I completely agree with this! Just tried a normal war front didn’t even get 20 seconds in before a complete crash - just can’t play until this is fixed 
just to add - i’m also very frustrated not being able to do new content, M+ or raid, nothing i usually do.
Since patch release day, I could do most of solo content but nothing else.
The game either crashes or stutters 10-30 seconds before deciding to run again.%99 of the time this is during raids, dungeons or when it’s too crowded in open world.
It just happened again right after I finished 3 world quests and was on my way to turn them in. When I relogged a new assault was on board and everything I worked for was gone. Super cool.
So only boring repetetive daily quests for these last 5 days; can’t raid, can’t dungeon, can’t pvp…giving up.

Processor: 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
it is really hard to do the quests or the daily limited things in the new patch
today it crashed during doing N’Zoth Assaults… all my sanity is lost when i returned so one day is lost thank you blizzard…
do i get a one day extra game time? is there any compensation for players struggling on mac in these days? no… interesting…
I truly hate to say this as I hate to point fingers and understand the magnitude of software development - but OMG did you F.U. badly this time. The “Fix” has made things even worse so it seems. Aren’t you guys running MAC’s to test this?
Here we go (again) … And yes I agree with all statements that for ONCE Blizzard should do something to COMPENSATE us.
EDIT: I already send in the requested spx file by a ticket. So removing all error details here.
EDIT2: Ticket reply : Suggesting to update to iOS 10.15.3 ? For real, this is a BETA2 stage update that is not applied automatically by apple. Can someone explain why you want us to update to a BETA and hope you do realize we are running other software that might be influenced by this request…
EDIT 3: providing my MAC stats for the community:

Do any Blizzard staff even read this topic?!
If that can help someone, I made a huge breakthrough.
Couldn’t get past the step 7 of Halls these lasts days. Actually tried a lot of things with graphics but maybe not the right combinations.
Saw on US forum a guy that had freezes during assault tried this
All graphics to 1
texture resolution: low
texture filtering: bilinear
projected textures: disabled
Then during the assault, i kept the camera away from the beams of light, which clearly (like all azerite based graphics spells I have found out with crashes experiences those last few days) are causing the troubles.
Try padpedaling to not face the huge streams of light that are created by the puzzle, maintain camera to the floor by locking it with mouse right click kept on, and deal with the boss.
Like me, you should get 4-5 huge freezes but it will eventually stop and let you dps the boss. After that (for the scenario part - cause the rest i haven’t tested), you will be able to complete scenario
hope this helps
I have the same settings as @Gombaa and it also happens to me. I am extremely pissed because I bought subscription because of the new patch. I could not wait for it and it is completely unplayable! I am requesting a refund. The only thing I do, is forcing my computer to restart all the time! It takes so long to fix it!
Hey blizzard ? I seriously hope you are plaining to fix this problem in a couple of hours.
You clearly failed. Do anything you can to satisfy your customers…
So i just tested a thing. I went on my DH and nuked the four training dummies for like four+ minutes, no freeze. Went back on my rogue to farm some transmog, in combat with trash/bosses I instantly get freezes again. What could this mean?
Having the same problems on my Macbook Pro (touchbar). Only when I try to play the new content, no issues when I level alts
Having the same issues on my MacBook Pro 2015. Not been able to complete the Halls of Origination scenario at all and at first I thought it may be a problem with my Mac so wiped it and reinstalled everything and still getting the same issues at Stage 6 of the scenario. I was able to complete the Worgen heritage armour questline absolutely fine so for me it seems like it’s just a problem with the scenario. Really annoying that I’m not able to enjoy the rest of the content of the patch 
Yup.
Very same Problems for me here aswell. Been Playing WoW for years now on this and past MacBook Pros and it has always been a pleasure, even on close to highest Graphic/sound settings. ever since 8.3 dropped, so did the game. All the way up to the Mac completely crashing. Help us Blizz

I haven’t bothered to log on and try anymore. Im waiting for their official statement that the game is actually playable.
In all honesty, I am about to give up on this and stop playing completely, at least until the issue is fixed (not to mention other issues with the latest patch). 5 days of agony, no solution, no deadlines set, nothing. Just some wooshy washy information (we may have a fix, we have a fix, we don’t know when we are going to to deploy it), that to me suggests you do not have a fix (I might be entirely wrong on this) and are in a sort of damage control mode.
I don’t blame them though, not after all those job cuts and bean counter decisions made upstairs. Cheers.
Just hope we get a timely resolution of these issues and move on. Pardon my frustrations, do not wan’t to offend people.
Nvm i’m just tilted af
In my experience, the freezes seem to be triggered by certain graphics/visual effects. Very striking when I was doing Stormsong WQs yesterday: things were fine until I flew over to the Shrine of Storms area and it started raining, at which point things got really BAD. Had some texture glitches in there in-between the 20 sec lags. And it was fine again when I got out of there.
Same situation in Tanaan Jungle: I was fine fishing by the Arakkoa pool area, but when I flew over to the Bleeding Hollow camp and Hellfire Citadel it was unplayable.
Tell us the date of a fix please… It’s getting completely annoying…
I just had a freeze. I was in Ironforge. My entire computer froze.
Imac 2017 with 580 video card.
I managed to end it by pressing option-command-escape, or so it seemed. I did not need to force quit anything.
I noticed in the activity monitor’s GPU history (which I keep visible all the time) that there was a massive spike in GPU activity. I guess some procedure got stuck in a loop.
