Why not a shadow/void spec for pally, like priests have with shadow spec?
Serious questions: When will Murlocos Tacos, Hotdogs and Burgers ever be added to the game?

M+ feels like its in a rather undesirable state.
- Rewards are lackluster (Arms Warrior BIS drops from WQ Titanforges or Fathoms)
- Dungeons are more challenging than Legion with a higher density of trash
- Affixes from Legion feel tacked on in BFA, like Sanguine in Waycrest or Explosive in Temple or Underrot.

Are there any plans to shake up M+ as go ahead in 8.1 and beyond? Rewarding a tint of the Mythic Raid set for completing a +15 in time each season sounds like a wonderful band aide to bring back some of the life the scene's been missing.
Is Sylvanas Windrunner being set up as the forefront leading protagonist against the Void? The Forsaken, and for that matter, the Scourge as well, being immune to the effects of the Void, are we going to see Sylvanas--Now a product of the Scourge--, and Bolvar, the current reigning Lich King, eventually teaming up for some possible Sylvanas redemption against the inhabitants and antagonists of the Void?

Also, is the Burning Legion entirely shattered now? I know they have some remaining leaders. Sargeras was recalled to the Pantheon, and Kil'jaeden killed inside of the Twisted Nether, but surely there are those that remain that can lead the 'broken pack' and continue on Sargeras' will. After all, he wasn't even technically leading the Burning Legion for the longest while. The Eredar were.
Mike Morhaime in game NPC?

Why arent the Pandaren playing a more substantial role in Zandalar? With the history already, and everything that happened in MoP, you think they would want to have a presence there, to 'watch on the walls' as it were.

It feels wrong to not be able to use both 1h and 2h weapons as fury. When will you add SMF fury back like it used to be?

Comments on why that matters to me: For other classes, I would be ok with xmog to a weapon type we've been able to use in the past (2h ww monk, 2h frost dk, dw bm monk, 2h enh shaman, etc.), but for warriors part of their fantasy is that they are weapon masters. Fury warriors are berserkers who should not care what type of melee weapon they use whether it is a dagger, a 1h sword, a staff, a 2h mace, or anything else. Now I have to care and that feels wrong for a weaponsmaster that is also a berserker.

Also, it feels wrong to me to use anything except a 2h weapon on my frost dk (or any dk spec really). Can you please allow xmog to a 2h weapon by patch 9.0 at the latest? Yes that is a loaded question because I do not want to take "no" for an answer. It's very important to me to use a 2h weapon on my dk *as frost*. Frost = glacier = slow, hard hits = 2h.

For those specs stuck with 1h dw weapons such as rogues (ideally NOT frost dk, see question directly above), what is your timeline for allowing 1 weapons (esp. swords/maces/axes, not so much daggers) to sheathe on the back? 1h weapons sheathing on the waist (except maybe daggers) bothers me a lot.
For non-AR heritage armor sets, if we have spent a lot of time on our current toons, from level 1 to 120 without a level boost, will we have to re-level ANOTHER toon just to get the heritage armor?

Just seems a bit redundant and exasperating to have to go through the entire leveling process on another toon that I'm surely not going to use after reaching that point of receiving the heritage armor. The Allied races, I can understand, but when heritage armor is released for the worgen, unless it's REALLY amazing, I'm likely not going to spend the extra time to re-level ANOTHER toon from scratch for it...
When will we get PvP Vendors and old honor and conquest currencies again?
Some plan to have a translator in the band search chat. Russian, Korean, French, Spanish, adding abbreviations to the API such as cc, gg, asap, etc.
Do you have any plans to make changes to the Auction House to eliminate the lag? Do you have any plans on updating the Auction House system all together? As it stands it takes me about 15 minutes to find a stack of herbs that I need for consumables and purchase them before raid. (And that's just for a stack, not including any other herbs I may need and the time to make the potions / flasks needed for raiding).
Will we see a "Conquest Points" gear upgrade type of system for BfA, that will allow you to get points for completing raids and mythic+? Possible gear upgrade 2/2 or similar?
Why is Blizzard so stubborn when it comes to actually balancing the classes? What does Blizzard gain from alienating players of certain specs every patch?
We need to know, why do Sira, Delaryn, and all the night elves killed and are brought back join the ranks of their killers to kill their kin with no issue, complaint, or objections?!
Instead of deleting and swapping around all the different talents and traits after legion, wouldn't it have been better to just add a new row of talents to work with, so that it actually is 1 talent every 15 levels?
What are your plans for bringing back a sense of progression for leveling now that we have level scaling?

There are too few talents and abilities spread over too many levels. It also feels bad when your gear gets relatively worse for every level where you don't find an upgrade, with the overall feeling of getting weaker instead of getting stronger.

Also, can zone level requirements be changed so that you can truly do zones in any order within each level bracket? That would help a lot when it comes to trying to keep leveling zones more fresh by doing different leveling paths for each new alt instead of having to follow a generally similar path of leveling zones for every alt.
When will we go back to actually playing towards something instead of endlessly putting coins in a slot machine?
Shadow priest players were expecting a more reworked, less clunky class in 8.1. Instead, it looks like it will be only a tuning pass to some abilities. What happened?
The idea of the Mythic Leaderboard was great in theory. 100 unique kills for both the Horde and Alliance before cross-realm mythic opens is too much. I don't want to get into the negative comments, so I'll just ask, is there any change you'll be opening cross-realm mythic early?
What about the poor injured carnies at Darkmoon Faire? With first aid gone, are they simply doomed to no health care?
