I presume at least half the playing population has yet to hear about the stat squish.

I CAN'T WAIT. I am going to make either an awesome human male paladin with one of the freshly unlocked names (They're releasing all old names that people haven't touched in a couple of years -a lot of the REALLY cool names were taken by someone long ago and will thus be able to be picked by anyone) or a human female priest. Time will tell, I just can't wait for the new models
We're near WoD now boys, reaaaaaal close

Oh god, we're gonna see people spamming all channels trying to sell cool names for months, aren't we?
Won't the MoP content get the same type of stat squish players are getting? In theory the difficulty of MoP content between now and WoD release should remain relatively the same.

Key word here is theory. Players have less cc, disables, and self healing. You think they went through and manually changed 2 year old content to accommodate the changes?

Here's a breakdown...6.0.2 PTR Patch Notes - Sep 18 - World of Warcraft
Removing reforging, hit, and expertise should be interesting for sure.

It is going to be interesting to see how well the did the stat squish in older content. Fully expect a lot of teething pains and a lot of hand tuning of numbers on older content for the next month. I would be pretty leery of trying any challenging content next week cause I can almost guarantee there are going to be some outlier mobs that just explode tanks here and there.
Actually Blizzard did already go in and retune MoP content. I am basing that off this thread in the WoD beta raids and dungeons forum.

Kinda sad coming back into the expansion really late, I don't think there's any way I can get a garrosh kill pre 6.0. Maybe I'll have some luck this weekend finding a carry or something, but currently I've been denied to every raid for being 512, including flex SoO
I still have the last 3 lfrs for SOO to do but even if I get a drop from every single boss, which I won't, my ilvl won't go up that high anyways. Oh whaaaaaaaaaale. Gonna have to stop being a jew and pay my way to a carry

I'm not sure you'd get an invite to normal Throne of Thunder with an ilevel of 512. You're definitely going to have to pay someone.
It's going to be nice having multiple primary stats on armor. My enhancement shaman can now switch over to elemental without having to carry around a second set of gear.

Yeah at this point most alts are higher than 512 the day they become 90 so that's kind of tough.
