This is my second year purchasing the Virtual Ticket. I knew there was no big Warcraft announcement. In fact, I was more excited about the Overwatch announcement of Sombra than anything else. Unlike last year, the streaming performance was flawless. Maybe because I was simply streaming this on my work desktop :-O (and not a wifi attached laptop), maybe because Blizz has up'd the streaming quality.
My Biggest Complaints:
Hard to Watch while Live. When it was playing Live (aka "Hall D") it was hard to pause and go back. I wanted to grab a screenshot of the warlock mount, going back 30 seconds, is virtually impossible on the live stream. Instead I spent 5 minutes, skipping back and forth approximately half an hour of the video coverage looking for a 10 second video clip. Sigh.. With it paused, the video grey's out, making my screenie rather useless. A DVR-style 30-second rewind button would have been awesome! Bookmarks to each of the various segments ( Overwatch Q&A, What's new in Warcraft, etc.) instead of an 8 hour long video would have been awesome!
Lots of interesting non-streaming content. I get that it's important that your site reflects the entire conference schedule, but what I'd absolutely love is a filter button up top that wouldn't have shown me the Art and Design or Blizzard Engineering sessions. As an IT engineer, I really was looking forward to peeks at the back-end of Blizzard's infrastructure and design. Then when the reminder popped on the BlizzCon app and I couldn't watch it?!?!
No Closing Ceremonies. I was really looking forward to sharing the Weird Al concert with my family. We've seen a number of his videos on Youtube, but I've never had the opportunity to see him perform 'live'. I planned to have everyone huddle around the big computer monitor (or hook laptop to TV in family room) and all jam. Sadly. Nope. Nothing. While I understand the performance issues with broadcasting the concert, I am still deeply saddened that I can't share this with my kids.

What is your favorite expansion of warcraft and why do you think its your favorite? Wrath of the Lich King would have to be my absolute favorite. I started with WoW a few months before BC.

Yesterday, Ythisens posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward. For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc. Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature developm
IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted. I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them. I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring. I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers. Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra
