    Never heard of a banana referred to as hand. Its called moz, mooz, mawz, depending on the dialect. Hand is yad (standard) or iid (Syrian)

    Either way, I think you guys are looking a little too deep into something that's just a case of orientalism from Blizzard. I would almost guarantee they haven't put that much thought into it.

    Neither had I until today when doing research. But that’s what a group of bananas is referred to.

    I agree that Blizzard haven’t given it too much thought. I am still pretty convinced when/if we get Tel’Abim - it’ll be Arabic/Middle Eastern themed.

    See? It all fits together; we've been underestimating Blizzard all along. Let us go along to the Goblinution, comrade.

    The BfA island quest items have consistently been tied to storyline added in the future.
    Since 8.0 we've had over a dozen of those quests turn out to be real so it's safe to assume the rest will as well

    LETS GO ELEMENTAL EXPANSION!!!!!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Iridikron will be the final boss of the expansion and his plan involves conquering the elemental planes.

    11.0 will involve us going to each plane and making alliances but not for the factions instead for Azeroth itself

    I'd be very surprised, given how heavily the elements featured in 10.0. Look at the Vault sets. I doubt they'd revisit those thematics so soon.

    Elemental expansion? After Dragonflight was mostly about elemental themes mixed with dragons? I think that's quite unlikely

    Omg elemental expansion that means playable Elemental race/class confirmed?? Surely based off the WC3 firelord. They’d have to have a visage form too because everyone wants to play a pretty elf.

    Got a chuckle out of that, heh.
    This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
    Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.

    Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.

    Elemental Expansion.....

    My Magic 8 ball betrays reality by saying Yes.

    Well is certainly curious that with the elemental focus of DF, the Elemental Lords are nowhere to be found. What is more, I doubt that we will see them, almost certainly not in 10.2, as it seems that we are having a Green Dragonflight - Emerald Dream patch, and I just not see them popping out in 10.2.5 or 10.3, as the Bronze, Blue and especially the Red Dragonflight has not been touched upon, or not much, IMO.

    I agree with the general sentiment that an Elemental focused expansion after DF would not make much sense... Unless a world revamp happens. With a world revamp Blizzard can add as many themes and plots as they like.

    Definitively, if an Incarnate survives DF, and it seems that this is going to be the case, I can see this Incarnate searching for new allies. One of them could be the Elemental Lords. Not all of them, but maybe some.
    Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

    The planes are just fancy jails why would we care if he took them over?
    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.

    Why? if you want to play with alliance friend lv up an alliance character, if you want to play with a hourde group lv up a horde character, isn't like we still have faction lock per account.
    And as for game bleeding dry, i don't see that personally while im doing conten
    As you said yourself, you only play horde, so you would not feel it, and now with crossfaction it will feel like you have more people to play with it, US servers are most unaffected but in some places the game is close to dead. Wow numbers ARE low, thas why the game cost more

    Another question, have you actually played DF?
    No, paid for the sub, but i will not buy the exp unless they fix the "new race"
    About faction war again, no it doesn't make sense anymore.
    It does, and it will always will make sense, if they actually follow their own lore instead of shove bs down the expansions.

    The likely candidate for 11.0 with my own wishes:

    Age of Exploration themed expansion, ala the Waveborne Diplomat's Regalia for instance. New Continent is Avaloren, located west of Kalimdor. Player boats and system which functions like Dragonriding, and along with it comes upgraded water graphics, textures, and physics.

    Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms start to get periodic but massive revamps, beginning with new coastlines for many old-world zones. Broken Isles, Kul Tiras, Zandalar and The Maelstrom are combined into a single continent map called, "The Great Sea" where Blizzard starts adding sailing to them. Can now sail from Kul Tiras to the Broken Isles or to Zandalar vice versa.

    Winterspring, Moonglade and northern Darkshore's coast get expanded instead of being mountains. Home to where Port Nendis was. The old Quel'thalas zone in Lordaeron is finally dealed with.

    This sounds really cool. I would love It.

    There isn't an army there are "people" who can and will facture and aren't afraid to fight for there independence like we saw in the shaman order hall when the wind elementals didn't want a new wind lord.

    He might be able to force his way into being the biggest person in the plane but that no more gets him an army then say flying into stormwind and saying he's now king.

    I hope for to see these. Imagine Dark keepers of ancient strongholds. Legion gateways, Monolithic void ruins, forgotten constellations,

    Each plane governs differently
    According to BfA there's a new baron aiming to be firelord
    Fyrakk can go in and show his dominance thus leading the rest to follow him
    That's not even a new idea either as WC has had plenty of conquer culture in the past. Not to mention the incarnates would be getting stronger just by existing in the planes

    - - - Updated - - -

    BfA expedition island drops:
    Murloc eye: Naga mention
    Black dragon scale: dragon isles mention
    Mantis amber: mantid queen mention
    Twilight dragon scale: twilight dragon mention
    Void sac: old god mention

    Those are just the ones that I can remember which had story points pop up. There's also one for the firelands which based on the other drops means we will see them

    We put a new baron in charge of the firelands in legion, he was over thrown and others started to try and bring Rag back, there's no reason to think the same wouldn't happen to Fyrakk.
