World of Warcraft's controversial battle royale mode relaunched a week ago, once again pitting PvE mount and transmog collectors against hardcore PvP enjoyers. And this time around… almost no one is complaining.

Blizzard made some smart changes to the way its pirate-themed Plunderstorm worked. The rate of earning plunder, the game mode's currency, has increased.

Random horses allow players to zoom around the map.
