I’ve been noticing more and more things that either don’t quite work how they should in Cata, and some just obvious bugs, so I’ve decided to compile an ever-updating list of the ones I’ve found and remember. Each item is tagged either “Wrong” or “Bug”. Please reply with some things you’ve noticed, and I’ll add it to my list.
Bug - if a ranged weapon is currently equipped, I cannot see melee weapon transmogs at the NPC.
Wrong - The auction house does not work how it did back in the day during Cata - hell, I’m pretty sure it was updated in Wrath. You didn’t need an addon to sell more than one item/stack of something at a time.
Bug - Pet AI has been broken since the pre-patch, and they just never fixed it.
Wrong - No postmaster who sends dungeon loot you missed through RFD.
Bug - Also broken since pre-patch. Level up always says [Level 0!], and it doesn’t preview the spells you can learn.
Bug - Neutral town and city guards will attack you upon entering the area through teleportation.
Not even the reactive ability overlay is showing. Anyone doing 2 minutes of testing on any higher level class will notice. The list of obvious and reported bugs is in the high hundreds, maybe even thousands.
Blizzard either does not care or does not have the employee numbers to fix this. As it stands, most of these issues will never be fixed within cataclysm.
I assume based on the classic dev team dinner photograph posted like 4 months ago, that there are like 25 people working on classic development. And that is split into team era, sod, cata and maybe even mop classic at this point. It is unlikely there is more than a hand full of devs working on cata classic right now.
We have to face the fact, that most of these issues will not be fixed within the expansion, because Blizzard, as a company, does not intend to achive the same product quality for classic compared to the original product.
