    They should just implement more titles period, and not all big long fancy ones like Abloobloo , of the Shattered Sun.

    Take a queue from CoX (and probably other games too I'm sure" and just have a fuckton you can earn.

    I always ran with Pumpkin King in CoX on any characters I got it on.

    A warrior's best friend.

    However, most raiders aren't on speaking terms with it.

    I remember in my raiding guild pre-BC, nothing but hunter loot and paladin loot dropped for us in BWL and AQ40.

    Took us 5 months to get our tanks decent gear to progress.

    My guild had three warlocks in full T1 before the hunters got through a full round of upgrades for our guys. Of course, there were 8 of us, but seeing the locks get geared up so quick in MC was painful for the more populous classes.

    I'm thinking my warrior will be my PvE main for WotLK though, so my hunter will have to make do with PvP gear.

    Ugh, good luck. I could never play a tank. There's no such thing as a casual one.

    It's funny, I rolled a Warrior to offtank every once in awhile because I love tanking on my Pally, but since I'm in the Beasts, we have like 50 fulltime tankers that love to tank, so I never really get the chance. The only time I ever tank is like when we are on Netherspite, and god I have a blast doing it. I really should just try prot out for the hell of it.

    Also, anytime I get a wild hair up my ass and I want to tank a PuG, even say normal shadowlabs, the second I tell a PuG i'm not full-prot they go elsewhere, even though I have a full tanking set from Kara. :|

    I OT Kara as arms/fury with no problems. Sometimes I need to tank normal instances, so I tank those.

    I don't like tanking. So I try to avoid it.

    I used that shield until I got the shield from Netherspite.

    That is a sexy fucking shield.

    just dont bring it up

    if you go into a group and say "btw im not full prot" then dont do that

    if they ask "u prot?" say "yea"

    and if they then catch you out, so be it. chances are low that they will actually inspect you

    To prevent a double post:
    Happy: I'm RP fagging all over the place now that I've come up with a (vague) backstory for my Troll Death Knight, a name, etc.
    I use MyRP so I can change his "displayed name" and real to be separate, so he'd be Kaz'Fon (Kazfon) in the MyRP "Name" tab. Zandali for "Dead Exile". And his real (i.e the name I give him) name, seeing as he's the grandfather (and frost influence) of my main/mage, Atal'jin(Ataljin) - Devoted Elder.

    Fixed what, really? I mean I guess they could rework their mob tagging system so a couple of endgame bosses are "fixed" or leave it so a simple sneeze at the main boss will fix the problem and not have to do a massive rewrite of a simple system. It's something I can see being fixed in Wotlk but definitely not TBC.

    Setting up one of the corners of grid frames to have a little square out of combat if the person doesn't have mark of the wild is ridiculously helpful for that sort of thing.

    Why do you even need the restriction on loot distance inside instances? If it's to stop people being carried through raids (such as people buying items) they can already just tag the boss and will rarely be put in a position where they'll be able to do anything to wipe the raid.

    Hate: People in quest blues and greens with mostly unechanted items applying to join a guild pushing the last two bosses in BT.

    And its not even like they're a needed class, being a mage, of which we have two with 100% attendance and one with 95% attendance. It just shows that they a) haven't done their research about which classes we might need and b) don't know anything about gear requirements for instances, or, expect to be carried

    gear < skill to an extent, but thats just ridiculous.

    It's not loot distance, it's loot rights. He didn't tag the boss, he didn't get loot rights. So in actuality what you're pointing out is the solution to the presented problem.

    So are the doomguards not part of the encounter?

    If they are part of some other encounter and him tanking them left him out of the loot list for what the boss drops, I geuss tagging should be necessary, but if the doomguards are part of the encounter, and if they need to be tanked, shouldn't the person tanking them get rights to the loot that is dropped by the boss?
