Is anyone elses flying mount being forced to level off?
It seems like I can't fly tipped slightly downward anymore, it either levels me off entirely, wasting my speed, or auto tips me downward too far
Why is there any auto adjustment at all? Is this intended? Because if so it's fucking stupid

she is the ONLY pet you have to farm.
... You can just buy the rest:
Specific pets worth buying include Ikky, Chrominus, Anomalus, Microbot XD, Zandalari Anklebiter (most of the Zandalari pets are decent)... and if you have some cash, Anubisath idol & Iron Starlette.
You can also buy a bunch of 30 - 50g pets, just to make sure you have decent type coverage.
If you really want ONLY THE STRONGEST PETS TM... you can use this list of the most used pets.
Just start typing them into the Auction House from top to bottom, and you'll have a bunch of the most commonly used pets.
Finally... if you want free pets... you can fly around and capture whatever pets you see.
As long as you're catching new pets (as opposed to catching the exact same pet, over and over and over) any pet you catch is a pet worth catching.
In summary
Not only is collecting pets cool --- you get neat dudes following you around --- it can be pretty rewarding for very little work:
Simply:
1. Spend anywhere from 500 gold to 10,000 gold on the auction house - buy the pets we listed above
2. (Optional) Farm Unborn Valkyr
3. Get Rematch
4. Target the pet or trainer you're going to battle
5. Open Rematch
6. Click the little blue button that says "Load Random Pets" or similar. (It is the top right of the middle column.)
7. Use that team to beat the pet battle.
After all, pet battles can be some of the quickest world quests. So you can get the world quest rep & special assignment progress very quickly.
Ok, now I'm hooked. How do I dig deeper into pet battling?
As mentioned in the comments, Xu Fu is a great resource for all things pet battle related.
Also... leveling your pets is very rewarding. Pets eventually unlock six attacks by level 25. So you gain a strategic element, which is pretty cool.
There are difficult trainers like Pet Battle Dungeons which offer you portals to them, once you beat them.
There is some pet coin arbitrage; where you buy level 1 pets, buy level 25 stones, level the pet to 25 and resell at a profit.
... And there are just a ton of cool, useful, rare pets that you can collect.
The sky is the limit.
But if you only want to smash world quests, all you need to do is get rematch, hit the auction house, and roll up some random teams.

Wow made me cry today.
Out of nowhere I broke down. I chose to "stay a while and listen" to Anduin.
He spoke about the impact his father had on him and I got to thinking about how Anduin and I both grew up these last twenty years and both lost our fathers.
Mine was my hero too Anduin. I understand all the grief and self doubt.
I like to think we did it though, made them proud.

Blizzard please remove the faction b*llsh1t that is keeping me from running random dungeons with my raiding guild
Why is there STILL a restriction on being able to queue for random content, now that guilds and groups can be cross-faction? It's killing my ability to do random content because my dedicated healers and tanks are of the opposing faction, so I have to queue as solo DPS every time. BTW, random heroic spam is the only feasible way to decently gear my toons for raiding, please fix ASAP.

While doing the main questline in Hallowfall, I found an Intent Shadow in a basement. My only interaction option was "What are you?". After I selected it, the Intent Shadow disappeared and whispered me "What are you?" back, transforming into a shadow version of myself and following me. What is this?

So you wanna win pet battles...
It's a new expansion. We're all grinding world quests. But some of them involve pet battles -- ew.
Thankfully, there is one team you can put together to win half your pet battles... and a quick strategy you can use to beat the rest.
Why pet battle?
Pet battles are very fast world quests.
This means very fast faction rep, and very fast special assignment progress.
This makes pet battle world quests great on alts, specifically.
(There are many good uses for pet charms, too. But that's another post.)
Do I need to level my pets?
No.
I will show you how to get a bunch of good pets later on in this post.
But you should know that all pet battle content scales to your pet level.
So... if you go into the battle with all level 1 pets... so will your opponent.
This means you can start to do these world quests with the pets you already have.
(And not waste any time leveling them up.)
Team One: This beats almost every "Boss" pet battle
Pet battles come in two kinds -- your team v one "boss" pet and your team v another trainers' team.
This team beats almost every boss in the game:
1. Unborn Valkyr - Turn one, "Curse of Doom". Turn two, "Haunt."
2. Ikky (Buy on the auction house) - Turn three, "Black Claw". Turn four, "Flock".
3. Pet of choice (from the auction house) - This pet isn't usually needed, but you can bring a nuker just in case. Try Chrominius or Microbot XD
That team will get you through half or more of the pet battle world quests. And the quests scale to your level (I believe.) So you can start winning with level one pets.
Easy Strategy for "Trainer" Teams
The other type of battle you come across are "Trainer" battles.
These are battles where your 3 pets fight 3 pets from a given trainer.
They often share the same typing, and so there is not really one team that can beat all of them.
Luckily, there is a pretty easy way to beat all of the "trainer" world quests:
1. Select the trainer in the world
2. Open Rematch - my favorite add on for pet battling
3. Scroll to the middle column - it should have the name of the trainer you've selected, and pictures of his three poke- I mean battle pets
4. Look slightly up and to the right (the top right corner of the middle column.) You will see a blue dice that says "Random Pets' or similar, when you hover over it.
5. Click that button.
When you click that button, Rematch will select pets & skills which are strong against the trainer.
I tested this a bunch today and it almost always gave me a team that beat the trainer. If you have more pets, you will be more likely to get a good team... but even a new "trainer" should be just fine.
(After all, the trainers scale down to your pet levels. So you are equally likely to win with 3 x level 25 pets as you are with 3 x level 1 pets.)
What if my blue button keeps picking the same pets?
If you have a limited selection of pets, the above method might give you the same pets, over and over.
This happens if, for example, you only have three pets above level 1.
In this case, you can simply use the Rematch filters to build your own "strong" team.
Simply go to the left column, click the filter, and pick "Strong Against" the type of enemy you're facing.
Remember: You can preview their pets in the center column.
Just hover over each pet to find their type.
Then check that box in the "Strong Against" filter.
Where do I find these pets???
First of all... you probably already have tons of pets.
Lots of quests, raids, world content... lots of things drop pets.
And there's a good chance you're not selling your pets on the AH. So you probably already have a bunch of cool looking pets with decent type coverage.
So what can you do to enhance your team?
Well, first and foremost, you can farm Unborn Valkyr. (Use the guide, linked above.)
Unborn is just a killer pet with lots of unique moves. You don't need her, but you can quickly farm her. And
Someone offered gold to buy my characters name, 12hrs later my name was reported and forced to be changed.
Had the name Bs on a popular server, had someone message me about 2 letter names being rare and offered to purchase it with gold. I declined their offer as I've had the name for years and have mained it most of that time.
12hrs later I get an email that my account has been suspended and Bs was being force changed due to being reported by my fellow players.
I currently cannot log in to see how long my suspension is, but what happens with the name? Are other people now free to take it since it has been force changed? Is this a thing?
I tried making a ticket to appeal but the only option is saying my account was hacked, or a manual customer service ticket but that portion seems to be temporarily down.

The level of content out right now is so casual that no one has any excuse to be a POS.
I mean that’s really it. I’ve been chaining dungeons on alts and… damn! Healers yelling at the tanks to stand in healing rain, people leaving or groaning because a player needs to afk for 1min from a dungeon, being toxic because someone in your group didn’t kick a spell, etc., etc.
We’re dealing with the lowest skill ceiling this expansion will ever be in. Mythics aren’t even out. Ranked pvp isn’t out. At the very pinnacle of difficulty, we’re dealing with a HEROIC dungeon. Lol.
Everyone is in a rush to go literally nowhere. Just enjoy the journey. Be kind to new players. Have some patience. It’s a game. Or hey, join a mythic raiding guild. Shoot for the moon.
