Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I'll be more disappointed if they don't offer a free 110 with pre-order.... don't want to level my druid at all!

With these races I thought they said when unlocked you got a free 110 boost or am I retarded? (/gquit meme)

They are part of a new concept they call: "Allied Races", which is pretty much taking the existing race models and make slight modifications to them in an attempt to tackle the requests for "sub races" from the player base.
They have supposedly made it so that it wouldn't be that much of a hassle to create more of these "Allied Races" and that they might make more in the future.

World of Warcraft 7.3.5 Patch Notes
New Features
A SCALING WORLD
Every zone in Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, Northrend, Pandaria, and Draenor now use the level scaling system introduced in Legion. This new scaling system greatly increases the amount of options you have when deciding where to quest and when to move on to the next zone.
All corresponding dungeons and the rewards therein now scale as well.
ULDUAR TIMEWALKING
A long-forgotten evil has awakened once more. Travel back in time with 10-30 other adventurers to cleanse Ulduar of Yogg-Saron’s evil influence. While you journey through this memorable Wrath of the Lich King raid, your character will be scaled to player level 80.
Your fate is sealed. The end of days is finally upon you and ALL who inhabit this miserable little seedling. Uulwi ifis halahs gag erh'ongg w'ssh.
SILITHUS: THE WOUND
Players who have completed Antorus, The Burning Throne will be summoned to your capital cities, from which you’ll travel to Silithus to investigate the strange events surrounding the impact of Sargeras’ blade. Look for this new questline upon logging in.
NEW BATTLEGROUND: SEETHING SHORE
The Alliance and the Horde fight over a precious new resource, Azerite, in this new 10v10 battleground. Seething Shore is a king of the hillbattleground where the first faction to collect ten pieces of Azerite from randomly spawned nodes, wins.
The Seething Shore will become available as the story in Silithus unfolds.
Updated Features
LEGENDARY ITEMS
Arcanomancer Vridiel’s hard work has paid off, and he now offers a token that transforms into a random Legion legendary for your specialization, for 175 Wakening Essences. You can also continue to come to Vridiel to upgrade the Legion legendary items you already have for the same cost of 50 Wakening Essences.
MYTHIC KEYSTONE DUNGEONS
Combat resurrections mechanics in Mythic Keystone dungeons now closely mirror how they function in a raid encounter. When you start a Mythic Keystone dungeon, you will begin with one charge, and accumulate additional charges every 10 minutes. All combat resurrection spells now share a single pool of charges to a maximum of 5 charges.
HOLIDAYS
Holiday dungeons are now available to all players starting at level 20. Items that drop from these dungeons will scale to your current level. In addition, keep an eye out for new items in many upcoming holidays, such as new Lunar Festival hats and a sturdier Sturdy Love Fool.
S.E.L.F.I.E
Self-oriented photographers rejoice! Your S.E.L.F.I.E. camera is now easier to obtain, and it has new background filters. Selfie Cam Mark I is available at level 15 in Stormwind or Orgrimmar via a quest, and you can upgrade to the Mark II Selfie Cam after completing a new level 30 group quest.
We’ve also added the following backgrounds, but you’ll have to figure out how to unlock them.
- Argus in the Sky
- Twilight Sky
- Sha Sky
- Firelands Sky
- Frostmourne Sky

So the cool news after 14 years they finally decided to make the base backpack larger.. going from 16 to 20 slots.. I feel like that is still a little stingy but I'll take it.
More nerfs to toys is fucking dumb. They need to loosen up the restriction on most of that shit, the illusions most of all. On one hand its nice to see them removing shit that are just noise makers because people like the spam in the AH, on the other hand they are fucking toys who gives a shit.
The overall theme with the new leveling is that its sluggish and sucks dick since the only part of the game that matters is at max level. I can see why some like it but if I really wanted to play a scaling world I would just fucking load up a Bethesda game instead.
Ulduar time timewalking will be fun. I wonder if they will add the lego mace as a transmog like they did for glaives? RIP battlerez in M+
and more selfie shit is gayer than 8 dudes blowing 9 dudes.

I'm an idiot, I thought it meant 4 more backpack slots. 4 more backpacks.
Anyways, interested in the leveling changes, this mean that no zone ever goes green/grey? That's a big change. Guessing we still have the level restrictions? I can't just decide to go to Pandaria at level 20? Either way, starting a zone and then out leveling it by running some dungeons is really nice.

It was not posted anywhere, but it makes sense. They did it with the Demon Hunter Class, I imagine they will with the Allied Races - as they did not make it into 7.3.5 and unless I am mistaken, the only patch after this is scheduled to be the 'pre-patch'.

The scaling world zones is nice for things like Loremaster and other old expac achievements. It's also nice for a change of pace when leveling alts. It's one of the better things they've added to the game in recent memory for people like me.

The mount still same drop % as it was back in the day? Debating if it's even worth the time going after it.
Several mounts I'd like but at the top is like Mimirons, and the newest blizzcon flying ship mount. (Imagine those are only available now as ebay $200 items, one of the few things I'd consider cash shopping from blizzard for $20)

Yes drop rate is still tiny but it takes only 30 minutes or less to just smash and grab the whole thing and there are a lot of nice transmog weapon looks/armor looks from that dungeon so worth doing if you are in the mood.
Kinda sad the allied race stuff is not talked about in the patch notes but I am guessing they can't really talk about them officially until they can give a preorder release window.
