Just unsub till Classic? Another unhappy player? Bye

[Darknessvamp]

They're trying to make Malfurion badass again, way to overshadow Tyrande's updoot. 8.1.5 seems to be Zandalari and Kultiran release.

[Tsamane]

Hoping for more warrior changes over the next month

[Deleted]

Zandalari palas :O
*faints*

Why are you so excited for 8.1? You know the raid isn't being released December 11th right? It's going to be garbage story content and more WQ's/Warfronts/Isle Expeditions lol.

Way too soon tbh. Raid tiers should be 4-5 months minimum.

Because if they aren't, then you end up with 18 month raid tiers at the end.

I am sorry but it si not fucking fun, that "lolololo Kultiras get another horse" The alliance have already been fucked over with faction mouns...

I disagree, that would be to early. Not everyone has had AOTC for months. I am sure there are tons of guilds still progressing on mythic and heroic.

[Jodmos]

Blizzard are now just trolling alliance players with that Horse set up.

[Onikaroshi]

You do know the patch isn't coming with the raid right? Do people not listen where ion specifically said no raid til early next year?

The systems themselves are SORELY needed right now.

[ryanmahaffe]

4 months from launch to the first major patch
Yikes.
8.1 has a lot of good qualities but it should have been early yo mod November with the raid releasing mod December

[kamuimac]

[Darknessvamp]

More Horses for the Alliance. They're also updating the weakest holiday and adding more useless Micro Holidays. 8.1.5 is the maintenance patch.

[Mivoc]

“Children's Week adds Kul Tiran and Zandalari Orphan quests.”

Obese children lol...
