Do you avoid playing races that don't look good in transmog?
I have a human and a BELF paladin, tempted to make a dwarf.... but when I look at the transmog, it looks kind of squished and doesn't look as clean and nice as my other characters which makes me feel kind of discouraged from making it because it doesn't look as great. I've also talked to other people on my server and seems like other people have the same feelings. They only like human paladins mostly, because of the way that transmog just looks so good....
Like, I'm not trying to body shame any non-elves or people who don't play human btw. Just curious what you think

Finally reached 3000 RIO as frost DK! 100% pugged. It was pretty challenging to say the least but it finally happened. Thanks to everyone who accepted me in their group despite not being meta!

+0/+2 does not mean don't execute the mechanics
I've been running an Alt (RShammy) and I've been appalled at the number of people who believe it's OK to simply ignore mechanics in +0 and +2.
There are still mechanics in +0/+2 that are one shots... Sorry... I can't heal you if you die instantly...
If you drag the AOE on the whole group... I'm gonna have a hard time healing everyone and if you do it repeatedly, we will wipe.
If you pull half the dungeon including multiple stun or AOE mobs... We're going to die.
If no one interrupts repeat high damage spells... We're going to wipe.
If you get mad when I post the mechanics in the chat and say that you have a 3K io main... And then I ask why you can't do the basics right... Well... That's on you.

You should be able to permanently decline quests.
It is extremely frustrating when making a new character to be bombarded with hundreds of quests that pop up every time you log in. Such as The Call for Allies, the heritage armour one, quests to start dragonflight when you're levelling, the bird that follows you around in the dragon isles. There are so many.
Sure, they don't take long to hand in but after the 5th one one the 5th character it gets pretty tedious. These quests should be completed account wide or just not auto spam you every time you log in.

The Final Boss Was Always Me
I was running through Westfall today on my Alliance rogue, looking for someone to boost me through Deadmines. Just another day in Azeroth in those familiar golden fields. And then it hit me:
"How many times have I done this? How many years have I spent running through the exact same content? I'm doing it again. Why? This... doesn't feel fun." The realization slammed me.
I'm 31 years old. I haven't played this game for fun in a long, long time. I log on to chase a ghost—the feeling my 14-year-old self experienced when I first stepped into Azeroth. That first login on my best friend's Tauren Warrior, seeing Mulgore sprawling out in front of me, music swelling, possibilities endless. The thrill of seeing other players—real people—moving through the world alongside me. It felt like magic.
For years, Azeroth became my home. I built friendships there, made memories, formed a part of who I was. Late nights with guildmates, the shared triumph of downing a boss after countless wipes, the endless grinds that were both frustrating and relaxing. But somewhere along the way, that part of me twisted. Instead of an escape, WoW became a compulsion, something I turned to whenever real life felt like too much—or not enough. Lonely? Log in. Sad? Log in. Bored, anxious, happy, numb—log in.
It felt like Arthas picking up Frostmourne: at first comforting, powerful, even necessary, but slowly corrupting me from the inside. And today, standing in Westfall, searching for a boost, I saw it clearly: All these years, I thought I was grinding bosses in Azeroth, fighting through raids and dungeons to conquer something external. But none of that ever mattered. Because the real boss—the only boss that ever truly mattered—was me.
Today, for the first time, he showed himself. And I conquered him. But now, I'm grieving. It's not a triumphant or joyful feeling. It feels good, yes, to finally recognize and confront this part of myself. But I'm grieving the loss of that part of me, too—the part that was my companion for all those years, no matter how destructive. That teenage boy who found belonging in a digital world when the real one felt too harsh. The college student who raided to avoid facing tough decisions. The young adult who kept returning to familiar digital shores instead of charting new waters in life.
I'm saying goodbye to all of them. And it hurts.
I'll never forget my first Ulduar clear. The awe of that massive raid, the triumph after countless wipes, the shared joy of victory with my guildmates. I'll never forget flying over Stormwind for the first time on my flying mount. Looking down at the city that had once seemed so vast, now a miniature beneath my wings.
I'll never forget the soothing, calming music of Elwynn Forest. How it would wash over me after a long day, like an old friend welcoming me home. To those of you I've ventured with, I thank you for helping shape who I am. I'll never forget the times we had together. I want to be clear: I'm not saying anything bad about WoW—I just can't do it anymore. The world outside Azeroth is calling, and for once, I'm ready to answer.
Today, my long time friend, my ret paladin I played for so long, has said his final prayer, laid down his hammer, and is finally resting.
Thanks again, everyone. For The Alliance!

Why is everyone here so miserable? What happened to you?
Saw someone asking about heirlooms in another post, and people are just down voting him into oblivion for no reason. Just for asking questions and seeking advice on the game. If you're not all knowing or you don't explicity just get it when someone explain something to you, then bam, downvote and it hides them on mobile.
Like... How did all of you become so miserable? I honestly don't get it. Is your life just terrible or something? Why do you take joy and pressing the down button for someone who is asking for help and trying to understand the game from a different perspective? Our community didn't used to be this way. Damn, it's really sad seeing that. That people are literally so miserable they just get joy off of criticizing people and making them feel bad for being new.
We really need to change things. If people don't feel comfortable asking questions and talking about the game in the biggest community that's available outside of the game, it's really going to drive people away and make them afraid to try new things

After waiting more than 13 years to play WoW with my kid, they got banned in an hour.
I am not sure what to do here and would welcome any advice on how to best handle this.
It felt like the stars were aligning, my wife had to go out of town, my son had a break from school and I was able to get an old pc up and running. I helped him make a bnet account, we add one another as friends and I bought him a month of game time. My plan was to show him the basics in Season of Discovery then move on to retail after a few days if he was into it. I am sitting next to him, showing him the controls, walking him through killing 10 boars in Durotar and reading the shaman runes together when he gets disconnected and told his bnet account is banned. The email states:
"The Battle.net account has violated the Blizzard End User License Agreement. As a result, this Battle.net Account and all associated game accounts have been permanently closed."
There is no button to appeal and any attempt to log in to contact support or find out more info is just told the account is banned at the login screen.
I can not understand why he got banned. There was nothing that would clearly have justified it. My only guess was that there was some kind of payment issue but on checking my credit card it still shows the payment for the game time.
I am so disappointed for his first experience trying the game to end this way and I know if/when this is resolved his spring break will probably be over and the opportunity window will be closed. I have been playing this game for close to 20 years and looking forward to experiencing it with my family for more than 13, this was about the worst it could have gone.

People wanting "stealth" carries. What are your thoughts?
Playing healer wanted to get one last run for the night, joined a +9 Floodgate that just needed a healer to get going. Didn't think to check ilvl before run starts (I never had to because this hasn't been an issue). Mage (ilvl614) starts dying to party-wide AoE damage because they have like 5m HP it's becoming a waste of mana to try and keep him alive, decide to leave the group because I'm not there to help carry someone else's friend without previous notice. What would you guys do in this situation?

Pop your defensives when you are at 100% hp, not below 50
Currently sitting at 2800 io as a disc priest and I am constantly seeing dps not use their defensives before it’s an “oh shit” moment when they are at 30-40%. This happens a lot running 10’s and 11’s leaving me to frantically having to pop my cooldowns on minor things, leaving fewer cds for bigger pulls.
What you should do, before you are low:
- you see a damage debuff on yourself? Defensive! Especially in Cinderbrew
- you have started a massive pull with lust? Pre-pop your defensives before you randomly drop to 20% where your defensives are useless
- Boss/mini boss mass aoe? Defensive before it pops! (Duh)
- If any of the above points, and you can help with stuff like BoS or lay on hands, you can help your team not wiping.
To some this might be elementary but as a pugging healer this is such a beetch to deal with.
If you do this you will time more keys.

Am I the only healer who HATES healing blood DKs?
More specifically in mythic plus. I feel like as a healer, blood DK is the only tank spec in the game where my skill as a healer means nothing when it comes to keeping them alive. Other tanks like prot pally, brewmaster, guardian, ect specialize in damage reduction and if I pay very close attention to their health bars and anticipate incoming damage I can protect them with well timed heals or defensive CDs, but not with blood dks.
The very nature of their kit revolves around them healing themselves and being squishy as f*** to compensate, meaning it’s very common to see their health bars rapidly pingponging between dropping to 5% hp and then instantly healing themselves to full, which is VERY stressful to watch as a healer.
Blood DKs are entirely dependent on themselves. Your healing means nothing. If they press a single button wrong in their rotation, they will get instantly one shot by even the tiniest trash mob.
It’s not uncommon to see to see the blood dk in your party have double the healing of your healer because that’s how their kit is designed. Their health is constantly teetering between full and life threateningly low.
The amount of times I’ve seen a blood dk go from 100 % to instantly proccing their cheat death is insane and I feel like there’s nothing I can do as a healer to help them.
I try to avoid blood dks whenever possible nowadays because at least with other tanks if they make a mistake or push a wrong button I can still react in time to help them because of all their DR.
But if I’m alone in this I’ll take the L. Just my opinion.
