World PvP
This is a topic we've been discussing a lot recently. We agree that damage feels rather high in World PvP situations and we're considering some changes. First, we removed base resilience coming into Legion because we adjusted the rate at which health pools scale with respect to damage. In the past, player damage tended to outpace a character's health pool making damage feel stronger as an expansion went on. We made some adjustments to that system but we've found through playtesting with the templates that we've had to decrease damage and increase health to get damage pacing to a good spot.

In a future patch, we're considering adding in some base resilience to bring damage and health ratios closer to where they are with our pvp templates (and the adjusting those templates to compensate). It should make for better damage pacing in the outside world. We don't plan on activating templates in the outside world though. We think it's important that the game have a place where we don't make such drastic adjustments so you can feel your character's full power when fighting another player. Meanwhile, battlegrounds and arenas provide a much more structured environment for PvP gameplay. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

PTR Update: Legionfall War Supplies
We've made the following update on the PTR:

• The Broken Shore Rare Elites (16 bosses) now drop 5 Legionfall War Supplies for every kill for any players on their tap list.

Once you're done with the new World Quests, you can acquire Legionfall War Supplies from Rare Elites such as Doombringer Zar'thoz or Malorus the Soulkeeper.

Thank you for the good feedback! (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

You used to be the punching bag of the WoW community now the duty has fallen onto Holinka, what made you guys the target?
Players knew our names.

My boss during my WoW days, Tom “Kalgan” Chilton, is one of the smartest systems designers I’ve ever worked with. Even though many WoW players knew his name, he (perhaps wisely) kept a pretty low profile on social media. So, he never got nearly as much attention (good or bad) from the community.

Brian and Chadd and I are more interested in reaching out to players, but as a result, they sometimes know a name to put with a design change, even if the change was made by some other designer who they didn’t know.

Morello was lead designer on League for a time, and he had similar experiences. In fact, I think the first time we ever met was because players pointed out how we served similar roles, as main tank for community sentiment. (Source)

Noone cares, all that matters is the most arrogant guild lost another WF, and didn't get one yet.

[TheRevenantHero]

No, Ghostcawler, the reason you were a punching bag is because you were, and still are, an arrogant douche bag.

That depends, really. Serenity might care. Perhaps all they care about is getting a one up on Method after losing WF.

[GUZ]

notice its all horde guilds

[Suggs]

Nearly clicked on the vid when i saw 'world first', then realised it wasnt exorsus.....

[Oozlz]

No dota on the poll ? quite a joke

[ReD-EyeD]

Nice poll without Dota in it.

If anything, the community is arrogant for thinking they know design choices better than the actual game design team who has been working on the game for years.

Look in the mirror.

Wow Serenity must be salty about missing the WF if they're sticking the words in bold on a kill video for a boss two behind Gul'dan.

[Tarx]

Method did even catch the 2nd place. I predict they will disband this expansion .

Dota has been irrelevant since like 2016.

And who are you to decide that?
