Of all the Blizzard employees who post on the official forums, Blizzard dungeon designer, Tigole, always seems to provide the most useful information, even if he's not allowed to be specific. Today, he posted a note on the loot tables of Molten Core bosses. I thought the most interesting part of the post was his closing line:
There are two things I glean from this. First, the next patch is coming soon. I wouldn't bet money on it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it came out in about a week. I would put money on it coming out before the end of the month. Second, it sounds like Blizzard is planning to return to the model they had in the beta of issuing smaller patches more often. It's entirely speculation on my part, but I'm guessing that they tried so hard to get battlegrounds into the next patch that they kept delaying it and delaying it and finally decided that they couldn't delay the patch any more and decided to remove battlegrounds from the spec's of the upcoming patch.
