Let's just hope the limited amount of arena points and rank per rated bgs really is limited and not some crazy high amount that you need to play 50 bgs to max it out. They say they want to prevent grind, then do so! When arena first came out the whole point was a rated system vs a grind system that old honor was, but it has slowly changed from win 10-20 games a week at an 80% ratio to win 51% of your games and play 500 of them to get glad. That's a grind. Hopefully the rated bgs don't become that.

i just hope the whole guild leveling system wont HAVE to be for elitist only. Dont get me wrong its ok if those who defeat the worst endgame bosses imaginable get something. Just not something so awesome that everyone else will strive for it and forget their old trusty guild.Call me a whiner and so on i just wish for the guild leveling system to be something even a social leveling guild could accomplish :P
They announced that goblins can be DKs. Worgen can as well.
I believe that this new Guild system will make guilds what I thought they should be. While leveling, a guild seems to be nothing but an additional friendslist, but Cataclysm will change all that with Guild Legendary items, mounts, and achievements...not to mention more of a team feel.As for end-game raiding guilds, the achievement system will make a cleaner/easier way to rate guild experience and talent.
I would put money on the fact that the exp will come out in Nov. of 2010, following the trend of the previous 2 expansions and even the release itself.To those QQing about this "ruining the game" or making it "like WAR", have any of you tried any of the competition? Its garbage...as many breaks as I've taken from this game since the release back in '04, I always find myself back in Azeroth since all of the alternatives are far less entertaining, detailed, or challenging.I say bring on the Cataclysm!
No comment on the majority of changes because its 4:30am and i got up 22 hours ago at 6:30am but one thing i wanted to say reading the comments.Leveling in Azeroth was Never boring for me.Its Outlands that i really dread and loathe having to go through multiple times.In Azeroth if you were level 30 and you didn't want to level late quest 1000 needles/Desolace you could go to Arathi or Stranglethorn Vale and its the same for lower and higher level brackets.When you hit 58-60 its "Go to Hellfire to quest. ONLY Hellfire, No alternative for you this time round".Thank God wrath of the lich king brought back the choice between Borean Tundra & Howling Fjord (although i did both on all my 80's)It will be interesting to see the changes to the azerothian terrain and be able to fly around but personally i see it as a negative aspect to leveling because you have to learn it all again.---My 2 cents on Terrain Changes---
