The "zero-sum" crowd is not only stupid, but flat out wrong. I recently rerolled to a highly active server from a medium one. Having players with gear means that more pugs happen. Those pugs are often more successful, not because of better players but because the average ilvl is higher...

Does that potential cast list mean that Mike and mama C don't win? Maybe Jeff's comment at the very end about taking the weakest means those two are doomed anyway. I don't know who the fuck would win if those two are voted out.

It's also dumb in that it really does nothing to fix the gathering professions. It's a bit like vanilla hunter's tranq shot; it doesn't add anything to the class other than a gimmick to make the class needed. What is everyone going to do with all the raw materials that flood the market from...

Devs tweeted that there is no plan for a follower ilvl increase. All 6.2 progression is in the naval yard.

I know we're talking about seconds at this point, but you don't have to do all that every time you log. Log at table, refresh missions, move to trade huts, refresh those. Log out right there. Tomorrow do it backwards. Only open crates once a week or so when you're motivated. You cut out...

Hell, you wouldn't even have to change mechanics, missions, or anything. Just give it modern graphics and it would be a winner.

I can't say first hand since I got rid of my lumber mill early as soon as I got the achieves but I don't think it's nearly the chore it used to be. Lumber doesn't have a cap anymore. Combined with what I imagine is much less competition than the first couple of weeks and I'd guess you could...

On that note, I think I'm gonna save 4 barn rush orders so i can flush all the mighty cages when 6.2 goes live. I'm pretty sure its first in first out but I've gotten some weird times where I'll get a feast when I know for sure they were behind fur in the queue. edit: At least 4 I should...

Obviously Mike knows what a real idol looks like...he found the one Joe got the clue for. Even a fake idol has its uses. Worse case he could use it the same way Joe tried. Best case he gives it to Rodney and gets him to play it when the blues split.

As much as I'm gonna hate it, I think shireen is going to final tribal now. Soon blue has to start turning against themselves and they'll need some swings to make it happen. She's a better choice than Tyler or Jen since no one likes her. Agree the fake idol play was kinda dumb, but it's...

I totally get that BrM needed to be brought back in line, but going from 50+% stagger to somewhere in the teens/low 20s seems brutal. I loved that BrM was one of those specs that rewarded skilled players and was somewhat unique among the tanks. Now I just don't know. I hate too how these...

And wtf are they doing with brewmasters? No more shuffle? Seems like they're going to have the most boring rotation ever now.

I would add that unless you're actually using your small plots to craft gear, go do the salvage yard quest chain in south spires as soon as you hit 96. This will greatly increase your ability to raise follower ilvl which in turn unlocks the bigger GR, gold, and gear missions. A couple 630...

I too bought a couple months of time when it bottomed out at 21k. I still don't get who the hell even buys all this gold though. Are there that many people that aren't max level buying mounts and pets and such. What else could it be? Accountant says I average around 5k a day and that is with...

There have been plenty of times where this might describe my playstyle. Much of that having to do with playing at work for several years where I had to alt-tab out at any given moment. I'm not sure how you could incentivize this though. LFR might as well already be you and 24 bots for how...

I read an interesting piece today. It suggested that gays should use RFRA to claim that states not recognizing gay marriage "substantially burden a person's exercise of religion." They wouldn't even need to make up a gay religion; apparently for much of it's history the Catholic had an actual...

Can't remember if I saw it here or some other site but someone should start the no shirt/no shoes religion and stick it to every fast food joint ever.

I knew I'd get pushback on that one. I'll admit to not being well read on this issue but i don't recall any cases where people were outright refused based on their orientation. The issue with a baker near where I live involved putting two male figures on the cake. If the man walked into the...

I agree. I can even understand if a business doesn't want to serve gays. I just think they need to clearly state their allowable clientele so people can decide for themselves if they want give them their business. If you want to only bake wedding cakes for heteros then clearly advertise...

I think I'm a day or two away from canceling. You can blame players like me for the long delay in opening full LFR. Got all my alts Blackhand kills so I've essentially "seen" everything from every class I'm interested in. My tolerance for the retards I raid with is super low that any personal...

Nothing would have changed. The bad guys would have had both sides of the amulet, they would have found the ark, opened it, and melted their faces just like what happened anyway. The only difference is a monkey wouldn't have had to die.

It's not necessarily a faucet or sink, it's just that selling and buying aren't necessarily linked. If the initial price is good and a bunch of people list they may get an inflated selling price compared to the buyer a couple days later who gets a supply heavy price. It could just as easily go...

A quick google says you should get around 30k gold for $15. If they really want to put the gold farmers out of business they can't go much higher than that unless they really sell the "secure" part. With 4 100s basically just doing gold missions I'm getting 10k a week or so. If it is...

That's what it sounds like. Here guys, we'll give your followers xp for working - too bad xp isn't the game anymore.

So I noticed I'm only getting 1 item per work order even with a 100 follower permanently assigned. The trade chatter this morning made it sound like ilvl now counts too and ilvl600 is now only as good as a lvl95 before. It doesn't personally impact me much as I had tons of mats saved up but...

In the LFG tool there's been plenty of auto accept custom groups for the various garrison quests so at least that part isn't too bad. My two Bracken quests thus far have given grandiose pants and grandiose shoulders. The recipe vendor is crap, hopefully it's like the apexis dailies were at...

I'm not sure what to think of the salvage changes. Yes, war ravaged and blackrock pieces are just junk for my main characters now, but this seems like a huge nerf for anyone behind the curve or new alts. I also don't get the fishing changes. They make satchels BoA so you can gear up your...

Did they change the trading post? Everything's been 30gr for a couple of days now.

I also find myself vendoring a lot more greens rather than DEing compared to previous expansions. Any green over 20g is more valuable as cash than turning into 2-4 dusts.

On days when dust is 20gr you can buy a stack for 800gr. Stacks have been going for around 800g but it's been dropping as more people cap gr.

I think stamina will be better long term. I'm to the point where I only get a handful of non xp missions per day. Cycling through them faster doesn't really do me any good. A couple of stamina followers ensures you can 100% the missions that count.

The only issue, if you could even call it that, on my parked alts is that I didn't keep any followers low level. I stopped getting the lower level missions that give me leveling gear. I'll have a full set of 615+ gear when/if I ever get to 100 but I'll have to rely on quest gear for leveling...

They should make a craftable for like 1000 ore that lets you reroll a follower trait. Would solve the ore problem and help those who got unlucky on random traits. There's already mechanics like this for item random enhancements so why not followers too.

I don't think there's a limit on the number of followers you can have, only the number you can have active. Any followers you gain after 20/25 will just be inactive. You can swap out one follower per day for some gold.

FYI, scavenger bonuses stack. Got 500GR from one mission using two scavenger followers.

I went far enough in every zone to get the followers and free blueprints. That usually was a good break point anyway since they were on the end of the "main" quest line. I haven't noticed any negatives so far from skipping the outlying quest nodes. For the salvage yard you can do that first...

Are they quest mobs? There seems to be a high, if not 100%, fail rate on quest beasts. That's probably a good thing big picture though.

Now that I have a bunch of my alts up to 92 which seems to be a good breakpoint for garrisons I have some questions. For every trade but enchanting there is a reasonable way to keep materials coming in that keeps up with work orders. Enchanting though I'm having a hard time keeping up with...

I'm sure there's a fair amount of rosy glasses here but I liked the EQ caster model. You had pages and pages of spells in your book but were only able to scribe 8 of them for immediate casting. Make 4-6 of them your core rotation giving you a couple utility/cooldown buttons. If you're hunter...

I'm pretty sure the 80% loss ratio applies to the whole pool, not individuals. Unless you get lucky and your whole group is healthy that year there's no way you're seeing any rebate, especially when insurance companies can count nurse hotlines and internal audits towards the 80%.
