World of Warcraft players on the Public Test Realm have unearthed potential clues about the game’s next expansion through achievements tied to bonus Traders Tender. Testing Patch 10.1.7, Fury Incarnate, currently underway on the PTR suggests that the next expansion may be on the horizon, slated for a September 5 launch. Dataminers exploring development files have uncovered hidden Feats of Strength related to the upcoming 10th expansion. These achievements hint at three editions with varying amounts of bonus Traders Tender rewards: 500 for the base version, 750 for Heroic, and 1000 for Epic.
With Blizzcon just over two months away, speculation is rife that the expansion’s announcement may follow the Dragonflight event, allowing players to pre-purchase and earn these rewards. This marks the third instance of acquiring bonus Traders Tender through monetary transactions, raising concerns among players about the game’s potential shift towards monetizing the Trading Post. While the theme of the new expansion remains undisclosed, the Seafarer’s Pack, featuring seafaring and piratical items, has fueled theories. The gaming community eagerly anticipates Blizzcon for confirmation, potential expansion details, and clarity on the bonus Traders Tender system’s future.
