    Could be. They seem to be theming the trading post around things happening that month.

    Definitely see the next expansion being void/titan themed with how the story is progressing. (Or, as Scaleface said it could be void expansion -> titan expansion)

    Because it says in the weekly news thing that next trading post will be cosmic.

    I'm mostly just speculating for fun, i doubt it will actually be related to any of that

    Going by how poor the dracthyr and evokers are it's extremely likely they'll make tinkers like that.

    New race which is a new mechaforged similar to the gnome styled ones we see in Ulduar.

    Miniron actually made a secret vault and hid a failed experiment he could no longer control. They look like a mixture of goblins and gnomes but robotic.

    The new race can only be tinker and only tinkers can be this race. They have a new 'unprecedented amount' of customizations, but it doesn't matter because whenever they're in combat they turn into the same mecha form that has 8 colour palettes to choose from that will match 0.01% of armour models they will make in the expansion. Luckily, they can only show shoulder slots and belts.

    I mean, it musn‘t be borrowed power. I‘m advocating for several expansions now that WoW needs an ongoing progress system that is universally implemented and kept. Something in the vein of Elder Scrolls Online‘s Champion Points or whatever. Something in that regard that keeps the grinding/hardcore players challenged, that gives the normal player agenda and that is even something for the casual player. Artifact weapons should have been this with a natural evolution following in BfA and onwards. Yet they totally messed this up. But without something that is combat-related and class enhancing, every expansion will just be meh when it comes to the most important gameplay aspect of WoW: combat.

    Honestly the issues with WoD were all about production. They just werent able to deliver on post launch content if WoD had the content pace of Legion it would be remembered very fondly.

    I think a paragon system or bringing back the idea of Artifact weapons, but as a longer form piece of content would be ideal as well.
    Now every expansion you're going to get new abilities and powers for your Heart or Artifact, and you can earn them from these places.
    Oh now we're in the void expansion and we're introducing "corrupted" powers or something, and now you get void themed stuff to slot into your artifact/heart.
    Going into the druid expansion? Now there's powers to summon wolves when you cast your big cooldown that aid you, or birds that cut your enemies apart when you cast a dot.

    But keep it all part of an evergreen progression system

    can someone explain to me why they claim ai is sapping the fun out of leak season?
    Isn't the whole point of leak season for people to see leaks and speculate on if it's true or not?
    In my opinion I feel like ai makes leak season more interesting because it makes things that can be somewhat legit
    Or do people just prefer seeing/posting text?

    I wonder if they will move away from the current talent-tree. No new point for each level. But an new permanent system, starting at lvl 71. Could be simply rank upgrades for current spells.

    Why? Because to many capstone talents will be bad or even OP for some classes, and making a choice has to mean something?

    I dont think it makes it less fun necessarily, but i do feel bad when people see something that looks pretty convincing and happens to be exactly what theyre hoping the x-pack will be and get their hopes up

    "But the spec X is not complete until I max that borrowed power counter/find a particular legendary/raise counduit Y" to an extent it was true, the power creep is always lurking ready to strike. If you make all specs perfectly viable and functional and on top of that you put the "borrewed power" you could easily get an overperforming spec

    could also be with the quality/frequency of leaks too, not as much to talk about thats hitting wowhead or being mainstream.

    like someone said before the BFA armor sets leaked early and were all over wowhead and people were going crazy for that stuff.

    Right now we dont even have a working name. Shadowlands was worked out ages before we actually saw it

    That, or introducing Slots in the talent tree for Gems or whatever to slot in, based on the current exp.

    I advocated a paragon system like this for years, some passives you keep expac after expack and active and some passives change thematically from one xpack to the other. I fear the reintroduction of the skill trees (and please guys don't get me started on them) killed many chances of an engaging paragon system

    edit: oh, and they could even mke a separate little tree for outdoor activities and legacy ones or timewalking too

    Yeah, augments to talents would be great as well, and they can add more every expansion/patch or whatever and have a nice little library.

    Previous cycles at least involved actual effort and creativity, not typing a handful of words into a prompt and clicking a button.
