By now Patch 4.0.1 is in full swing. Everyone's talents are trashed and they are scrambling to fix their glyphs and gems. The Auction House and normal functions of one's UI are broken or missing. There are problems accessing one's bank account. Many addons don't work. There are bugs in the raids. (The Solo MMO Player was stuck in Halls of Reflection for hours last night, unable to exit or switch to another character.) Most of the body of information that has been accumulated online to help players is outdated, including most of what is on this site. I've also heard that a great many guilds are telling certain classes not to raid because they've been nerfed. There was so much chaos earlier in the week that the trolls weren't even on the chat line. Currently there is a constant background clicking going on in-game as players switch this and that.
The worst part is that this mess is just Blizzard's way of having a world-wide beta paid for by the players. I expect they are watching all the problems and bugs and making a list of those they want to fix before Cataclysm arrives. Cynical? No, this is just how Blizzard treats their customers. All this is for their convenience, not yours.
It's not a happy time. When you think that you are going to be playing in a Patch 3.3.5 world with Patch 4.0.1 characters until after December 7--if you buy Cataclysm--and forever if you don't, well, this is a Bet the Company move on Blizzard's part.
Do you really want to continue to play this game?

For the first time in 3 years I have cancelled my subscription. Its not much fun to play right now and I am just messing around with other games until SWtOR comes out. Sorry Blizz...
Sorry, Dalt. I think a lot of folks are in your shoes. After all, why play a broken game until Blizzard (presumably) fixes it in December?
