please fix archeology

Do you think they really know the date? What answer are you expecting? "Well on Monday everything will be done"? I apologise of course, but if that hasnt been fixed yet *i guess for such things there would be some kind of announcement* then they cant have an ETA. I do not think that any of us (meaning me and you) know how difficult is it to fix things, since these fixes might break something else. It will be fixed when it will be fixed, not sooner, not later. It is not that they intentionaly DONT want you to get these things.

How about wintergrasp in wotlk realms?

No plans for that anytime soon, has been answered multiple times.

When will MoP be patched to 5.4.8 ?

it depends on many factors, two examples being:
a) how long will it take to fix them?
b) how fast will guilds get it completely on farm?

[Valkaria]

about Mop:

Are there any plans to script the farm in Valley of the Four Winds? Players need it to cultivate crops and use them to raise cooking to 600 and make banquets.

[Pibels]

Why Rogues are NOT getting any attention in WotLK?
They should be one of the best DPS classes in the whole expansion, but at the moment Rogues are the worst.
All of the bugs have been on BugTracker for 3 years now, Which makes Rogue class bugs Longest standing bugs in Molten/Warmane history, due to getting most minimal attention by the devs.

Yes, this is serious question and waiting proper answer.
By the way "soon as possible", Is not proper answer, that's what we have been hearing about Armory since the Warmane launch, still nothing.

[Deathmastered]

I hope any of staff will correct me where I'm wrong but I'll try answering few earlier answered ones.

1. Is there any chance to make a poll to the players to decide what they want? PvE or PvP realm? The majority of the players on Frostwolf aren't pvping all the time, and noone likes gankers except gankers... 80 : 20 maybe... It would be awsome if you at least make a toggle option to turn off or on pvp. Me and a lot of ppl seriously hate world pvp while questin / farming / doing anything but pvp... Ty

2. You can see from the bug tracker old instances are a big priority! We don't want them scripted, we just want them run! Can you just take in the instances as boss-dummyes for us. We just want to be there... with lvl 90 chars there isn't a real reason to make the bosses fully working.

3. Professions: Non of the spirit of hamrony crafting stuffs are working... I mean those crafting opions what you can craft a daily material sooner... Imperial cloth, living steel, etc. When will you add them?

4. There are a lot of recipies what you could train from the trainer on 5.4 like the zen alchemyst stone, and still you need to farm it from world drop like it was 5.0... Pls fix it!

5. Archeology? Why is that so big deal to make it work?

6. Lorewalkers faction reputation? Any plans to make it work?

7. Landfall and the whole 5.1 content? seriously...

8. Legendary questlines... all of them bugged and this is an important bug...

9. What do you planing on making your progress faster? I know the robot answer that quality work needs time and we don't want to give out half scripted content etc etc... But You have a serious team of developers and still we have slow progress... If something is fixed it isn't implemented properly and breaks other 2 things... players are get used over the years on the quality. The quality what we now don't get and cannot see the turning point! I think your interest is too, to fasten things up. And give the player good quality. But still nothing happenes.

Ty for answers!

1. There was a poll for that before, yet most people chose pvp realm or didnt care, so it got closed with decision not to make any pve realms. That was in times on Molten, of course, however, with more pvpers now (merge with AT), it is even less likely. On top of that, there was something about new realm suggestions and pve realm suggestions in suggestion forum rules... I'd suggest to check them out :)
2. I believe, some of the bosses or mobs arent even placed there atm, as staff is working on current content (335/434/505?) as main priorities, not old content. Also, as you say in 9th question, that would be content added which would need fixing again.
3., 4., 5.,, 6., 7., 8. again, they do know they have to fix it, however it takes time and therefore they cant give an eta or something. They arent trying to keep it bugged, just these arent the only bugs.
9. Some fixes can break others, that is true, however quality most likely will remain priority. Oh wait... I dont even see what are you asking. Only thing they can do is look into new bugs and try to fix them aswell. There is nothing really else they can do.

After you release Eye of Eternity dungeon on WotLK will you give some attention to Ulduar ?

They did mention in one of Q&As that after EoE Ulduar might get some love too, EoE is already in testing and as we see them returning to Wrath fixes I would expect complete release of Ulduar at some point, but it isnt something for an eta (altho I'd love to hear that its in internal testing)

I got some many questions for you?

1-Do you script old raid,dungeons in near future for achievements and fun?

2-How about scenarios will you script?

3-There are so many afk people at Battlegrounds.Report afk system is useless?

4-Inbalanced classes.Overpowered Hunters,Warriors,Warlocks. Bugged Shadowpriests,Balance druids and more More fixes coming?

5-Pet battles?

6-Random crashes?

7-Toes 10/25 Switch to Master Loot Bug?

Thanks.

Again fixing questions, content will be fixed eventually, you have to give it time. They are not magicans, altho we are in World of Warcraft :D Patience is the key here for you, by telling them FIX FIX FIX PLES FIX CMON FIX you wont make the fixes come faster at all.

Why not work on the current content that is available to players.. rather than add more that needs fixing.
class fixes, raids (boss mechanics),rdf,quest chains,reputation and factions.. Its better to have the current contents worked on rather than add more which will eventually need fixing. Is this worked on?

Depends on exactly what do you mean. For example, ToT is partly already available, therefore basiccly they are fixing current content. However, part of stuff changes over patches, as you well know, so my guess would be that they are preparing already for the next patch like for the "end version of things" if that makes sense. Well, as long as you are talking of Mists, of course.

When you will start to fix the PVP issue related on Warsong ?

Been months!

Depends on which issue do you mean... Also, "when will fix" - no way to answer this except SOON TM :D

MoP:
is there any possibility of opening some legendary weapon quests up? and how about cloud serpent riding?

"Next week we also expect to apply a new patch containing lots of spell, combat and quest updates including the Cloud Serpent Riding quest chain which has been problematic for quite some time." quote from devlog.

So why not release a pvp wod realm is it's very easy to maintain and fix and AT's project 6-7months ago was fine to play even if there was no work put into it for this time period, this seems like the most rational solution and don't start with ridicilous claims that blizzard might sue the realm will have 500 players at most , and total server population is not a problem either as there are other servers with higher and they are doing just fine.
This imo is a great solution to satisfty those who want wod ,while u can still work on other expansions and to be honest to regain some reputation you lost with so many empty promises and there's a lot .... this would be the most logical move. Just my opinion.

They are working on 3 expansions already, which each has their own issues, so they are priority for now. Last I heard them talking about wod, it still does exist as a sideproject with few working on it, however it is not *and i wouldnt expect it to be anytime soon* the priority. WoD would bring more new bugs than any new-released expansion so far because of garrisons, raids, mobs, Ashran etc.

about Mop:

Are there any plans to script the farm in Valley of the Four Winds? Players need it to cultivate crops and use them to raise cooking to 600 and make banquets.

I'd guess they have plans on having everything scripted at some point, however it will take time. You see one bug as priority, others see others. It is not that they hate you and dont want you to get what you want, but what you see is not the only bug in the game.

[Omaniix]

When will you add the legendary quest line upto 5.3 content (ToT Content)?
