BlizzCon 2018 Q&A Submission Thread

The half hill farm was something some of us put a lot of effort into. Grinding to get all the little things to be placed in it and unlocking other items. It's a little cozy and snug place but we are unable to show it off. Any chance we can get the option to be able to invite people to come see it?
Will there be Oceanic server options in Classic Wow?
Will Gnomes ever have a capital city, that is not destroyed? We are engineers after all (aka, we fix things).
Any plans on improving the feel of the current world-pvp scene? With the end of legion scenarios building the plot to put Alliance and Horde against one another again, I really thought we were going to be going after each other. It feels like the emphasis is more on trying to get a few achievements and killing battle front NPC's repeatedly to gear up alts. As it is now, there just isn't anything making me want to go out and kill the other guy.
Why not allow certain dungeons to be player housing? There could be something like "House Mode" where you wiped out everything, did some "house cleaning" and can set up a home in a dungeon lol.
Will we see more of AU Draenor/The Lightbound in the future? We never saw the ultimate fate of Grom, and we know other Mag'har are still there like Draka. Will we ever have a chance to return and fight for their freedom or see them again?
How do you guys measure fun?

We are going on 3 expansions worth of follower missions and our 2nd expansion worth of world quests and endless ap grinds. Pretty much no one I play with would consider any of these activities "fun", yet these systems don't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Just because we suffer through this content on a daily basis doesn't mean we enjoy it.
Will we ever get a chance to get the Warlord's Deathwheel again?
Can "auras" be added to the game? Like a transmog kind of thing. For example, when mistweaver monks use Thunder Focus Tea. That's a really cool lightning aura. Or even weapon enchants like the snowflakes/mist.
When are you bringing back 2h frost? I have no desire to play the class right now without being able to use shadowmourne in timewalking
Please explain the philosophy behind BFA's simplified rotations? I figured Azerite traits were meant to fill in the large gaps, but even the new 8.1 traits are not enough.

If a class is able to equip certain weapons, they should be able to use them regardless of spec. That's what allows players to have fun with how THEY want to play their class. We don't want to be TOLD how we should PLAY our class.
Why did you so drastically change M+ in BFA?
Legion followed a very straightforward design. M+ was a 'timed dungeon' that scaled with challenging, but manageable weekly affixes.

In BFA, M+ plays like 'timed dungeon with raid mechanics'. The dungeons are exhausting and considerably less fun. For example, many trash packs & abilities cannot be interrupted or stunned and simply force the players to deal with them, rather than attempt to avoid them. This is not fun at all.
We saw night elf paladins show up in the paladin order hall. Any chance we can get them as a class for night elfs?
Can you please not waste time answering questions everyone knows the answer, unless they change?

Goblin/Worgen updates: not planned or low priority
High Elves: play horde
PvP vendor: "we", wow devs, don't want to do it.
Regarding classic. I have 2

1. While many of us understand the demo is not a finished product. We would still like some clarifications on whether certain things are being planned or not. Such as the state of honor on release, progressive itemization with raid time gating, and wall jumping.

2. Is right-click reporting being planned to be introduced to classic? this was not a feature found in vanilla and is something that would have different impacts on the social feel of the game unlike retail today. What are your plans with right-click reporting and classic?
Hello! I have quite a few questions to ask...don't know where to start, but if there's a priority, in which the "question" in questioning are....

1.) When will Warlocks get their own Casting Idle Animation, like the one shown in the Dressing Room, on the wowhead site?

2.) When will we be seeing new hairstyles in the barbershops, across ALL races? Yes, including Allied Races! It would be awesome if some of the Void Elf hairstyles were shared with Blood Elves, and quite possibly Humans, but without the tendrils of course.

3.) Is there any chance you'd add visuals like Librams for Paladins, re-implementing the Totem Bar for Shaman Totems, Quivers/Ammo-belts for Hunters?

4.) Do you intend on adding talents for characters between levels 100-120, as well as possibly new spells that can be learned?
Will the timers on the worgen sniffing, and cat/bear druid growling ever be adjusted?

It is way too often, it seems like the timer wants the player to sniff/growl immediately after going idle for 5 seconds and then every 10-15 seconds afterwards.

Could you please make these happen perhaps once every 30 seconds instead?
What is the design philosophy behind Titanforging? Currently the system FEELS punishing to me when I receive an item and it does not Titanforge. This kills my excitement for receiving loot, and having an item Titanforge doesn't make me feel any better or worse.
Have we seen the last of Gorak Tul?
