Greetings, readers. Another WoW Q&A has come and gone and I’ve been going over all the questions and answers. Due to several emails saying there’s a better way I could be doing this instead of telling people to watch the stream, that I should do it like Wowhead and MMO-Champion do it.
However, I think I got a better idea. I’ll combine that with a new plugin I installed just for this, to hide or show the Q&A’s questions and answers.
Let me know what you guys think of this, alright?

Author’s note: I will be completely overhauling this post for a better system of doing Q&A’s. When is done is unknown to me, for I’ll be busy with a few things elsewhere.
Until then, I’ll keep this page as-is.
The stream will start 15 minutes later than originally said on the website, due to today being Veteran’s Day (and it was their way of respecting them). And in a way, this was also good on my end. It was 9 minutes away from the stream and I had my computer off, and it takes 10+ minutes to boot.
Be sure to submit your questions before the stream happens by using the methods I mentioned in the post below this one, and you can watch the stream as it happens on twitch.tv/warcraft.
The Q&A happened at 2:16pm EST.
Three things that are important to note they started answering questions;
1. The 7.1.5 PTR, Ion hopes to have it out early next week; stating the reason for the delay is because they’re testing hotfixes for clientside stability issues.
2. Argus is not..repeat NOT the next expansion. It is future Patch 7.3. This was asked during the Q&A, and Ion also ‘leaked’ out “Argus for 7.3” before the questions were read. But this clarification is good. Was strongly thinking of doing a blog post about this. Now I don’t need to.
3. They would like to do a new Q&A mid-December and that they enjoy doing these.
So as for the questions and answers, they were mostly about Legendaries and Mythic+, with some about artifact weapon appearances. Once again, my question wasn’t answered. At this time, I feel it’ll never be answered. I just don’t understand why this question keeps being ignored (and not posted enough for Blizzard to pay attention).
That question is the forced dungeons. What’s odd is I’m not seeing anyone bitching about it anymore in General Discussion. Though it also should be obvious, either they learned to deal with it, have quit, or have given up trying to get the WoW dev team to listen. Reforging and Legendaries seem to be the ways people are bitching now.
Anyway, one of these questions did catch my eye, and it’s someone else who was a bit shocked over this news that in 7.2 of Legion’s dungeons to be made more difficult. However, there is good news to this.
Here’s the question and Ion’s response;
Q: At BlizzCon, you stated that Heroic and Mythic dungeons will be upgraded to fit the new raid tier in 7.2. Does that mean new level 110 characters will not have access to dungeons until being geared up much better?
———————-
His answer wasn’t really welcoming, with him saying Yes to “spam run Normals”. However to help alts and new players in 7.2, “we’re planning to bump the item reward of Normals to 825.” They’re hoping players will run more Normals to gear up instead of going for World Quests and moving to Heroics and Mythics.
For a ‘normal’ standpoint, this is good. Making the item level higher to be able to tackle Heroics (and LFR) faster than ever before, yes. I like it.
But from a anti-social person’s standpoint, I don’t like it. That’s forcing more dungeons down our throats. And it would take even longer to get up to 7.2’s content. Thankfully it’s only an option.
So I’ll leave you with the Q&A recap. Honestly, it’s better for you guys to watch it for yourselves than to see a huge post from me. And I believe that’s what I’m going to do for all future Q&As.
It’s a lot less stressful on my end, and you guys won’t have to wait for my slow hands to type. Speaking travels a lot faster than typing them in a blog post, trying to listen in my head of what was said and then figure out how to make the question and answer as the most compact as I can get it (while they’re still talking). Soon they’re on the 3rd question while I’m still typing the first! Plus I had more delays from the real world (seems to happen everytime something like this pops up).
It’s a lot of work. And it’s not really worth the stress.
Anyway, here’s the streams.
