I never did that dailiy because too many people complained about it I thought it was best to skip it
They said they were going to make fishing fun! and fast! I don't mind the way it is now with the quests and other things just leveling it is a pain in the ass
those people are the silliest of geese. Go do it now, even if only once, just so you know for yourself whether it should've been skipped (and if I recall, it gives more rep than most of the others). My favorite daily by far.
Seriously, that was a fun daily. You grab on to a pissed of protodrake and fly all the hell over Storm Peaks dodging it's claws and stabbing at it. Then it dies and you ride the body to the ground. Its a little easier if you can shield yourself and throw on some HoTs right at the beginning, but it's not too bad.
Seriously, you might screw it up once or twice figuring out how it works, but how can you not love a quest where the instructions are: "Here's a spear, go kill a dragon. You'll probably have to use your bare hands to finish it."
(OK, yes, doing it everyday for a year may cause you not to love it :P)

doing it in tank gear was the best.
i don't know if they've fixed it yet but it did physical damage reduced by armour, rather than a percentage of HP, so tanks had it so easy.

I think it still works that way. Was doing it on my warrior and getting hit for (I think) 700ish? which would be like 2% of my health, which seems kinda low for a % based thing.

Yep thats about what I remember being hit for. Maybe a little more since I was in Naxx/Maly gear prior to Ulduar the last time I did that daily.
Contrast that to doing it on my mage and I was being hit for nearly 2k. When you only have 15k health, thats a very small margin of error.

I like this change and hope it makes it to live. I do not like the inevitable hissy fits it will cause.
There always seems to be 1 officer or banker that thinks having an authenticator somehow makes them a mouth-breather incapable of basic computer security (i.e not clicking those punch the gnome to win an epic mount flash ads).
who's quitting their guild over requiring authenticators for bank access?
I mean I don't have an authenticator, and yeesh, talk about being a drama queen
If my guild did this I'd just ask people with access to grab stuff for me, doesn't seem like a big enough deal to stop playing with fun people over unless you're already not super fond of your guild.

The change is requiring authenticators for certain ranks. We had already been doing this via the fun, "show me your core hound" method. I think when we started requiring it for officer/banker status it was just the last straw for a certain officer who was easy to upset.
I think its a silly reason to leave as well, its just for some reason there is a certain highly vocal minority of the playerbase, that gets all frouthy mouth rabid about authenticators.
Its a non issue with us that have been with the same core group of people since Vanilla. Most of them have my cell phone number so authenticator access is just a bonus for any we try to recruit for cata.
Would it actually be worth farming badges now in preparation for launch, or is it going to be like "grind Wrath badges for 200 hours to get 2 entry level Cata epics?" Because I'm not doing that.
What can you buy right now with those points? Is there a reason I should stock up on honor or emblems before Cata?
If you like how T10 looks. That's the only reason I could give you. I'm not sure if it's worth grinding for. Also, it won't matter if prices stay just like they are. You'd have to run some instances at least 300 times to get an epic.
I'm curious if this patch will put all the arena gear on an honor point free-for-all like 2.0 did with the horrible honor system gear, or if everything that takes arena points/rating will just be unobtainable.

"Blizzard finally listening to the voice of reason about the undeserved welfare epics flooding servers" etc. etc.
I say good. I'd rather not be discouraged from playing an alt because my gear is going to suck forever.
"WELFARE EPICS!" or not.
Plus listening to entitled raiders who think ONLY I SHOULD HAVE EPICS is always the best.
They should. At least thier own tier of epics. Blizz is getting lazy in thier itemization. Is there any difference if you get regular t10 or hard mode t10? Only stats. It all looks the same.

Yes, appeasing 10% of your customer base at the cost of the other 90% is always sound in business.

Why should they though?
"They put the time in!"
So?
You want me to power through all 3 tiers of gear just to be allowed to stand up to you on DPS because I didn't start raiding immediately, or I was working weird hours through the first tier of content? Or because I got burnt out on the 2nd tier, I don't deserve the third?
I say keep it how it is: Normal and "heroic", and the final tier is all badges.
Or hell just make the heroic shit just drop off tokens, and make tokens drop in bigger numbers on heroic.

How would giving 10% of its customer base a different look than the other 90% cause any business detriment to Blizz? And yes they do deserve it because they put in more time. Its pretty simple you want shiny t10hardmode then beat it. With as easy as they are making itemization these days all they would have to do is design a model and increase the 4 stats gear will have now by 10% or so.

No because you would still have your "welfare epics" or normal 10man or 25man loot. Its not like these 25mhardmode geared players are going to play with you or I anyway.

Until they bring their Val'anyrs and Shadowmournes into battlegrounds/Failgrasp/Tol Barad!
They might as well just mail you full t11 when you hit 85 m i rite?
What part of "Telling 90% of your player base they didn't work hard enough" is confusing here?
Level capping is hardly difficult. I just got a hunter up to 80 and i was watching the TV the majority of the time. IMHO if you put the time in you should get better gear and stuff that looks different than the rest. Sure I could look pretty on my hard mode mount and have a different looking weapon or shield but really? All that really differs is itemlevel. That is all I am saying and I am surprised there is such a negative response to it. For me I would like that option if I were to suddenly find myself with more time it would give me something to work towards.

So, if they are moving Stonekeeper's Shards to Honor Points, how will we buy PvP heirlooms/BoA honor? Can I just trade Honor Points into a BoA item to get Honor on another char? That would be great, my shaman is always at the Honor cap.

Also doesn't hurt that it's worth more gold than most dailies.

I found that daily so annoying that I didn't even do it with a druid.

Halaa tokens appear to NOT be included.
Also, the blue post says:
Also, the softcap is going to be 4000 Points for both kinds (Honor and Justice).
How is Dustwallow for horde? Remember being able to get from mid thirties to early forties as alliance.

The exact same shit that badges of triumph/frost do right now. justice points = triumph, valor points = frost.
