Just noticed my iron paladin ( eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/earthen-ring/Iarnaigxi/advanced ) is flagged as a Mists character, yet I thought he was a WoD one. Well, on checking the dates... he's from 6.0 but not WoD, hah. Leads to an interesting question: people use the flags to see which characters began under the WoD conditions, which would actually include my 6.0-but-not-WoD started character, but of course nobody's going to know that since it's flagged as Mists. I can absolutely see why the flag goes by date of expansion, it makes obvious sense, but perhaps it might be helpful to go off the associated major patch instead? I'm not really sure, so thought I'd raise it for opinions

I think I did have it set to flag (for Warlords anyway) based on the date of the Stat-Squish.... October 15 2014.
I know I changed it recently to be based on expansion date when I was reviewing the other expansion dates... I believe I had gotten the Cataclysm one wrong and then saw the Warlords one was October. I saw this as wrong and changed it to the actual launch date of November 13 2014.
The Stat-Squish is such a monumental change I think the Warlords flag should go back (in fact I'm going to change it right now), but as far as the other expansions, I'm ambivalent... the major patch date is fine by me if folks want that.

Cool, the stat squish is indeed the biggie, so I'm glad that's changing back. Others don't matter as much, it's actually only Mists startdate that's relevant (ironman only started in cata, anyone showing Wrath didn't set the character achievements only flag), and while there were certainly a good few changes in the prepatch, it wasn't as much as with 6.0. For consistency it might be better to keep the same pattern across them all, but it feels less important to me, see what others think
