I hope that drops before my subscription is supposed to end. Because it is so goofy I'd want it lol. I've been planning on canceling my 6-month purchases until pre-patch or launch and I have to renew early July. I do have a token I haven't redeemed so I could delay a month for free but would rather save it for when there is a ton of new content.

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
I like that the pin for the Green is Ysera, meaning its incredibly likely Merithra WONT succeed her and they are going to handwave Shadowlands away.
I got the Epic Edition.
Quick personal review of the rewards:
- Wings look a bit silly on most characters because they're small, and I never really liked wings on WoW characters anyhow. I think they could fit something like a Gnome pretending to be a dragon in disguise.
- Mount is great! Perfect for Druids, Night Elves and so on. The tail pinecone thing is a bit chunky and sometimes catches the eye too much. But it's a fantastic looking mount.
- Hearthstone effect is simple, elegant and cool. Right up my alley.
- Helmet will look great on some characters, like an elven mage pretending to be of the Blue Flight or something.
- Pets are OK. Obviously high quality but not too innovative.
- Character boost and game time are obviously welcome perks.
There's also a big Midsummer sale going on, with discounted character services and mounts etc. There's also a new Midsummer bundle featuring a ton of stuff.

This is the weirdest take I've ever seen, I think.
Game coming along nicely with a release date which is on-time for their usual development cycle, and pre-orders are up with some nice perks. "Man this sucks!"
Not surprised to see Dragonflight launching this year, figured that was the case as soon as I saw there was no major revamp coming.
Surprised we got pre-orders with no talk of the alpha starting up yet. Even if it launches in December, it's looking at 6 months of testing at most. And given how prior Betas have gone, expansions need more testing right now not less. Very worried we're gonna end up seeing some majorly broken system pushed live because "we just don't have enough time to completely fix this, we'll get to it in 10.2."

Any news about Allied races ??
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
I don't think we're ever going to get another new combat-oriented gamemode ever again. None have caught on since BFA and they are mostly a waste of effort: the things people want aren't even gameplay oriented (transmog, housing, etc)

Honestly this just confirms to me that they're simply not bothering with systems. Any of them. Current base specs with current mechanics converted to new talent trees is all it will be.
Which might be a good thing, but I'm worried that even if they don't bother with any of that, Dragonflight won't have enough launch content with only 6 months of dev time left.
