Those expansions were also $30-40 each, whereas this is $10 to subscribers. It's a full planet, and because of the voice acting, it takes longer to make class stories for 8 classes! People need to calm down and also realize that it came out within 1 year, which WoW always took 2 years between expansions. I can't help but think Bioware actually loves making the game, and it shows.
They dam near re-made the entire game and not liking the underwater zones is a matter of preference not about the work that was put in. You're also forgetting the raids and new race that was added as well.

I also think people fail to realize the mention of "More information coming out in the upcoming months".
More. Information.
They JUST announced an expansion yet people seem to think all we're getting is a new planet and a raised level cap.
People ***** about subscribers needing to get the expansion for free, and whine because they have to pay half the cost because they shell out fifteen dollars a month.
Seriously guys, if you don't like it just don't pick it up.

There's DLC and Adventure Packs and the like that cost this kind of money, and have somewhere around this level of content.

They're calling it an expansion though. Sure, right? They've increased the level cap so it's an expansion?

Well, yes and no. The level cap increase actually makes it worse. The increase to level cap makes it REQUIRED to purchase this "expansion" to continue to run around in endgame, which needs to be scaled up to the new cap.

DLC and adventure packs and the like were never required purchases. Expansions were never so paltry in size.

I'm actually kind of impressed at how they've managed to combine the worst of both worlds here.

It also added a continent which added up might be good part of this entire game, new race, new class, scenarios, raid timers, pet-battles along with a host of features.

Ummm.... Blizzard rebuilt the entire old world in Cataclysm. They redid every single zone in the game outside of the other expansion (Outlands, Northrend). ON TOP OF THAT, they added all the elemental planes and areas as well as a mass of new dungeons and raids. What are you smoking? It was like the largest content expansion the game ever saw.

So true, even though the content isn't worth it, many of us will be pretty much forced to buy this 'expansion' just for the level-cap.

I would rather have no content at all than deal with this terrible organisation.

It's only world story unless they have changed things drastically since the guild summit. Sorry no link but I'm sure you are at least as skilled with google as I am...

why don't we all wait for more info on the expansion before we all get too serious. I'm sure there's more to this expansion than what has been detailed so far.
