I'm not really feeling much of a motivation to play my lock in Wrath of the Lich King either. It's not that we're not getting any attention (I wouldn't want them to add too much or change the class too much), it's that we're going to be nerfed to hell or reduced to a support class. Blizzard said it themselves, they only want warlocks to come close to mages if they sacrifice all utility and use a pet. We'll be the new mages, only being taken to the raid for our shiny new demo debuff and maybe blood pact/felhunter buff while largely being excluded because we won't be competitive when it comes to damage.

If this ends up being the case, quitting or rerolling will be the way to go. Personally I'm leaning towards the former as I'd like to keep playing. But really, what's the point in playing a DPS class if you can't really do any real DPS? I guess Blizzard are just tired of hearing mages cry about us taking raid spots over them. We do better DPS, we have better AoE, we benefit the raid more, while they're just there to make food/water and decurse on Kalecgos (we don't even need them for int buff with the buff on the isle now).

Also not really looking forward to essentially starting from scratch. I absolutely despise levelling, it's about as fun as smashing your head against a wall repeatedly. Building a new UI from scratch when all my mods break also doesn't really appeal to me, nor does having to experiment with new builds (though this will be more of an issue with the prepatch, not the expansion itself as I've already got most of the potentially viable lvl80 builds written down while the prepatch builds will basicly have to be thought up on the spot), having to sort out glyphs and all the crap. Just makes me feel like I can't be bothered.

I'm happy to wipe night after night week after week on something, I'm happy to spend every night farming consumables, I'm happy to spend all day grinding rep, but starting from what is essentially scratch, figuring out new things and levelling again.. I honestly just don't feel motivated to even bother. Everyone else will be in the same boat so it won't be so bad but I really just can't be bothered.
