Any tips on creating believable Expansion Leak Threads with the potential of getting a lot of upvotes and spreads?
I know WoW Experience and writing creavity can help, but I would like to hear other aspects on how I can improve my leaks.

Every expansion there have been legitimate leaks sprinkled throughout the fake leaks. Idk why people are so upset every time. Learn to read between the lines!
Casually mention your family has ties to Blizz
Also use "100% legit" phrase.
It must contain:
- Ogres
- Ethereals
- Naga
Write garbage that is only 10% comprehensible and say it's from a Russian/Chinese source.
-Dont go into much details.
-Create some interesting main feature no one thought about before but not too weird.
-Dont claim you are brother/friend/son of Blizzard' worker.
-Dont use some bullshit statements like "we gonna go outland again".
I'll give you a serious answer you won't like:
Don't create a leak thread. They'll all just be closed once Blizzcon happens.
If you have a genuine idea about what you think would make an excellent expansion, post it as such and the thread will stay open after Blizzcon. We welcome those.
We tolerate "leak" threads but once we "know" they'll be dead horses and closed.
The real answer is the best leak threads aren't usually very splashy when shown to be true. They're relatively short and low on detail.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Also create a new account and be sure that the "leak" is your first post
Short and sweet so it kinda flies under and don't make its own thread like the Legion leak did that turned out to be true.
Use key words like SILITHUS / UNDERWATER / SHIP / AZSHARA / VOID / OLD GOD / JAINA / KUL TIRAS / SUBRACE
Write a poem using obscure quotes from oldschool NPCs / make smeagle type riddles / write random old god gibberishynag'shringos'rilla
Congratulations!
You've made a mysterious expansion leak!
