All right … I stand corrected.

Still no update from the team. No tweet, nothing.
Plenty of ads being posted on the game’s Facebook page about new features and the new PTR but not a single thing addressing this problem

Stand corrected - thanks.

Same issue since the update.

Make/Model of the system: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
Processor: 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4 GB
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS Version: 11.7.3

Mine shows Catalina is current update …

So I fall into the minimum requirements just fine with os 11.7.1 and was doing great until the 23rd when Blizzard gave the finger to China. It’s like we got hit with the Blizzard/China shrapnel.

Yep, I have about the same left… I have shut this game down before for years because of their screwups, I will for sure do it again if needed.

Hi, my name is Artie and I have a problem.

My addiction to WoW is so bad that Blizzard made me tap into my savings and buy a refurbished M1 Mac Mini from Apple

Artie…Really you have made me giggle today. Usually I log on wow to kill mobs etc… Thank you for the smiles and giggles and Yes …I have also thought about tapping that personal savings to buy a new M1 …I need a bigger screen. Looks like that 6 month subscription will have to wait for blizz

Mine does too , it probably means your mac is a 2012 model- Apple does not allow further upgrades on those models . ( so
Basically we’re getting screwed from two sides )

Just waiting for the M2 studios to come out so I can purchase my platform for the next 10 years :slight_smile:
