WoW
What content do you most enjoy in an MMO?
I'll be up front -- I thought the Mission Table was the best innovation in Warlords of Draenor. Now, many years later, the news that it won't be in Dragonflight fills me with a kind of joy I wasn't aware I was capable of feeling -- a boisterous, almost terrifyingly primal exultation, like unto that you would expect to feel just before you started singing and a musical number just sort of happens.
How to get all the time-sensitive rewards from the Primal Storms event as it wreaks havoc across Azeroth
The Primal Storm events are limited-time zone assaults to celebrate the arrival of the second Dragonflight pre-patch -- similar to the ones from the Legion pre-patch -- and a great way to level your low level toons, and also gear up your level 60 characters as well.
How should Blizzard handle Allied Race restrictions in Dragonflight?
The first Allied Races we got were unlockable by doing Legion content, and the others all required Battle for Azeroth unlocks, which means as of Dragonflight we're talking two or three expansions ago. World of Warcraft certainly seems to be trying to make leveling easier and more streamlined, but that also makes those older expansion unlocks for Allied Races more and more extraneous, in my opinion.
How have you been feeling about the Dragonflight pre-patch and all its events?
Honestly I've really enjoyed the Primal Storms so far, and I got one of my Warriors from level 50 to 57 in under two hours this week.

WoW's Dragonflight Primal Storms pre-expansion event is now live! Though we're still a couple of weeks away from Dragonflight launch day on November 28, the pre-patch event gives us a lot to do — even if you aren't spending the day customizing and leveling a new Dracthyr.
