Any future plans for class balance changes for the Tanks in General ?
For me specifically, I am interested in hearing about Guardian and Vengeance Tank changes.

Are there any plans to restructure leveling zone unlocking? I would like to be able explore places like Pandaria earlier on a new Panda alt, or continue to level in Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms passed level 60. Would a level squish be a way to get around this issue?

Have Blizzard fired the people who made the decision put everything on the GCD? Since launch we have seen you take more and more things off the GCD that the player base had screamed about since Alpha. So you clearly are agreeing with the players and not the developers who made that decision who have clearly never played this game. Just want to be reassure the people who made the GCD changes are no longer making any key decision going forward.

First I want to thank you for the LFG/LFR system. As someone with social anxiety disorder it has greatly increased my enjoyment of WoW. Second would it be possible to not lock story content behind completion of a raid? For example, continuing the War Campaign requiring killing Jaina in the Battle of Dazar’alor raid. I have used LFR in the past but sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me and I find it extremely hard to do group content. Like the other night I joined and unjoined LFR for wing 3 about 6 or 7 times because I would start to panic. I eventually gave up. I am sure there are plenty of players like myself that would like another option. For example, give us the option of a separate quest chain to have to complete. To make it fair people who do the quest and the raid could earn a special mount.

Thank you

First part of this sounds pretty unfeasible. Devoting a ton of dev resources to a new island mode given how poorly the system has been received seems unlikely. Going to get old yeller’d like garrisons.

But hot damn, yes, please give us a vendor. I’m a mount collector and I’ve done some pretty awful things I hate to farm mounts in the past but I refuse to do another island just to try to get any of the IE ones__

Will you buff poor racials such as the nightborne’s and lightforged draenei’s?

Expanding: Currently in PvP those are easily the worse racials and this could be eased by just making it deal more damage.

I love how some races make better melee and some better casters without forcing players into the “proper” combos, but nightborne and lightforged draenei are really, really bad. I’m not asking for OP, just not so bad that I can’t play the race even though I love the looks/lore.

Can we expect to see any guild changes coming in 8.2? Many people are currently complaining about the system, the homogenized permissions and the lack of current content within the guild system.

Are there any plans to further adjust the mana changes in PvP? A lot of healers are really unhappy with it due to how uninteractive mana is after WoD and Legion pruning. And Disc is especially struggling because of it.

Only one question I care about. Will Vulpera be playable? If so, what classes and racials. Will they have some kind of stealth racial?

Will Kua’fon ever become one of my flying mounts? Like when flying is unlocked?

ps. Is there a quest like this for Alliance? (Like raising a tiny colt to a full sized thoroughbred). Always liked the raising of the cloud dragon from an egg in Mists.

Now that we can have all 50 characters on the same realm are you planning an update to the character selection screen? I have 20 characters on the same realm and the scroll bar is quite a problem, I cant imagine what it’ll be like if I ever have 35+ toons.

I always wanted the character’s name or text box to be faction-colored as well but that’s just a minor thing.

It will. They will triple the costs on new gear and that’s about it.

Titanforging starts to diminish in enjoyment value when doing higher level content. A heroic/mythic raider will more than likely never experience the enjoyment of high proc from a titanforge (item level increase of 20 or greater), because of their gear item level being very close to the cap for the current raid tier. They would have to run lower level content to see high titanforge procs, which can be tedious at times. Anyway we can balance titanforging on all levels of content, maybe add a cap to titanforging to all tiers of difficulty?
