    This is what the older trailers accomplished that the new ones are falling flat at. Without the information we have from the live letter a returning player would have no clue what is being shown.
    Less is more. Why spoil everything the patch has to offer in the trailer? Get people interested and have them discover the content for themselves rather than showing them everything in a trailer like your average American Hollywood movie trailer.

    Because not everyone is currently playing the game, having it segmented can lure people back in by showing them content they might be interested in, the current format is such a jumbled mess that someone who missed a patch or two would have no idea of what he's looking at, and the trailer makes sure of that by changing scenes every few seconds

    Isn't this why they have a dedicated site for every major patch? If someone's been gone from the game for a long time and they want to catch up with what's current or coming soon in a new patch, they probably shouldn't be trying to glean all of that information from a trailer alone even if we still had the old, longer ones.
