This week saw the launch of World of Warcraft’s 20th Anniversary and the 30th of the whole Warcrfat Franchise – and it’s been greeted by a very mixed response. In this week’s news update I give my own initial reaction to the event and also share details of the announcement of a major Warcraft Direct event due in the near future.
And of course there’s THAT new store mount.

this anniversary patch was the embodiment of what is wrong with modern WoW
on the first day of 11.0.5, my rapid fire animation was bugged, and it effected my DPS by a few hundred thousand in M+ >= 4… I unsubbed. you can say, well MM hunters don't need rapid shot, but it's our primary way to do AOE damage and that means you don't play a hunter… this means the blizz QA team if it exists, doesn't player hunter… I always realize any game based on money can't be quality. blizz wants me roll every class if I want to be invited to m+ as a DPS… okay. I quit. If hunter wasn't bug nerfed, I would have stuck with the game, but that's the final nail in the coffin for me. I was pretty upset at a lot of other things too, but I could have let it slide if I my main toon wasn't made unplayable.
