This is going to sound like a silly question, but what the hell is a proving ground?

I've never heard anything about it before this thread.

Could as well add cross faction AH, cross faction guilds, cross faction grouping and cross faction chat. World PVP becomes Guild vs Guild. Solves all imbalance issues at once.

I think it would be better to make world pvp free for all.

Didn't they mention awhile back that they were going to implement a feature in which you can enter different phases?

[Debreker]

LFRBG? (Looking for RBG??? just like LFG, LFR)

LFRBG? (Looking for RBG??? just like LFG, LFR)

haha my thoughts exactly! LFRBG, so you have to have certain PvP item level to join etc. that should be fun!

or making Random BG ranked...so you stop playing with PvE heroes....

Sounds like a Brawlers Guild to me. The Proving Grounds idea is rather stupid anyway. Do we seriously need that kind of thing?
You run dungeons so you know how to play your class, spec and to avoid bad stuff. And if you want to show off how good you know the game, there's always that Brawler's Guild.

New character models maybe? Ofc they keep saying they are not ready but wouldn't be the first time they are saying something like that to keep the hype down so they could work without rush. They could easily do it with the patch like they did with rework of Azeroth in pre-Cataclysm.
Old raids scaling up to 90? Though even if other MMOs have this option, would it suit for WoW since we have new raids coming quite frequently. Maybe add achievements?
BOTS NUKE DAY?
Group coordinated skills? At least LotrO has them and I personally always enjoyed them since it made the group more close together.

Blizzard said Brawler's Guild was NOT Proving Grounds.

That's such a huge feature it'd be an expansion hook, not a patch feature.

The problem being that if you are a new tank, as an example, you can end up giving four people huge repairs bills for your practise.

Yes. I'd say its needed.

Didn't the Dev's somewhere along the line mention or hint at the possibility of new casting animations with weapons? I.e. a druid channeling Tranquility, but instead of throwing hands up in the air (female nelf), use a new animation incorporating a weapon?

Edit: Found a reference. First question on the Q&A list

That, better animated cloaks, different postures while riding mounts and even the dance studio are possible extras of the new models. They are modifying the skeletons and their animations, so adding a few shouldn't be a problem.

In that case I imagine the night of patch like this

While I am for it, a new tank won't give anyonen high repair bills. DPS are back to pulling mobs ahead of the tank

The 2 best suggestions ive heard so far are:
A) Spectator modes for pve and pvp.
B) Scaled down gear for old raids in some kind of LFG thing for old raids. So the old content will get some use and people who started after WOTLK can experience them again.

I see this as very plausible. In 5.2 they're adding level scaling up for battlegrounds and they have been using scaled up gear on the PTR so it makes sense that they can scale this down to any arbitrary level. With current talent / abilities and damage scaling compared to the original content it'd still be fairly easy and acceptable for the LFR environment.

I hope they introduce something that inspires realm action.

The cross-realming is ruining the game for me, honestly. I feel as if I don't know anybody anymore, because I'm now playing with the entire european wow population, instead of just the people playing on my realm.
Imagine waking up in a new bed in a random place on earth every new day. That's kind of what WoW feels like nowadays, imo.

Would be awesome. It would have to be rewarding in some way though to make people do it beyond just revisiting.
