So when are professions going to get an overhaul to make them relevant again?

You gutted first aid and left it only to tailors…
Cooking is hardly worth the buffs IMO
Jewelcrafting was a boost at the beginning, but now with 400 ilvl becoming prevalent, it’s not worth the mats.

I can’t attest to other profs as I haven’t had the heart to level them because they feel so worthless. Aside from alchemy which is always in demand.

Any plans to rework professions for lower level characters to make them more relevant to the leveling process so they’re worth leveling up along the way?

Can you look at making M+ a viable form of AP farming?

Here is a question many probably want answered: Are you going to discuss the “REAL” internal issues going on with the game, or continue to ignore them by answering picked questions that could be answered on forums or other social platform; such as new allied race, battle pets, Transmog, etc. questions? This Q&A going to be :tea:.

I am still looking for an answer to a question I posted here: (According to the Q&A forum feedback isn't listened too? - #88 by Bornakk) that Bornak said he would look into but never did.

How bad are alliance participation rates compared to horde participation rates in end-game content (specifically raiding, M+ dungeons, organized PvP like BGs, and disorganized PvP like WM)?

Where did our population go? Did they all roll horde or did they all quit?

What are you going to do about it? Is one of the steps trying to write an Alliance story so that it’s good enough for the dev team to actually play in their free time? (It’s been stated that most of the devs play Horde)

Is Sebastian Stępień going to be heading into the World of Warcraft team? If so is the team getting any more new faces?

Are there going to be any updates on the server stability? Large scale engagements aren’t possible anymore due to the amount of lag present. It’s gotten so bad that it chugs ever so slowly in the epic battlegrounds as well.

can we please have a better way of putting people on ignore? making them silent is one thing, but it would be more helpful to make them invisible too.

Why were there no updates for the World Defense channel? A while ago it was stated that it was something the team wanted to work on and see it return in the future

Question: Are there plans to help players access the PTR for those getting “no realms are currently available” error, or is PTR access being intentionally limited to veteran testers? PTR testing is important to catch bugs early, any word is appreciated <3

Alliance are getting A LOT of bonus to their everything, as well as overall more number in WM than horde. Is there a way to balance out the phases so its not a 20v1 every time you go into a zone?

There are substantially more Alliance in War Mode than Horde in 120 zones. Why are they still getting a 30% enlisted buff and the quest for killing Horde that offers gear? Couldn’t you offer both the factions a quest to kill 100 of the opposing faction and achieve a real War Mode?

Question: What is the Development Team’s current philosophy for the overall direction of World of Warcraft? It seems many of the gameplay design elements have shifted from a player’s investment in skill development and tangible character progression, to a model more reminiscent of a lottery system. Gear in Legion and BFA has been all about “Luck”. Player investment and progression feels empty.
