That is my complaint.

Then again, I've not played World of Warcraft much and I know this game is heavily inspired by it. Perhaps this is how WoW worked?
There is a lot changing though, the basics will stay the same because they work, but the entire battle system is changing, we are getting new. (never before seen) content that hasn't been announced yet, not to mention the graphics (which you said haven't changed) have ALREADY shown a notable improvement - go back and play 3.55 and tell me that the new faces of Lyse and Gosetsu don't seem slightly jarring because they are higher poly.

Ultimately we have only scratched the surface with information. I know right now you aren't very hyped up, but to say that the expansion is a rehash is naive at best. This live letter wasn't intended to reveal much other than the benchmark (which in itself wasn't meant to reveal much), and we have the other massive one on the 20th May. Even then, HWs most game changing piece of content - PotD, wasn't even revealed until 3.2
