World of Warcraft's next major patch will let you drift in a car '4 to 5 times faster' than a normal ground mount, all while learning 'more about goblin culture than ever before'

Wtf even is world of Warcraft anymore?
- Well, to put it succinctly:
- Warcraft 3 had helicopters and tanks, so cars aren't all that crazy.
This sounds like a jump the shark moment
- WoW jumped the shark 2-3 expansions ago but now that Kotick is gone, it's been coming back. The devs are actually allowed to work on things they and the players want.
  I was a hater but I actually love the current expansion and am looking forward to this. They stole skyriding from Guild Wars and we've been asking them to keep going - a ground mount upgrade to make it worthwhile over flying sounds awesome to me.
  
  I came back recently too and honestly it feels great. Having so much fun. They don't have the frustrating gimmicks that defined previous expansions, the new talent trees are really well made, the gear drops are fun and interesting.
  It's a bit worrying for me to be getting pulled into wow again, I thought I was safe...
- No, they jumped the shark with the Kung Fu Panda expansion. That was about a decade ago.
  
  MoP wound up being one of the best expansions tho.
- Eh, it's about right for goblins though. Their racial mount is a motorcycle and they've built mechs, it'd honestly be weird if they couldn't make cars.
Why are there cars?
- We've had motor vehicles in wow since.... Lich King I think? At least. Since release if you count mecha chickens
  
  not that i play wow but shredders too
- Because there have been motor vehicles in Warcraft since forever.

I guess there are trucks in World of Warcraft
Coming soon to Diablo 4!
Have we gone full circle to Rock N Roll Racing?
So after yoinking the sky scale mount from guild wars for their dragons, they are now going to yoink the roller beetle too, gotcha
- gw2 is amazing 🥰
- Griffin, not Skyscale
  
  Fair enough, I heard there was gliding involved. Freaking love the griffin movement, I respect wanting to copy it
Don't advertise this microsoft shit thanks.
