You didn't criticize the fact there are no unarmed weapons to a unarmed class

I'm mad now

I don't even want to think about that... I was just so pissed off at the fact that they're throwing weapons at you every which way... YOU SHOULD SAY THAT!

I think the stance mechanic has been cheapened up enough with DK presences, no need to further dilute it.

What, you never once complained about Druid forms or Warrior stances?

Either they change the core abilities or stances WILL be diluted (you'll only ever have access to one stance).

Bump the post so this will get noticed!

I'm more pissed that there isn't a Red Crane stance.

MY IMMERSION!

My point is that DK presences and warrior stances are considerably similar (while druid forms are way more complex and hunter aspects are way more simple, so neither count) and what ever the case adding what you want would further cheapen warriors.

If I am following you right, currently the rule is that each spec of monk has one stance in which it operates. This imo is different enough from warrs and co. to feel at least somewhat fresh.

And if I could I would bump your thread even if I disagree, sadly I no longer play WoW.

You do realize that having a stance mechanic for any class should at least require player interaction? Currently, Monks cannot choose any other stance as they only have one. That means the stance mechanic for monks is completely useless since it is equivalent to a specialization-specific passive ability that strengthens their roles (because of the complete lack of player interaction with it); instead of putting a non-interactive button on player's action bars, Blizzard should either follow their non-interactive route and convert stances into a passive ability for each specialization, or make stances so that they are more versatile and can be swapped to fulfill multiple roles in the way Warriors and Druids can.

There is no way that you would think that players should have a button that serves absolutely no use of having on their bars (since it is automatically turned on for you and cannot be toggled off -- thus containing no interaction); it is akin to a passive ability.

I love fucking steak.

Wait, what?

Again I am talking from the dark here, but if the monk stances are very powerful or meaningful then perhaps Blizzard thinks that they need to be seen as buffs by players of other classes. Or simply as a tool to differentiate between differently specced monks, because apparently Blizzard wants it so.

Though if you ask me, I would say those stances could be worked over so that they are very beneficial to the monk, except in a few rare cases in which the monk should, and needs to be able to, toggle the presence off.

You can't toggle off the stance; it's literally like a buff that you cannot interact with.
