Thread: 3.0 Launch Predictions

So, here's a fun idea: Predictions and inevitabilities due for the first few weeks of 3.0
Please keep in mind that, unless I give a time indication, I anticipate all of this happening simultaneously.
Also please post your own! Let's make this fun...ish :P
1) Server congestion: The servers WILL be flooded to hell, no matter what SE does.
2) Forum complaints about everything else on this list: Goes without saying.
2a) "Requests" for more of something
2b) "Requests" for less of the same thing (I'm cheating here since this'll happen anyway)
3) People playing DRK and expecting to be DPS
4) Players leaving groups if they see DRKs because of #3
5) LOLDRG stigma will have the last letter changed.
6) AST played as DPS
7) AST not doing DPS
8) MCH is the new BRD
9) MCH DPS is too high and HERE'S PROOF!
10) MCH DPS is too low and HERE'S PROOF!
11) One job, or all three, will be "too powerful" or "underpowered."
12) New abilities will make X class the new flavor of the month, while Y class becomes underpowered.
13) iLevels will go up, but too fast for some and not fast enough for others.
14) Some will finish everything in 2 weeks, and complain about nothing to do.
15) Alexander will be too easy
16) Alexander will be too hard. At the same time.
17) Players will call for a "rollback to pre-3.0" within 2 weeks of the expansion's launch, and will continue this call until they ultimately quit the game.
18) Players who don't buy the expansion will complain about having nothing to do.
19) Au Ra invasion, followed by a sudden spike in Fantasia sales.
20) Each "run" of Alexander will be conquered within three days of launch.
21) Someone will hit lvl 60 within 8 hours of the expansion's launch.
22) A lvl 60 AST, MCH, and DRK will be present for each server before the early start period is over.

How will I think of more when you did 22 of the most likely ones? D:

People will complain about flying no doubt, just like they did in WoW (and then complained when they restricted it in the latest expac!).

Flying ruined WoW, so yeah. Mostly positive feedback on the restriction.

Curious. How did flying "ruin" WoW?

I still don't see how this "ruined" WoW given there was about the same level of danger to players in WoW as there is in XIV.
I always remember mobs in WoW being an annoyance to be avoided, not a danger.

Too bad number 20 won't be happening... Since Alexander will be opened 2 weeks after launch.

Its common knowledge that its two weeks after the launch of HW. He is clearly referring to 3 days after Alexander launches. Its implied.

Huh? He didn't specify Savage Alexander. Normal Alexander will be available at launch according to everything I've seen. . .
