Battle pets dropped from old raids and dungeons can sell for quite a bit. The common drops 'only' sell for a few hundred gold, for minutes of your time, while the rare ones like the abyssal from Kara go for several thousand. It's at around 9k on my server at the moment.

Because it's actually a squish, not just dividing all the numbers by 100 or whatever. There is now a linear progression in player power from level 1-90, instead of doubling (or more) at 60,70,80,85, etc. They never said we won't be back up to pre-squish numbers or that we wouldn't scale up as...

How about them tying reputation to meaningful progression, whether that be through quests, scenarios, dungeons, raids, or whatever? For instance the whole Klaxxi questline in Dread Wastes is pretty neat. As you gain rep levels, it unlocks more chains and you discover more Paragons to awaken and...

This sounds legitimate actually. I tested out pretty much all the old raid content on PTR before the hotfix, and damage against Cata raid bosses was ridiculously high; as high as it was against WotLK and earlier content. Cata bosses are technically level 88, so according to the formula they...

True but irrelevant. The game's old, people are gonna leave, even if MoP was the best expansion yet. Vanilla saw the biggest gain in sub numbers, that doesn't necessarily make it the best era in the game's history. The reputations were A) Absolutely NOT mandatory in the slightest, when they have...

But those aren't them.... Is that supposed to be the joke? I don't get it.

That was one of the easiest bosses in Dark Souls. And it is not gonna last very long here.

Their official explanation (from Metzen in some recent trade show) is that they added a huge amount of staff to the WoD team and the transition delayed progress in the short term, but they expect to finally be able to make good on their promise of faster content pushes now. I'd guess the influx...

That's pretty much it right there. You can't really get a fair picture of how well healers are doing compared to each other if no one dies. It's much easier to figure out who messed up if someone died (and it wasn't their own fault). Turning on the death recording in recount helps. It shows a...

Neither of those are examples of irony, Alanis.

That's what I had at first. Up until lvl 65, the shaman and bard buffs were ENTIRELY redundant. Only thing the shaman brought to the table was slow, malo, and snare, which weren't really that important for normal mobs, and the bard can do all that anyway to some extent. A couple of times he...

I don't care about stupid names, I've made a few myself just to see if I could sneak them past the filter. What I really hate though, are names with all those fuckin' symboI? all over them. It's just goddamn un-American, goddammit. Plus it makes it impossible to invite/ignore/report them except...

I've never found the chess event too bad. I guess the problem is that it's exactly as easy (or difficult) to solo as it was back at 70, which I would do every week with my rogue because our guild typically cleared up to Curator on tuesday then come back for the rest friday. Foolproof chess...

Well yeah it sounds bad when you fucking lie about it like that. Every player having the option to roll only on gear appropriate to their class equates to 4%/10% (depending on raid size) 'control' over loot by each raid member. To be fair I don't really pug much, and when I do I run them more...

I'm sorry I can't really empathize with you here, as I have NEVER joined a pug raid and been ok with the raid leader having 100% of the control over loot. NBG loot rules have been built into the game interface since the fucking beginning. If it's ML and you don't know the raid leader then GTFO...

I still prefer questing to dungeon grinding to level, even if it's not always as fast. The constant endorphin rush of checking off objectives on a list keeps me much more interested than trying to keep up with an overpowered tank bulldozing his way to the end without stopping to loot. Plus, you...

I got a 3-box team up to 65 on live, hit the 250 aa cap and decided to start over on test rather than start paying. What's a good class to go with rogue+bard? I went with shammy in the previous team, but between the bard and defiant gear stats his buffs were completely useless.

I've made a few characters just to check out all the new quests in the Cata revamp. I'd hit 60 and immediately delete 'em. A couple of them were still decked out it heirlooms, whoops. Would be nice if I could recover them but by this point I've built up a basic enough set for each class.

Throughout Cata and Mists they changed their design philosophy on mana to be more of a quickly-recharging resource for dps casters and a long-term efficiency measuring stick for healers. So yeah, unless you're doing your rotation wrong you should never have to worry about mana as a dps class...

Fuck crafting for the past couple expansions anyway. Especially tailoring. We should have cheap and easy to make bags with like 30 slots at this point in WoW's lifespan, but the most cost effective bags are still Netherweave, from the first fucking expansion. Why does every new bag recipe...

There's also the part where Anduin Wrynn more or less single-handedly reignites the war between the Horde and Alliance because he wanted to go see the pretty panda bears instead of getting back on the damn boat, and then spends the entire expansion complaining that everyone is too violent and...

His most transparent troll to date and he still got a couple of responses. He's very very good at being very bad at this. (Or is it the other way around?)

Every tank needs to start realizing their class WASN'T singled out here. ALL TANKS WERE NERFED. This change in particular isn't even related to the latest 'tank squish'. Player health pools are being doubled in relation to healing throughput abilities, so any %-based heals were chopped. Also...

The key for me was figuring out what server time was best for Alliance. Turned out basically on Tuesdays right after resets all the alliance on my battlegroup decided to be competent and whomped the shit out of the horde in both BGs, letting me get both wins in about 30 min. 1 hour later I...

People are going to be tanking with DPS left and right. Blizzard will compensate by increasing mob damage and nerfing healers' throughput and/or mana. Tanks will complain incoming damage is too high and survival is only possible by overgearing or chaining raid cooldowns. Everyone else will...

There are also a couple (maybe just one long one, can't remember) fun ones as part of the legendary questline.

The mere fact that someone paid for a bot so they could 'be the best' makes me pretty sure I'm better than them.

Disc is extremely fun to play in 5-mans, not so much solo or raiding. Spam Holy Fire and Smite on mobs. If that isn't enough healing to keep anyone in your group topped off, hit them with a bubble and a Penance. Go shadow for solo questing though; Disc doesn't really do that much dps in...

Mostly, yeah. You'll still prefer certain secondary stats over others for each spec, but all stats on armor pieces should be useful to every spec. The exception is non-armor slots (rings, neck, cloak, trinkets, weapons) which can have spirit for healers or bonus armor for tanks.

Er, spoiler warning? And I'm not following on how this is a rehash of MoP. MoP was 90% new lore about stupid panda bullshit. The interesting part was the Garrosh story line, but even that was muddled with good characters making stupid decisions just so Garrosh could be transformed from the...

Too late now, but if you get to revered with Klaxxi with an alt you don't care about, just doing the regular questline in Dread Wastes will get you well past revered in a single day. Throw in all the dailies that are unlocked at that point and all the shards you've collected, it'll put you about...

25 man 0 light Yogg is a fucking pain in the ass still. Tried many many times to solo it as a Blood DK, you need really good gear and a lot of luck and patience. You need decent dps to get the brain down to 30% in 2 portal phases, but you also need to be able to tank 20+ adds hitting for 40-50k...

At least now the people who think they've 'finished' WoW and it was easy get to see some of the raid content. Back in vanilla, the idiots who called WoW easy would just hit 60 and say "FINISHED!" I met a guy with multiple 60s, and when I asked him if his guild raided at all he said "Yeah we...

LFR tip some people might not know about: you can queue up for multiple wings at the same time (I think up to 5), and you'll move up in line even while in another wing. You have to queue for everything right at the start, once you get into a group the interface will just show you info for your...

It's in there a couple times...1:26, 1:54, 2:05, only a split second each time though. I thought it was odd it was included actually; I thought it wasn't officially connected to this 20 year plan thing. p.s. Those scenes are from The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton, the other Hulk with Eric...

It'd be a good year for some real Titan info.... Ah who am I kidding, Blizzcon is gonna be WoD whether it's out already or not, PS4/XB1 Diablo3, Hearthstone and All-Stars on the side, and maybe a couple screenshots of some Protoss.

This is why I don't play betas anymore. The MoP beta was far closer to the final version than WoD is, yet there were many quests/cutscenes/lines of dialogue/etc missing, meaning the overall cohesiveness of questlines and zone storylines was basically non-existent. The trademark Blizzard polish...

From what I can tell, you lose durability for every frame your weapon is in contact with a monster you can't currently damage. I think it's intended to slightly chip away at your durability if you attack a monster that's blocking, where the deflect animation knocks your weapon back and keeps it...

Yep it's not a cut.

Basically, it's Thailand.
