So I've seen a lot of posts around the internet (and on this site) concerning the addition of Death Knights in the upcoming expansion and a lot of the posts seem worried about Death Knights taking away work from current tanks.

I don't know what it's like on other servers, but on Dragonmaw we have a huge shortage of people willing to tank. The way I see this is it's a way to help correct that problem. They said it's going to be a tank/DPS hybrid, not all of them will be tanking. Think of it like Druid's and Paladins. They're very effective tanks, but not all of them *do* tank. They're just trying to find the right balance.

I also see people saying "oh man, everyone's going to roll a Death Knight and the game will be ruined!" or something along that line.

Fact is people said the same thing when Paladins were going to be introduced to Horde for the Burning Crusade expansion. Was the game ruined? No.

It was another way for Blizzard to balance the game between Horde and Alliance. And it did just that. The only thing they really have left is Fear Ward, and that's going to be spread around soon also.

Overall just about everything they do is about balancing the game. And compared to other MMO's they do a pretty damn good job if I must say so my self! I just hope they don't hurry this expansion out too fast. I've yet to experience everything BC has to offer up.  ;P

I'm very excited about this expansion though. I can't wait to see what else they have in store for it. They obviously haven't released all the information/tweaks they'll be doing and I can't wait to see that stuff when they announce it.

I'm particularly excited about the new profession. It's a pretty awesome idea. The thought of adding a stun proc, or anything like it to one of my spells/attacks is pretty cool. I can't wait to see what else will be available to that profession.

What do you guys look forward to? If anything.

And what would you like see added that hasn't been mentioned yet?

I personally think they need to add a way for people to change factions. Like a super long/challenging, and costly chain that you can only do once a year. Not that I'd switch factions or anything. I just think it's an option people need instead of having to delete their characters or buy a whole new account.
