[WoW] Panda Thread of Mystery

As a side note, am I the only one who reads the title of the thread to the same tune as the opening line of the Darkwing Duck Theme?
The angler dailies have one you can use for some of them, and eventually, with enough angler rep, you can buy one.

And I was hacked again tonight.
I am very sad. I was made more sad by Blizzard's customer care line being so full of people calling in that it wouldn't put me in queue.
Still, I'm not getting an authenticator. I'd rather find out I've been potentially compromised via my battle.net account acting screwy than my bank account suddenly missing funds.
I'm confused as to how these two things are connected. The getting an authenticator and money leaving your bank account.
-edit-
Also, just in case.

Hell, they both started in Borean Tundra at 68 and neither has actually completed it yet, with only one go through each dungeon for each of them for quest XP. Did they retune the Wrath zones XP-wise or something? :o
now if only i could decide which to main
I already use malwarebytes. It shows no infection.
If something changes on my Battle.net account without my say-so, it means I'm potentially compromised in other ways, and I need to take steps to make sure all of my other accounts online are protected. If someone has compromised my e-mail account, they potentially have access to my bank account. I would rather find out that I've potentially been compromised by someone taking over my Battle.net account than finding out by someone taking over my bank account.
Basically, the Battle.net account is a coalmine canary.
EDIT: To try to be clearer about what I'm talking about, I have absolutely no fear of someone getting my financial information through my Battle.net account. I do fear that a state of being compromised that initially manifests itself as a Battle.net account problem could instead be a symptom of a larger security problem. Having something go wrong with my Battle.net account? Mildly annoying. Having someone gain access to my e-mail accounts, bank accounts, etc? A significantly larger problem. If I'm compromised, and someone goes for my WOW account first, that's absolutely fantastic for me, giving me a heads up that I need to resecure things quickly. If I have an authenticator, I'd never gain that heads up.
"Basically, the Battle.net account is a coalmine canary."
One. The point of a coalmine canary was to know when something was wrong when the canary died, which was usually BEFORE the actual miners died. You're implying the only warning you want is when your buddy working the coal seam next to you falls dead, right before you do.
I'm assuming you mean "Basically, the LACK of a Battle.net account is a coalmine canary."
Two. Hacking one of your accounts does not give someone access to ALL of your accounts. Unless you are dumb enough to use the same password for EVERYTHING, and to keep a list of it in your e-mail somewhere. I don't think you are. Generally speaking, if someone is hacking your account, they are using a rootkit designed specifically for that, or more likely are just brute forcing passwords or using an exploit or something. Which brings me to...
Three. If a dude is hacking your computer at that level of skill he has NO interest in your WOW account at all. He came for your banking info, he's not going to be distracted by a shiny new WOW account to fuck with.
Get an authenticator.
On the other end of the spectrum, my class has three of the four lowest rated dps specs in PVE.
So, for now, I guess I'll continue to mash my "Skillz" button for easy gear.
If they don't buff Marks or Surv, when they finally nerf BM, the hunter class is pretty much done for this tier.
This was the one Nesingwary I disliked the most, and I don't like any of them (yet I do them anyway when leveling alts..). Mostly I blame the combination of 'kill 15 foxes' + 'kill 10 mooses or whatever'. Those quests come after I've had to avoid a minefield of mooses and get interrupted by damn annoying and not at all sly foxes constantly, and yeah, having to kill 15 stealth enemies in the same area as the mooses? At least they weren't both stealthy.
I liked the ending though, weirdly.
Somehow, after having a long series of the worst kind of pugs (not the wiping kind, that's made impossible now, just the jerks), I ended up running two dungeons with an awesome group. Tank who pulls big packs and can manage it, great healer, and even dps was excellent. Seemed cool people too, and yet it was full pug. I actually sort of felt like the weakest link, since I was on my alt and all. Must've been dreaming or something.
Mostly just for the jade quillien achievement
Honestly surprised that a lot of EU guilds haven't gotten any. Wait, have none of the EU guilds downed heroics yet? Wow, I think that's actually a thing! At the moment of writing this, 42 guilds have downed Heroic Stoneguard, and none are EU.
The only time there is any sort of cross-pollination between WoW and Shit-That-Matters is random hacker groups that are fucking with people for the sake of fucking with people. And that's generally because you have terrible basic security. If you Battle.net acount has the same password as ANYTHING related to important business, then you need to change the passwords of both Battle.net and any site associated with that password.
This is just a roundabout way of saying "Get a fucking authenticator."
It's the return of the BAG OF DISAPOINTMENT in the lfr I really do question why they thought the loot needed to be changed
Wait, really? Do raids not reset on Tuesday in Europe? Or is there some timezone thing going on? Oh man, I'm confused.
Yeah, in Europe, the maintenance window is during Wednesday mornings.
Didn't complete all 200 of those instances, though. Just now bailed out of a run where people didn't know why LoS-pulling and waiting for a pack to reach the tank was a good idea. And also votekicked a mage out of a group when he linked DPS charts (with him at the front) and yelled at me for not hurrying fast enough. So it's got its own set of aggravations, even without the gankings.
I kind of did the same thing with my death knight but then it was more of I really did not want to quest in outland again
I'm a Rogue.
I mean I guess he couldn't vote-kick his guildmates and needed to vent his frustrations somehow.

You probably got kicked because you were also taking damage, so the healer threw some heals and maybe spent a few cooldowns on you, which resulted in the tank then dying.
Completely your fault.
I dunno, the only real disconnect I have for Worgen is casters, and that's because their casting animation is just so friggen goofy.
Goblins (and to an extent Gnomes) I have issues with as plate characters because of the way gear looks on them. Goblin helms look bigger than their chest armor and it reminds me way too much of some of the critters from Labyrinth.
On a side note, my vid card crashed hard last night during cloud serpent dailies (when I was killing Saurok). That's going to be a fun login when I get my new card.
