I cringe a bit seeing this modded 0, troll. Too bad my modpoints just expired.
I realize the link no longer makes any mention of a new class and a level 70 vs level 75 level increase. But, this morning, before this story was posted to slashdot, this exact link did claim the level cap would be raised to 75 and that there would be a new class (and at that time, there was no mention of a new profession). It has been changed since this morning, which should give you an idea of how much stock to put in this sort of information.
The parents' points are insightful and correct especially with regard to raising the level cap. I think this is very unlikely, and all the blue posts on the topic on the WoW forums corroborate - everything in the game is balanced around 51 talent points in a very, very intricate way, and you CANNOT raise the level cap beyond 60 without rebalancing every class at once. Given how slow they have been working on their current class revamps, it is insane to think they would do that.
