Real leak well come 24 to 48 hours before blizzcon, if it ever comes at all. Everything before that is fake.
I regret to inform you guys that i was way off about this banner. first of all, its now hanging in the darkmoon faire area. so it's not 11.0 related. secondly, it's not an elf, it's a fucking troll.
it's a female troll holding 5 hearthstone cards by the looks of it, and the cards are purple with golden details... the eyes are purple and smokey, she has a smirk, her skin is pale blue.
sorry to get hopes up. but i atleast tried to play it down as much as i did say i saw it for 4 seconds being rolled up. and it was somewhat see-through on the grey floor so it was hard to see properly. her tusks likely matched the floor so well that i didn't see them.
sorry guys, ill report back if i see something actually 11.0 related
I think we'll get a leak November 2nd. A controlled leak that hints at the expansion. Nothing too big, probably an image that looks like somebody dived in front of a monitor to take.
Final patch of WoTLK had a Dragon, Cata had a Dragon theme
Final patch of MoP was about orcs, that was followed by WoD
Final patch of WoD was all about demons, that lead into Legion
Next expansion Emerald Dream confirmed?
Final patch of SL had Zereth Mortis...
Generally the last patch gives very strong hints about the last expansion until Shadowlands which didn't really, but they wanted to do the narrative time gap
Given that the last patch is coming after blizzcon, which is unusual timing - it's not likely to make a difference this time
