No to your first 4, and he's not kicked out of the game, he's off fighting some threat.

Same diff he isn't the big protector of Orgrimmar
So, in that vein, if Thrall ever dies, the Horde is just going to explode eh?

I am thinking that Cata might be downfall of World of Warcraft.
-First off they are only having the level cap to 85
Still, going for a level to another will take longer and feel more like an accomplishment.
-Second they are destroying old Azeroth and building a new one
It will feel more refreshing. Old Azeroth is content 5 years old, it's a good time for an overhaul.
-Third they are trying out under water raid
We don't know if the instances in Abbysal Maw will be underwater. Also we know little about The city of Vashj'ir to start saying it's something bad.
-Fourth they are making a race for Alliance that is more a Horde race (People go to Alliance to be able to get the races that aren't ugly/undead or un-natural)
Why not in alliance? only because they are animal-like doesn't mean they won't fit. It a good contrast with the more human-like races of the Alliance (like Belf are good contrast for the other races of the Horde).
-Finally they are kicking Thrall out of the game!
Thrall will still be in-game, and will have more important part in the plot of the expansion than ever before.

After some thinking... this guy might be correct. Think about it:
A massively big dragon is going to ascend to our world carrying with him an otherworldly plane of Elementals and is going to rip the world apart.
It will certainly be the end of the World... of Warcraft.

The Sundering > The Cataclysm.
If we survived Pangea to Modern day, except speeding up the process so that millions of years are passing in seconds, and there's a giant ass explosion, I'm fairly sure we can survive an overgrown earthworm.

The more they release about it the worst it feels like it will turn out. They have said they will have a third expansion, but they don't want to put out a release date or beta release. What is wrong?
1. There are a variety of reasons for this. But honestly what would you rather have? An extra zone or 2 that you'll level through and never look back, oe a much larger endgame experience right out the door.
2. I don't think you understand the purpose of the changes. The point is to bring old Azeroth up to the questing standards of Northrend. The only reason we will have a tad more lava here and there is because of the expansion's theme.
3. I agree that it's a bit of a gamble, but I wouldn't be so quick to declare it a negative. After all they are changing how underwater content works.
4. The idea of "Horde=Savage Alliance=Pretty" kind of died a screaming agonizing death in Burning Crusade when Blood Elves were introduced to the Horde. Lorewise the Worgen are 100% Alliance due to their Gilnean origins, and that's all that matters now.
5. They aren't kicking hom out of the game. Heck we know for a fact he plays a significant role in the Goblin starting area. All that's happening is Thrall is, likely temporarily, vacating his position in order to focus on healing the land after the Cataclysm. In fact I expect he'll have a bigger role in Cataclysm then he did in WotLK or BC.
Finally they won't put out a release date or beta because neither of those things are ready. The game as a whole has to be in a state you want people to see before you put out the beta and release dates are never announced by Blizzard until the game has gone into manufacturing. If they were to announce a release date now, it would probably end up off by a few months, or the game would be released in a buggy, unplayable state.

The only thing I've heard flying around that makes me seethe with rage at Blizzard is the rumor (is this fully confirmed anywhere? Please say no) that Garrosh has Cairne declared a traitor and killed. Blizzard may get an angry email with lots of inappropriate language if this happens.
In my mind though, I just can't see this happening. Not saying it won't, because it's not up to be, but Cairne is a beloved icon in WoW lore and, if Garrosh has him killed, I see that as a sign Blizzard is going to have Garrosh later die or have something bad happen to him.
I think that simply because I don't (CAN'T!) see Horde players supporting Garrosh if he has everyone's favorite beefstake killed. Even if my character doesn't know it, I'll know it and I can't in good conscience support him, but I can in good conscience kick Garrosh really hard in the shins.

Imo, i´'ve always thought that the Azeroth levlng sucks and when u get to Outland ( and later on Northrend) It's pretty much awesome because these quests are much funnier.
And the whole theme of the Expansion is really nice i think, and youre only gonna need one tactic for raids,
DONT STAND IN THE ******* FIRE!
Cata will be awesome

I can think of
many
other things, right off the bat, that are more likely to be the downfall of WoW than Cataclysm.

Others have argued his specific points with the same general conclusions I have, so no point reiterating them. Except I will say that most of these are opinions, in which the OP doesn't like the twists in the story or the numbers they chose.
I think more valid arguments are the people who look at one change and QQ "My class is nerfed because there will be no more int on mail physical DPS gear and I get AP from Int, now I'll never be picked for raids" (you know, ignoring the fact that class designers and gear teams are working together to make it so that, after changes, classes will be rebalanced). I think it's just funny how "the sky is falling" is for worse and worse reasons every day.

Global Warming is a predominate one.
Another is Bush.

They said the same thing about dual spec, they say the same before every patch and expansion. Tell me, do YOU have Dual spec? If you say yes, then remember that Dual spec ruined WoW and you should cancel and go cry in a corner.
Meh... No Cata will not be the downfall of WoW, it depends on the final release. But the guys from blizzard have been known to f*up... but they also fix those.
What will be the downfall of WoW, is people like you. People like you that are afraid of change. You post junk like this, a person interested in joining wow reads it and doesn't sign up. Why are people so afraid of change? Personally I like it I leveled my Shaman through Kalimdor & EK, and yeah would be sad to see some of them go, but do you still go to Desolice? at 80 I mean? Nothing for you there so no point. Change is good.
-First off they are only having the level cap to 85
Think. Please. If they had made BC cap 65 & WotlK 70 & Cata 75, you would not whine about just 5 levels. I think this is what they should have done. Gives more space to level, thus more space for expansions. :P (I think level cap in classic wow should have been 40. 8 expansions b4 you hit 80 ^^) Leveling from 70-80 is already taking forever, no 5 levels is better, 80-81 will probably feel like 7(7?)8 - 80 anyway.
They have said they will have a third expansion, but they don't want to put out a release date or beta release.
O.O do you read? a few days ago they started with closed beta (or alpha can't remember) it is a topic IN THIS FORUM. If you can't be bothered to search, I can't be bothered to do it for you.
