    The gold coins aren't on the mounds with the signs. They're the sparkle spots around the mound. If you use the magnet on a spot rather than the mound, you get 4-7 coins.

    If you believe the 4chan larping from "a dev", he's the one pushing Sylvanas.

    I'm pretty sure it's like all those movies and series where removing the bit sticking from you is a terrible idea because it's the only thing stopping you from bleeding to death. Last time we had an open bleeding wound on Azeroth, we had a Sundering of continents... (please ignore all those...

    I don't really remember the Endymion books, it's been soooo long. I do remember slogging thru them, far more than Hyperion. Ilium was good, Olympos less so. If you liked Hyperion, odds are you're going to like Ilium (I loved the climactic end). A number of readers at the time thought that Ilium...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So I was wondering (after running my 6th alt thru the intro in Silithus)... Exactly who are those ChampionS of Azeroth I'm factioning with? Because Magni keeps telling me I AM her Champion. So, am I factioning with the other players? Are they supposed to be nicer to me in dungeons once I reach...

    Yea. My guildmistress was absolutely sure that the mythic version was actual horde pvp. I kept telling her "no, no. It's 3 normal vs AI. PvP is a completely separate version!" "No Way!" "Yes. It's AI, not players. Players would be more stupid!"

    Yea, until the raid releases, the WQ cap at 320 I think (325 for azerite armor).

    Possibly in BFA after the squishy thing. Because I remember having a titanforged stuff that was like 6% under my current non-titanforged one (and that's with simcrafted weights, non basic Pawn ones).

    Was an offhand for me. Which is funny because the icon for the WQ is a sword. :)

    if you have done 30 mythic dungeons, then your ilvl is almost certainly at a point where TWO whole normal-raid ilvl items are not going to change much in your performance... and if you've done it before raiding unlocks, you're almost certainly in a guild where you're going to go heroic that week...

    It's raid prep gear for ServerFirst guilds. For everyone else, it's a requirement to be finally allowed to craft the heroic-level gear with sanguinicells, which is the requirement to be allowed to craft the real gear (mythic ilvl) you really want. Me, I'm running 30 mythic, and not one more...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It makes TWO pieces of gear total, which are equivalent in ilvl to a normal raid drop, AND whose crafting IS required to make use of the crafting material raid drops. Plus, of course, it's RANDOM STATS MAN. You will barely be able to craft your two pieces before the raiding begins, and they're...

    This caused untold drama in Tide (Tunare, EU guild). We did use DKP. We did not account for DKP per character. An enchanter that was playing his monk alt decided to blow his DKP on one of the best monk weapons at the time, to the... dismay of the two monk mains.

    Yea, but seals are only going in starting with raids on Sep 4/5 (depending on region). So no seal for this week, nor next week kills.

    That does not happen anymore, since you're ALL on personal loot. No others options allowed.

    I think someone had datamined the login screen for the fox race during beta. There's a number of races that players can "use as disguise", but only the playable ones have a login screen associated. So yep, the Vulpera are known to be a future playable race.

    Yea, and they broke massively skill quests there. All quests give only skill in the original skill, so once you're 300, you gain zero... Forget about finishing your skill (as it was in Legion, I forget which profession, but I had basically no choice for a long time but to grab Darkmoon every...

    I've notice (on EU) those types. They queue, and as soon as they're inside, they leave. And you're stuck in the instance without a tank, waiting for the next.

    Yea, I managed to snag finally the toy from the Wardens 1 week before 8.0... was very, very happy not to have any faction to do anymore. But outside of the legendaries xmogs, there's no reason whatsoever for class hall missions come Aug 14. At least the WoD class halls give you free archeology...

    Nope, you signed for leaders that keep promoting successors that are batshit psychos. (Thrall handing the horde to Garrosh, Vol'jin picking Sylvanas) I fully expect Baine to get the Horde in the next expansion, then decide to go on spiritual journey and give it to Gallywix who will run it...

    Don't bother with the garrison. If you're 100+, there's like 15+ followers that can be picked with 5mn tops, plus you can recruit one follower per week with the Inn, so you don't need to really do the content. Once you have the garrison heartstone, you can come back, launch a bunch of missions...
