Some ideas I would have if I were at Blizzard:
- Demon Hunters are going to be the next expansion class.
- They finally found a way to fix flying in BC starter zones.
- A new holiday themed world boss for Nobel Garden called the "Pink Rabbit Abomination Near Kaladim" that was brought into existence by reckless and short-sighted Gnomes trying to create a new "Hare" tonic and has a chance of dropping a new pink rabbit mount and/or vanity pet. Or the acronym of it's name: P.R.A.N.K.
- Tri-specs, but that's already out there. I say it's a joke until proven otherwise after April 1st.
- Transmogrification rules being relaxed so that people can now mog their gear with Legendary quality items.
- New race models for every race out there free to download. When downloaded and you enter the game, the new "models" are just animated stick figures, regardless of race.
- The standard "backpack" in slot 1 has finally been expanded from 16 slots to 26.
- A new quest line being added that allows players to go through a long, tedious ordeal that ultimately rewards characters to switch factions while keeping their race.
- Adding new race/class combos in the form of Draenai Rogues and Warlocks, Gnome Hunters, and Pandaren Death Knights.
- A new Archeology branch that focuses on Gnomes, with the rare solves for this branch including a gun that belonged to the first (and last) Gnome Hunter and shoots lasers/lightning bolts instead of regular bullets, a Sand Gnome vanity pet, and a Mechanotank Mount.
- Tell everyone that Cross Realm Zones are going away.
- A new service that allows you to purchase levels with real life cash.
- A new expansion to the Caverns of Time that lets players go back in time and do old raids and dungeons that have been revamped over the years and acquire items from them that are no longer attainable.

I'd cry so hard if Blizz made jokes out of these ;_;
I'm betting on the 3rd talent specialization myself.

There's technically nothing broken about flying in BC starting zones. The zones were deemed recent enough and empty enough to not need the massive infrastructure overhaul required to make flying possible in old world, so they didn't change the zones at all. They were never meant to be for flying, and changing them would take a fair amount of work. I still think it's silly that they made the entire rest of Azeroth fly-worthy, but regardless, it's not broken.

I would hurt someone if they did this, just saying.
...But on the other hand, a lot of things that were once mere April Fool's jokes became
legimate in-game features in some form...

I still think the Bad Robot is part of the joke. Maybe they will spin it like JJ Abrams is doing the movie now and if you preorder tickets, youll get the Bad Robot pet or something. I doubt Tri-spec is at this point due to GC mentioning it. It may not make it to the game, but I don't think itll be a joke.

I'd like to see this implemented seriously. It would be a fairly large culture shock, but perfectly doable in my opinion. We have plenty of precedent in game for races friendly to both sides anyway, both with players and npcs.

The first joke (by Vaanel/Intaanis) already rolled in:
Even if it's a joke, I do have to admit he looks rather pimpin'!

It's a teasing new Lor'themar model (fake). I love his scar.

Angry Crabby
is my favorite thing so far:
Actually, that's a rarity; he's usually his helpful self.
CLICK ON HIM FOR AN ASSORTMENT OF HATS. <3
Okay, never mind; the hats
are the best.
NEVER MIND, I AM NOW TOTALLY SMITTEN:
I would seriously be incredibly happy if he were turned into an in-game minipet who occasionally spouted off things like this.
And now he is making the sad eyes. T_T
