My expectations may have been a bit too much but I was disappointed that there was no starting areas for Vulpera and Mechnognome. I mean they could have done something like Goblin, which is such a funny/great starting area from 1-20…could they have put in a little effort? Just my two cents.
No allied race has a starting area though. You get a breadcrumb quest to go to SW/Org and then you’re told to quest at whatever level appropriate zone you want.
Why would you expect one for Mechagnomes or Vulpera?
Maybe … I think every AR in the game need more Lore , specific Zone and Capital … 
Let’s be honest. They’re just stalling with whatever content they can until Shadowlands.
I guess because it would have been a “gift” or something fun that would last…I literally played the goblin starting area so many times…I guess something to just be “enjoyable”. I understand your point about the other allied races…but Vulpera is like totally new…
Yes. Considering the precedent, I don’t even know why you expected this.
It comes down to M+, as usual, for me. Mostly the other content is generally less important and often runs out of juice in a little bit.
That being said (trademark Ion), I did feel the “new zones” of this patch are pretty weak, the dailies are horribly low on rewards (got 23g for doing one… I mean that’s ridiculous), there should be portals to ALL new content zones in the portal room, not being able to help guildies to do horrific visions is beyond ridiculous - attacking the fundamental social construct of the game itself, and the vessel cost is extreme with a heavy beat stick on failing for any reason.
All in all, 8.3 is off to a terrible start. Only M+ can save it.
People: We want Tinker!
Blizzard: Here, have a mechagnome.
Back to classic and Higgins’ Moon with you and your disappointments Mudder, or its the box for you.
