Welcome to the World of Warcraft "Ask the Devs" global Q&A. In this thread we'll be collecting questions from you to have answered by our developers. We'll be asking for your question each time a new Ask the Devs Questions thread goes up, having the community vote on them, and posting the answers we receive approximately one week later.


[Status]
OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Please post your questions about TANKING for the WoW developers here, and please vote for your favorite questions.

Here's how this works:

* Starting at the time this thread is made you can post your World of Warcraft question for the developers.

* When the thread hits the cap (500 posts) no more questions will be allowed.

* About a day later, we'll lock the thread, meaning no more votes will be possible.

* We'll pick out posts with the most votes, collect them with questions from the other regions, and get answers to be posted the following week.

* This process will continue on, with a new question thread going up (weather permitting) and the answers to the previous questions being posted shortly thereafter.



Rules

* One question per post.

* If your question is answered your character name will be displayed alongside the question.

* Discussion posts are not allowed! If you don't have a question for our developers, you should not post in this thread.

* You can vote for questions at any time while the thread is unlocked.

* A highly rated post does not mean it will be answered, but we'll do our best to answer as many questions as possible.

* Down votes don't count.



Tips

* Don't post or vote for questions you know we won't answer. We're not going to use these Q&As to announce new features, expansions, or release dates, etc. By the same token, we're not going to answer questions that touch on subjects outside of the game and its design.

* Stay on topic! We?re asking for questions regarding a specific topic, if your question isn?t on that topic it?ll probably be down-voted to obscurity by other posters, and more than likely deleted by us.

* Keep your question concise. One to three sentences should be plenty to explain background and ask a question.

* Vote for any and all questions you would like to see answered.

* All votes count. While you can't see vote #'s, we can. Even if a post is highly rated, your vote still means something to that question (potentially) being answered.
