On Warlocks

An old plague in a new form has infested the WoW-EU official forums.

Whine. We all know it. This months whine subject is Warlocks.
Those reading the forums know what I mean, for those who don't; people whine about Warlocks being powerfull, too powerfull. So people shout "NREF!!!" or make cool threads about how they are quitting the game. Some are going to reroll a BE lock, so those will infest our nice, quiet Orgrimmar soon as well. I wonder what the effect will be if this happens.

First of all, we'll be seeing all the Warlocks level. Most will level at a normal pace, do instances etc. I think those will have big troubles finding a group, as there will be to much locks around. 2 locks in every group; drama; all in your PC!

Next; a load of Warlocks will be PvPing, this is where they dominate as off now. But, there will be a shitload of morons playing locks, meaning a lot of warlocks dying in a matter of seconds. Also, because of the big load of Warlocks, a lot won't get in a raiding guild. And what do people do when rejected? Create their own. Those will fail and drag ~30 other players down to the start again.

After this, the warlocks will be crying; they suck at PvP, won't be wanted for groups and so on. This will lead to the next part; whine threads about how Warlocks should be buffed and how gimped they are. A lot of newbies wont be rolling Warlocks. In some PvP threads, we'll see a class that is "better". And that will be the next class to fall victim to this cycle. We've had rogues, now it's the warlocks' turn. Who will be next?
