Blizzard is in the midst of resolving the WoTLK Gold fallout from an unnamed state of California lawsuit accusing Activision Blizzard of fostering a "frat boy" workplace where the discrimination of women and harassment is common. These accusations have led to the departure of Blizzard president J. Allen Brack and HR head Jesse Meschuk, as well as changes to the game's interface that led to the elimination of NPCs and items named for an ex- WoW game director explicitly mentioned within the suit.

WoW Burning Crusade Classic's newest PTR Build Live and removes the ability to Spit on players

World of Warcraft : Burning Crusade Classic's latest patch is now live in the games Public Test Realm, allowing players to test out two new raids, in the form of Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep and features like guild banks , guilds and an application for group browsing.

The beta version of patch 2.5.2 also seems to be inexplicably missing an emote specifically, the /spit emoticon directed at other players. Since the introduction of Blizzard's MMO players have been in a position to spit towards other characters or players by hitting them with /spit. This no longer works with the latest PTR version, however players are still able to buy WoTLK Gold make use of the emote when on the ground.
