    Hate: The new $25 dollar mount.. I actually have no problem with paying RL money for fun ingame things(for example I have the zhevra mount on a character.. and I didn't recruit nobody but myself to get that mount, and that was like a $40 total investment I think), but if they are charging $25 for pixels, they damn well better be good looking pixels IMO. That mount seems thrown together, and unfinished IMO (yes I know its supposed to be some constellation looking thing, but unless its a constellation of shit they were going for, they failed IMO).

    Yay for all those who think it looks good, and I am happy they are happy with their purchase. I hope Blizzard makes a better looking mount next time around though.

    oh lord did i have some fun in trade today. i usually do my best to only go in trade when i'm actually looking for something but i could not help myself.

    favorite quotes:

    "anyone who wastes 25 dollars on a mount has no life" from someone who has openly admitted to buying gold.

    "that mount looks GAY and anyone who buys it is GAY and is going to HELL" from a man playing a female tauren druid.

    "if i had 25 dollars to waste i wouldn't be buying fucking gay ass mounts in a video game" to which someone replied with "if you don't have 25 dollars to waste then maybe you shouldn't be paying 15 dollars a month to play a videogame."

    Happy: 8/12 down on 25 man now. We one shot every boss that we killed, and our Blood Princes kill was the first time we had ever attempted them, and the first time most of the group had even seen the fight. We haven't gotten a token dropping boss down yet, so hopefully next week. We were doing pretty well on Blood Queen, but only got two or three attempts in.

    Happy: Got Trauma, which was our second drop of it. With a few people already with Althor's Abacus, extra heals are going out like crazy.

    Hate: Professor Putricide.

    How did you get to 8/12 without killing Saurfang, who drops tokens?

    Also, what? No boss has 360 cleave. Marrowgar has Saber Lash and Sindragosa has cleave. Saber lash is 2 targets on 10 man and 3 on 25 while cleave is a 45 degree arc or so. TL;DR don't stand in front of bosses.

    I think his mount is ugly too :p


    I think my main problem is I like big characters.. Tauren, Orc, Troll, and they all look horrible (males at least) on horselike mounts. They even look dumb on like, the bear, and (old style)drake mounts.

    Invincible is actually a very impressive model. The detail is easily more intricate than any other mount. The spectral steed less so, obvious, but it still looks awesome I think. Worth the 25 bucks, especially for my alts that I'm sick to death of using the same old start mounts on.

    Happy: Last night I was able to "save" a 5 man. I zoned into HCoS as DPS on my paladin. The tank had some ICC gear (just quick visual inspection), but was completely quiet. After Meathook goes down though, he mysteriously leaves party (nothing in party, say or whatever).

    I quickly spec swap and gear swap, and kinda tank the next wave while trying to buff with no mana. Then proceed to own the rest of HCoS like an overgeared prot paladin should.

    OMG HAPPPEEEE: I...won....a.....TRINKET! Heroic version of the spyglass! (trinkets are a huge deal for me!)

    Undecided: I caved and bought the mount last night, I feel kinda dirty... but on the bright side none of my current or future toons will ever have to worry about buying a mount.

    Yeah but the token would be fair for everyone.

    My raid, on the other hand usually looks like this:
    1 Rogue
    2 Mages
    1 Dk
    2 Druids

    =======
    7+ paladins
    3+ warlocks
    4+ priests

    ........

    Then the other tokens are kinda meh, because we have absolutely no warriors.

    The token was awesome because anyone could take it, and our loot rules say you can't taken a token unless you have a piece of tier you can upgrade.

    the toc token system was horrible. You got five tokens per raid, five. Everyone wanted one, and everyone wanted at least two, if not 4. In ICC you at least have a smaller pool to roll against. There's more of a chance to pick up a token when you're rolling against 10 people than when you roll against 25.

    It was really, really frustrating to never get a trophy in TOC because 25 people were always rolling on them.

    I didn't get one until i ran a gdkp raid and just fucking bought it.

    edit: as an addendum, do people complain about gear drops having people roll against it? I mean, bosses drop gear that not everybody can use. Rings and capes and trinkets especially have a high roll thresh hold, probably higher than the class tokens do, and they might not drop yours that week.

    Actually I might have been off, I believe we normally run with 3 priests (1 disc, 2 shadow).

    On the other hand we're at the point now where I'm doing some low bids on the conq tokens when they drop. For my offset :P

    I guess I should be thankful that there's no reason to go above 2P for my tank set.

    Meh, that seemed like a bad loot system rather than "oh shit let's restrict loot based on class." because there's no way that could possibly ever waste tokens.

    Oh wait, you mean no one got tier in naxx for 3 months? Shit... hm. It's a bit better, but the ToC token was the best one so far, because with the right loot policy it didn't fuck over half your raid, and, it could benefit people who it needed to benefit.
