    Wow, this is some list. Does this mean we’re getting an article for each dot point? I feel spoiled if that’s the case…

    Oh, man. If you manage to write a post mortem for all this, I’d buy it as a book.

    Looking forward to Rhyolith (my most hated heroic boss of all time) and of course the warlock overhaul! Hope you find the time to continue these.

    Armchair incentive design analysis is a hobby of mine, so I’m going to be especially curious about your efforts on Wintergrasp. Lots of interesting topics!

    The more I think about it, the more I realize that the Warlock overhaul was the epitome of pure class design in WoW. Three completely differentiated specs that fit a theme, each with a distinct playstyle, novel raid utility, and a bad ass questline. It’s a shame they won’t do the same for the other pures. Excited to read more about it. Also, Murozond would’ve been an amazing raid boss.
