I was expecting MoP no sooner than end of October but I could have easily imagined a November/December release. Now don't get me wrong here, 4.3 is over and done since months ago and this is arguably the worst patch in the history of WoW but still what is done is done and I don't want to think of the start of MoP as it was in WoTLK/Cata start.
Seems like 4 tier expansions work out better or they should have given 4.0 and 4.2 more time before moving on. Either way as it currently stands this expansion is the shortest one (even shorter than TBC) and it never felt more rushed to me than now.
