Will Stormwind ever be repaired?

Today i created a Human character to look at New Stormwind...
And boy...
It looks AMAZING!
Old Stormwind looked pretty cool, but i throught the wall textures were horrible.
New Stormwind looks so cool, the Fountains, the Lake, the amazing textures... The Dwarven District in Old Stormwind was really bland, i hated it. Now it's my favourite part of the town, with that awesome red marble.
Stormwind Keep is breathtaking...
I love New Stormwind so much that i might return playing Alliance.
By the way, i was wondering, if Stormwind will ever get repaired... maybe in a next patch or something
While the Red, burning marks on the towers (from Deathwing) look cool (and i wouldn't mind them staying), it a shame to waste the City Portion of the Park...
I think they should either rebuild the Park, or EVEN better...
Make a Badass Worgen District, with Gilnean Architecture (especially since it looks like we won't get Gilneas back anytime soon) and tons of Worgen NPCs.
It would make sense, since Greymane is on Stormwind, and not on Darnassus...

In the far off future, when it no longer matters.

If they ever do it, they'll do it like Orgrimmar was "rebuilt." Yes, Orgrimmar went from old to new overnight for players, but in-game, it was supposed to have been built over the course of the three to five years (?) that have spanned since the launch of Classic. Rebuilding a city takes a lot of work, especially when even the ground is missing.

I'm still waiting for the horde to get fulling outfitted zeppelins to NR. They still look like crap.

What I thought was kinda funny is instead of repairing the towers in the trade district and rebuilding the park, Varian saw it fit to completely redo his keep and build a less than modest statue of himself.
And over haul the mass graveyard for all those who perished during the previous wars, opened up the area behind the Dwarf district and the Cathedral, moved things around in Old Town as well.

Except that both of those happened in the immediate past (like, a couple months), not to mention that the Towers
are
being repaired, whereas the Keep and Old Town, etc, have been going on for about 4 years.
Use your brain.

I think that the hole in Stormwind adds some character to the place. I hope that it doesn't get repaired.

Then when are they going to rebuild silvermoon, i mean 1/2 the city is gone and it is super huge as it is. If they rebuilt silvermoon, it should then be given something like portals so it would actually be used then.

I imagine they'll build around the destroyed park, as opposed to try and restore it. Terraforming even now takes a lot of time and effort, and the Kirin Tor nor Earthen Ring aren't terribly intent on using their magics for what amounts to a cosmetic repair (remember, everything that was in there has been moved to other locations) when there's a much, much, (much!) larger problem that requires their full attention. Building around the former park is doable and viable however. Not sure how they'll do it with a part of the Twilight Highlands access quest chain being there though...

The old keep was a giant building for the nobles and really didn't get much use apart from certain quests and events, all of which are gone now. The new Keep is much more efficient and is open access, and serves a purpose for anyone in the city. It's no longer a place for nobles only and those looking to go to battlegrounds.
As for the statue, I would love the proof that says Wrynn commissioned the statue himself. Don't forget his past experiences and the fact that he was one of the main leaders in the forces that fought in Northrend, any of which would be worthy of having a statue made in his honor. What's to say the people didn't build it in his honor like the ones done in the Valley of Heroes?

Also, they NEED to repair Danath Trollbane Statue... It just feels... weird.

And they are trying to, or have you not walked down to where the statue has fallen and listened to the conversation between the humans and the dwarf masons?

Yeah, but...
1.- That is a common thing for kings and honorable people to do. Tirion did that for himself in the Western Plaguelands. They also did that for Uther. Twice. Besides, if you want to see modest statues, go see what Kael did in Silvermoon (I don't know why I get the feeling that it is a common thing to do for Blood Elves, but Kael was ridiculously nuts by doing that! Best way to remodel Silvermoon is simply removing his statues once and for all.)
2.- So much cracked stone would be useless, so it makes sense that they recycle some of it by making a statue.
3.- Not only they remade a good part of the city, but they also built a lot of stuff around the planet, including the damn bridge in Lakeshire (I mean, come on!). The costs of making a statue of someone cannot be compared to carrying tons of stone, bricks, wood, animals, armor, logistics and people to one place, and we have seen that the Alliance (as well as the Horde, of course) have done that in a lot of places. It is like eating one candy out of a whole 5kg bag of Halloween candies.
On topic, I thing they will adapt to what is available, but I don't think we will see the Park as it was before at all. Maybe they will make another memorial to those who fell to Deathwing's rise, I don't know. But the Park is gone forever. The towers, the statue of Trollbane and the clock, yeah, they can and they will be rebuilt at some point, perhaps after we defeat Deathwing to make sure he will not do that again.
IMPORTANT EDIT: From the SW map, the statue kinda looks like Mickey Mouse.

I doubt anyone will want to repair SW after the whole incident with Vancleef and the city's masons.
Well, once the black dragonflight is defeated, we won't have that problem. Since it was them that started the feud in the first place.
Or they just might use dwarves.

Council of Nobles and Prestor are long gone.
