Update: Thank you all for your questions and votes! Look out for the answers soon!

Welcome to the World of Warcraft Developer Global Q&A. In this thread we'll be collecting questions from you to have answered by our developers. We'll be asking for your question each time a new Q&A Questions thread goes up, having the community vote on them, and posting the answers we receive approximately one week later.

Status: LOCKED - Thanks for your questions and votes everyone!

Here's how this works:

  • Starting at the time this thread is made you can post your World of Warcraft question for the developers.

  • Around 9:30 Tuesday Morning we're going to reply saying no more questions will be taken, and any questions beyond that point will be ignored.

  • Should the thread hit the cap (500 posts), no more questions will be allowed.

  • We'll then ask you to use the thumbs-up button to vote for any questions you'd like to see answered. (Please only vote on questions submitted before the cutoff time.)

  • Around 17:00 on Tuesday, we'll lock the thread, meaning no more votes will be possible.

  • We'll pick out posts with the most votes, collect them with questions from the other regions, and get answers to be posted the following week.

  • This process will continue on, with a new question thread going up (weather permitting) and the answers to the previous questions being posted shortly thereafter.


Rules

  • Only one question per post.

  • If your question is answered your character name will be displayed alongside the question.

  • Discussion posts are not allowed! If you don't have a question for our developers, you should not post in this thread.

  • Once the "no more questions" post is made, please refrain from making additional posts and only vote for your favorite questions.

  • You can vote for questions at any time while the thread is unlocked.

  • A highly rated post does not mean it will be answered, but we'll do our best to answer as many questions as possible.

  • Down votes don't count.


Tips

  • Don't post or vote for questions you know we won't answer. We're not going to use these Q&As to announce new features, expansions, or release dates, etc. By the same token, we're not going to answer questions that touch on subjects outside of the game and its design.

  • Stay on topic! We’re asking for questions regarding a specific topic, if your question isn’t on that topic it’ll probably be down-voted to obscurity by other posters, and more than likely deleted by us.

  • Keep your question concise. One to three sentences should be plenty to explain background and ask a question.

  • Vote for any and all questions you would like to see answered.

  • All votes count. While you can't see vote #'s, we can. Even if a post is highly rated, your vote still means something to that question (potentially) being answered.

Could we maybe get Class specific achievements? such as:
"Push 10 players of the LM cliff using Typhoon"
-->Tsuteymanga has earned the achievement "You go cliff-dive, i don't wanna" (druid)

"Transform 10 taurens into sheeps"
-->Minisizemage has earned the achievement "I dont like beef, gimme lamb instead" (mage)

"Use Hellfire to kill yourself 10 times
-->Misslock has earned the achievement "Stood in the fire......for too long" (warlock)

would be fun ey?

Will there be a way to get the Bloodsail Bucaneers and the Steamwheedle Cartel to exalted then do the quest achivements without ruining our reputation? Also is the rumour about a change to Steamwheedle Cartel quests not lowering you're Bloodsail reputation true?

will there be an achievement for 55 exalted factions and up, preferably with a cool title to show of the dedication or a nice mount where all the factions chipped in to get it for you


(picked 55, which seems to me a nice number. 50 is tiny bit too easy to reach imo)

Are we going to see more PvP achievements that reward mounts? Currently most of the cool mounts are awarded for PvE achievements.

I just want to ask, Are we going to see Class specific Achievements on the future?
Like 3v3's High Rated Paladin - With title maybe?
Or we can get it on PvE somehow..
Like Class Specific Titles with Achievements..

How come there's no additional title for people who have completed all achievements in the new (and old) Battlegrounds ? Something like "High Battlemaster" would be nice :p

Do you plan to add statistics for Cataclysm content in the achievement UI?
Currently that section is sadly totally empty.

Do you have any intentions on making the "The conqueror" or "The Justicar" achievments just a tiny bit easier? As it is now, farming the reputation with The Defilers and the Warsong outriders it willl take estimately 30 days played time to earn those, whereas the reputation with the Frostwolf clan is alot easier.
