I'd love a Rastakhan's Rumble Holiday/event that happens once every few months.
I don't play WoW anymore smh.
Hearthstone cranks the silly up way too high to make it 1:1 apply to WoW, to the extent that I often wish it were tonally in line with the game and could be another avenue to actually expand the game's lore and tell stories outside of WoW, with tie-in content and such.
That said, they've also had a bunch of really, really cool ideas that I would absolutely love to see implemented in WoW at some point. They've woven in bits and pieces here and there, but not much beyond cameos.
I think chief among them is probably their updated, modern day version of Gadgetzan:
It's hard to imagine how they could tie this into the content of Shadowlands so I doubt we'll ever actually see it make its way into WoW, but Gadgetzan as a Mechagon meets Suramar style outdoor hub would be amazing, and the crime families could be incorporated similar to class orders or covenants. Grimy Goons (Hunter, Paladin, Warrior, + Death Knight), the Kabal (Mage, Priest, Warlock, + Demon Hunter), and the Jade Lotus (Druid, Rogue, Shaman, + Monk).
Hell, even if we never get modernized Gadgetzan, I'd love to see the crime families trying to expand into some other new location in WoW and vying for control.
Only a select few things in HS are nice .. shit like the whacky clownshow dragon stuff can stay in as far away from WoW as possible. And I'm saying that despite knowing where the next expansion will lead us.
Edit: Since people keep bringig up Gadgetzan. To be honest, cities not just being shallow villages with 5 houses of which only 3 have working doors would be a start no matter the city (besides Suramar). They kinda did it with Suramar but that has been it pretty much.

You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
I'm not suggesting making the whole HS content and story canon, just some bits of it, just like how Tortollan where first introduced in HS before WOW, for example, the whole: Hagatha thing in Gilneas, is not too wacky or kiddie (obviously in HS it has a more light hearted feel to it, but that can easily be changed when implemented in wow)

IMHO the whole Gatgetzan stuff should be an expansion, Gatgetzan the main city hub with subzones (with every single gang control 1 zone, depending the gang you choose is your hub, while the others are your "lvling" zone) and introduce Kezan (Basically a city continent), patch zones added could be Gnomeran (It is supposed to be way bigger than what we have in game, but most part of it is sealed cause radiation and stuff) also it would keep the theme with the Goblin cities (Crazy tech and stuff)

I agree, only selected stuff and with some changes (cause there are things that are shown quite goofy in HS because that's its style)

I don't know why this is not a thing, i mean, that will literally make people spend more time of their wow subscription, playing something that's already FREE outside of the game, so its just a win win situation for them.
Also... the one thing that Blizzard should have made for Cellphones, is the Pet Battle, and that alone would make the whole mode more popular.
BUT NO! LETS MAKE DIABLO FOR CELLPHONES! *sight*
