This is where Blizzard fouled up. I get why the studio is pushing into the third expansion. It’s not what I would’ve done, but I get it. The problem is that the studio isn’t giving us any choice whether we want to stay in the Wrath era or not. We either go along with this, we eject from the game, or we head to Classic Era or Retail.
