BlizzCon: New content playable on Friday

But it has to mean *something*. And once it does, the hard math checks need to be uptuned to reflect that reality. Plus it can't be that difficult - Johnny casual needs to be able to be a Mountain King or a Dark Ranger. The whole game is pretty much based casuals being allowed to play. Combine a noticeable boost in power with something that is achievable to casuals, and it becomes mandatory for any raider with hopes of seeing the end of the game. Essentially you have just extended the level curve, and probably put a (semi)permanant choice at the end of it. But the level curve is the way it is because Blizzard thinks it is about right, and they already have a semi-permant choice (talents).

It could just be a new leveling system post 70. Instead of becoming a level 71 warrior you become a 71 berserker. You could get your 61 points in the warrior talent trees, and 1 in the berserker trees or something. This would allow them to add extra levels, classes, and talents, without having to try and balance the old talent trees for another 10 points.
