Comment by akaRavenWhere's my warrior buffs? I don't need them, I just want to see something and feel important :(

Also where are the BrM nerfs? I think those are needed, having 70% or whatever of keys with a BrM is dumb.Comment by Gadrinthehunter-Broken items in housing.
-Character select screen still showing some incorrect transmogs.
-Bloodlord Mandokir still sometimes doesnt drop loot despite him swing on me first.
-In-game dps meters still off.
-In-game voicepacks for audio assist teleported in from the 80s.
-Key to the Arcantina just another hearth. For why when there's a portal to Silvermoon in both cap cities?
-Stillwell's cat needs its monthly dusting off.
-The plethora of other in-game bugs that are constantly being ignored in favor of BS "hotfixes".Comment by RellyneAbundance itself is the lag in the zone. Make it an instanced event or reduce the amount of runs needed, damn.Comment by twentypieceAbsolutely no way that TW fix is in. Or if it is, that's not the last one. Bosses have so much HP still, taking 2-3 minutes.Comment by ssithlThat's not a fix, it's badly avoiding / relocating the issue.

And seconding other comments:
Abundance is a lag issue in and of itself.
The World Boss is a lag source in and of itself.
..
Soup was a lag source in and of itself.

Could they for once be honest and just admit the architecture struggles with these type of events, and they need to reconsider at a fundamental level?Comment by LesbianWitchAcad-Broken items in housing.

That obviously fixes nothing. What a pointless click-bait.Comment by DaemoniKiraThat's not a fix, it's badly avoiding / relocating the issue.

Or if it is, that's not the last one. Bosses have so much HP still, taking 2-3 minutes.Comment by TeoDaTankzDid fixing the Cavern Emissary break it ltrly everywhere else too?Comment by UnforgivennnAbundance of lag, next week world boss will be in Voidstorm. Imagine combo of Stormarion Assault + Abundance + world boss.Comment by Gadrinthehunterthis person is really complaining about the fact that the Key to the Arcantina has utility outside of just going to the Arcantina and back. Imagine having nothing better to do.doesn'tFor. Real. I read that and thought "are you ing joking?" I use that Key *all the time* BECAUSE it's another Hearth!

I understand that other things in their list are actually worth addressing, like if Housing items are broken or DPS meters being wrong; but complaining that something has utility, because it has utility, is such a move. If you don't personally find something useful, all you have to do is not ing use it. Holy hell. It's not rocket science.

Really hoping Blizzard doesn't see dumbarse complaints like that one and decide to make it useless. Yeesh.already existingpeople like youiT bReAks ImmErsIoNComment by CatMon92"Antonym for smart" decision to have so many world events that go on 24/7 IN ALL ZONES JESUS.... Add to that a World Boss and each week for at least 2 days, a zone becomes completly unplayable.

I hope they move on from this design ASAP.Comment by EsoterickWhere's my warrior buffs? I don't need them, I just want to see something and feel important :(
