  1. My out of date complaint is the ghost wolf form for the Shamans. I feel like it has been the same basic wolf since 2004. I know the model has been "updated" but it still looks like the same basic wolf.

  2. We need asymmetrical Glove transmog like we have shoulders. Or just get rid of Armor Restrictions for Transmogging armor. I don't wanna hear no Class Silouhette arguments either. We're long past that being relevant once they added the cosmetic sets

  4. I would love to see those AOE pool indicators have an option to outline harmful (move out of the pool) areas in say red and then friendly (say AOE heals or buffs in maybe Green). Cant tell you how many buffa or heals I missed because I was avoiding ALL pools.

  6. I've been burnt to many time to maybe ever get back to wow (the $90 mount after I was gone didn't help either) – However, removing reliance on addons (or just removing addons, period) would make me consider coming back… maybe… its still a greedy shitfest

  7. I really want blizz to make like a campsite for every zone… i know it will take some time but would be amazing the way you could earn it is my exploring all the zone and doing all zone quests you get a campsite for your trouble

  8. Personally I think the “info” for usage is being faked to try to get people to stop using specific addons like weak auras. Blizz hates some of the addons that glimpse raid mechanics. So those addons will have false numbers trying to get people to stop using them. My machine is near peak performance and I get alerts for these addons despite my true cpu reading completly different.

  9. Something I'd appreciate is the ability to turn off tooltips, especially when shopping the AH for transmogs. The dressing room pane is always covered by whatever item my cursor is hovering over, shifting my mouse to the side a million times gets tedious. I don't miss much about classic, but the UI for the AH with its built in dressing room panel is something I wish I had in retail.

  10. Combat addons need to go. I do like plater/details and DBM/WA's but how this stuff isnt built into the base version of the game by now is actually insane. I feel bad for new players that want to try out warcraft

  11. All this they are fixing and making, and here I am still, just hoping for them to fix the floating/misplaced shoulder pieces on mogs. Almost e.v.e.r.y single set has floating shoulders on all models but Belf and Velf. I don't get why they don't get it fixed. If you go back to the old sets, they sit perfectly even the Vanilla ones. So If they could do it back then – why can't they do it now? I know it's a minor thing but it it's REALLY a thorn in my eye lol.

  12. A better way to handle all the addons trying to overwrite the world map will be a great improvement – if the addons actually update to use it. And sadly from history it shows that not all addons will do this. The CPU profiling is another thing – some addons are not at all modular so those developers will start getting a lot more complaints. The waypoint system still needs an update – we shouldn't need third-party commands in TomTom or other addons to add easy waypoints, those addons giving users directions should all be using a Blizzard API as well.

  13. Revamp. Stormwind.

    Just take a look at Suramar, then go to Stormwind. It is unberable for the whole community of RPers, if not enough, the whole game's marketing. That is one of the main hubs of the game lol.

  14. IMO, Blizzard really needs to update some zones and general models of various things around the game. also looking at vanilla to wrath armour and weapons yeah some of that needs abit of a touch up aswell IMO, some of the older gear pieces look really good for their age, but imagine them with a more HD look.
