Ghostcrawler on Is there room for min/max players?
The question was asked on this (and other issues) if it was OP before why did it take so long to nerf it?
Usually the answer is some combination of the following (and not just with regard to JC):
- It was only slightly OP until players really started gearing up with new combinations of items that things get out of control.
- We had a long-term plan to do something differently and decided either that plan was going to get bumped or we couldn’t wait for its implementation.
- We have a really long list of changes we want to make to WoW. Some things just take awhile to get to. More critical issues do get bumped to the top, but sometimes it still takes us a bit to agree on the right change and often bug fixes get even higher priority than design changes.
If you see something that seems off, chances are good that we do too but just haven’t gotten to it yet.

For now, all we can say is that we are actively looking into solutions for the lag issues in Wintergrasp, and will continue to implement measures while looking into other possible solutions that might help alleviate the issue.
They are currently in the practice halls, limbering up and performing pre-performance preparations. The show’s going to be sweet.
Wowmatrix responded the bandwidth issues mentioned by Curse and WoWInterface.
Also WOWInsider has interviewed with Kalgan about 3.2. Here’s a quick summary (taken from Worldofraids)
- A new battleground is being introduced in 3.2!
- The Argent Tournament was designed as an “Azerothian event” because the team felt the game lacked enough events true to the story; most are for real world holidays.
- 3.2 is going to expand on the Argent Tournament, but what extent it plays beyond that is undecided.
- 3.2 is also going to add more content for the Argent Crusade (Ashbringer storyline?)
- Don’t expect tri-specs or anything else; dual specs were added because it felt like a necessity due to how many different end-games people participate in
- New dances and druid forms are still being worked on
- They’re both happy and unhappy with Wintergrasp. It’s the direction they want to go with world PvP, but they’re not quite there yet in being able to support such drastic differences in player numbers at one time.
- Housing is something Kalgan likes from other MMOs, but they still aren’t sure it fits in WoW.
