that basically like saying Wikipedia said they would. wowhead is basically just a series of articles written by people who love the game. they can easily be wrong.

They do this a lot because they launched a horrible race/class and want to punish those players that called them out on their dumbassery.
Just fix hiding weapon, at this point itâs all I ask for, surely some intern can do that.

That depends on interpretation. Wowhead never expressly stated that they would get a 3rd spec in 10.1. They stated there was evidence of a 3rd spec in 10.1. Which is factually correct. There IS evidence of a 3rd spec in 10.1, there just isnât actually a 3rd spec in 10.1.
That being said, I donât think Wowhead ever said it wouldnât be in 10.1 even if a 3rd spec is true, so while they never actually said anything wrong and never spread any misinformation, they also left it vague and open enough that some hopefuls could interpret it as a 3rd spec in 10.1 confirmed.
Of course, it shouldnât have needed to be said anyway. Common sense should dictate that something as big as an entirely new spec would be something very difficult to keep hidden from dataminers, AND would be something that needed proper testing so would have been announced and put on the PTR very early. Anyone that still believed it had a chance for this patch so close to the patch release date is seriously delusional.

You know that in development, the engineers themselves are never directly responsible for the overarching decisions made in terms of feature/release priority, right? Like, Bob the Developer and his cohorts arenât deciding to make cloak transmogs a priority this week. Thatâs not how dev works at all.

Huh.
What a waste of an allied race.
âThereâs no 3rd spec for Evoker in Patch 10.1. Anything is possible in the future.â
But OP, you really thought they would introduce a new âsurpriseâ spec without any kind of testing just before a new season is released? 
To me, it feels like is about right not being on 10.1, but the âpossible futureâ being 10.1.7, because it would give enough time for it to be PTR tested and live tested and adjusted accordingly for the next season.
It also seems that this is heavily hinted by a ânew unlocked powerâ story wise. It seems proper from what we saw in the PTR so far for it to be the aftermath of the patchâs storyline.

They got rid of all their QA soâŠyes.
Not quite because Wikipedia is edited by anyone.
Uh no. I never at any point said I thought they would release a new spec. Nice try. Iâm simply posting that Ion said there wouldnât be one.

People need to remember he is a lawyer and often uses lawyer speak to avoid things he doesnât want to give away. He will use unnecessary specifics and vagaries to manipulate perceptions. Go watch it. Pay close attention to what he does NOT say and would be far easier which is just âno.â

He gave such a cop-out reason for it too. There is not a single piece of Dracthyr anatomy they have not dealt with in other ways on other races already. The only one that might remotely provide an obstacle from a âhow do we morph the armor around thisâ point of view is the wings because they arenât centered like Forsaken spines are, but I donât think most players would care if they justâŠclipped through the back of the armor. There are far worse clipping issues in the game that go completely untouched.
Beyond that itâs just a matter of hiding helmets and shoes, then actually making morphs for the armor for the rest of the body. Thatâs not a technical limitation, thatâs just not wanting to allocate time to doing it. What a waste of a new race.
Edit: Even better, I just checked and their wings already clip through their existing options. There is nothing standing in their way to making this happen other than their own stubbornness.

Nah, youâre right. They usually PTR test them, gather feedback, then ignore everything and launch it as is.
RIP Guardian druids 10.0.5.

That doesnât mean there will be a 3rd spec ever. He just is a manipulative person with his lawyer speak and doesnât always commit to an answer.

Not exactly surprised. Throwing a whole new spec in seemed a bit much to hope for
