Dragoncon 2015
TheCrafticus was at Dragoncon and talked about Legion! MMO-Central and Elvine were also there and live tweeted the whole thing.
Classes
- Demon Hunters are starting at Level 98 right now.
- Death Knights will continue to start at Level 55.
- Demon Hunters will have a short transform, with inner demon visuals.
- Only Demon Hunters will be able to use glaives.
- Double jump won't be disabled anywhere.
- Survival Hunters will get a Harpoon ability that allows them to throw a spear to pull mobs towards them.
- Most specs are getting overhauled, tweaking them to fit the fantasy of the spec. Some will be renamed.
- Some specs will use a renamed resource, such as Insanity for Shadow Priest.
- The sewer class hall for Rogues looks great, not really like a sewer at all. It will have treasure chests.
- The Moonkin model will be updated.
- No new major glyphs will be added.
- No Gnome hunters yet, maybe when it makes sense to add them.
Professions
- There will be a "single system" to upgrade profession items. The current item will be destroyed, giving you a reagent needed for the upgrade (Obliterium).
- A new team will be working on professions this time, including profession quest lines.
- Professions will get some crafting items from dungeon loot.
- Professions won't have daily cooldowns.
- Prospecting could make a return.
Transmog / Items / Stats
- If the new transmog system is account wide, the item must be usable by the class trying to use it.
- No tabard tab is currently planned, but the new transmog system should help to clear up some space.
- Multistrike is being removed and other secondary stats will have changes as well.
- Players can still only equip three profession crafted items.
- There won't be specific item art for each race and class, as Artifact weapon art is the priority.
Misc
- Dungeons will absolutely be relevant again.
- Illidan is ready to lead Demon Hunters against the Burning Legion.
- The Park in Stormwind won't be repaired yet.
- There are plans for Jaina.
- The backpack might be updated.
- Warlords was not a filler expansion and built some things that will be used going forward.

Sounds like there’s been a misunderstanding somewhere here. Our current plan is that Moonkin Form will indeed receive a high-res model update in Legion.
