Today's list of hotfixes is pretty short, but there are a few major issues that have been addressed.

In addition, events in Ashran are no longer on individual timers -- events are now randomly selected at regular intervals.

Totem Talk: The strange relationship between Enhancement and totems
by Eliot Lefebvre on March 19, 2015 at 7:00pm
If you were so inclined, you could argue that totems were counting down the hours until they got removed from the game as soon as Enhancement was made a viable spec in The Burning Crusade.

Breakfast Topic: How do you prefer to get your Seals of Fate?
by Matthew Rossi on March 19, 2015 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi
I find that the only use I have for Apexis Crystals is to turn them into Seals of Fate, but that by far isn't the most popular way among people I know, who seem to vastly prefer using honor points. This has me wondering how you go about getting your Seals.
