NOW they say this? after doing all that pre-purchase early order etc... advertising?

Yeah, I have three accounts and have upgraded all three to legion, and will probably NOT be able to play WoW now on two of my computers.

There's also no fricken way I'm "up"grading to Windoze 10.

Remember that these are the specs they guarantee they support but it doesn't necessarily mean your older system won't work. My Mac is getting reasonably old now. 2009 I think it was. But it's still running Legion

Well, fingers crossed that my computers can handle it.
One of them I know is more than powerful enough, another will probably on the barest minimum settings, but one is probably borderline, however.

My 5+ yr old computer runs the alpha so I wouldn't panic yet
