And failed miserably, to the point where it's never felt less rewarding than it does now.

I disagree. As someone who never really enjoyed PVP, the Prestige system's rewards has gotten me to start doingm ore than just PVP WQs...lately I've done more PVP than PvE content and I'm enjoying it more than I had in the past.

Same thing here - the Greench quest gift gave it to me.

Same for me.

Some interesting items. Tempted, for the first time in a year and a half, to sub for a month just to play around with the holiday stuff.

"Highmaul was the first Mythic raid to feature the new 20 man raid size." I'm like 99.999% sure SoO had Mythic after the pre-patch changes.

It did, but the post probably meant first new raid with the new system. The SoO change was obviously well after progression occurred.

Oh that's cool. Add a pet to a snowglobe in major cities with a fucking 30 minute cooldown that's guaranteed to be camped to shit. Great idea, Blizzard. Bravo.

The cooldown is definitely too long, but on the bright side the auction house will probably be flooded with them by the time the holiday is over.

Can't cage it, its a pet battle pet, have to get it yourself.

harrassment is real, lvl 110s camping Grumpus for 15 minutes now just aoe'ing it for fun.

Harassment : "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Everyone is having the issue trying to tag Grumpus. It's people all trying to get a tag in since Blizzard didn't have the foresight to see something like this happen, which should be surprising but it is Blizzard after all.

meanwhile, it feels unrewarding for everyone who actually liked PvP, which is why PvP participation is down to like a third of what it was in WoD.

So nobody else there, but a Mage using Arcane Explosion is considered "just getting their thing done" ?

I completely agree. And judging by the stats we have available, so do many players who formerly PvPed.

Yep. Which is why it's absolute bullshit that they did that.

Then you should of specified it was a single arcane mage doing it and not "110s" since you made it sound like the fustercluck thats been going on with multiple realms. And its a dude being a dick. If you feel like it's harassment though, feel free to report it in-game as such.

WoW Alpha Update
A entry for version 8.0.1.25703 of wow_alpha was added to the launcher. This is probably just another step towards a beta next year.

"wow_alpha": {
    "deprecated": false,
    "instructions_product": "NGDP",
    "instructions_url": "http:\/\/{REGION_CODE}.patch.battle.net:1119\/wowdev",
    "locale_specific_uid": false,
    "locales": [
        "enUS"
    ],
    "requires_sso_token": false,
    "run_64_bit_only": true,
    "sso_launch_argument": "-launcherlogin"
},

Could this mean a possible end to the 32-bit client support in 8.0, or just that they are coding for 64-bit first and backporting?

When the time comes:

It's happening.

Highmaul was the first Mythic raid to feature the new 20 man raid size.

Um, no it wasn't?
I think you forgot Siege of Orgrimmar was infact the first one to feature this new difficulty.
Mythic mode might've been added in WoD, but Highmaul wasn't the first raid to feature it.

Fixed, thanks!
