WoW: Gigantic hotfix package from December 20, 2022 for many areas
The December 20, 2022 hotfixes in WoW: Dragonflight are truly legendary in scale. No wonder, after all, the developers are working on several areas of the game in detail. There are, for example, the many balance adjustments for classes – both in PvE and in PvP. Or the countless changes in the dungeons of Mythic+. On top of that, there are lots of fixes for crafting, which the developers also want to free from other exploits. Among other things, a trick that has existed since the release, with which you could simply farm reputation with the artisan consortium – it now disappears because you can only get reputation from two professions via weekly quests. The full patch notes can be found on the next two pages.
