Blizzard have detailed two major changes to PvP gear rewards in Season 1 of Dragonflight, with the cloak, weapon enchant and tabard being delayed to later in the season, and gear in instanced PvP automatically receiving the highest stats it can have regardless of rank.

Some issues were found which affect the Season 1 Rated PvP rewards. Due to these issues, the cloak, weapon enchant, and tabard rewards will not be available for their respective Duelist and Elite ranks until later in the season. At the start of the season, these rewards will also not be listed in-game for these ranks.

Players who meet the necessary rating requirements for Duelist and Elite ranks will receive their appropriate rewards retroactively once they are implemented and listed in-game in a future update.

Thank you for your understanding.

...

In Dragonflight, we made a change to our PvP gear that grants the maximum PvP item level of a piece of gear immediately at all ranks so that players are on a more even competitive footing within instanced PvP. Due to this change, we have removed the increased item level bonus from being active in War Mode situations, and players will notice the change to item tooltips starting in this week’s Beta build. Players can continue to spend Honor to upgrade Aspirant and Gladiator gear item level outside of PvP instances, but the item level in PvP instances will be unchanged.

      Treasure Goblin Sets Portal Trap and Sends Players Away
      By Starym
      This is a particularly hilarious one, as it seems the Diablo event Treasure Goblins don't just jump out of portals, they also send players into them! While players have been farming them constantly, the goblins have had enough and are now using next-level tactics to get rid of as many players as possible.
      This particular one, caught by MemeStarKeem (or rather, the goblin caught them), used the players' desire for the mount/cosmetics and lured them right on top of one of the capital city portals!

      This is exactly the kind of stuff that creates memories that will stay with you for years and years, and is one of the reasons events like these are just great.

      Mythic+ Tier List in Dragonflight Season 2 (Week 4)
      By Stan
      Here's the Mythic+ Tier List for the fourth week of Dragonflight Season 2!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on statistics provided by Subcreation, a website that gathers various Mythic+ data from live servers. Please note that the tier list is biased toward the top end because it only looks at the top 100 keys per dungeon per affix and ignores keys below +16 and untimed runs.
      For the reasons mentioned above, the data presented here will always differ from the Mythic Tier Lists maintained by Petko.
      Data Reliability
      The data used in the post comes from Subcreation, a site maintained by Alcaras. Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons, raids, and PvP in Shadowlands, and the data is provided via the Warcraft Logs API and Raider.io. If you'd like to support Subcreation, you can check out their Patreon.
      How the Data is Calculated
      The site looks at the top 100 keys per dungeon per affix across all regions and examines their raider.io scores. For each dungeon and specialization, the site takes the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval of the top 100 runs for each specialization. The site then averages these lower bounds, one per dungeon, to get an overall average lower bound for each spec, which is finally used to create the tier list.
      The site takes the lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval calculated and then clusters them into 6 buckets using the Ckmeans algorithm. You can find more information by reading the site's FAQ.
      Tanks, Healers, Melee, and Ranged are all on the same scale. They're just shown separately for easier comparison across roles.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 2 Week 4
      The specs are ranked based on their lb_ci which stands for the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval. If a certain tier is missing, it's not occupied by any specialization.
      The following tier list is for this week's affixes: Fortified, Afflicted, Raging.
      The images from Subcreation are currently experiencing some issues as classes are listed in the incorrect order, but you will find the correct order in text format.

      Dawn of the Infinite Megadungeon Drops Item Level 421 Loot on the 10.1.5 PTR
      By Stan
      Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon is currently dropping non-upgradable item level 421 loot on the 10.1.5 PTR.
      Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon became available for testing this week and content creator MrGM confirmed on Twitter item drops have Item Level 421. As you can see in the image, the drop was a trinket (Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows) with no upgrade ranks. 
      We're not sure if it's intended because loot tables for the dungeon haven't been implemented yet, but for now, the items cannot be upgraded on the PTR with the new system.
      Placeholder for tweet 1664278084055617543 For comparison, Mythic+ Dungeons drop Item Level 402 Veteran loot that can be upgraded to Item Level 424.
