I was reading this article this morning and came across a reference to this "big" feature that is supposedly coming in 5.4.
I haven't kept up as much on things lately... have I missed something? Do we have any clue or hint of what this big feature will be?

Interesting. It seems like the truly major game-changing features are packaged with the retail expansions in order to help sales.
So... what's something "big" that's not worthy of being included with an expansion release? My first thought is the Dance Studio.

Tri-spec? (That's my hope at least)

Pandas from different factions will be able to talk to each other.

Will never happen.

My hope is Cross-faction Real ID grouping.
I know the chances of that ever happening are very slim, but a man can dream.

Multiclassing.
In my dreams. *sigh*

They said initially that it would something players can keep themselves busy with between 5.4 and the next expansion. Some of the speculations above don't fit that bill.
A lot of people on MMO-Champ seem to believe it may be down-leveling for old raids and/or all raids available on the Raid Finder. I personally think that is the most likely, but I'd really wish for something more like open-world scenarios. 5.3 has me thinking it's possible, especially when they said the Barrens stuff is an "experiment". That has me thinking they got more ideas in store in that department.

That somewhat implies that 5.4 will be the last major
planned
content patch for obvious reasons.

Here's my (tongue firmly in cheek) prediction:
The Great Squish! Levels 1-60 become 1-30 and we no longer have to fear hitting the 100 wall in the near future!

Blizzard's proven to me on multiple occasions that nothing's really off the table.
If you told someone during BC that we'd have faction changing within the next expansion, you would've been ridiculed out of chat for having that insane notion.

I know, same thing if you had said in vanilla that they'd ever add a neutral race that could join either side, people would had laughed at you like you're crazy or something. Or that you'd be able to add people from the opposite faction to your friend list.
This is why I didn't said it was impossible. Nothing is impossible. Improbable? yes. Unlikely? yes. Impossible? nope.
It "could" happen, and I keep holding out hope that one day, it does.

Just to correct you.. GC never said it was a ´big´ feature. In fact, he said that when most players find out what it is, their response will be ´meh´.. He said it is something he personally is looking forward to, but not a game-changer like LFD or LFR.
They gave other hints, which pretty much proved that it is the ability to down-grade our character level and ilvl to do old raids and dungeons. The only interesting part to determine is if they include it as part of an LFR system, or if you will have to form premade groups to do it.
But again, he went out of his way to say it was not a big feature, and to say a lot of players wouldn´t have much of a reaction. The only reason it became a ´big´ feature is because he didn´t tell us what it was and it was something fun to speculate about.
But like typical, Blizzard haters will use it as an opporunity to trash the game. ´omg, you went on and on about this feature, and all it is is rehashed raids´...

Because it lets friends run stuff together, without having to change factions.

Which totally goes against the point of having different factions.
I'm hoping it's something like account wide reputations so we don't have to grind over and over on our alts.
