I'm more interested about Hearthpwn's behaviour right now.
They've locked all the threads on the subject and there's still no news article on the site about this change despite people talking about this both here and on the blizzard forums and youtube (even Kripparian made a video).
Why is Hearthpwn hiding it?
We're not hiding it. There's no reason to. If we were going to hide it there would be a bot running to nuke threads immediately and we'd certainly not be locking them, they'd be getting deleted.
Honestly, I think the whole thing is stupid, on both fronts.
On the side of Blizzard changing it, I don't believe it wasn't necessary and it's even confusing as to why Jaina was changed but a way more sexual card, Succubus was not. Blizzard likely caved to some new hire internally that cried about it since I definitely haven't seen massive outcry about the assets in the community (except when they were "nerfed").
On the side that we're all on, I think it's stupid we couldn't from the beginning talk about it without nonsense. The entire reason threads started getting locked is because people can't discuss it properly.
Creating a news article to talk about Jaina's breasts being covered up ends up bringing even more children into the conversation and really, we've been moderating them enough over the past couple of days. Plus, what even is that going to be other than "hey, Jaina got an art update. check out her boobs if you haven't recently.". People hate it when we do anything that isn't factual so if I write an opinion piece on it (for record's sake it's stupid that they caved but it really doesn't matter at the end of the day) we're just going to get a bunch of negativity over that. It's not like talking about it even more is going to end up getting a Blizzard response.
I'm sorry people had to ruin actual discussions taking place, not that there was much to discuss.
The thread was not locked because of whether or not Jaina's boobs being covered is sexist. The thread was locked for the sexist and racist comments which people left in response to the original post, which was just informing people that the change had been made.
The first few comments were fine, but offered no further discussion, simply reactions to the change. Since further comments then degraded, there was no reason to keep the thread open to attract further poor quality posts.
Just for record's sake, even though I shouldn't need to validate what Shadows says, it is correct.
I'd clear them all just to be safe. You'll want at least 2 slots open though if they aren't daily quests since you'll get your normal daily tomorrow followed by another quest post-patch.
Play it safe though, clear that log! I'll get on it later.

I suspect this is a relatively short period of Blizzard having a case of the derps and will be largely forgotten down the line.
Or I'm horribly, horrible wrong and I should feel really bad about the amount of money sunk into WoW because those characters are gonna get deleted :D

'Servant of Yogg-Saron' Tryouts
Help Yogg-Saron find a servant! Your deck is full of wannabes who cast a random spell at a random target when played.

Does it work incognito or with addons disabled? Its likely that something is blocking Javascript.

These should be resolved. There were issues logging in due to website maintenance yesterday.
