Dexertoan interviewHighlights from Dexerto Interview on Season of Discovery

Blizzard is aware Season of Discovery PvP is "bursty" and compares it to level 60 fresh characters versus geared level 60's

While Battle for Ashenvale is often compared to Alterac Valley, The Blood Moon event was designed to be more player versus player focused

Blizzard is watching the GDKP Ban closely, stating it has been successful for them to find illicit gold and that the user sentiment seems to have gotten over it quickly

40-player Raids will likely remain 40-player Raids, but Blizzard is aware that some players prefer the 10-player Level-Up Raids currently in Season of Discovery

Blizzard still won't fully reveal the plans for post Season of Discovery, but hinted at maybe an exciting future!

Given the amount of false bans that their own CS twitter account + devs on reddit have had to personally overturn and deal with because of this automated system and the problems its causing in both Classic and Retail, I wouldn't call that "successful" but to each their own.

PS - Stormwind has more bots than players farming stockades. But thank God we banned GDKP to crack down on RMT to save the economy.Comment by webhookplz"Blizzard is watching the GDKP Ban closely, stating it has been successful for them to find illicit gold"

Make 20 mans instead. Best middle ground imoComment by Punka2140-player Raids will likely remain 40-player Raids, but Blizzard is aware that some players prefer the 10-player Level-Up Raids currently in Season of DiscoveryComment by Makz42My gosh Blizzard, think of all the innocent players with 3 accounts, 40k gold and 14 BoEs auctioned!Comment by Talgros1Please stop the 10 man raids, gnomer is so fixated on ranged we are &*!@#$% melee so hard because gnomer is REQUIRED to have 4 ranged if melee want any chance to do solid damage in the raid due to armor/hit values being out of alignment.Comment by AsheyyWell that's a big rip, we've been hoping that the max level raids get re-balanced down to 10s or 20s, we did all the big 40s first time around in Classic Vanilla, and it's just too much of a headache on a low pop server to get that many people together consistently.Comment by severe12"Blizzard is watching the GDKP Ban closely, stating it has been successful for them to find illicit gold"

Doesn't feel like a raid, it's a glorified dungeon. 20 man minimum would be better, I really hope they add at least 1 or 2 new 40 man raids at max lvl. These 45 minute snooze fests arent scratching the itch for me.Comment by papatranqI think a lot of people were looking forward to not doing 40 man raiding/guilds not having to worry about managing 40 man raids. I've done 40 man raiding enough at this point and im not interested in doing that again even with the increased power. Unless they're going to tweak all the old 40 man raids (doubtful) it will be fun gaming with the SoD community until then. o7Comment by AmaristellaWell that's a big rip, we've been hoping that the max level raids get re-balanced down to 10s or 20s, we did all the big 40s first time around in Classic Vanilla, and it's just too much of a headache ~~on a low pop server~~ to get that many people together consistently.Comment by mewhywhyLets hope they ban GDKP's in cata as well.Comment by AsheyyWell that's a big rip, we've been hoping that the max level raids get re-balanced down to 10s or 20s, we did all the big 40s first time around in Classic Vanilla, and it's just too much of a headache ~~on a low pop server~~ to get that many people together consistently.Comment by LoKHor40-player Raids will likely remain 40-player Raids, but Blizzard is aware that some players prefer the 10-player Level-Up Raids currently in Season of DiscoveryComment by SirWankerPlease stop the 10 man raids, gnomer is so fixated on ranged we are &*!@#$% melee so hard because gnomer is REQUIRED to have 4 ranged if melee want any chance to do solid damage in the raid due to armor/hit values being out of alignment.Comment by frostyfire1410 man raids are the way to go this season. I hope they do it!Comment by forthelooti also got a round of a shotgun ban, and i also really like the automated response to that feels great...
