Quality-of-Life Improvements Coming in Curse of Ula'tek
Since the 12.0.5 content update, we’ve been building on your feedback by making targeted improvements to enhance the play experience. Recent hotfixes, along with changes in Midnight: Revelations, have already addressed some issues with rewards, looting, quest experience, and durability loss.
More updates are planned in the Curse of Ula’tek content update, including account-wide user interface settings, Auction House improvements, a one-time Profession Knowledge reset, and fixes for common combat and travel issues.
In Curse of Ula'tek and beyond, we’ll continue looking for ways to make World of Warcraft easier to navigate and more enjoyable to play. We deeply appreciate all of your feedback on ways we can improve the World of Warcraft player experience and will continue to make efforts to address these improvement opportunities as they arise.
