    Likewise.

    What's 50 silver or 1-2 gold when I'd rather pay that and save myself a 10 minute trip? During that 10 minutes, I can do a daily for 8-12 gold.

    I don't have to worry about it, when my character reaches the point where he needs a book I just ask my wife to mail him one. She has close to 3k between her characters, and her highest level one is a level 61. But her AH work takes her a half hour or so in the morning before she goes to work, and a half hour or so before bed.

    edit: Yah Afty I have noticed that also, just by doing 2 dailies a day, 3 if I spot the Skettis prisoner while destroying eggs, I have gained a fair amount of gold.

    Also uh I don't know about you but I'm raiding Friday if there is a raid. Teron go! :rotate:

    Grats!

    Also, lol @ the name of your new robe. Anyone read some of those really bad Warcraft novels? Rhonin's one of the characters in some of them - I enjoy finding little things like this :) (Just like Broxigar and his ring in Hillsbrad, only Brox was the fucking MAN (or orc, I guess))

    Congrats on your new robes Riz! I know you've been looking to replace them for ages!

    I picked up my second piece of T6 the other night, and while it cost me just about everything I'd earned to date in dkp, it was totally worth it.

    5% extra haste on 30% is... 1.5% extra swings, but my god, does it (and the other little upgrades here and there) add up over time. I've gone from "Seriously guys, I used to be #1 or in the top 3 in my guild" to "Okay bitches, ya'll've still got a lead on me, but I'm closing in fast."

    Now, we just need 2 more Mainhands to drop in a row.....

    Thanks. The warlock helm token dropped too and I'd have had a 50/50 shot at that instead, but if I won it then the robes would have gone to the other warlock, and I figure helm tokens are more likely to drop often than those robes. Plus I'm sooooo sick of looking at FSW and Robes of Rhonin look awesome.

    Now, if Tempest of Chaos had dropped I wouldn't have been complaining either, as it also would have defaulted to me... Oh well.

    Happy: Cutting my lag in half with this registry hack.

    Apparently something similar is getting implemented in the next patch so if you're not comfortable messing around in regedit you can wait for it instead.

    Another Happy: Our raid was low on healers last reset, so I have respecced to heal through MH and BT for a fun diversion from melting face. Even got Archimondes Healing staff for minimum DKP since the other two priests (both with Gurtoggs staff) were happy to wait for Illidan to give out enough maces for them and the 3 raiding paladins for some reason. Not complaining about it though.

    I don't even understand: Some guy bought out my stacks of Super Healing Potions at 12g and relisted them at 9g, which is way below the cost of mats. I don't even know what his goal is here, since he listed only one more stack than he bought from me. I need to wait for his stacks to sell now before I can list the other 50 I have. :|

    He probably wants to set the price and corner the market. What he loses from buying your more expensive stuff he makes up for in sheer volume.

    edit: ok, maybe not if he didn't put up more stuff. Maybe he's just a moron then. :P

  • OboroOboro __BANNED USERS regular
    edited December 2007
    What does he gain by setting the price so low? A Super Healing Potion is 2x Netherbloom, 1x Felweed-- currently, that's 2.5g per pot in mats plus the cost of vials (and this is an all-time low for Netherbloom). He's setting the price way below the cost of mats, so I can't imagine how even if he corners it he can make a profit. He obviously isn't crafting them, and no one is about to list for less than 9g--

    though I guess, if they do, they're retards and deserve to get taken out of the game by this guy. That's the only way he could generate any volume, but I just don't see how people would list below 9g/stack.

    EDIT: Wait, I think I see it now. He's also doing this with Super Mana Pots, where currently the value of mats is below 9g. He's probably playing the market assuming the cost of production for both is the same, and that he can drive Super Health to the 9g price point how he (likely can) is with Super Mana.

    Happy: 2 peices of T6 in one night. Chest that replaces T4 and Legs that replaces T5.

    Got 2 epic +agi/stam cut in raid, asked if those gems were high in demand, was told "yeah, I just gave you half the supply, lol," felt bad, and got 2 nightseye to prepare to have cut into the blue version by the same GL/Guild Jewelcrafter since I had 2 more slots to fill.

    Opened trade, put the nighteye in to have cut.
    GL: Are these going into something important?
    Me: Yeah, the chest I just got.
    GL: T6?
    Me: Yeah, I don't want to use up the rest of the epic gems, so I can make due with the blue versions of the 2 gems.
    GL accepts, cuts the epic versions, and trades me the 4 gems.
    Me: ... I didn't want to take the gems away from the core raiders.
    GL: You are a core raider. Have a happy holiday.
    GL logs out.

    It made me all squishy inside.

    Hate: Capernian. Still. She's finding new and interesting ways to infuriate me. Today was apparently free hugs day in Tempest Keep, and sometimes she would. not. stand. still. ever. I ended phase 3 on one attempt almost up by Kael's platform because she kept taking two steps forward after I'd get my range. And then we kept wiping in phase 4 because every single important event in phase 4 kept happening at the same time. Kael would do crap like MC an MC breaker and a warlock (who'd then banish a tree and AoE fear), then launch into Pyroblast just as a phoenix egg spawned.

    I really like "throw a dagger at someone for 200 damage and then blow Cloak of Skill... dropping me from mind control" myself.

    That said, I do quietly cheer for myself while MC'd.

    And pray the raid doesn't kill me. (they don't. I usually just get feared or HoJ'd)

    ... but I do appologize on vent while it's happening. I don't recall my record for "people killed while MC'd", but I do know I nearly caused a wipe at least once.

    Mistakes were made.

    Also; blade flurry and adrenaline rush were up.
    I regret nothing!

    One day Pre-TBC my gf and some guildies were running Strat SM. And my GF MC's one of the Paladin mobs. And as is her custom she starts playing with their abilities to see what cool stuff they can do. And she says to me "Hey Tom, check this out!" and pops the mobs bubble. Which breaks her MC. The mob comes charging down on her and just kills her.
