When you look on real Tv you see trailers of Movies all the time..Trailers are made to get the people excited and to get a fan base of the movie before the full version is released to get a better and bigger audience..
You say there is nothing new? Well unlike movies in real life there is only SO much you can do with movies Story-line movies are another thing. But class pvp movies are the same..Skill you say? there is only SO much you can do with skill you can play your class to your full advantage but there is only so much you can do with skill.... your not Invincible
Intro's and trailers are on the hot list probaly because alot of people enjoy watching them..
A lot of reason why a lot of people make trailors is because well there excited some of the GREAT movies on this site took forever to make months and months.. and with all that work they want to show there work because THEY are excited about there movie and want to show a *Teaser* of there movie to get people interested in the movie it does make a diffrence..

I see your point. But it's not like WoW movies take a year and a half before they are released, like "real life movies".
And if it is a matter of creating a fan base before a video's release, then where does the border between "teasers" and commercials go? I believe most visitors of the movie site know what they are looking for - such as checking out for new druid pvp videos, for example. And if they aren't looking for something in particular, then the front page with the 4 newest releases should be able to bring the casual visitor up to date. Now, do you think that a teaser of 2-3 minutes or less, should take up a spot for the full release videos that the maker has been looking forward to seeing on the front page? "Yes!! my 35 minute video is on the front page! Oh wait, it just got pushed out by a 45 second teaser of a gnome warlock killing a troll warrior, followed by a
Coming soon...."
I'm not saying that certain videos should be favorized above others because of their content, but teasers are just getting too frequent, and are
often quite pointless. And it's not like people will create fan clubs and forum topics about the movies that they are looking forward to, i have yet to see that happen.
I understand what you think of teasers, but i think you should take a closer look at the teasers/previews/etc that i linked. The public opinion on them does not seem positive at all.
Nor am i saying that ALL movies should contain something new AND a display of skill - but at least one of them. The teasers/previews usually show neither, they are just pointless, short videoes that the maker released for no good reason (take
http://warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=33937 as an example).
