Well, shouldn't 3.0 be on PTR first before coming down to your client? It might be just some chunk of content, not the entire 3.0.
Do you mean 3.0 on PTR in a few days?

No. They're still adjusting talent trees and stamping out bugs. A few more weeks, at least.

i promise you
the biggest thing will be the new talent trees, continuing to prep for wotlk
I base my opinion on:
Blue posts in the Paladin beta forum indicating that their talent trees are going to be significantly changed.
The fact that there are still major bugs being worked out on dps classes - rogue poisons, to name one example.
The fact that basically no fine-tuning has been done on abilities.
The fact that all of these would require time on the PTR before going live.
If I were to take a guess, they're likely sending over the necessary graphics changes for things such as the new Zeppelin towers, Stormwind Harbor, and all the other fun little things that will affect even people who don't buy the expansion. Best to have those things well out of the way in advance, because there's going to be huge demand on the servers when 3.0 goes live.

The plural of anecdote is not data.
It isn't ad hominem, I'm just insulting you.

When your promise gets broken*, I expect a cookie.
*Note that's "when", not "if". So I'll have a glass of milk waiting.

The Blizzard post on the next patch:
The next major content patch is coming, and it's big. In order to smooth the way, we will shortly enable background downloading of
most of the data for this patch.
People who use the Launcher and have background downloading enabled will automatically start getting the data. The Downloader downloads faster in general now, so you may want to adjust your background download settings. You can adjust these settings in the Laucher, by visiting the Options page. If you want the fastest possible download, check the "Don't throttle background download". However, note that this can affect the performance of other programs running at the same time.
This can be taken a couple of ways:
They're sending us all of the graphics and background stuff that we'll be needing ahead of time.
They're absolutely thrilled with a current build at the Blizzard offices and are going to be releasing the 3.0 patch shortly
Given the bolded section, I strongly suspect my initial impression was correct and its the first. There's data that still isn't finished - i.e. some talent trees and a bit of tweaking. But it is a good sign that 3.0 isn't too far down the line.

Agreed with Dunsinane. I too believe there is much more tweaking that needs to be done to certain classes and the fact that some spells aren't even working properly in the beta right now.
I'm looking forward to the 3.0 PTR, kinda*. It will be mass hysteria and confusion about why isn't the download working, im getting this, this, and this. /Sigh, i dont think i could ever handle having to deal with that stuff.
*i say kinda cause im in the beta and ill be testing this stuff anyway. But i also get to contribute dataz! 1.88 gb is rough though :/.
