The wow EU general forum seems to be up in arms about the new expansion "World Of Warcraft: The Wrath Of The Lich King" from what ive seen, 70-80% of people are all for the expansion but against the level cap increase to 80 (which im also against)

Many people feel let down due to them working so hard for epics in tbc by raiding kara or pvping and to all that be wiped just to be replaced by lvl 71 greens, yes they did the same when tbc was launched but players were ready for a change after being level 60 for 2 years.

Blizzard announced that they would aim to release an expansion once every year, which most players didnt mind however wotlk ( wrath of the lich king ) came as abit of a shock because tbc ( the burning crusade) has only being around for approximately 7 months.

Do you think blizzard has brought this expansion forward to combat with the heavily anticipated Warhammer Online in order to prevent most of its community moving to WAR, are you all for the expansion? do you think wow will end up like runescape? ( level cap raised to 90, then 100 as im sure there is 4-6 more expansions planned ) or are you greatful for an new expansion?

What ever your views are, please post them!

i am agaisnt the lvl cap increase but the expansion is not going to be released this year it probably will be in january or february so players have plenty of time to finish up content

It's only been announced, I highly doubt they have a release date yet, I mean we knew about BC for a long time before it was released, and it's up to them about the level cap, it's not like you NEED to be high level or do raids, as you said before you are casual so by the time you're 70 and the expansion is out you'll have all the greens that are better than epic to play with instead of wasting time in huge raids

I'm actually for the increase in level cap -- it keeps the game fresh, and maybe I'll actually have an excuse to return to my lock.

Not to mention when people want the increase they'll need to wait for the next expansion before they can have it

[JoeyK.]

In any case, even if the level cap wasn't increased, there would still be a lot of new gear that would most likely be better than TBC's, so people would be forced to replace it to stay on top anyway.

I like the expansion features except for the cap also.
It takes me ages to level and I'm not even 70 yet. I'll probably only just make it to 70 by the time that it comes out and then it will be more levelling again. :(

[:Jamie]

Personally dont care about the lvl cap now, i love levelling, best thing about the game, people only go on the forums to whine about stuff if they dont like it then pfft why play.

[Rashelly]

I'm not really for or against the new expansion, I don't even have TBC yet (no point since I'm still a noob).
One thing though, I've seen a few people say this "It's going to be too much like runescape" ...HOW? Runescape is a different game all together. WoW is based more around questing/leveling, runescape, unless you're a complete noob, is more based around skilling AND combat...
Rant over.

i got ****** of by all the people whining so i made a thread http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=305512102&postId=3054251485&sid=1#0

reminds me i gotta check in a sec wonder how many flames i got

[JoeyK.]

Going to have to agree with both jamie and rach here.

[TehJoshy]

Maybe if the level cap was 75 or something :D
that might be a fair way to do it :P

[Robzor]

tbh , i think the lvl cap is a good thing.

like u said , people have worked hard for their epics , raid rewards etc.
but , its better than just being stuck at 70 for ages.

That would still make the old equipment worthless, even though I would agree with 75-- I don't know, it just sounds better than 80.

[Crimson]

I'm looking forward to it too, but also don't like the idea of the Cap being increased. It will be extremely difficult for new players and like you mentioned, players who have raided Kara etc. and have got good gear for level 70 will be pretty *REMOVED* off because of the cap increase.

[Infrontation]

I'm commited to one character and would like to get one character to the maximum level, then get some nice gear maybe start raiding but then I might have the time and will to start a new character. But by the time I'm 70 the expansion will be nearly out and I'll go back to my warrior ._.

[Joker]

>.> The Expansion's release date is upposed to be in a year or two so no need to get annoyed with the Level cap getting raised if your not 70 yet.

[mat64]

People complained about 60-70 for the same reasons, I'm for the cap increase as 60-70 was very enjoyable both times I did it and 70-80 should be no different.

[Nemo]

Wouldnt that also mean there could be new tiers?

[Guillotine]

I've never got a character past level 14 so it makes no differance to me :(

[:Jamie]

Wouldnt that also mean there could be new tiers?

Obviously.

[shokz]

Wouldnt that also mean there could be new tiers?Yes but probally would be added in the patch after the expansion so people hit 80/done the chain quests for DK

[Robzor]

the lvl1-lvl60 xp will be easier to gain apparently , due to the level cap increase.

Not coz the level cap increase but coz they want it to be faster now :P
Naxx is also going to be put in Northrend and retuned for lvl 80
