A Wo🌟rld of Warcraft developer has confirmed that🌟 The War Within's beta rewarding players with appearance items linked to the race they're playing was actually a bug, and it'll be fixed.

Back when The War Within was in beta, players were somewhat pleasantly surpri🧜sed with the fact that their characters were rewarded with cosmetic items that they couldn't equip. Elves were being granted items for quests that🤪 only dwarves could kit themselves out in, for example, but it turns out this was all a mistake on the part of World of Warcraft.

, in response to a player writing that they were able to get items for a race unrelated to their character. The responses from Blizzard forum users to the revelation from the developer isn't positive.

"That is enormously disappointing. I was extremely excited to do a Loremaster and gain all the quest reward mogs this way. I feel very deflated now," reads one response. "Unfortunately we created a good thing that everyone liked. It is now been fixed and removed. Have a bad day," adds another forum user mim༺icking Blizzard's response.

Some users are confused, because they percꦗeived comments made from associate game director Morgan Day back in May to point to quests rewarding players with all rewards. "Quest will continue to grant the transmog and should be retroactive," Morgan said when asked about cross-armor type rewards, but it now seems like developer was speaking more about general armor transmog instead.

World of Warcraft: The War Within finally launches later this month on August 26, and Blizzard already said it's making big changes to the Radiant Echoes event so that it spawns more regula🌊rly, and in multiple locations.

Months after Xbot shut down lean teams, Microsoft reportedly forms a "smaller" studio to create AA games based on Blizzard IP.
