Hotfixes, piping hot. And what's in those hotfixes, you may ask? Well, I'm glad you did. Because if you hadn't, rhetorical reader, I wouldn't be able to inform you that, in addition to the trap stealing hotfix we mentioned earlier:

• Spawn rates for Direfang Alpha, Ironhide Bull, and Wetland Trampler has increased slightly. This change requires a realm restart.
• Alliance and Horde PvP vendors in Ashran now have collision boxes, so it should be easier for players to buy stuff.
• Hand of Protection should now interrupt players that are in the process of capturing a point in the Battlegrounds.
• A whole host of class fixes and changes.

Come with us under the shadow of this small jump to see what's going on.
