World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 4 has received a new batch of hotfixes to adjust the game balance and fix some unwarranted issues that the community has discovered. This time around, Blizzard is focusing on items, professions, and some class changes.
Although WoW SoD has had its ups and downs, it seems that the player base is somewhat satisfied with the major quality-of-life changes as well as good design choices for the open-world event, tier sets, and new runes.
