After a long holiday break, we have a brand new round of hotfixes for Warlords of Draenor. Tonight's hotfixes are primarily class balance and quality-of-life changes, along with an extension to the 10th Anniversary event. Some highlights:

• Dwarven Bunker/War Mill: Players can now accrue as many Iron Horde Scraps as they want.
• Lumber Mill: Players can now accrue as much Timber as they want.
• Various Nitrogg Thundertower nerfs in Grimrail Depot
• Various rogue buffs

Those are the ones that interest me most, anyway. It will be nice to spend a night stockpiling Timber rather than needing to venture out every few days to replenish my stack of 250. Nitrogg Thundertower was also leaps and bounds more difficult than anything else found in dungeons if you're in a random group.

The full hotfixes can be found below.
