- Theories behind the fake patch notes. Are players creating these to let Blizzard know what they'd like to see?
- Predictions about the leaked Sunwell loot making it to the live servers.
- The lack of new information lately on the Wrath expansion and the impact of announcing only 1 Heroic class.
- The Sunwell Plateau 25-man progression and Blizzard's lack of focus on new content for high end raiders until now
- WoW's new subscriber base of 10 million. What does this means in terms of the MMO landscape?
Join us every week on Saturday at 3:30pm EST for an hour of live debate on The WoW Insider Show.

Well, they are planning to implement ItemRack/Outfitter in UI (including more space for your gear sets, yay!) and also something similar to Deadly Boss mods - boss timers and stuff.
I am not sure if they plan it in 2.4 or WotLK.

Judging by the so far promised threat meter, item rack, and boss mods, I'd bet there will be significant API changes and most mods will die, or at least do a few strange things.
On the other hand, assuming they do a good job until SCT, I should be able to delete several of the mods (Particularly since those are the ones that tend to be updated constantly.)

Great episode, can't wait to hear next one.
One that bothers me though, I would like to hear the new information discussed rather than talk about the lack of information. Unfortunately, that's up to Blizz :(

Why are people surprised about the lack of high end raid content? If Blizzard was making WoW for the Nihillums of the world they would need to bring out a new raid every 2-3 months, or make them much, much, much harder (or just have retarded resist checks ala legacy raids).
This is why I always laugh at the "elite" who think they are so awesome for burning through the content in a mass market MMO (months after the top guilds do it mind you). WoW simply isn't meant to be hard at the level of an individual player, it is a teamwork challenge, and raids are not aimed at the people who beat it within weeks of release.

I am subscribed to your podcast and I really enjoy them, but I had to stop listening to this one because Matthews nostral breathing just drove me insane. Sometimes the audio quality is quite bad and I really hope you guys improve that in your following shows.
Thanks for the show, keep them comming
