Nothing huge and important really. They seem to be testing their releases with
wine too, some blizzard dev said something like that on the wow forums when
asked about a bug in their beta releases.
Every now and then I stumble accross some things where I'd ask someone from
Blizzard, but in all those cases I could find a solution myself, and most
likely quicker than waiting for someone responding, making sure we talk about
the same problem and then debugging the things.
One thing that would be valueable to us would be to know how the Warden(the
anti-cheat system) works, but I don't think Blizzard would tell us. Having
someone taking us seriously for sure would be a good thing should we run into
a huge problem like a mass ban like Transgaming had, or an update breaking
wow in Wine/Crossover completely.
