Such a shame, here i was thinking that with this so called expansion bringing 2 new races into the mix that they'd actually "START" in the outlands and have new area's set up to add the flavor of the outlands to them.
It's been public knowledge (on the WoW website no less) for months that the races would be starting on the main continents. Outlands won't be immediately accessible - it will be opened with a world event. The Outlands will consist of 60+ zones and instances, filling out the new 60-70 level range.
If you don't like that fine, but this whole armchair game design is getting tedious. Yes, I'm sure they could have released an expansion with content for every level in the game, as well as expanding for the new range of 60-70. They didn't, and rather understandably focused on expanding and fleshing out the endgame. Considering it's supposed to take close to the time required to level 1-60 just to get from 60-70, I'm rather glad they did. I'd rather have 20 endgame instances and well fleshed out endgame (which WoW did not have by any measure at release) than spread themselves thin again and wind up with the exact same problem of people running out of content.
I'm looking forward to crazy demon dungeons and Illidan and customizable difficulty and doing Kharazan. I'm not going to fret that they didn't waste time making Razorfen Downs II: Outlands Boogaloo. I mean enough people skip the already existant instances, I'd rather they focus on expanding the game for their current player base.
