A terrible quest in vanilla WoW 'holds a really special place in my heart', says Jeff Kaplan, but was also 'the hubris of a junior game designer who thinks he's clever but is actually a dipsh*t'

Blizzard's "Fun Detected" radars went off and reduced the size of this big battlepet exponentially, removing its unique appeal.

Having an uncomfortable time dealing with casters in new dungeons
I’ve been tanking highish m+ since dragonflight and and was incredibly excited when I heard blizzard planned to reduce the number of casters in packs to coincide with healer interrupt removal, but for the life of me I swear it feels like the complete opposite.
Gathering feels like shit since you interrupt a caster and they are locked out for approximately half a second before deciding to cast polymorph again. I’ve tried every tank including prot pally in m0s and it’s not the worst but it just doesn’t feel great. I really like the vibe and mechanics of the new dungeons but I just can’t put my finger on why pulling feels so jarring compared to previous seasons. What do you think?

great; the voice actor does great work, and I love his no-nonsense mannerisms. I also love that when we go to renew the Sunwell channelers, we don't need to renew Velen; he even has a line about about how the other channelers "don't have [his\] endurance". Just a little much-needed nod to the fact that, yeah, Velen is pretty much the Priest.
PPS: Definitely seeing the Arator problem become fully-blown. Dude, why are you surprised at the Paladin relics in Light's Hope? You were one of my champions in Legion. You should be intimately familiar with every corner of this place.

I live in Silvermoon and what the f*ck is going on!?!

I'm just a regular sin'dorei living in downtown Silvermoon. I make my living selling stuff to adventurers and repairing their gear. I'd just been to the inn yesterday for a flagon of elvish wine when I was on my way home. All of a sudden, I heard a loud boom and this storm just appeared over the Sunwell without warning.
I just moved to the city from Tranquillien, so I didn't know if this is normal?
Then the Sunwell suddenly fucking exploded.
What the hell is going on?? Does anyone know? The entire city is now filled with paladins of all races (including void elves, wtf is Rommath thinking!!!!!) and they refuse to tell me anything. They just tell me to move along and everything is fine
Here's a pic I took on my S.E.L.F.I.E-camera this morning.
Does anyone know what is happening? Is it that Killian Jaeden guy again or what?

Guys.... we're just farming low level herbs and ores in midnight.
Tranquility Bloom - Peacebloom
Sanguithorn - Bloodthistle
Azeroot - Earthroot
Argentleaf - Silverleaf
Mana Lily - Mageroyal
Nocturnal Lotus - Black Lotus
Mining is more straightforward
Copper, tin, silver, and thorium...
Pretty funny that these are obviously the same herbs and ores but are making significantly more powerful items.

Still slowing progressing through Midnight main story, but one thing is clear: whatever other issues there might be, Midnight was clearly made with love.
I usually do my best to avoid spoilers, but this ain't FFXIV. The WoW community datamines story and shares and critiques it before it happens. So yeah, one does get a sense of the general sentiment for the story, even if one doesn't go looking for spoilers.
So, despite just now wrapping up Eversong Woods for the first time, I do have a general sense that some of the story coming up is... mixed. And I do mean mixed, not how most people use mixed (ie, to mean "terrible"). I get the sense that there's some really neat and interesting stuff coming up, and also some real head-scratchers and odd choices.
One criticism I am aware of is Arator feeling like a sheltered 20-year-old at most, instead of his canon age of "somewhere between 32 and 40" and a veteran of multiple campaigns. And uh, I don't think I've even reached the part of the story that people are talking about, but I'm already getting that. Like, a lot.
But I digress. One thing that is deeply clear to me, despite the few issues I've already noticed, is that there was clearly a lot of love that went into what I've seen so far. There's just too many little details and callbacks for it to be anything other than love.
One of my favorite things to do when a new expansion drops is find an old NPC who's turned up again for the current story. It doesn't have to be a hugely important character, and they don't need a huge quest line, but it's enough to see them out and about, doing what they would naturally be doing in the world. It makes the world feel continuous and consistent, rather than a bunch of siloed expansion bubbles that never interact with each other. So, as a Paladin main since vanilla, obviously the intro sequence with the Sunwell was a downright feast for me. I loved seeing all these named Paladins (and Priests, of course) turn up to face Xal'atath's forces, rather than just an army of faceless NPCs. Of course, there are plenty of those too, to fill out the ranks and to serve as our corpses since people would complain if you zoned in and just saw Grayson Shadowbreaker's corpse in front of you (honestly, I would think that's kind of cool and raise the stakes, but this isn't Game of Thrones, I get it). Draenei and Lightforged Vindicators, (T'PAARTOS!), Knights of the Silver Hand, Sunwalkers, Blood Knights, Lamplighters, Tyr's Guard, Order of Embers; named characters from across the game's history all summoned to face the Void. It would have been so easy to just sprinkle a couple big names in there, but no, they really filled that Vanguard out with virtually every Light-adjacent NPC they could haul out of the archives.
We even get a little follow-up quest with Tarenar and Gidwin in Silvermoon City, and get to hear about what they were up to during the Fourth War. Drinking, apparently, when the war broke out -- and they both escaped Silvermoon together rather than join a conflict where they'd have to fight each other. It warms the heart.
Even incredibly minor touches -- when you first go to see Valeera, Anduin is there talking to her, and he leaves shortly after you arrive. They don't have any particular dialogue, there's no "Stay awhile and listen", but it's just a minor little nod to the fact that, yeah, Valeera swore herself to Varian's service, and then became Anduin's bodyguard and confidante while he was king. They know each other well. He would go and catch up with her.
In short: there may be criticisms of the story to come, and they may be deserved, but one thing that I don't think can be denied is that there was a lot of love and attention that went into Midnight. For that reasons alone, I'm excited to see what comes next.
PS: Just made it into the Sunwell for the Arator questline. Again, so many named NPCs. I'm so happy we aren't in another "Why is Velen/Thrall/Jaina/etc." not here and handling this?" sorta situation. Seeing fully-voice-acted Alonsus Faol again is
My spells as a Void Elf Shadow Priest is basically just a camera zooming into my eye as I appear out of darkness. Pretty freaking cool!
