"Does "EXP rebalanced to no longer heavily favor Battlegrounds at the higher levels" mean BG exp was nerfed or that other sources of exp were buffed?"
- Unfortunately no, we just noticed that BG experience was not scaling down with level as most other types of experience are which caused the 50-60 bracket of PvP to be on average 50% faster than all other forms of leveling.

"Any word on fixes to the broken pets/recipes/etc from Moonwhisper Coast? Also, any estimated date for restoring missing faction vendors/gear?"
- Is there a bug tracker ticket for this? I don't see one other than https://octowow.st/bug-report?id=113 in terms of faction gear vendors/gear that is missing. If not please make one so that we can accurately track and resolve this. We are aware of a few more bugs with the moonwhisper content that will get resolved soon, but if it is not in the bug tracker we are not aware of it.

"Is Way of The Samurai going to get some love soon?"
- I certainly hope so, I have some things I want to add to it but have been too busy with all the other operations to personally get to work on it. I may hand things off to another dev if I don't get free time soon for it.

Hey Kestreln, I have done a few in-game bug reports regarding Moonwhisper Coast. A recipe rewarded from quest (Fried Strider with Berries) did not show up in the cooking log after learning it, and one of the reputation pets (Pallatinate Pebble) does not get summoned after learning. Other guildmates who have started questing there are having the exact same issues, and clearing WDB/relogging/etc does not fix them.

"Awesome thank you for linking me those!"

happy to help
good point on later phase content, some of those do actually look like catchup items. I will say though that if I remember correctly it was available on ambershire (the fresh twow server) before MC was opened. Cause I remember farming it as prebis. But maybe they made a mistake. They released a lot of stuff in phase one (pre MC) they definitely shouldn't have.

as for the missing mount from the dono store, the alliance charger, I managed to get some screenshots

I dont have any screenshots from the left side where you can see the sword
do you want me to like open a ticket for it or something?

We do have a shop revamp next on our list to tackle which will include all of the missing shop items (including this mount) thank you for the extra screenshots tho!

Please consider making the 4th stable slot and any (hopefully) potential future slots purchasable with gold (at acceptable prices). It's fine to have Boltfling or Brambleclaw the portable stable master as a shop item but not the stable slots. Also Starfeather arrows are still not in-game even though the recipe has been for a while.
