Many successes, the names of which can be considered inappropriate, so now new names have been given in the English version.

The changes specifically affect the following two successes, each of which will be renamed:

Developers are now renaming successes directly from the team’s promise to remove inappropriate and potentially sexist content from WoW (Buy now 14.99 € ) to remove. In the official announcement issued on July 27, 2021, the team wrote:

“Additionally, as we seek advice from our team in our internal work to protect minorities and hold those who threaten them to account, we want to act immediately to remove allusions in Azeroth that are inappropriate for our world. This work is already in progress and you will see many of these changes in both Shadowlands and WoW Classic in the coming days.“

But since the German transcription of both achievements (“My Dolce & Giganta bag‘” as “fraternal Christmas‘) seems innocuous, we’re not assuming a name change.
