From what I understand - there's some epic dumbing-down that's going down, and it's going to suck. What REALLY sucks about it - is that all the awesome content that hasn't even been out all that long ... is already going dead. Bullshit.

They're dumbing down in starter game, but endgame is getting a boost again however. For one CC shall matter again, no more pulling entire rooms within a raid and just area nuking it down and still managing to survive as tanks can practically not die, healers have next to infinite mana and DPS is free to pull 50k+ on such mobs.
Next to that the raid bosses are also getting some pretty funky tactics to them, those blizzcon attempts were funny to watch, wipe after wipe after wipe :p.

I heard the healing cost for abilities have been bumped up a lot. Also, I haven't seen a DPS class that can pull 50k per ability with blues or epics yet from the videos I've watched and numbers I have seen. The boss and mobs health and attacks have been boosted to match what we're capable of doing. Basically, the difficulty for a level 85 (exceptional-or-better gear) is still tough/hard.

Yeh that's what I mean, the days of doing what I said as we see now in wotlk raids is over. And HC duns like Drak'Tharon Keep (which you can finish in 2 mob pulls before first boss, AoE spam. boss. 1 mob pull before 2nd boss. boss. 2 mob pulls before 3 boss if you decide to do the raptor. 2 mob pulls before final. final boss) are over. Just gathering big quantities of mobs and nuking without fear of death shall be gone.
It'll be fun to see the first weeks/months of the LFG system though, or pug raiding for that matter. Can see the ragequit level being insane xD.

Pre-Ordered Cataclysm for some reason, I don't even want it.
Gear is rigged to hell, over powered like crazy.

Do you have any fucking idea how expansions work?
The stats are scaled up, yeah they may seem like a lot now, but that's how it was for BC and WotLK. The jump from Nax 40 epics to BC greens was pretty retarded, so I wouldn't be complaining now.
