I think that WoW has the potential to be good, but going from extensive battle.net history, Blizzard has demonstrated an awe-inspiring ability to underestimate their customer base both in numbers

That was a problem with Starcraft and Diablo 2. It wasn't a problem with Warcraft 3. Blizzard learned their lesson and plans accordingly now.
... and in ingenuity to cheat.

Not a serious problem in other MMORPGs, won't be a problem in WoW. You can't compare something like Diablo 2 to World of Warcraft. One is an MMORPG, one isn't. One you pay a subscription for, one you don't.

I find it insane that people can say this. Exactly how much
do you know about WoW? You don't even know all the races, you don't know
any classes, you don't know how their PvP will work, you don't know how leveling will work, you don't know how skills and spells will work, and you don't know any other miscellaneous details. It's pointless for anyone to make a solid statement against WoW being good, because they've released such little information on it that it's impossible to tell (and given how much SWG said they'd have, and how much they had to cut, I'm glad Blizzard is holding back).
The only thing you know for
certain is that it's being made by Blizzard, and Blizzard will not allow their reputation to falter, so there is no chance that they'd release the game if it isn't extremely good.
And to add my two cents, I think it's going to be excellent. As I said, it's Blizzard, and they have a reputation to keep. Not only is the setting the game takes place in one I've been playing in for years through the Warcraft franchise, but they have more talent, money, and committment to outmatch any other development team making an MMORPG at the moment. Unless they do something stupid like make those fucking panda men a playable race, WoW will kick ass for sure -- Blizzard wouldn't have it any other way.
