Because as I said, the plans for these things are not "set in stone" until they actually launch it. If we know that they post these updates on the forums to reach their customers, and we know that we are in a change process due to the expansion coming out, it is our responsibility to look at the information that they provide. It is a lot of information, and they are usually many builds ahead of what they have on beta and are able to talk about, in order to test even larger ideas that may become commonplace but get removed and we never know about it.
An example: Up until a week ago, Blizz said that to use Flying Mounts in Northrend that you would have to do a quest at 77. It was a quest, at 77, and you'd earn money from it. They had this "set in stone" for a while now. The quest has been done, applauded, etc. A week ago they decided to make it a purchase at 77 for 1000g, to help money sink all the extra money out there. No explaination as to why, and I'm kinda pissed, but that's how it goes. The quest is still there, but it just won't give that reward.
