You already have to gem and enchant every single new epic you aquire (usually spending copious amounts of gold in the process), and with reforging becoming available your going to have to reforge every epic as well (with the rare exception that the item already has the perfect balance of stats). http://bit.ly/fOeXxP

You still can just take the stats on the item; you only need to worry about Reforging if you care about getting the absolute maximum out of your gear. If you don't care that much, don't do it and make do with what you're given. If you do care, you should be pleased that you have this new tool to allow you to achieve the maximum.

The only thing that does worrie me about the new Guild talent system and the points / guild cash players earn for their guilds. as it was stated at Blizzcon there would be some new mounts with Guild bardin on them which can be brought this way however they said it would be upto the guilds Gm to allow players to use the Guild cash to buy them Id like to see this option avilable to all members of the guild not just the Guild master so if players would like to retain a small amount of the guildcash they earn towards this they can.
