Well they said 8.2.5 at Blizzcon, so expect it then.

Do you have any plans to bring back flight for ghosts in the zones which we have flight unlocked, currently this makes some body runs impossible

I also thought that the artifact appearance system would be cool if it applied similar ideas of color schemes and flavors to spells (similar to how warlocks got green fire). Why not also blue, purple, red?

My only question is, What is the main purpose to gate flying behind several patches?

Good to see someone posted this so early, I hope they answer this question.

Hi.

  1. When are we getting the other portals back?
  2. When are we getting more transmog options and fewer restrictions? The rationales given (immersion, new player confusion, etc.) don’t make sense and aren’t consistent with design decisions made in the past three expansions! I want stage 3 of my Fangs of the Father, dagnabbit!
  3. Is the plan to always hold Pathfinder (part II!) for a year or longer? There’s no reason for us not to have flying at this point. Turn it off in War Mode if that’s the reason.

A fair number of people feel like guilds have been left in the dust in regards to updates. As a guild leader for going on 11 years I have had quite a few people tell me that they would of quit this game if it wasn’t for being in this guild, and I imagine that my guild members aren’t the only ones who feel this way. For such a critical part of WoW, updates are a long time coming.

My question is when can we expect some new guild updates such as: better in game recruitment, more ranks, unpruned rank permissions, more robust and persistent logs, alt support, improved communication venues in game, updated guild crests?

Do you really, really believe we would be unable to find PvP (or other gear) vendors, or were you just joking about that?

I have both Blacksmithing and Alchemy trained, I only made one of the new Tools of the Trade item, guess which one I’m not planning on making at all.

What can we expect with class design going forward? Class design for many specs are awful right now and need huge reworks ASAP.

Battle for Lordaeron was a great event for Human fans and Dazar’alor helped the War Campaign but neither are of any interest to the Night Elf Community. Beyond Darkshore being forever locked in back and forth what are the Night Elves going to do to get vengeance against the Horde?

Given that the story is a note-for-note rehash of Mists of Pandaria (Horde initiates attack 5.0/8.0, Alliance counterattacks in 5.1/8.1, both factions go to a new island 5.2/8.2, etc), what incentive is there to get excited, especially when criticisms about the story are being ignored?

Why should the Horde get excited about being the dimwitted villains again?

Why should the Alliance get excited about being used as a foil for Horde development again?

Any answers to the 15 thousand plus posts about portals that have been growing more and more ever day? Or are you going to completely ignore the player base and how upset we are? Thanks in advance!

Many players feel the live Q&A format for “communication” with The Team™ is deeply unsatisfying. Players feel unheard and worthless on forums and fansites. The Reddit Q&A’s only answered a few questions (thanks, wall-o-text-posters).

What are The Team™’s plans regarding communication going forward? Specifics? Hearing; “We’ll do better,” for years hasn’t instilled faith.

Will we ever get to use the recolors of heritage armors? Blood elves got pants and a robe and a cape; Mag’har got 3 color options. Can we get a few options for the others? Specifically, Nightborne elves need pants, and a belt option that doesn’t leave a huge gap between the tabard and the belt.
