The LFR stuff looks drab, but there's so much transmog gear out there that everyone's still going to look like comic book superheros. I bet most people just keep their current appearance. The LFR stuff especially looks like vanilla launch models. I can't imagine most people are going to give up their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink radioactive glowy shoulderpads and shit for that.

Graphic preferential treatment only lasts until the expansion. So it is. So it's always been.

Oh sweet baby Jesus ~ I thought I was the only one. A buddy even offered to drag me through them for the achievements and I still didn't care.

I'm torn on whom i want to focus on when the expac comes out ;_; first world problems
I should really just stop looking at their changes because everything changes on an almost daily basis.
Was excited about rogues, now they're pretty much what they are currently which is boring

I'm holding out for a new hero class, but I'm of the mind they're going to drop that as part of purely financial move. Almost guaranteed they have something like that very near ready to go and if they drop below X amount of subscribers, they'll launch it and ride a wave for returning player money for 2 years, minimum.

I think this was around the time of the blizzcon reveal of WoD, but one of the devs basically said there wouldn't be another hero class because nobody took DK's seriously when they were released (they got to skip the first 57ish levels, free gear, bags, etc). The general community didn't feel like DK players were as committed to their characters, weren't as skilled... he had a laundry list of supposed feedback. That's why monks start at level 1 instead of 75 or whatever the hero class equivalent would've been.

The only type of hero class that would be taken seriously is someone already at max level that started some fucked up, nightmarish 1 year real time quest that upon completion allowed him to start that class with said toon. Something that made the cloak shit look like a 10 minute daily.

Hell they've been repeatedly saying that since during WotLK's lifespan. Even longer than that if you consider the LK alpha where they said, "Yeah so you know how we're calling DK a hero class? Well we changed our mind and don't want them to be more powerful than other classes, so 'hero' just means they start at higher level, that's all."
If Blizzard ever implemented what we would all want out of an actual hero class, they would need to release multiple hero classes simultaneously. So, no they are never going to put in hero classes, and I'm sure as fuck they don't already have them 'ready to go' right now.

Very liberal doses of sarcasm in this thread and you're acting really serious. Its not like someones nonchalantly making fun of retarded babies. Slow downnn!
I wonder why they called it a 'hero' when DK was just really another class. I think hero I think Jedi in the original SWG. Anyways, with insta 80s, it's not like skipping levels is a big deal anymore
They should make a real hero class, but make it really really difficult. No long SWG quest, just something super tough. For some reason this comes to mind:

Originally weren't hero classes supposed to be like upgraded classes, like to become a DK you would need a paladin, perform a quest and it'd make you into a DK and shit? I think that's when they started to mention it, but by the time WotlK rolled they stopped calling it a hero class and just called it a normal class, or maybe they kept the name because of the whole "don't have to do the terrible vanilla content" thing.
