"Action Cam" is an unsupported experiment that was left in because players were having fun with it. No connection to this change (WatcherDev)
Pets and Pet Battles
speaking of skipping content, any thought on skipping pet battle animations? Some aren't fun to watch numerous times.
Let us know if you feel some take too long, we can make them punchier. (Muffinus)

Oh man. Having done Tanaan Intro something like 40 times, Holgar Stormaxe is my favourite Legion addition so far!
oh man I can even skip them if I did them on a different faction this is the bestest! Thanks Recruiter Lee
Did you know: you can skip the intro to Legion on alts and get right into the class-specific arty quest? (Muffinus)
Bonus Did U Know: all skipped quests and the Legion pre-launch lore can be accessed at any time from an Archivist in Dalaran if you skipped. (Muffinus)
Clarification request: This includes the Kara/Uld scenarios, right?
Correct. (Muffinus)
The hardest part about designing is designing the mechanism that lets players skip your content. (Muffinus)

Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

Minor risks sure, but a massive overhaul of every spec in the game was way too much IMO. I don't think it will end well.
As a player, I was sad when the WoD strategy seemed to be minimal class change. I am more excited about Legion class change. (OccupyGStreet)
But your point is well taken and there are examples of games that changed too much and lost the magic that they had. (OccupyGStreet)
We will have to agree to disagree on the characterization of WoD class changes as "minor." As BM hunt, I lost quite a bit.
I didn't play WoD so I will defer to your experience. When I was there, the strategy was to minimize change. (OccupyGStreet)
It has now led to the complete removal of permanent aspects, replaced by short duration cooldowns with the same names.
I have opined before about the difficulty of designing things like aspects / stances / paladin seals. (OccupyGStreet)
With the exception of say SC siege tanks, it's tough to have modal abilities feel like a real choice and still satisfying. (OccupyGStreet)
