This change above and all others are GREAT, thank you blizz! With the current state of AQ Temple idols/scarabs on some server auction houses, can you maybe increase the rate of idols/scarabs from the previous reals crate boxes (the non wartorn ones). Before, I’d be lucky to get ONE AQ Temple idol from opening 10 of those crates (100 reals), can you maybe have idol AQ Temple idol guaranteed in each of those crates, or at the very least, make the chance much higher? I know of at least four guilds that stopped running AQ Temple since naxx came out, so at least on my server/faction, we have much less idols on the auction house available and very high priced.

Can we also get class weapons added to the Nightmare Grove? Been trying to get Slag on my shaman for weeks now, not seen it drop once.

Season of Discovery

  • The Seal of the Dawn item now stops increasing at Rank 7.
    • Developers’ notes: This means there is no increase this week, and you will not have to spend Remnants of Valor if you are already at Rank 7. If you have additional Remnants of Valor, you can spend them on Argent Dawn Valor Tokens or send them to alts via the mailbox to upgrade your alts’ Seal of the Dawn or increase their Argent Dawn reputation through Argent Dawn Valor Tokens.

how about buffing arms warriors instead of leaving them lower than the tanks

Please reconsider capping the seal at rank 8. A lot of players were hoping for at least that last decent jump in power. A lot of casual guilds are still having issues with HM4 even at rank 7.

Please reconsider. The feedback both in this forum, discord servers, and YouTubers have voiced similar opinions on this.
