I imagine Argus as a "Vashj'ir sized" zone!

I had this weird feeling we would see Argus in 7.3, so now here is what I think could very easily happen when it does come out...
I think they might pull a "Vashj'ir sized" zone on us; kinda how Vashj'ir was split into 3 sub-zones...
-ONE REASON THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS IS
because the outside broken shore zone basically needed no work and thal'dranath was a no-go for quite a while anyway, so they would have had about a year's worth of time between 7.0 and 7.3 release. This is probable since they do a lot of preplanning before most of their major content patches, especially in recent times; and again what did they really need to do to finish The Broken shore's final zone design...?.
-ANOTHER REASON THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS IS
because at the time of 7.3's conception they would have decided to save time by creating most of Argus's World-Zone at the same time they were creating Argus's Raid-Zone. Which makes sense since raids are usually very big in scale anyway and share lots of assets with the open world. So if they were making Argus into a "Vashj'ir sized" zone, then a HUGE amount of assets could easily be shared between the World-Zone and Raid-Zone versions in order to make Argus bigger than the usual zone would be!
Also, I have a good feeling about this part of a past Q&A interview...
But just note that I say this only because Blizzard knows that they can't oversimplify the magnitude of the Legion's number of forces, strongholds and powers, in front of Blizzard's audience... WE THE GAMERS!
Q: Is Argus just a raid or a whole new continent?
A: Argus is not a leveling experience or expansion.
Patch 7.3 is Argus:
outdoor zones
, instanced contents, raids, other features. Capstone of the story of the Legion expansion. After the temporary peace, we need to go to the source of the Legion and put a stop to them once and for all.

That's not really a spoiler; was revealed in a Q&A some time ago. As for the idea; Vash isn't that 'huge', as you can complete it in a day easily. It only seems large due to the swimming mechanic.

No it's not really a spoiler, but did you guess correctly? :)
