Sad to see it but yea it seems to be back. Get ready for a host of people, new or old, to get all worked up about how there is not enough to do, and how they have such amazing ideas (that apparently no-one ever thought about before) and that a new area to cap out in a week is right around the corner, since they brought it to the developer's attention.
Even worse in my humble opinion is how people are not only asking for a new area already, but how they immediately want it to be an elite dungeon.
Think a moment: the two current elite areas are 20 levels apart. Each has amazing gear and insane bosses/mobs for that level range to try fighting. If we make it as common-place as every expansion, it will lose its novelty as an elite area, and just become a "harder" area. not to mention the insane overflow of "elite items"...
also, about the items... the amount of crap people spewed about how the economy was ruined and their characters where worthless after the introduction of hate/shadow/death is just that. If the elite frozen nightmares had been released with its items around lv30, or even lv35, then we would have had the exact same response. After seeing what happens, i wouldn't be surprised if the devs leave out elite dungeons until we are safely out of their range, so that our nice little builds are not under threat.
As for new content... face it, they save top level areas for expansions, expect more lower level enhancements. maybe a lv10 elite area, considering the 20 level difference...
