Players can now use the “Teleport to Plot” button while shape-shifted.

BEES. Also, I just farmed the everliving crap out of those bees last night to get my mount (lol finally) and the drop rate was honestly not really that bad. It took around 1h 30mins to get from 0 to the required 900 for the mount. I honestly didn't even know they stopped dropping post-mount, so I'm sure glad they fixed that!

So anyway, if I was getting around 20 pollen per group before, I wonder how much I'll get now?

Not only we pay ridiculous prices for housing in real life , but we also spend a lot in-game...oh the irony :D

Easy mode because everybody wins!

Glad I haven't spend my 5.2k yet, I had a feeling they'd add something to the vendor eventually

In their patch notes for 11.2.7 they stated you'd be able to choose between Stormwind and Orgrimmar horrific vision, this has still not been implemented, and the lack thereof commented in any way.

Comment by Lemistio

Can they fix Big Dig event not rewarding 5k currency already? It's been 4 months, and now they added purchasable decor to it, seems impossible to do...

This is only for the TWW version - not BfA version.

and that's why you don't grind out %^&* on release :)

Comment by Thorfisnson

Would be nice if they could fix the teleport issue in Housing and it showing the wrong level in the dashboard. But hey do they ever test?

Holy %^&*. No, this is not a "better late than never" moment.

I know. It still isn't implemented.

Comment by Esploratore

Surprised by the increased drop rate, as that was an ok farm, but another added to the pile of "let's change the amount of time something takes in the future", a reason to bother farming stuff less, since it happens so frequently (for recent examples, collector's bounty + remix).

Comment by Sindorein1124

I wish they'd increase the drop rate on Crackling Shards. You can farm several bee mounts-worth of pollen and still not have many crackling shards to show for it.

Comment by Zorados123

Fix Aberrus please. Whenever people zone into the raid for past glories with nobody locked out, not a single NPC is there. No bosses, trash mobs, or anything.

It'd be nice if we could sell the crap on the AH.
