You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some frozen tart threw a sword at you.

Strange Orcs lyin' in thrones distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical subzero ceremony!

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    How do you know so much about wind riders?

    Well, you have to know these things when you're a raid leader, you know.

    I think, based on how "wind rider" is used in quest dialog in game, "wind rider" either refers to the rider, or the rider and wyvern as a pair. Of course, if we're just refering to a wyvern only (which occurs to me when the term unladen is used)...well..they just tend to hover when left to their own devices. 8-) Fortunately, wind rider implies rider included. Of course, then again...Swift Purple Wind Rider is quite literally the name of the mount.

    (So what if I'm capable of overthinking things...)

    Edit: Fuck....I think I ruined the conversation! 8-)

    So... I just saw a swift purple rider rider go past me. Totally legit.

    See, it's like this. The wyvern is riding the wind. So it's a Wind Rider. You're riding on a Wind Rider. It's like a proper noun or something.

    They don't skip the major content patch numbers.

    PvP players will drop first. Can you imagine 10 months under the same season? Ruby Sanctum will last most raiders maybe a month or so. Are they really going to try and top the gap between 2.4 and 3.0?

    The url on the site is 3p9. As compared to 3p3 for 3.3 and 3p2 for 3.2.

    It's the pre-pre-Cata patch anyway, so I don't see why it wouldn't be 3.9.

    They don't skip the major content patch numbers.

    My guess is that they've become largely attached to tying patch numbers to "segments" of story in the game.

    (As we all know) In TBC and Classic, major patch numbers were content, and minor patches were mostly just bugfixes. Now we see some medium pieces of content in in minor patches, which didn't used to be the way they did things.

    Maybe they are saying that this will be the last major patch before 4.0 and we are calling it 3.9 just to prove that to you.

    Or I might not have a fucking clue what I'm talking about and just guessing like every other non blizzard employee.
