World of Warcraft: Current Year

Such a long maintenance, I was kind of salty my guild decided to start raids tomorrow instead of tonight, but now I'm kind of thankful for it.

This may seem like an odd question but why are there a bunch of characters with 695 ilvl mythic loot from Blackrock Foundry?

Virsta @ Kiljaeden - Community - World of Warcraft
Argoros @ Kiljaeden - Community - World of Warcraft
Kruelia @ QuelThalas - Community - World of Warcraft(bracers and boots on this guy)

I can find more.

What am I missing, blackrock foundy isn't out and Mythic isn't either.

most likely black market auction house items?

those people are all decked out in BOE shit and BMAH items for certain. Rich as fuck lol

Yeah, definitely BMAH items. Which is bullshit and shouldn't exist, but that's another topic entirely.

I love the BMAH though. The last 2 days however on my server it hasn't sold anything good. boo. I don't really think it's bullshit cause if someone else is looking to buy it you end up paying some stupid ass prices for an item, and what better goldsink than a goldsink that can actually get you something neat

Whew, goddamn that guy has spent some serious gold on gear. I'll just get some highmaul drops Imagine 638 ilvl is alright to start it... And maybe a LFR piece or two if I get lucky before doing regular raid.

I won the container off BMAH yesterday and it had warforged 701 ilvl dps neck!!!...AGI dps...fuck...

@mynagas, the naga hex is 10 times better than the 12 button version.

So much more manageable imo. Love my hex. Still, I feel like I need a better way to maintain movement while hitting buttons. Thinking about just using shift modifiers on my hex buttons, should cover most of the things that interfere with movement? Working on it.

Why do you dislike the bmah? Seems like a pretty decent gold sink; probably goes a long way in maintaining a healthy economy.

Buying BiS always felt wrong, but people would just buy chars or run throughs regardless.

But the chances of getting BiS items aren't always very high. BMAH always has stupid shit like TCG items or items no longer obtainable from old raids like T3, or mounts, pets, etc. Like you said though, if someone has that much money to blow on the BMAH then they probably have more than enough to buy a carry.

Servers are shitting the bed right now. Things went well with people yelling about forming groups for World Bosses etc and then BAM 3-6 mins of solid lag followed by a few brief chunks of stability and then slammed again.

This is a DDOS I assume?

Thats what I did, to make it simple this is how i bound my mouse buttons on the Hex. 1- defensive cd1, shift 1-defensive cd2 2 spell interrupt, shift2- Healthstone (I rarely use this anymore, I add healthstones to healing type cd's 3- varies alot on my dk i use it to transform my ghoul, other classes I put AoEs on it, shift3- Again situational on my dk I have empowered rune weapon 4- autorun 5- Situational non rotation abilities which varies alot by class 6- ground mount shift6- flying mount

All those numbers on the Hex I use the numpad keys for so they don't interfere with my usual keyboard keymapping. I also use control key modifiers to activate very situational abilities such as engineering speed boost, path of frost etc.

Blizz must have done all their admin recruiting at DeVry.

The 90% boss makes its triumphant return after a two week absence.

Dat Blizzard polish.

The servers are really bad. Have not seen them like this in a very long time. Even more amazing is how this was proceeded by a very long down time.

This is pretty obnoxious.

Oh you just got home from work? my my what nice login servers... would be a shame if anything happened to them.

I imagine the downtime carrying over into primetime is causing a significant part of the problem. Plus the interwebs are in a shitstorm of DDOS attacks right now, though there's no way to tell from the IPViking map who the real targets are.
