    World PvP - you toggle PvP or PvE on or off in a capital city or in a town. Then you can fight others who are PvP marked or not have to fight at all if you choose not to be PvP enabled. There will be no more PvP or PvE only servers. RP servers will be exempt from this and will continue to follow the existing rules.

    PVP servers should be pvp server without any option. I want to be ganked, because i am asking for it when playing on a pvp server- its about the risk and rush and frustrations :) imo

    "Titanforged System - it all averages out in the long run. The people doing the hardest content are getting the best gear. Weapons in BfA could pose a problem. The current thinking is to not let weapons Titanforge. They can Warforge (5-10 iLevels), but not Titanforge. Azerite armor slots cannot Warforge or Titanforge. Titanforging got too common in Legion. "

    No kidding Sherlock....the whole titanforge system made more hardcore raiders only clear mythic once and then just run heroic due to just that. If you're gonna add a system like this, you need to make it so the titanforge max level can be acquired vs just pure rng, like bringing back valor or even making it so you can break down raid armor through something like the obliterium forge and let you buy titanforge levels, kind of like how they made it so you can break down pvp gear and buy other pvp gear with it...This is something that MULTIPLE people all over have been suggesting since its implementation. Nothing takes the p!ss out of something when clearing the hardest content, takes a few runs to get the item they wanted, it didn't titanforge, and something else got the same item titanforged off of a lower tier. So essentially people had a chance to be rewarded more for less work due to this stupid system.

    All you have to do is pay them 50 bucks and you too can have access to the new races.. After you grind a bunch of content in the previous expansion that you may or may not like and may or may not have any experience with...........

    Anyone notice that Alliance players will have a harder time unlocking their Allied Races? Both of the Horde races are unlocked pre-Argus. Both of the Alliance races are unlocked post-Argus. In other words, harder content to unlock Alliance, particularly if you don't like the crappy Argus content. Meanwhile, Horde coasts to Highmountain Tribe exalted, probably one of the easiest to get and Nightborne, while not a cake walk, still easier to get than either of the Alliance races.

    Way to balance content for the factions, Blizzard.

    Yeah, I noticed. Still not too big a deal, though. If you get through the Argus content with one character you're all set.



    Yeah, it honestly doesn't take long with a human character and luck with your follower missions.

    We will keep Legion Prestige Ranks, though in BfA, we may go with loot boxes given for benchmarks or similar.

    :thinking:

    Survival Hunters - getting a significant rework. We put spec ahead of class here. It's likely to have a better balance of melee and ranged. They'll still be a Hunter, that's key.

    I'm wicked disappointed that Demonology Warlocks aren't getting the rework that was promised.
