With development for new outdoor pet battles and pet trainers ceasing for Midnight, an open letter by the creator of Xu Fu's Battle Pet Guides asking Blizzard to reconsider their stance has broken into the top 8 most liked official forum posts of all time
Link to Xu Fu's creator official forum post.
Saw some folk just finding out about the changes to battle pets in an earlier thread, hoping to raise awareness and point people in a direction where they can add to the feedback.
The official line from Blizzard detailed in this Midnight Beta forum post by Kaivax from October last year explains that due to waning engagement with the combat side of the pet battle system Blizzard has decided to experiment with new methods for capturing pets that do not involve battling.
As a result, the current multi-turn battle capture mechanic is being replaced by a simplified 'click to capture' system on open world Midnight pets. However, changes extend beyond capturing, with about 80% of all upcoming Midnight pets being flagged as companion pets with no moveset, and thus unable to battle at all (compare this to on the order of 1% companion pets for War Within and Dragonflight). Additionally, in lieu of new Midnight pet trainers that would traditionally offer world quests and battle-related achievements, Blizzard have opted to give existing old continent Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, and Northrend trainers Family Battler achievements, while reportedly only allowing you to battle them once per day. Bemusingly, the pets awarded for completing these Family Battler achievements cannot battle, as they are companion pets themselves.
All this comes in the wake of outdoor pet battles and pet trainers also being conspicuously absent from the last The War Within zone, K'aresh.
Months later and with the Midnight release imminent, no further communication from Blizzard has been evinced since Kaivax' October post despite the passionate and overwhelmingly negative feedback from the pet battler community, who fear what can only be described up to this point as the gutting of future pet battle content

The new Housing trailer helped me overcome my housing anxiety
In theory, I'm the exact target audience for housing.
I remember in Skyrim how much better the game felt when i had a house to go back to after adventures, a place to chill where you don't have to worry about being attacked.
With that in mind, I was excited for housing.
Then, when it arrived, I picked my plot, entered the house and i felt so overwhelmed by how empty it was. The amount of work I'd need to make a great looking house felt overwhelming.
I looked at all these great houses here on reddit, or on YouTube and it all felt so insurmountable to even imagine collecting all these items. So i never went back.
Then i watched the trailer, and how the character just.. collected one item, was excited about it and then put it into her house.
This was manageable. Just one item at a time, and it made me realise that its ok to have a barely decorated house, that you could just work on slowly, one item at a time.
Since watching it, i spent all night working on my house, finding Décor and really enjoying my time.
This is just a fluff post really, but I thought maybe there's someone else out there like me that might resonate, who felt overwhelmed and didn't go back.
You should, just one item at a time

Pet battlers: heads up
Blizzard changed how old zone pet battles work. They now scale. So, if you're like me and would put in 2 low level pets and 1 high level pet to finish it off so that the lower level pets would gain several levels, forget it.
I can't understand why they would bother to f*%k with this since they're abandoning pet battles in Midnight\~.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. JFC.

Flesh out og race customization rather than make new races
I like all the og races of WoW, I think everyone does.
And its pretty obvious that og players and new players have mostly stuck to those races.
Data has shown that most new races aside from TBC are more rare than common.
I like the direction they're taking with Midnight, focusing more on past content and fleshing it out. The Haranir imo are pretty cool, feels more grounded than Dragon people or tiny fox people. But maybe that being said I would have rather seen more customization added to the races we've all been played for 2 decades. We're more invested in those.
What do you guys think? More new races so long as they're good? Or focus more on the og's?

I’m sorry High Elf enjoyers, you were right…
For the longest time, I was against adding High Elves to the Alliance because I felt it would detract from the story and identity of Blood Elves. When Void Elves were introduced, though, I was genuinely excited. They felt like a fresh, interesting take with a bit of edge.
Now, eight years later, and on the cusp of Midnight, it’s clear that Void Elves have cannibalized so much of what once made Blood Elves interesting and unique, in a way that High Elves never would have. Add to that the Devourer spec completely overhauling the Demon Hunter aesthetic just to fit that race, and it starts to feel even more off.
I guess what I’m really saying is: I just want my green-crystal, green-eyed Blood Elves back.
