I don't consider this "drastic" by any stretch. Siege weapons will likely use the pet control system and have long-range AoE spells; this isn't drastic. Revamping the honor system so it's not a one-dimensional grind independent of player skill is drastic. Cosmetic character changes are simply catching up with other MMOs, it's nothing as bold as, say LoTRO's title system.
A new class doesn't necessarily imply a revamp, but that's just the cynic in me talking.
No doubt we're going to spend months salivating for specifics so we can all carefully and intricately plan what we're going to do over the next few months...
