"Having a little bit of a valley there before you go to the next peak can be kind of refreshing and get you energized for the next thing. We want people to play all the way through; we want people to be there for 12 weeks, and that’s why we’re having more and more content. But that’s not to say we won’t change in the future."

"There’ll be seasonal play and expansion play. We want to make sure that the people who are playing seasonally and don’t want to play the expansion are fine."

Blizzard wants to make sure that feedback from Vessel of Hatred is able to help inform the second expansion. This has to be taken into account when it comes the release of the second expansion.
