Blizzard is Unstoppable

I've been playing in the WotLK the beta, and can say for certain that Paladin's and Priests are fairly extensively buffed. But those are the only two chars I have past 70 on this account.

Blizzard has patches down to a science at this point, though. They know exactly what will keep people playing and make old players look twice at resubscribing.

Adding new classes to MMORPG's with PvP elements also has a tendency to ruin balance for a while.

Being a ex FFXI player, I must say that it has a bad effect on PVE also if you add too many new classes. I'd take more balance over more variety any day. Though honestly, with how the talent tree system works, I'd say the game has a ton of variety too.

My mains are Retribution Pally and Survival Hunter. I can tell both of them seem to be fairly well buffed.

And how pissed do you think Games Workshop is? Blizzard has essentially been ripping off every idea GW ever had and has been perfecting it in a video game world. Starcraft is the most obvious piece of plaigerism (sp?) I've ever seen, copying the look and set-pieces of Warhammer 40k down to every last space marine, and GW is left with their collective junk in their hand having stuck to their turn-based ethic for far too long.

Finally, GW is moving forward, but I thinks its far too late. Blizzard has co-opted their world and made it play so well to the populace that GW will likely be accused of copying Blizzard's copy of GW's game world.

Not to take anything away from Blizzard, as they have made fantastic games, but they still ripped off GW's universes.
