He's right, time to let it go. /cancel
I do agree with many of your points, as do most of my guild. None of us get excited about logging in anymore, all but one have canceled, and we've been playing The Rift beta, and are going to give that a shot when it goes live. Try another mmo maybe?
Or heck, just take a break from mmos for a while, there's lots of other great games and genres out there these days.

The only thing that is stopped me from playing Rift is the fact that my work laptop can barely run WoW at the lowest settings . . . a newer game just isn't happening.
Oh, and I already have to carry three bags and one tool box (about a 100lbs of tools/gear) when I travel for work; A second laptop just isn't happening.

So why doesn't Blizz just make skills and spells change when in PvP arenas and BGs like in Guild Wars?
In Guild Wars for PvE, skills have one set of attributes, and when zoning into PvP areas they change to suite their balance requirements............
So many have asked this since day one that the developers were obviously never interested in that solution.
This should have been done when they were adding in the dual spec. One could have been for PvP and one for PvE. Problem solved...

I also agree that the amount of hotfixes is ridiculous. This isn't professional, but looks like a noob programmer trying random values hoping that one will work.
It does seem like that with the yo-yo some things have been going through.

Arena's are something Blizzard should NEVER balance around. It should be a side game and nothing more. Hell balancing around "normal" PVP and PVE is hard enough without throwing another dynamic into the mix.
Well they went at it all wrong instead of nerfing PVE for the sake of PVP they should have either disabled certain spells/skills upon entering a BG or arena or auto-replaced them with modified for PVP versions like some other games do.

They design their own problems so they'll all still have jobs trying to fix them until they retire.
It's like the IT dept at my bank rolling out the buggiest banking software. When I asked the dude why they released it when it was so buggy, he jokingly said, "So I can still have a job trying to fix it."

This was one place where Sony figured out what Blizzard never did - it's just better to focus on one of PvE or PvP. You can include the other for giggles, but just worry about the mechanics for one and let the other just be a sidegame.
I know for myself I have no real interest in games that try to do both now.

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.

I totally agree. This is exactly what I want. I bought Rift and am going to try it out but it is still gonna be alot of the same. They are going to try, unsuccessfully, to cater to both PVP and PVE crowds. And fail.
I can't wait for some developer to come along and offer a PVE only game with side game of PVP but 95% focus on the PVE. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Judging the bugs I´ve seen throughout the course of WoW, I´d not be surprised if certain bugs were intentionally implemented.
If Blizzard is training Tech interns, hmm.

A) Remove Arenas from the game, let those who will cancel as a result do so.
I realize that's might be viewed as a little harsh, so if you don't like that idea then:
B) Alternatively, remove arenas from the standard game, offer "arenas only" servers with rulesets only for that and classes balanced only for that. Leave class balance alone on the non-arena servers or at least don't factor arenas into class balance on the non-arena servers.
This is not difficult to do folks.
In case my second paragraph isn't clear: it would mean that the arena devs can hotfix and nerf/buff to their hearts' content on the arena servers, only considering their vision of arena balance. On the non-arena servers, classes are nerfed/buffed/balanced around PvE and BG performance ONLY. Yes that would mean that a class like a warrior might be completely different on the non-arena server from the version of it on the arena server. Who cares?
Oh and if e-peening is that important to people, let them have their arena titles be account bound so that when they march their arena class up to Gladiator on the arena server and then log onto their non-arena server characters they can still display their acumen at pillar humping.
Allow good old fashioned BG honor based PvP gear rewards on the non-arena servers, let the arena server people have a standard set of entry level arena gear and let them earn better arena gear through arena points.
Boom! Done. Problem solved. Blizzard should hire me.
