The hotfix has been implemented on the live realms. Visiting profession traders should now be on a daily rotation. *Crosses talons the fur trader isn't first in the rotation.* (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)



Flight Path Logic

One specific flight path that I notice from doing the jukebox quest is trying to fly from the piece you get at Pinchwhistle to Everbloom to get the piece there. The flight path connects through a series of points that goes in a western arc through the middle of Talador then up through Gorgrond when it could easily have gone through a straighter path north.

This one surprised me, and you don't have to point all the way to Everbloom. In recreating what you did, I went to Pinchwhistle and hovered over Beastwatch, and saw the issue.



Thank you for the good example. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

To add: it is something we’re keeping an eye on for the future as we see how players interact with the Heirloom system. (WarcraftDevs)



are Don Carlos's Famous Hat and the River Boat good candidates for the toy box?

Not at this time, but thank you for the suggestions. What other things would you like to see as toys? (WarcraftDevs)



- might've missed my last one - any chance of Illusion: Soulfrost and Illusion: Sunfire making it to the game ? Maybe in 6.1 ?

Not in 6.1. We’re excited by the potential of the Illusion system & always happy to hear which ones players might enjoy, though! (WarcraftDevs)



Reputation / Questing

Frostwolf Orcs and Council of Exarchs rep achievs are per-character, but show up on opposite faction, is this fixed in 6.1?

Not in 6.1, but we're aiming to have this fixed in 6.2. (WarcraftDevs)



World

Can you fix the female troll with a female orc voice in the dmf plz...She is the first troll juggler when you enter.

This is fixed in 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)



Garrisons

are the followers recruited via the Inn finite? eg will always picking Magic Debuff eventually exhaust that pool of followers?

Finite, but there are a whole lot of them. It would take you over a year of recruiting to get all of the Magic Debuff followers. (WarcraftDevs)



Why is my level 94 DK not getting Highmaul follower missions even though it has enough 645 ilevel followers?

Cache missions will join the rotation once you hit level 100. (WarcraftDevs)

Why cache missions but not all the other gear ones, though?

Cache missions are based upon your progress in the various raid instances. (WarcraftDevs)
