Blizzard is working flat out to fix the World of Warcraft Errors that occurred with the Battle for Azeroth expansion. While the fan base is on the Livestream with World of Warcraft Game Director Ion Hazzikostas waiting on Tuesday, there is already a first bluepost about the tuning of the Azerite items.
