Blizzard will further simplify the already over simplified game of wow gold with the new character stat and gear system. This will cause hardcore players and intelligent players that like fiddling with gear and numbers to get upset that the game is becoming a joke, however there will still be nowhere else to go for wow gold. The huge number of average players and noobs out there will still scream that the game is too complicated and gear to hard for them to get wow gold.

Cataclysm will launch far later than most players would like, having long since cleared Icecrown Citadel. During this lull in new content many players will leave the game for lack of anything new to do for wow gold. However once Cataclysm launches player numbers will sky rocket once again, servers will crumble under the load and we will all once again worship at the throne that is Blizzard.

For better or worse, the launch of Cataclysm will usher in a new phase for World of Warcraft. While Blizzard will quite likely achieve record breaking first week sales at retail, the current king of the MMOG hill could also experience its first true taste of seeing a sizable exodus within the first critical month after Cataclysm goes live as players come to the conclusion that the game they knew and loved for 5 years no longer exists, but they instead get to play their existing characters in a strange new world that has the same basic shape of Azeroth.
