Keys and keyring are about butt useless. Storing them in the volumous bags is fine - just carry what you might need instead of every key you've gained in 85 levels, just to look at them.
But I agree with the don't they have something better to be doing with their time concept. More content. Less screwing around with stuff nobody cares about like keyring and realid cross server stupidity.

What I don't understand is why they keep spending their time on things that hardly affect the game, like removing the key ring and fixing the dancing in combat thing, when there is so much out there that the players are screaming about daily that are just being ignored?

Except that what you described is a pretty good definition for "waste of development time/money".

Mostly because changes like that require skills beyond the maintenance crew supporting WOW. All the talent has been moved onto the new MMO.

This is completely retarded. Why remove something that works and is still useful?

I could care less also. Which means, like you, I care.

I mean they are removing functionality that is now the norm for how games should handle keys - I mean this is the keyring. Which is good. It's not bad. Keyrings are just good. Removing them, not good. I mean.

pretty stupid. obviously not a huge change but just another example of how they are simplifying everything over and over. call me old fashioned but i like things like keys and ammo and different currencies and crap in the game.

They could still have keys but just convert the record that stores what keys you have into a bit mask instead of a separate field for each slot in this "keyring." They could even set up a UI to display the old keyring graphic with the only exception being that you couldn't move keys around in the slots. 
Definitely could have been handled better.

So they remove the keyring, and force us to carry keys around in our packs?
How does that save inventory space?

First basic rule of coding: if it ain't broke, don't fix it
I hate to think of the number of bugs this could introduce, creating a need for more "fixes", and generating "job security"...
...
Are there people at Blizzard that are trying to justify time spent scripting?

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
