When I have kids, and I want to educate them in the uselessness of jumping to conclusions, I'll show them threads on Wowhead.
If this does mean a delay to the pre-patch I am deeply disappointed but by no means am I surprised.
At this point I should just go play PTR then.
*munches popcorn* yall salty. here I was coming on to express how disappointed I was at this very expected turn of events, but yall did well enough. here's to another 4 weeks of disappointment. on a different note, because they're advertising the sale of release to be next month, I guarantee that it will be next month. I've NEVER seen them push back a solid launch date for any reason, they will give us BS if they have to just to keep their word, and work on a patch that'll take 5 months to give us what we should have gotten in the first place. expect less until they show us more guys, it is blizz after all.
I was sure it was going to be released on Oct. 6th with a possibility of it slipping to the 13th, but now I'm thinking the 13th is more likely as a result of this.
So 6th or 13th at the latest?
Just sit back and let the excitement of playing the pre-patch wash over you and stop worrying about the when. Its like Christmas, except you don't know which date its on. You know its going to be soon, so relax.

Honestly, as a loyal survival hunter since bits and pieces of late BC and a dreamlike state of WotLK (though i was a child and not lucid enough for most things...) I've seen some drastic changes to the spec I play. Legion was tough... but I learned to love it again until BfA came and ruined it all for me. And since it seems shadowlands would be no different. I think I might call it quits on maining survival hunter this expansion for the first time in about a decade and a half.
I'm switching server to raid and I'd love to level up a bunch of alts and gear them ready for Shadowlands in the prepatch but it seems we won't get much time to prepare.

Translation: They realized @#$% is still broken and they can't get it to minimum standards yet.
I'm OK with this. I'd rather wait longer for something good than something rushed and unfinished.You'd think people would have learned that lesson with Reforged...
It didn't make sense to launch the pre-patch in the middle of Brewfest anyways. Next week is Harvest Fest too. There will be two fests running concurrently. The earliest will have to be Oct 6.
