They're playing the mystique card where the less we know the more anxious we're going to get because once they tell us, very little is left to the imagination.

I think you're giving them too much credit. If they had something awe-inspiring to show us I have no doubt that they would. While mystery can certainly be a selling point, flash and substance do a much better job. They're showing us a waypoint, spinning, a tree falling in the water, common mobs walking around, a handful of NPCs in an otherwise barren looking city, a gate opening in a dungeon, flaming rocks falling from the sky, and cutscene NPCs posing.

Where are shots of the new jobs in action? Where are PCs decked out in weapons and armor we've never seen before? Where are the shots of sinister villains and screen-filling, god-like monsters blowing shit up? We need some wow factor and we need it now. Otherwise, I'm going to keep on assuming they don't have anything to show and this expansion is going to be extraordinarily incomplete at launch (even more than past ones), because they really don't have much time left. It's the end of December, the pack comes out in March, and they have a skeleton crew working on this game. Something don't add up.
