Who knows? If there isn't, it'll take just as long come BfA, so I'm more than happy to hedge my bets at this point. If there is a catch-up mechanic, and I've spent months leveling all of these alts, I'll feel pretty stupid.

It would be kind of surprising if there wasn't a quick leveling mechanic in the BfA pre-patch.

Legion Evasions. AFK near some demons as they walk through portals leaving azeroth. Get EXP and loot.

Looking at the time trial leaderboards for the MDI you can see this is a very balanced game.

In recent years, the April Fool's stuff has felt more like snark at the playerbase than actual humor anyway.

To be fair, I have to try pretty hard to differentiate between their April Fools' posts and actual posts from Ion.

Interesting I am curious if they are doing it because they want to rework something major with the auction houses.

They've been talking about reworking the AH since MOP. Every time someone brings it up they say it's planned. Maybe they're finally gonna do it instead of talking about it for years, but doubt it.

Also lmao the AH app was so horrible anyways, especially when it came to BOEs people would list items so cheap compared to what they were. Many golds were had.

World PvP
  • The team isn't 100% sure why players are hesitant to engage in PvP combat. Is it the fact that there is a person on the other end, so they feel pressure and stress, or is it the behavior of the character on the other end.
  • Leveling with War Mode (World PvP) enabled will grant more experience and rewards, with the intent being to offset the time lost to dealing with PvP and making leveling just as fast and rewarding with PvP on.
  • You will fill up a bar with Conquest Points, earning a weapon or another piece of gear each time you fill it. Every week you earn another piece, and after you completed your set you will build a more powerful set.
  • If you are a Gladiator level player, there is still a random loot system that rewards gear competitive with raid gear.
  • Honor Talents are now tied to player level and will be unlocked as you level to 120.
  • When you have War Mode on, you will be put on a shard with only other players that have it on.
  • Group finder will only list groups with players that have the same War Mode toggle state as you.
  • You can manually group with people that have War Mode off, but you won't be able to see them out in the world.
I highlighted the first bullet point because I found it amusing. PvP in WoW is fucking awful and pointless that's why people don't engage.

I play on a PvE realm, but I accidentally a PvP a few weeks ago when trying to do some Archaeology. I didn't realise I had entered a PvP flagged zone, saw something redish in the trees and auto-tabbed it and started shooting. Didn't realise it was a player til he was half dead. At that point I just felt compelled to finish him off, all the while he was just trying to run away. I could hear him through the ether pleading "why???" with a disjointed look on his face. Feels bad man.
