Two big questions
1.) Is there going to be no flying till 90??

2.) Is there going to be a 10th charecter slot??

Yes, you are ruining the talent trees and the individuality of the play. Everyone is gonna become a cookie cutter character like everyone else in their class with minimal options for uniqueness. It's like you are making an MMORPG for dummies!!! I like the original talent tree options where you could pick and chose from each tree. I barely accepted it when we were forced to chose all the way down one tree before selecting another and now you are making things worse. And then there are Pandas!!!! LMAO, one lousy NPC that Thrall did a couple of quests for in WC3 and you are making a whole expansion out of them!?!?!?! You know I tried Rift, actually like the game a lot, but wasn't going to pay for 2 MMORPGs. Seems now I know which one I'm gonna stop playing now. When Mists comes out I will be leaving WoW after 7 yrs of playing it. It's sad you cave into childish rantings for Pandas and homogenization of characters.

It's nice to see than Pandarens can't be paladins. It'll be refreshing to see less of them when playing.

Really just can not wait any longer. I almost feel like they're testing me at this point, or think they are.

Well, patience is a virtue, as we say.

Just curious...why are people being invited to the MoP Beta test when they didn't even sign up for the Annual Pass. Don't you think the people who did should be invited first? Fail again Blizz...

Hope they make it so in PVP qu levels will be set to mach other peoples level so if you qu between levels 300-333 you will be matched with other people with the same levels easier to play and would be more fun

@Terarion: That would be good for those of us just starting out in PvP too, as then we don't have to be afraid of getting totally mauled the moment we step into the Arena/BG/etc. :P

@Wtfear: Curious if that was a Python reference? But also to mention, the values are being scaled back to WotLK values, or as I've heard.

@Prisder: I would like them to make tree of life a permanent shapeshift instead of a 31 second shift. and will pandarens be able to be druids?

@Thasarias: in Lich King, Tree of Life was a permanent form. I guess it was OP for pvp, because they nerfed it in Cataclysm. All nerfs that they make for pvp, they will not unmake for pve, like potions, etc.

I would have liked to know if the pandarian language will still be understandable to pandarians of either faction?
Did anyone ask that question?

@Julxin: They've said in other places that once a Pandaren player chooses Alliance or Horde they will no longer be able to communicate with Pandaren of the opposing faction.
Honestly, it would be a bit broken if only one playable race was able to speak to both sides, and it's likely it would just lead to trash-talking. :\

@Lirenna: yeh but it could also lead to some interesting developements... how many hordies have u seen standing outside goldshire and ever wondered "wtf r they saying?" well panda's could serve as interpreters. lol would be epic, id make a panda just so i can serve as a translator xD, id charge ppl for my services xD... im lovin this idea.. BLIZZ MAKE PANDAS ABLE TO ALWAYS UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER! srsly it doesnt make sense. why if they can talk in startin zone would they all of a sudden not understand each other the second they choose factions?

Very cool interactive interview, thanks all. I am liking the teasers for MoP; the world seems open and airy and after years of WotLK and Cata I am sick of dark and dreary.
