It’s stuff like this that really forces the player base to never trust anything the dev team says in good faith as it’s all ‘technically’ type double speak.
They said at the start of SL when the WoD stuff broke that it would be fixed in ‘a future patch’ which implies during the expansion cycle of SL. Instead, what they meant is ‘an indeterminant point in the future bundled in with a patch even if it’s multiple expansions down the road.’ which while technically a future patch, is heavily misleading and intentionally misconstruing what a reasonable person would understand of what they said.
Kind of like with the upped mount drop rates recently. They ‘greatly increased’ them, I’ve done 15+ kills on Galleon since then, and still no drop, and it had the highest base chance of the bunch, so for all we know the drop rate could have been increased by 200%, but a 200% increase of 0.03% is still only 0.09%.
TL:DR; the problem is that Bliz seems to be nothing but technicalities lawyers intent on missleading what reasonable folks would take what they say to mean because ‘WE knOW WHaT YOu WaNt AND ARe LisTeNING to FeedBacK’.
-edit- To clarify, it’s been 15+ kills since they upped the drop rate, I had 1k+ prior, I stopped counting sometime last year after getting to like 1400 some
