You previously mentioned a possible “Smart Loot” filter for weekly M+ caches and the like that could guard against receiving multiple items within the same slot for multiple weeks in a row, any update on this?

How does Blizzard feel about the current state of leveling, and are there plans to change it? Specifically, are there plans to deal with the “dead” levels in which your character gains nothing/learns no new abilities?

Unfortunately the current design is a ‘race’, not an adventure.

Back in the Legion beta, both Vengeance and Havoc Demon Hunters had the Darkness spell. However it was removed from the tank spec going into Legion. With Vengeance currently sitting at the bottom tier of tanks (along with Druid), could you guys please add Darkness back to Vengeance’s toolkit?

Can we finally get some insight on the methodology behind LEGENDARY WEAPON MOGS. Can we get questlines like the Warglaives for weapons such as Shadowmourne, Val’nyr etc. Seem a bit unreasonable to favor demon hunters and not give us options to change weapons for things we worked for via long quests yet demon hunters get a mog basically via a drop rate and timewalker completion.

Ion and the Dev Team. Is there anyway to change the restrictions on Transmog for legendaries. Much like the Demon Hunters being able to obtain the Xmog for Twin Blades of Azzinoth, can Warrior/Paladins/Dk’s get the ability to obtain Shadowmourne mog through drop/quest if we already have the weapon. Same for Thunderfury, Fangs, Aitesh, Thori’dal, Dragonwrath and Valanyr as well. Limitations on Legendary mogs is a bit weird due to the simple fact the we where able to mog into legion legendaries and even the MoP legendary cloak. A simple oversight i am sure but the legendary limitation seems a bit strict and there should’nt be harm in showing that you have obtained something from the past. I mean you guys even let us mog into our artifact weapons for heavens sake. Can you please look into this.

Hati being readded was amazing for hunters, but the way you made the function to use Hati as a mount with the Ironspine Protocol item is really counter intuitive to the basic functionality of how a mount is supposed to work.

My question is, can you please add all tamable styles of Hati as a summonable Hunter only mount in our mount log instead of needing the item consumable?

Were the quest item drops from Islands taken into consideration when you were discussing portal removal? The CoT portal to Tanaris or the quick access the Kara portal gave Horde to that part of EK made some of those hand-ins convenient. The reward isn’t worth the increased travel time.

How much feedback is necessary for the team to make a change? Removing portals prompted TWO threads in the top 5 of responses (9k+ and 6k+, and numerous smaller threads) with a majority seemingly against, and the only official word was “We hear you and will make changes as we get feedback”.

i doubt this will be picked but here it goes.

Is there a way for the horde to get incentive to defend FP’s that are being camped or engage in world pvp, rather than just having us turn WM off?

Personally i enjoy world pvp, however being camped is not world pvp. I started playing wow on a PVP server due to the fact of the element of fighting against someone in the open world. I’ve turned WM off and back on numerous times since the Q&A where you said you wanted horde to turn it off but not because i hate PVP, i just want to be able to land at a FP w/o getting corpse camped on an alt for what feels like an eternity. I just wish this could be fixed and allow both sides to enjoy PVP.

I’ll give you guys some softball ones to pick:

Will players who have the vanilla collectors edition also receive the collectors edition pets in classic? If not how will those pets be available?

Is there any plans on loosening the restrictions on our artifact weapon?
I’d love the idea of my Enhancement Shaman dual wielding the artifacts offhand.
eg. twin lava hammers, or twin lightning axes

Why after all the backlash about no pvp vendors and the doubling down do you still refuse to add a pvp gear vendor into the game when islands and mythic plus have a system like this?

What sort of plans are in place to combat Battle for Dazar’alor gear feeling irrelevant when the 8.2 raid comes out? Things that made Uldir gear fell irrelevant: Extra Ring on Azerite, the Hard grind for AP, Heroic gear through Warfronts and weekly activities and PVP.

Can we have any update on the Worgen and Goblin new models? If they will be coming in 8.2, maybe?

They never mentioned her as being morally grey. They stated if you add all the characters together the average would come out as grey. Basically some people are mustache twirling evil card carriers, others are Superman of Nazereth in goodness. (Now not saying it’s great writing but previous times Blizzard have openly stated their stories in game are only being aimed at best saturday morning cartoon cliches.)
