** A fairly obscure item called the Luffa would remove any bleed effect. A boss over 20 levels later would put a hefty bleed dot on raid members at fairly regular intervals. Everyone would equip their Luffa and make Moroes a total joke. The next patch8.3, some guilds put a spell level cap on the Luffa: you couldn't remove bleed effects over level 60 anymore.
** Other such items got similar treatments, essentially turning this into standard procedure. There are many such items in ''Mists of Pandaria'' that already state that they won't work on players above level 94...long before the next expansion was even announced.
** Similar restrictions exist for item enchantments, both to limit abuse of high-level enchantments on low level items and to keep certain temporary effects out of later content rather than removing them completely.
** An old patch for ''[=WoW=]'' allowed everyone in a group to place marks -- graphical icons that go above monsters or players and are used to make them more visible or indicate a kill order for the group -- instead of only the group's leader being able to do it. There followed an unofficial add-on which allowed players to automatically strobe the marks across the group members, rapidly swapping them around, much to the annoyance of many players. The very next patch added a notification of who was setting marks.

** There was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqPQ4SNmx2c a video]] posted on Website/YouTube in 2007, where a paladin killed, in one move, Lord Kazzak, a raid boss designed for dozens of players to take several minutes to bring down. The Reckoning talent had the effect that when a paladin was struck they might gain a stack of Reckoning, causing their next attack to hit twice. One enterprising player dueled a rogue many times without ever striking back, then went up to the boss in question and proceeded to hit it more than a thousand times in one blow. Within twenty-four hours, the talent was nerfed so that it caused you to hit ''twice'' for the next few attacks. Of course, seeing as Reckoning was about the only ability in the entire game that possessed neither stack limit nor duration, this was only to be expected. [[note]]Since the server had to effectively resolve about 10,000 attacks at once when the paladin did this, it effectively brought the whole server to its knees for a couple minutes, with extreme lag for everyone in the area.[[/note]].
*** On the subject of Lord Kazzak, players looking to cause trouble could lure Kazzak all the way to Stormwind and watch as he proceeded to sack the city, wiping out [=NPCs=] and low level players left and right. Blizzard eventually responded by ensuring bosses like Kazzak would not leave their designated areas.
** A similar flaw happened at the launch of Classic with the Shaman's Windfury Weapon. Windfury weapon gives a chance on a basic attack to duplicate that auto-attack twice more with boosted damage. The problem was when the game came out, Windfury Weapon could proc off of itself ''infinite times''. It was very rare but not unheard of for a player to be one-shot by a [=PvP=] Shaman because Windfury procced twelve or fourteen times off a single swing. One of the first patches ever for the game included a hard limit on how many times Windfury could proc off itself, which only reduced it to unbelievably strong.
** Before the ''Cataclysm'' expansion revamped most quests from vanilla ''[=WoW=]'', there was a long Alliance quest chain in the zone of Ashenvale where the intermediate quests made use of an item called "Dartol's Rod of Transformation", which temporarily turned the player into a furbolg. The change was purely cosmetic, but the rod was usable anywhere in the world and had no use limit, so players often kept the rod and never turned in the quest, as it was more attractive than the actual quest rewards. In patch 3.0.2, the text "Only usable in Ashenvale" was added to its description, but the restriction was never actually implemented and it was still usable outside Ashenvale. Eventually, Blizzard gave up and removed the requirement to turn in the rod at the end of the quest, allowing players to complete the quest and still keep it indefinitely. The modern version of the quest chain, introduced in ''Cataclysm'', uses another item called simply "Dartol's Rod", which is indeed only usable in Ashenvale. However, players who had the old rod before ''Cataclysm'' are allowed to keep it.
*** This change was later reverted, though some versions of the rod still have the requirement stated in the item description without being actually applied. Furthermore, Blizzard announced that in ''Warlords of Draenor'', most such quest items can be kept after the questline.
** Due to the way stats scale, a level 80 Paladin used some ''Mists of Pandaria'' drops to greatly increase his stats beyond what a level 90 in the same gear would have. Combined with Vengeance, which boosts attack power based on the strength of enemy attacks, he was able to solo several bosses in Mogu'shan Vaults, a level 90 raid. Blizzard quickly capped Vengeance so that it could not exceed the health of the user.
** Early in the game's release, endgame [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] suffered from a problem where the damage a player did - suitable and balanced for [[PlayerVersusEnvironment PvE]] - was [[HealthDamageAsymmetry so high compared to their own health]] that certain classes could kill other endgame players outright in a single hit or two. [=PvP=] became a game of getting off that first devastatingly powerful nuke before the enemy could. This problem was addressed by adding Resilience to the game: A stat which existed for absolutely no purpose except to reduce the damage players take when facing enemy players.
*** Later on, [=PvP=] Power was added as an offensive stat, basically to counteract Resilience. In ''Warlords of Draenor'', Blizzard eliminated both stats in favor of other tweaks to the basic damage calculations, but a special rule still exists to limit the amount of damage players deal with critical hits to other players.
*** [=PvP=] in general was subject to a lot of rule changes, especially when it comes to stun and crowd control effects. Those were fine in [=PvE=], but for [=PvP=] most crowd control effects were nerfed significantly in a number of ways, some of which also applied in [=PvE=]. In addition, a trinket was added that allowed players to break out of such effects once every 2 minutes, which previously only the undead racial ''Will of the Forsaken'' ability could do.
** In the ''Legion'' expansion, Gul'dan dropped a very specific trinket called the Draught of Souls which, for most classes, was a decent on use damage item with a fairly low cooldown. Arms warriors, however, had a plethora of skills to augment the damage of said trinket (some basically passive like the Colossal Smash debuff on the target, and 3 others with cooldowns that aligned almost perfectly with the Draught of Souls cooldown) to such an extent that it became basically indispensable for that class, 20-30% (!) of the overall damage being done with the trinket effect being pretty common. Which was not only a problem because it forced warriors to acquire that trinket and design their playstyle around it, but also because it was practically impossible to come up with a better trinket until the end of the expansion, while the trinket dropped in the middle of it. This led not only to an overhaul of the warrior's number-crunching (Colossal Smash got nerfed while a lot of other skills were buffed to compensate for this), but also to a 20% nerf for Draught of Souls ''exclusively'' for the Arms warrior.
** For a long time, people who had quests in dungeons often would join a group to complete the quest then leave before the dungeon was finished. To combat this, ''Warlords of Draenor'' gave every dungeon quest from that expansion onwards the added requirement of killing the final boss of the dungeon (i.e. a quest to loot something from the first boss of Black Rook Hold will also require players to kill the final boss of Black Rook Hold) so groups wouldn't have to stand around waiting for a new party member to finish.
** The Mage Tower Challenges in ''Legion'' were notorious for having a difficulty highly dependent on a player's class and specialization. Most notably, Destruction warlocks and Windwalker monks had to fight the same boss, but while warlocks were stuck using a subpar demon due to it having their only interrupt ability, monks had a ''sixty second'' long incapacitate with a 15-second cooldown, making that part of the fight a cakewalk. Blizzard would later {{nerf}} the monk incap ability so it only lasted long enough to function as an interrupt.
** Getting the hidden skin for the Havoc demon hunter's artifact required looting a special necklace that caused an NPC to kick them up to a massive felbat they had to kill. Many savvy players realized they could just glide from nearby Highmountain to reach the felbat and kill it that way without farming for the necklace. Once flying was introduced to the Broken Isles, the felbat was patched to be out of phase (and thus unattackable) for anyone who didn't have the necklace in their inventory.
** [[CursedItem Corrupted gear]] in patch 8.3 was designed to grant the wearer benefits at the risk of detrimental effects that worsen the higher their Corruption level is, until at 80+ Corruption they would have to deal with constant self-inflicted damage and snares on top of increased damage taken and decreased healing received.

While otherwise fairly normal (by fantasy standards), ''[=WoW=]'''s humans are technically the smallest species of giant in the world, and technically closer kin to hill-sized beings of living stone than to the likes of elves and dwarves.

However, Gazlowe, the leader of the Steamwheedle town of Ratchet, is much more closely aligned with the Horde. In ''{{VideoGame/Warcraft}} III'', he designed the Horde's main city of Orgrimmar, and later the Horde commander's garrison in ''Warlords of Draenor''. He even leads a Horde-aligned island expedition in ''Battle for Azeroth.'' Meanwhile, Ratchet offers few quests to Alliance players and they mostly use it as a convenient travel hub. In Patch 8.3 of ''Battle for Azeroth'', after Gallywix disappears, Gazlowe finally drops the pretense and becomes Trade Prince of the Horde-aligned Bilgewater Cartel.
