9.2 is coming, and we will hear about it soon.They will be talking about the conclusion of Shadowlands in more detail in the future.If Jaina and Thrall are working together, why can't the players? Cross-faction raiding is a bit more on the radar now.9.1.5 reflects a shift toward more accessibility and letting go of old lessons instilled on the team from the past that don't necessarily reflect the way that the game is enjoyed today.Ion acknowledges that they should have reacted to player feedback earlier about conduit energy, and knows that they can do better about communicating not only that we are being heard, but why things are not necessarily implemented or changed right away.9.1.5 was born out of the team being allowed to pitch ideas and try out things that they think will make the game more fun.There has been a lot of work towards allowing more open communication and feedback within the team about things going into the game.They don't want WoW to be for a niche audience.


In the end, the team wants WoW to be a positive place to escape the trials and tribulations of the world.The WoW team is also working closesly with the Overwatch team to try and catch toxicity in game right away without relying so much on manual reporting.The team understands that they aren't fixing systemic injustice by these changes, but why not do it in tandem with working on larger cultural community.These changes did not take away from development time and would likely have gone unnoticed if they weren't spotlighted from datamining.
