What makes you try out a game mode?
Yesterday I was feeling a little down about LFR but as the Dwarves say "Khaz'goroth doesn't close a forge without opening a keg" so I'm now getting ready to send a toon into Mythic+ dungeons in preparation for Season 2.
When do you give up on a game mode?

What did you think of the Diablo 4 reveals at IGN Fan Fest this weekend?
IGN Fan Fest 2023 was this weekend, and while the event isn't close to being as big of a deal as Comic-Con or Summer Game Fest, it does provide a niche service for nerd-friendly properties due to arrive before the big summer events start.

Patch 10.0.7 Dragonriding changes: New abilities bring mid-air braking to Dragonriding
Dragonriding has been one of the key features of Dragonflight, the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, and while there are some ways it could be improved, it seems to be generally well-received (albeit more so after all the Glyphs have been collected).
How do you feel about mid-expansion reworks like what Ret Paladins are getting in 10.0.7?
The complete rework of the talent system in the leadup to Dragonflight had a major impact on many playstyles in World of Warcraft, as the former limited set of options was replaced by extensive trees that not only hearkened back to the Classic style but also expanded them considerably.
What rewards are you planning to get from the February Trading Post?
Dragonflight's big feature in patch 10.0.5 is the Trading Post, a new monthly system where being subbed and playing the game gives you the opportunity to pick up some cool cosmetic items.
