“Got in touch with my ex-flatmate, whose sister works as a GM for Blizzard, to see what the internal buzz on this was. Apparently, at the moment the employees are largely as pissed as the players, and she stated that despite attempts to keep it hushed, it has become known that the big creative players within Blizzard are pretty much as unhappy about this as we are. Everybody has been told they are not free to comment on this situation outside of specially prepared statements.
It's still going ahead, however (and here's where in-house rumours and hearsay really start coming into play): from what they've picked up, the Blizzard leads have been told in no uncertain terms that the non-gameplay-related direction of the game is working to a different blueprint now. GC and company are free to play with shiny new talent trees all they like, for example, but for the first time the decisions regarding Battle.net implementation, Real ID, and plans for the general acquisition of new players for the business are no longer in Blizzard's own hands, and that's not going down too well.”
Pretty much every site out there is erupting with concern for this change. The thread on the Battle.net community board especially, and the WorldOfWarcraft thread has reached well over 2000 pages. Even the ladies are a little unsettled. Things like the IRL CS shank are sure to reoccur -- just think of all the angsty 13-year-olds on D2. Shit's whack.
Hopefully with the huge negative response from the player-base, Blizz will rethink this (as they already said they would if this happened).
