Here's some replies from Blizzard Poster Fangtooth from some questions asked on the Blizzard forums:

Server Horde/Alliance Numbers
Ordinn said that he would get an update with a realistic server population figures a long time ago. That has never come. This topic comes up dozens of times an hour outlining the same thing. False Promise it seems.

A: I will follow up with Ordinn about this.

Mage/Priest Compiled Issues
Both of these classes have been promised a compiled list of issues with them would be created to match the warlock, druid, and warrior attention the community managers have given them.

A: The Priest write up is in the editing phases. I have compiled the information from the forums, discussed it with the dev team, and written up the first draft to get back to the forums. It takes time though because I have to make sure I understood everything from the devs, I have to make sure the information is still accurate, etc.

Eyonix is still waiting to hear back on some of the questions dealing with the Mages.

Hunter Bugs/Issues
Blizzard hasn't even confirmed the aspect of the hawk bug that is easy to identify and reproduce, let alone a 40 page thread filled with bugs and issues with the hunter class. Blizzard has ignored hunters altogether and largely has left them in the dark.

A: I believe this is something we are investigating. I will try to have a follow up to this sometime next week.

Nothing being done to "fix" Warlocks
Blizzard has acknowledged that Warlocks have several class issues. However, in the recent Coming Soon update nothing was promised to them. Time will tell if the patch reflects the Coming Soon page.

A: Eyonix has not forgotten about the Warlocks. He is still working with the dev team.

Lack of Endgame content/no content patches
There is a huge lack of endgame content. Many level 60 players are quitting because they are bored or disappointed with the lack of new material. It is a general consensus that playing the same instances over and over again is very boring. It's been nearly 3 months since the last real content patch, and many players are feeling they were ripped off. Battlegrounds is too far off for players to remain interested in the game.

A: In the upcoming patches we will be releasing some new high end content. You can see a sneak peak on our Under Development page.

Cross-faction mounts and reputation
It is far too difficult to achieve another factions mounts. By doing a factions quests alone there is not enough to get to exhalted. For repeatable quests it would take an impossible amount of time. Another player estimated 1.7 years of actual played time doing the morrowgrain quests to achieve exhalted and another factions mount. Eyonix said he would confer with the developers about this, but no follow-up has been given.

A: I know we are aware of this issue but I have not heard anything back.

Epic Mount Graphics
Other than the undead mount graphics, mostly all users feel the epic mounts look kind of poor for paying 900g. It is widely believed that this area is incomplete. Many players are concerned that once they buy their epic mount another new mount will come out and theirs will be stale. Blizzard ignores this issue for the most part.

A: This has been brought up to the development team. I have no other information at this time.

Queues
Many players find this unacceptable, and many topics have been created because of it. We were promised that when we purchased this game that queues wouldn't exist forever, but we are still experiencing them. It is often debated that queues are a necessary measure for our playing experience.

A: The queues are in place to keep the majority of the players on the realm running smoothly. We are constantly working to increase playability on all realms.

Server Transfers
Blizzard has announced over and over that they are planning on allowing a one-time server transfer. Hwoever, they have been planning this for months. It should not take Blizzard this long to allow this feature. Many believe it has been forgotten about altogether.

A: This is still something we are looking into. I have no other information at this time.

Important Issues not being (hot)fixed
As more and more players have reached level 60, more and more and visiting the molten core encounter. Many bugs have arised with this instance and players are becoming upset that they are being locked out due to bugs and that their time has been wasted.

A: Please continue to report all bugs to our Bug Report forum and let the GMs know if it is a game hampering issue.
