I would be 100% okay with that.
Edit: PTR is live, Vulpera and Mecha Gnomes can be made.
Vulpera have a crazy campfire racial, that acts as a thing you can hearth back to
The goblin racial armor quest should just be you killing gallywix and replacing him. Become a faction leader cuz why not.
Sad about islands because now they're kinda fun. I'd like them to be reworked into something else in the future but I totally get why they'd ditch them. Everything else? Bye Felicia.
I was hoping to see essences become account bound or something but I guess that ship has sailed. All my alts will only have 1 or 2. Not doing that shit again.
In the past, haven't big system overhauls sometimes been unearthed via datamining? I feel like PTR datamining on a newer build in the coming days/weeks could reveal something like this and surprise us all (account-wide essences, or more realistically, a strong catch-up mechanism for alts)

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: There are few who can resist N'Zoth's whispers, but those who do are doomed to fall under Dark Inquisitor Xanesh's wrath. A mastermind of torture, Xanesh prides herself on slowly peeling the sanity from of her victims until they have been carved into true worshippers of the Black Empire.
- This is the boss shown to be torturing Azshara, with torturing tools being part of the encounter.
What stream should I be watching? The PTR datamining one?
All I see is a Vulpera shaman totem. lol

Let's wait and see what the Rummage [not yet implemented] Vulpera one turns out to be.
Racial abilities are one of my favorite things in WoW. Using yourself as an anvil or setting your own personal hearth are just amazing.
That and the survival kit would make a Vulpera super fun to level.
The Make Camp has to share a cooldown with your hearthstone, right? Otherwise these guys just became the most efficient race in WoW.
A Vulperan Mage will be unstoppable.So this means they can set up a custom hearth location, basically? I like it!
I still think Mages/ports outclass them on the ultimate global mobility scale. Haha.
Would it be hilarious if the Vulperan mount was...a large fox?
Or.... a Sethrak?
Yeah, I don't doubt that this is getting a limited art budget at this point while they pour everything else into 9.0. I love the Black Empire architecture and the raid looks great, so that's probably some stuff that's getting backported... Black Empire expansion seems more and more likely now.8.3 seems like it was made in a really economical way. Lots of re-used models and environments, similar to Dragon Soul in 4.3. I like the idea of revisiting older zones and having new stuff happen in them, especially for expansion zones that I love as much as those in MoP, but I can't help but feel that this update is Blizzard cutting their losses and moving on from BFA in terms of investment/budget.
I am happy that Vale of the Eternal Blossom is being restored to look pretty again though.
All the freebie gear seems to be starting around 430 this time, but that may just be because Wrathion's cloak is special.So with a new PVP season and raid tier. Wonder what the new base level of gear will be (currently 380). It's the last gear jump until the next XP for sure.
There is Sylvanas dialog with Azshara.
Edit: Oh wowowow, spoilers
No more Warcheifs for Horde, there is now a council with Baine, Thrall, etc.
Okay wow, so Sylvanas
Made a deal to give Azshara what she needed to free N'Zoth, so he would be vulnerable. But in return, Sylvanas wanted Azshara to kill all of us.
Also we apparently approach
Lillian Voss
To be the new leader of the Forsaken, but
She declines, saying there is someone better suited for it.

And now we hear from Tyrande.
