Hello all! First of all, just a quick liner about me, I used to no life this game up until WOD. Took very short week/month ish breaks up to that point, but no-lifed it for a large chunk of it’s early life.
Huge fan, hated to see how Legion kinda stripped class depth and made professions more of a checkmark, “you are tailor, you make this one item, that’s all you do, go sit in the corner and forget you’re a tailor” ish.
Came back at the end of DF and loving the talents, now loving the hero points, loving the professions and specializations.
Here’s the purpose of my post, if any of ya’ll track blue posts or just heard from streams or just have your own ideas/rationale, I’d love to hear it all.
-Why was Archy abandoned?
-Why doesn’t fishing & cooking have specializations?
-Why can’t we still do things with people of the opposite faction? You can dungeon run but not use the tool? You can PvP but it must be ranked? (from what I hear) You can be in the same guild (which is an entire, horrifically broken process, btw) but can’t quest together? I get that quests are going to be different for different factions, but achievements are account-bound, and there is already a “sync quest state/level state for party” option for groups; why not do something like this for opposite faction? From my understanding, with Warband, and I’ve tested this, you can buy something from an alliance vendor, shove it into your warband bank, go to a different server and different faction, and pull it out, thus, bridging the gap on materials, gold, pets, mounts (pets and mounts have already been bridged for a long time) so why still have this barrier?
-Why is there zero transfer or cross play with regions? databases are databases, and we’ve seen numerous MMOs comparable in size have cross-region gameplay with zero issues. Can’t even pay for it, and it’s like an entirely different account so even if I made a new character I wouldn’t have anything from my warband or achievements, this is saddening to see in 2024.
-lastly, the yellow box that pops up and says “you have unspent talent points” is god awful. I’m not talking about tutorial either, that’s a slightly larger yellow box. This one doesn’t go away. I’ve tried addons, I’ve tried removing all addons, I’ve googled my eyes out; it’s bloody annoying as heck. I’m coming back to an arsenal of 15ish characters and planning on making more for the “new race” achievements, and everytime you unlock a new moldy sock on one character, then switch characters, you get a brand new giant yellow box reminding you that “you can change the looks of your items here, like this new moldy sock you just got!” I get some annoyances in games, some things that aren’t fixed yet, but this is a blatant conscious choice from the developers to have in the game and unable to turn it off. I refuse to believe it’s a bug, someone had to program it and all of the prompts to pop up, like Preson Garvey saying another settlement needs your help every 5 minutes. It’s deeply irritating and I know I’m not the only one >_<
Thank you for listening to my rant, I honestly don’t know the exact forum this belongs in, I don’t want anybody to take offense, and love to see where WoW has come after being down in the gutter for so long (for things I look for in a game). And thank you for anybody who replies to this with some rationale 
I swear they change things for the worse just to have something to do! I am surprised to hear there is an annoyance that can’t be turned off by an addon though, since to my understanding, ANY event can be suppressed by an addon. Maybe addons just haven’t caught up withthe new expansion annoyances yet; I see a lot of addons keep making updates the last couple of weeks.
