    What's the rarity of the recipe for destruction pots? I got one on my mage and within a minute of mentioning it to a friend I got an offer for 150g.

    I sold one for 650g to a guildie (So it was at a decent discount) 150g for that is..... weak to say the least.

    Happy: Exalted with the SSO on my Druid, finally.

    Unhappy: All the Scryer effects on the necklaces suck so bad.

    My warlock and night elf rogue are exalted as well I don't want to buy the necklaces for any because they look bad compared to what they have right now

    Actually, I take that back. The proc on the tanking neck is really neat, and the proc on the melee neck seems to be affected by your melee critical strike chance, so while they're not as good as the Aldor procs, they're pretty nice regardless.

    Slightly annoyed: The mats for one point in tailoring (currently at 363) are: 108 netherweave + 12 arcane dust +2 netherweb spider silk.
    At least the robes disenchant into large prismatic shards, so if I buy the cloth I can break even by farming the silk..

    You can farm that much pretty quickly off of the Demon Hunter Supplicants by BT.

    Hate: I've been trying to get the tanking chest from the second boss of Mechanar for my Paladin for ages, and the bloody thing has never dropped. And what happens when I run Mechanar on my Druid? It drops. Twice in a row.

    The best cloth farm is by far the Legion Hold warlocks. Those things die fast and drop tons of gold, but even better they respawn like lightning too. One elite to dodge, who walks a slow (~3-4 mins) circle.

    Also great for farming aldor rep / gold. Warlocks and shadowpriest do best due to multidotting. A bit of shadowres gear makes them even more laughable. If you have an epic mount, selling stuff at Skettis is very fast.

    Today I logged on a level 34 warlock I had abandoned on Magtheridon. I logged on in the middle of Nessingwarys camp and died before everything had loaded up. Ran back, died upon ressing. Thought "screw this" and spirit ressed

    There was a rogue waiting right there : (

    So I just logged off again, I don't mind the dying but that takes it a bit far for me : b

    Ridiculous: I started looking at my Cooking and Fishing skills, thinking i should level them up...

    Relieved: 'Fuck that!' Guess i'm not quite as OCD as i thought.

    So i went into Outland for the first time in this char. Did a few quests, then realised...

    Sad: Seems i've burnt myself out a little getting my professions to 300. So i'll be taking a few days/a week off.

    I remember back when the exp bar didn't disappear at max level we had contests with who could hit level 60 the closest, since the extra exp you hit 60 with overflowed into the bar and sat there forever. A couple guys planned it out so they could use discovery experience to hit 60 exactly.

    I hate losing every roll I make.

    I also hate that I'm wearing the stupid level 66 blue quest tank shoulder things and I lost the t4 shoulders to a rogue with epix in that slot.

    That's weird. I always thought it was common for guilds/ raids to gear up the tanks first with tier armor?

    What's funny is I finally turned in my quests after some Alliance 70's showed up and kept the Horde busy. Took off to Southshore, only did a couple quests because the town was being raided. Headed off to Desolace, as I was getting ready to turn in my quests, a Warrior in PvP epics came in and cleared out all the quest givers/etc.

    I'm running out of places to level.

    Moments like this I miss STV. Although I wasn't ever a GY camper. We did used to play tricks on people though - we'd find a likely target - leave a likely escape route - then charge over the hill at him. He'd then either run or fight, if he ran he met the third member of the group - suitably far away, enough to give the guy a little hope

    For progression guilds, yes. Karazhan drops 1.5 years later? Not so much.

    That said, what were the shoulders? "epix" doesn't mean much. T4? Bladed shoulders from the chess chest? T2?

    It would be especially fucked up if a rogue rolled against me for t4 shoulders if she was wearing t4 shoulders


    I don't know the first thing about rogue gear, I just know it was purple and mine weren't

    And this is a guild that relies on conscripting tanks from other guilds to tank their 25 man raids (also why I am pretty sure I am going to have to find a different guild)

    and try to do it fairly late at night to minimise the amount of whispers you get, whether they say "why are you leaving?" or "sorry to see you go man" because in either case they expect a response and if you get five whispers thats annoying and time-consuming

    You could do it like one guy in my old guild did. And take everything valuable out of the guild bank first. Nobody really bothered to talk to him after that, except a few officers who were promptly put on ignore. If you're looking to avoid conversations, that seems to be a winning strat. Of course, you'll be known as a huge fucking asshole for the rest of your time in WoW. (Unless you do what he did again after, and transfer servers/name change)

    Speaking as a guy, who for reasons unknown, is the gm of a small social guild, I've had a fair few people leave.

    A simple "I've really enjoyed my time in the guild, but I'm going to apply to another guild, because I'd like to try see more of the game" is good enough.

    The little guild I'm in, has lost tanks / healers / dps to raiding guilds, and as a gm, you can't be annoyed at people wanting to see more end-game content. I'm well aware that I'm only ever likely to see Kaz / ZA, I'm not going to get angry at someone wanting to try 25 man raiding, because it's something my guild just won't be able to do.

    Anyway happy; been away on holidays for a week, and despite having won 7 games prior to leaving, I still didn't have the pet. My battlegroup has horde which don't try to win AV, because that would ruin the precious honor/min ratio. AB was the double honor weekend, which meant all the farmers would be in there, which left WSG and EotS.

    So, WSG it was, and proceeded to have 5 pretty fun games. 3 over in 15 mins, which came as a surprise because both sides had pretty even gear. 1 game the alliance turtled with a warrior on 25k health with 3 healers. Usually when that happens, I grit my teeth and wait for people to yell "let them win", but it didn't happen. My fellow horde team mates got their heads down and killed said warrior with a bit of effort, after which I imagine we broke the alliance spirit and their healers afk'd out.

    Happy in that the games were tight, and I didn't come across the "let them win, so I can get into another bg" brigade.
