This actually looks really good. Cataclysm has been by favorite so far, but I'm liking the look of the new areas and the theme's it's going for. Who cares if the Pandaren were just an easter-egg to start with? It's clear even from the limited previews we've had so far that Blizzard have taken what was just a small joke in an earlier game, and spent time and effort into making it a decent addition to the game.
Anyone who says they were running out of ideas obviously hasn't heard of Outland or ever been to the end of WotLK. Even I could come up with a bunch of new ideas from that.

I'm sorry, but Pandaren in WoW are equivalent to Tribbles in Star Trek (I think that's what those are called).
Its a simple marketing ploy to expand the game in China
How is that equivalent at all? Tribbles were in like 3 episodes out of almost 800 and were introduced for a single comic relief episode in a series that didn't even get popular till after cancellation.
There is always a lot of hate and anger when a new expansion for WoW comes out. For me WoW is a nice way to entertain myself on those days I have a random video game itch. For me the changes from when the game started are great as it's more casual. Hence I'll enjoy the new expansion to at my leasure. If it's not your thing then move onto the next thing that is. Less anger, more knowing what you want and going out and finding it.

People need to get a new past time. Rather than WoW bashing or hating anything that gets brought up on the internet, paint your armies so I don't have to play against half glued together or primed if I'm lucky models.
