Fact 1:. People are going to be angry, no matter when they release prepatch.
Fact 2: the sooner they make people angry, the sooner they can calm down for SL launch.
Fact 3: people have been downright cancerous toward devs for months now. Normal humans would get deep satisfaction out of trolling people that have abused them for so long.
Conclusion:. Prepatch tomorrow, and lots of super blasted rage posting in GD tomorrow. No matter when release is, we are going to see some popcorn posts. The one I’m looking forward to: " I was only X gold from longboi, how could you do this to me blizzard!"

Yeah I would say years not months.
This tells me pre-patch ( part one ) is Tuesday Sept 22nd
The gates will soon close on Battle for Azeroth PvP Season 4 with the release of the Shadowlands pre-expansion patch. Don’t worry though, you’ll still be able to take part in competitive PvP in a special post-season, which will end with the launch of the expansion. The new Shadowlands Season 1 will then go live shortly after the launch of Shadowlands.
Having that special post season tells me the lvl squish will be Implimented before the official season ends .

It’s become systemic since preach started using his platform to shill for changes that cater to his deep seated desire to raid log.

Has there been any confirmation on if the Timewalking Campaign scaling will account for minor patch content? Or is it designed to get you to level 50 by the time you finish the initial questing zones?
It’d be nice to have the former for expansions like Legion, whose full story isn’t told until you’ve finished the invasion of Argus.
Bold of you to assume blizz cares about pvp

Yeah but when’s it coming tho.
PvP community: “blizzard hates us, and won’t fix any of these issues. We have been forgotten!”
Also PvP community: “blizzard will make special accomodations for us, and not ignore us”

Just end of the main content, not any patches.
Alright, so I’m always willing to admit when I’m wrong, and I did some digging into the launch and pre-patch of BFA from Legion, and here’s what I found:
They warned PVPers about the end of season without giving a prepatch date. The date for the prepatch was not known at this point, per digging into Wowhead news archives (for anyone interested it is: www. wowhead. com/news=285381/legion-pvp-season-7-ending-soon-and-post-season-details [remove spaces by the periods]).
This announcement was on a Thursday, July 5th 2018, and the prepatch dropped on July 17th. 12 days warning, without a true date given in the Blue post.
They gave a full reset warning (which back then would’ve been the following Tuesday, July 10th), so it very well could be that the prepatch drops on 9/29.
I rescind my earlier skepticism.
This may be the closest we get to a “two-week notice.”
EDIT: Clarity

I suspect that the pre-patch content will be next week at the earliest. Announcing a deadline on certain achievements one day before they’re gone seems a bit too quick (I know the reminder has been out for a while now, but it still feels to early; especially considering the rumored Maw video that people are hoping will be revealed this week).

next week was confirmed by Preach
also other Streamers leaked stuff before
Towliee is notorious for leaking
he leaked 8.3 before the devs did the surprise announcement and a few other times.
Even if preach knows he wouldn’t be allowed to say, he’d be allowed to SPECULATE though.
Unless you’re talking about that stupid facial expression thing
It’s ridiculous.
People know when the expansion itself is launching, and anyone with any sense would look at that date and plan accordingly.
“Oh I’ll just leave it until what may or may not be the last week or two before.”
Anyone serious about getting achievements and goals completed would’ve done so already.
Oh and they gave a warning a week or so ago with that post about what’s going away. I mean how much hand holding do players need?

Unless there’s actually proof and a source, I don’t believe any content creator.
