Pandaria is not new - here is a Blizz post from 2004.

Also, there was a quest in the Barrens called 'Chen's Empty Keg' which was about putting together one of his famous brews. The Pandaren have always been a part of WoW lore.

Yes, we all know by now that pandas have been a part of warcraft lore.  That does not change the fact that it's mind-boggingly stupid.

Your argument is mind-boggingly subjective. You could argue any particular part of the lore was stupid, and we could still disagree. I think the Pandaren fit the whimsical Warcraft lore perfectly. If we were discussing Diablo 3, I'd of course be on the same lines as you.

The people that still enjoy the game will probably enjoy the new content, I stop in from time to time and still have come back when expansions hit just to barrel through the new content.
