The best is watching them crawl back to the forum and try to either admit they got banned, or make up some story about how real life is getting busy so they don't have the time to play anymore.

Blizzard bans bots and cheaters in "waves", so people will go a while thinking they're safe, then whammo!
Usually a bot ban wave happens, then suddenly the Chinese flip their shit and start DDoSing Blizzard's servers.
They should have named the servers after cool talent abilities to differentiate them from the other servers. Names like: Scattershot, Swiftmend, Repentance, Martyrdom, Stormstrike, Bloodthirst, Devastation, etc.

Hunters were bugged pretty hard during Stress Test, so that might explain why there's fewer of them. I think there's some pet issues as well. Plus I'm not sure how strong they are in PVP, which seems to be a common thing for Classic.
Hawks love the rodents in the cities, they tear the fuck out of pigeons too. Its why some buildings have those "hawk head" type concrete perches that extend off their buildings, to encourage them to hang out there and keep the vermin away.
Darkmoon Faire is going on now and makes it easier to raise heirlooms. You also get exp/rep buffs.
BFA is pretty friendly to alts, actually. There's 101 different ways to level up and they've chopped up a lot of the quest lines to be skippable. The new Nazjatar Benthic gear is BoA so you can...
