    I really, really wish the Void-y AI stage photos, Scaleface's images and Whispers of the Void were real.

    Probably Florida with its proximity to the Bermuda Triangle.

    In all honesty, I'm not sure.

    Yeah, I felt like all of the items you find in Kalec's WQ where you dive in the pools are hints for a future expansion.

    Sure, if they also tell us more about it and actually show people what an Avaloren actually is.

    The biggest problem with the Shadowlands cinematic is that it promises a story that SL doesn't live up to. Like Shadowlands should have been Sylvanas actually trying to break some endless cosmic cycle of torture that only she could see this whole time from when she died after jumping from Icecrown. It should have been her swan song and then kill her off at the end and let the character finish strong but instead we got what we got and it's just rough as hell.

    As I said take this with a 50kg bag of salt since its literally a "friend of a friend" situation.(Even I am not taking it 100% for serious)
    Tbh if true then I am a bit disappointed at least from the small subarea we can see of each zone. The wasteland one looks cool, but others are very basic.
    So what you're saying is we should take this 100% seriously.

    One thing that makes me doubt the zone screenshots a little is that the user who posted them on Reddit has less total karma on their account (1377) than the post they made has upvotes (2516), indicating they were heavily in the negative (i.e. farmed a lot of downvotes) prior to posting the leak. A person who enjoys farming downvotes probably enjoys trolling people with fake leaks as well...

    It also tells us that they deliberately cleaned out their post history (since they have no other posts despite their account having been created in 2021) to make themselves appear more credible.

    I also have confirmation from one of the /r/wow mods that they had tried to post the image about 2 hours earlier and had to repost it after it was removed by the automod for having an all-caps title. This doesn't tell us much, except it confirms them as the original source (as opposed to the post on MMO-Champion) and that they were quite eager to share their leak and get people's reactions on it.

    If it is a proper person, it could also them purposfully stating that it's real to hide the actual real thing.
    I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.

    We were told no pirates, though. And you are very clearly a pirate. So maybe they knew about this leak ahead of time, and deliberately gave you false Intel.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    I mean, and I don't expect this to revealed, it's just a sort of "here's the thing".

    Not everyone at MS is going to know what the Expansion is suddenly. So it's more than possible that someone is just putting things on. Like, there are likely departments within Blizzard proper that isn't fully aware of what the next expansion is, much less someone from MS.

    So definitely 100% take it seriously
