On the character customization, I’d love it if we could have a seperate option for eyes, instead of them being locked to the face… :eye::eye:

Are there any plans for WoW remaster with the latest graphics and character models, in the near future? ( like black desert online graphics)

What about the mage tower challlenge? Locking whole tier of artifact appearances is brutal. Could you please return the challenge, adapt it for BFA sounds nice.

And what about vicious saddles?

When will wow change its business model from P2P to F2P?

When is the patch 8.2 coming? There´s so little that patch 8.1 bring to the table it´s somewhat dissapointing (before you start explaining that ther´s a lot of the “awesome” 8.1 content, look at how was the survival guide received). Thanks.

Why raid and season 2 is so much timegated? 2nd Q: Is patch 8.1 april fool?

Is dealing with the (considerable) toxic part of the playerbase as annoying as reading their posts is?
Just kidding.
I’m new to the game, so the question may be dumb, but I see a massive overrepresentation of certain classes and specs in PvP – let’s take rogues: There are tons of sin rogues running around and almost no subs, just because the classes/specs don’t seem to be well balanced. Do you intend to put more effort into balancing PvP to make every spec viable in it’s own way?

Why do you keep doing the things we DON’T want, instead of doing the things we DO want?

A question regarding my ongoing confusion about Allied Races lore How is it that Dark Irons, a classical enemy, became allied races before even a hint of Wildhammers is given? Can we expect anything Wildhammer?

There was an addon that allowed on roleplay realms to talk cross-faction. 8.1 broke it. Is this intentionally or will you fix it?

And if it’s intentionally. Will you ever stop with that excuse of “you don’t need to talk to eachother” because yes, on roleplay realms we need to. We know what we want, you apparently don’t, shown perfectly in 8.1 and BfA overall.

So people don’t feel forced to progress a new raid during holidays (and possibly exams coming after them, regarding students).

Some specs that felt really good to play in Legion happened to perform a little bit too well at the same time. When adjustments were made, weren’t it possible to just reduce numbers instead of slowing down and adding clunk to a spec?

What is the point of farming azerite gear when every trait proved to be good, it get heavily nerfed later on. For example, arcane pummeling was one of the trait that made arcane mage viable in pvp but with the patch 8.1, it got heavily nerfed to the point making the azerite piece with such trait pretty much useless.

Can Personal Loot soulbound restrictions be relaxed (especialy on weapons and offhands, trinkets). Helping a friend as a BrM (tank) to farm m+/raids on the regular just for me to get the item they want, and being unable to trade the item because its a staff or offhand (370) when I have a polearm (385) equiped is not fun or rewarding. Could there be fewer restrictions on loot type and go for “slot highest” instead?

This makes me unwilling and unfun to continue to spend my off-raid time helping friends and guildies because of the significant time investment needed and the disappintment of having to vendor/scrap/shard something someone else needs.

Can we have weapon type restrictions removed for classes like Fury warriors, Surv hunters, Frost DKs and Monks? No matter if its suboptimal for DPS, I just want my SMF warrior and dual wield hunter back for lore purposes.

While Horde has story with drama and even player choice, Alliance has nothing interesting. Can we have the choice like not following Tyrande with her pointless whine and instead going wherever it would make more sense?

Also, if Horde players have choice which leader to support, why do Night Elf players not have choice to follow Sylvannas? Especially if it is totally ok for big characters like Delaryn and Sira.

Also, are you guys okay with one of the senior narrative designers being accused in ruining the story by writing it in favor of a self-insert character? Is there any investigation going?

Also also, I realize that most of these QA entries are uncomfortable topics for Blizzard and would never get picked. But I can at least die tryin’, can’t I?

–With respect, Night Elf main since Vanilla btw

What are some concrete actions that will be taken to better communicate changes with the community as well as reflecting on feedback from the testers?

At what point can developers pull back on a change that was clearly discouraging players in the game and admit things were mistakenly changed?

Sad but thats how big companies see the game industry. Making good game is too risky better make more time consuming things to keep ppl playing and more monetisation.
Our once beloved Blizz is going that dark path now it seems. Capitalism as it is.
