Expeditions suck. That is all.

The server technology can’t handle a large crowd (20+) in PVE cities without latency spikes of 6 second or more. I think they should fix that first before tackling the lag in world PvP (which rarely happens)

I totally agree. They should take the game "RIFT"s approach and hold events in different zones throughout the entire game world to entice players to visit more of the “OLD” world zones. Use the mages of the Kirin’Tor to open a portal for a short amount of time, as to not damage the ley lines of the world, to allow players to deal with the new threats in the world’s of azeroth.

Any chance we’ll get a “Consolidate your characters onto one server” event or sale?

It’ll be like all the other Q/A’s in the past, they’ll take 99% of the questions from “TWITTER” an 1 or 2 from here, since “TWITTER” is their preferred method of communication with the players. i wouldn’t be surprised to see reddit questions being answered since they’re moving more an more towards that communications outlet.

It not only happens in the outdoor world. I’ve seen them in several War-Front scenarios. biggest giveaway they’re botting is when you see them mount up all on the exact same mount, then run as a group, dismount an target the same thing perform the same abilities all in the same order - definitely a BOT. I can’t count the times I’ve reported BOT’s in this game. an the problem keeps growing.

Why are people able to get a thread like the Portal megathread closed down by trolling it and getting themselves flagged?

Shouldn’t their accounts be suspended instead of punishing everyone else in a VERY VALID DISCUSSION who DIDN’T get flagged?

It smells of just wanting that thread shut down ahead of the Q&A right now. Looks very bad there, Blizz.

Right? I certainly want -all- my toons in one place but I certainly don’t have the money to put them there. I would have rolled them there in the first place. Perhaps an advertised and scheduled 2 day event where we can move other toons ONLY to the realm we have the most toons on?

Can you make a way to mail the service medal currency to your Alts?

Do we plan on seeing any additional balance changes to under performing specs in PvP scenarios?

A little concerning that the only changes on a brand new patch hitting was a nerf to Demon Armor and buff to some mana efficiencies on some utility spells.

Given that Blood Elf females got their weapons scaling adjusted, will we ever see any scaling changes for weapons on female Draenei? Many weapons; particularly of the two-hander variety, seem a little smaller than they maybe should be proportionately.

Additionally, armor mapping/texture seems to have aged poorly for a lot of older armor sets, particularly when used by some of the updated player models/allied races. Are there any plans to address this some day?

Has the Dev team noticed the abysmally low numbers of Subtlety rogues in end game PVE content? Is anything being done in the short term to make the spec more viable for mythic raiding and higher mythic+, or are we going to be waiting until 8.2 and hoping the neck changes fix the spec?

It feels like the spec has been reset back to 7.0, and those numbers set the spec up for a complete rework mid expansion. In general we miss the DFA playstyle, which is feedback that has been given since alpha/beta.

For reference there are 309 mythic subtlety rogue parses over the last two weeks as of 3/20/19. The next lowest specs are Survival (1035), Feral (2282) and Enhancement (2598).

Any plans for mythic 10 man to be released a month after regular mythic? Seeing as heroic 10 man still feels like you deal with 20 man mechanics, for example heroic conclave having to deal with 4 raptors.

Why are the cooldowns on toys increased for seemingly no reason? A prime example would be the new transmorpher beacon. Why is it necessary to curtail people’s enjoyment of things in a video game that is supposed to be about fun?

Who, I mean what baked goods, do we need sacrifice/deliver to get Zandalari Warlocks? How does a group responsible for keeping the knowledge of a race for the last 16000 years not have at least a few warlocks? Will gladly expand on the Alliance side race/combos if necessary. We don’t want more than them, just this particular combination.

Will Void Elves be getting any further customization options that will allow them to look more like uncorrupted High Elves?

This is the answer to your questions.

I know I have question in my head about something be it about how some classes need work and they admitted to it before BfA launch but are not going to do anything until next expansion , or a question on how removing portals doesn’t make the world feel bigger it just makes me want to alt tab out or logout if my hearthstone is on cool down . Maybe a question of why we can’t fly in current content once we get lore master and explorer for the expansion .

But I won’t bother asking questions like that because the only questions they care about have already been decided on have probably as much substance as cotton candy and probably twice the fluff. Real questions and answers have no place in THursdays propaganda video.

Gear is out of control. There are simply too many places to receive high end gear. What if any are the plans to scale this back. It is really hurting small raiding guilds that need to pick up pugs. As it stands now, post Aotc there is no reason to continue.
