To each his own, I guess. I think they're awesome! :)

A few weeks ago, Blizz fixed the duckfaces on BE males. The most recent build has now fixed them on VE males

PCGamesN had an interview with Production Direcfor John Hight. In it, he revealed that they originally intended for Zandalari to be available before launch, but ultimately decided that we needed to earn their trust first.

Wildhammers could become an allied race.

Races like Vulpera and Sethrak could become allied races. He noted that they put things into the data to lay the foundation for future plans, and dataminers are really good at finding this stuff.

I'm with you. I love what they've done with female Dark Irons. I think those punk hairstyles really suit their character, and really make them for me.

I'm glad they chose to wait. I think in their efforts to keep things interesting during the quiet times at the end of expansions that they sometimes use assets from the upcoming expansion when they maybe shouldn't, in that the new expansion design can feel too familiar before it's even released. The worst was probably before Draenor, where a whole Pandaria patch of fiery orc war machines meant we were over the Iron Horde before we even met it, but that was an extreme example. I can understand the reasons they do it, but at times I wonder if the benefit of using assets so early (as well as the heavy saturation of beta videos, which are more prevalent now than ever before) has a later cost of people getting tired of it faster.

I completely agree. Fortunately, it looks like the pre xpac event will have nothing to do with Kul Tiras or Zandalar, so there won't be that exposure to anything from those areas. And I am quite glad that Blizz decided to make each of the new zones feel rather unique from one another (imo). That will help with preventing any sort of fatigue, which was already being felt by the time that we got to Argus.
