As of patch 10.1.5 no new players can obtain Cyrce's Circlet ring.
The first quest in the questchain "To Scan a Crystal" requires players to interact with 2 objects and an NPC. None of these have been interactable for the past 4 days.
Luckily this does not affect any alts because of the new skip function, but it will probably lead to returning players getting discouraged as the most powerful catchup gear is unavailable.
The only suggested solution presented by blizzard is to disable storm mode, but new players don't even have the option to enable/disable the Storm when they talk to Suzie Boltwrench.
Considering tickets are mostly automated at this point, and forums/wowhead is abandoned by blizzard I figured making a reddit post would be the most efficient way to get blizzard to notice this bug.
Edit: I meant 11.1.5, my bad
Edit 2: I managed to get the quest to work following these steps:
1. Abandon quest if it is currently bugged.
2. Set heartstone to the Floatsam Shoal
3. Take the zeppelin back to Dornogal
4. Toggle Warmode
5. Cast hearthstone
6. Pick up quest and wait around 30 seconds.
7. Attempt to interact with the Earthern prototype. If noting is interactable, repeat steps above.
8. If you get the error message "spell not learned" when attempting to interact with the statue a relog should fix it.

"why do people think they deserve loot??"

Blizzard don’t understand that player power is only important relative to other players.
Over the last 10 years Blizzard have evolved WoW in a way that places an emphasis on systems like ilvl, Mythic Score and achievements like AOTC or CE.
ilvl is maybe one of the biggest psychological factors in their philosophy that drives players to grind. This is because you need higher ilvl to be accepted into social events like dungeons and raids (and that's before Rio or previous kills).
Saying players should be excited to get a maxed out heroic trinket shows a complete lack of awareness at what players value in this game. No one is excited about getting a 672 ilvl anything, because relative to myth track it's weak.
You could say "well this was always the case, mythic raiders get the best loot" and yes while that is the case, now they not only get the best loot but they get a guaranteed certified shot at acquiring it. This leaves M+ players who only do AOTC even further behind relative to raiders. That difference sees them put out of more groups SOONER than it would have otherwise.
I hope Blizz reconsiders this system because it seems like wow would be better without it entirely than at its current iteration.

Blizzard, your dinars wont launch me into mythic raiding, mate
I pug. I play solo cos I have no friends. Okay I’m lying, I have my girlfriend and therefore I have 7-10 friends depending on her mood.
Still, I pug and each week I’m doing LFR and Normal Lou for the mount farm/rep, and in those 7 days counting myself amongst the very lucky ones if I can clear 8/8 Heroic for some better rings/back/trinkets. Seems to depend really because most of the pug games I get in fail. So one week I clear heroic, another two I won’t progress past Bandit. With every raid. Your dinar myth track gear won’t grant me even the boost I needed to clear heroic because that extra ilevel is not what helps me do that. I have yet to see a group of puggers going past 2/8 myth and with good reasons. You need 20 organised people to clear heroic and that’s with a certain degree of difficulty. For mythic… a no mistakes group. As I understand the myth locks to player id so I can’t even go in with another group.
So really, what do you think it would happen if a player like me gets hold of a mythic track Eye or Jastor? Cos it certainly won’t matter to me since the vault can provide the heroic I’m after.
I really don’t get this move into restricting the myth track to clearing the myth raid, the vault already does that as well.

So, respectfully, if we're not allowed to upgrade our dinar gear to 14/14 Mythic ilvl like in dragonflight because that would "trivialize the content too much" - why then are we adding an extra 6 item levels worth of stats and power to hero/mythic gear and crafted items?

Dinar choice is bizarre
You have two ways of looking at this as a developer:
A) Give all players 3 mythic track items for "free" (you still have to farm crests). Some players gain access to a power bump they "shouldn't" otherwise have, but it's OK because they'll be replacing all gear next patch anyway.
B) Give Mythic raiders 3 mythic track items for "free" (you still have to farm crests and kill the respective item's boss). The majority of the game's players (heroic raiders and below) will have no real use for their dinars other than terribly-bad-luck protection, but it's OK because they'll be replacing all gear next patch anyway.
Two directions to take. Both ultimately end with the same situation, but one of them scores you easy, universal praise, while the other pisses off most of your player base.
Genuinely, why would they do this?

Because I do!

Mythic 10 man raid would be amazing
So our guild really wants to mythic raid especially with the tokens coming out being locked behind doing mythic. With 20 people I feel like it’s just too hard to find that many people to consistently show up with everyone’s busy schedules and life they have going on. On top of that, you need them to be playing very well and not messing up and learning the fights. We have 10 people that easily show up to our heroic raids and we have a consistent group that would be awesome to do mythic with. The issue we have been having this season is trying to get our heroic to 20 man’s so we can recruit players to our guild to hopefully be able to finally run mythic at some point. But it’s just hard to find people capable of doing it. And the randoms we have struggle with mechanics and make our heroic harder than it should be. Even if they started releasing 10 man difficulty later into the expansions I feel like more people would be able to do it and overall just more accessible. I just don’t see many guilds clearing mythic because of the 20 people it needs. 10 is a lot more achievable

Where is my m+ bad luck protection?
Been clearing 8 +12s with same 4 guildies every week for a small chance that a relevant gear piece will be in our vaults, running floodgate every time one of us gets a key for it and still haven't seen one single pacemaker when the group is looking for 4 total.
We did the content. We proved we can clear it. We proved we can farm it. Why can't we get some guaranteed way to get the m+ drop at mythic level just to mitigate rng?
It would make a difference in our ability to progress further, and just for our happiness and satisfaction with our time and effort spent.
It's a transparent farce that puzzling cartel chips are only for raid. They want to bribe more people to raid. Too bad for them, it's not happening.
I'm not asking for much. I'm saying, if you clear content consistently for weeks, you should be guaranteed to eventually get the item you're after deterministically. You earned it, but RNG just won't cooperate. How is that a problem for anyone and not just an obvious slam dunk W all around, even for Blizzard's engagement metrics or whatever shareholder goal they base their decisions on?
We're so tired of having to run the same 2 trinket instances over and over and still never seeing them drop, so it never ends

Dinar system in current state is a big gift to all service sellers that selling raids.
Now you just buy service and guarantee buys a gear with dinar. You will see crazy amount of service providers.

I think the Dinar fiasco boils down to a more systemic issue, trinket balance.
Whilst we can all agree that Blizz have massively dropped the ball on the dinar implementation, I believe it reflects on the wider issue of trinket balance.
There are some amazing items from the raid that would be available from the dinars, but my feeling is that most people are looking for those juicy raid trinkets.
I don't know about everyone else but my bags are regularly filled with trinkets that are all completely trash. Whilst I think gear slots should have a 'BiS', the gap between trinkets at the top and the bottom is so vast it creates a situation where that BiS item is far ahead of everything else, further increasing the demand for it. This is something unique to trinkets.
Blizz trinket design is generally fantastic, with unique and interesting new items each season, but the rate at which so many are useless it is staggering. This is not unique to this season or even xpac, but I feel it has been made worse but the deluge of trinkets available from delves. 90% of which are terrible.
If trinkets were more balanced, I think the outrage around the dinars would have been significantly reduced.

As a M+ player with a chill AOTC guild

@r_wow
So I’m a tank and I decided to play DPS to chill out….
I am just under 3k as tank and I had a few beers and decided I wanted to chill and play DPS
I thought, let’s do a nice little 10 rookery.
Sweet bajesus.
Trying to do rotation while avoiding everything, all these boss mechanics that actually can wipe the team!!!! This was not chill!!!!
Yeh, just saying that DPS is actually harder than tank and to top it off the tank we had was so slow that we didn’t even time it.
So yeh, I will play tank next time.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk

It's impressive how Blizzard can take a system that people are excited for and turn it directly into anger with just a couple tweaks
Not including m+ items in the dinar system is just frustrating. Could you imagine how bad that would feel in a season with IQD or Sacbrood more recently?
Also, I understand the argument of keeping myth raid items for mythic raiders, but is it really that blasphemous to allow heroic raiders to get myth raid trinkets 12 weeks into the patch? They will have myth track items in basically every slot except for specific hero track rare items at that point already, who cares? Why not just let them have a trinket everybody will be replacing in 5 weeks when the new raid drops
Side note, but inflating the ilvl feels kind of insulting as well. I think they expected us to get excited about getting more power but all it accomplishes is nerfing the raid (which they can do in many other ways) and driving engagement which is the main goal on their end most likely. Not looking forward to running another 20 homework keys well after I'm done with the patch
