Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?
Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.
Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% [of questions get answered!](https://redd.it/djsvm8)
You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!

Here are some handy guides to [start World of Warcraft as a brand new player](https://www.wowhead.com/new-players-world-of-warcraft) or [start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player](https://worldofwarcraft.com/news/23090134).
Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the [Wowhead Returning Players Guides](https://www.wowhead.com/guides/returning-players).

Genuine question, what happened to tranquility and why does it look so much worse in retail than it did 20 years ago

What do you think the original final boss plan of WOD would have looked like?

The presentation of the story is significantly worse than the writing
What happened to WoW's presentation?
If you wrote down the events of Midnight, it doesn't sound nearly as bad as what we've seen, I'd argue it would even be good.
Why are the cinematics so lame now, despite being the highest visual quality they've ever been? They even developed amazing new technology during Shadowlands that effectively put your character into fully rendered cinematics instead of just playing a video.
What happened that caused everything to become so melodramatic and lame?

Hallow's End is broken (Who had that on the bugs list bingo?)
Can't mog the pumpkin head despite the event being active.
More importantly: relogging just made me lose all treats, masks, broom mount, etc etc from my inventory. A whole reset despite playing the even for about half a hour to collect treats.
LOVELY!
Edit: so as a test I did two neighbourhood quests to get candy (they're fun btw, I like catching the ghosts), got 4 tricky treats, logged out then back in, treats are gone. DO NOT PLAY THE EVENT UNTIL IT'S FIXED, the currency currently gets deleted on relog.

Would have been cool for Kith’ix to get his own model like he has in Hearthstone
https://redd.it/1x9zono

@r_wow
Black Empire/Old Gods aesthetic > Voidwalker++ purple slop. Now that Kith’ix is back, it really sealed for me how the Lovecraftian theming is just so much better than purple void blob ghosts. Even if it’s “nothing new”.
Coldest take of all time warning—and maybe doing Old God stuff again for the Void Lord threat would have been played out or boring to some, not sure.
BUT now that we got Kith’ix back…man I really wish all this Void stuff would have been just the classic Lovecraftian Old God bugs and tentacle monster type vibes instead of these amorphous boring purple “ghosts”, à la “everything is a Voidwalker now.”
Like sure, we could have had some of the standard “Voidwalker” vibes for some enemies, but we really needed a mix of the Old God style ones as well.
We had the storyline of the Light “infesting” and twisting life in the Eversong Woods—it would have been the perfect bookend to then bring the Void back in that same organic, Cronenberg / The Thing / Cthulhu gross monsters as well alongside those mutants, showing that these are truly otherworldly unknowable powers, both the Void but also the Light, and that we actually don’t really understand them at all.
I get they wanted to do a different “vibe” with the pure Void this time. But fighting “Voidwalker variant #27” just isn’t it. Blending the two groups of baddies would have been so much better than pure void. The little post story after the raid explains how >!Kith’ix betrays the Old Gods to follow Xally!<, so it even makes sense.
I would have greatly preferred Xally to have a coalition of minions and pawns instead of just pure void…especially considering she’s gathering the Azeroth Infinity Stones. It would make sense for her to have followers of every “element type” she captured. Including even the Light.
