It centers around the player’s surprising acquisition of an item that wasn’t supposed to be available in the game yet.

The postmaster had sent them a package containing the mysterious Dreadful Synchronous Timestrand:

What is this? Got it from the postmaster and aside from a commentless WoWhead page for it there’s no information, dropped for a hunter and can’t be posted to alts so effectively useless?

At first, GilfLover_69 believed they had stumbled upon a super rare treasure. Yet, subsequent discussions among Redditors revealed that this item was slated for release in the forthcoming Season 4 Awakened Raid Finder. But how exactly the Dreadful Synchronous Timestrand found its way to GilfLover_69’s inventory remained a mystery.

Speculation was rife that the developers may have accidentally introduced Season 4 loot into the game. And so, GilfLover_69 swiftly took action by submitting a bug report to notify the developers.
