US Democracy Server: Patch Day
Version 44.0
President
* Leadership: Will now scale properly to national crises. Intelligence was not being properly applied.
* A bug has been fixed that allowed the President to ignore the effects of debuffs applied by the Legislative classes.
* Drain Treasury: There appears to be a bug that allowed loot to be transferred from the treasury to anyone on the President’s friends list, or in the President’s party. We are investigating.
* Messages to and from the President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
* Messages originating from the President were being misclassified as originating from The American People.
* A rendering error that frequently caused the President to appear wrapped in the American Flag texture has been addressed.
Vice President
* The Vice President has been correctly reclassified as a pet.
* No longer immune to damage from the Legislative and Judicial classes.
* The Vice President will no longer aggro on friendly targets. This bug was identified with Ranged Attacks and the Head Shot ability.
* Reveal Identity: this debuff will no longer be able to target Covert Operatives.
* Messages to and from the Vice President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
* A rendering bug was affecting the Vice President’s visibility, making him virtually invisible to the rest of the server. This has been addressed.
Cabinet
* There was a bug in the last release that prevented the Cabinet from disagreeing with the President, which was the cause of a number of serious balance issues. This bug has been addressed, and we will continue to monitor the situation.
Judiciary
* Many concerns have been raised regarding balance issues in the Supreme Court. This system is maintained on a different patch schedule, and will require longer to address.
* A large number of NPCs in the Judiciary were incorrectly flagged "ideological." We are trying to identify these cases and rectify this situation.
Homeland Security
* Homeland Security Advisory System: We have identified a bug in this system that prevents the threat level from dropping below Elevated (Yellow). The code for Guarded (Blue) and Low (Green) has been commented out. We are testing the fix and hope to have it in by the next patch.
* Torture: This debuff is being removed after a record number of complaints.
* Item: Large Bottle of Water is incorrectly generating threat with TSA Agents when held in inventory. We are looking into the issue.
* Asking questions about Homeland Security was incorrectly triggering the Chain-Jingoism debuff.
Economy
* Serious on-going issues with server economy are still being addressed. We expect further roll-backs, and appreciate your help identifying and fixing bugs. We can’t make these fixes without your help.
PVP
* Reputation with various factions are being rebalanced. The gradated reputation scale was erroneously being overwritten by the binary For Us/ Against Us flag.
Quests
* The†Desert Storm†quest chain was displaying an erroneous "Mission Accomplished" message near the beginning of the chain.
* The quest chain that begins with “There’s no Cake like Yellow Cake†and terminates with “W-M-Denied†has been identified as uncompletable, and has been removed.
Reagents
* Many recipes that currently call for Crude Oil can now be made with Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Ethanol reagents. We hope to roll out even more sweeping changes in the next patch.
Events
* The “Axis of Evil†event is drawing to a close. Look forward to the “Rebuilding Bridges†event starting in January.

Iron? I don't know I have not leveled mining in that level for over a year
On heroic, all of the WotLK ones. On normal, I think only the four that show up for the normal daily quest: Oculus, Halls of Lightning, Utgarde Pinnacle, and old Stratholme.
Culling of Strathome
Utgarde Pinnacle
The Oculus
and every heroic, of course
because it drops ilvl 167 loot
Iron and Gold to 175.
Just a note on that; the disparity between rep you get in an "80" instance and a heroic is massive.
If you're aiming for Tabard rep don't waste your time with non-heroics. A regular "UP" might give you a few hundred whereas a heroic will give ~1500+.

Yeah problem there is I just got kicked out of a heroic UK group. I just freshly hit 80, as in last night. I advertised 80DK lfg, got a group, I told them I was just 80 and not geared for tanking it yet,they said no problem. I get into the instance "Ok u tank" after the first pull "lol u suk, we have to abandon u"
I personally don't think 20k hp and 513 defense is that bad for just dinging 80 last night, and having all quest/instance drops. But apparently I need to be naxx geared before I can even consider offering myself up to the LFG channel, regardless of if I tell them my gear level or not.
So I'm gonna be trying to get some factions up for tanking gear
and the trinket from non heroic HoL
Fucking soul shards. Every BG I do just translates into more mobs I have to farm so I can continue to BG and I think it's slowly just sucked the fun out of it. BGs can get boring enough without having to farm for them. And I already cleared three wings of Naxx in one night and well, that kind of satiated any PvE desires I had...
Bullshit, it doesn't exist.
Assuming you can even find a group that doesn't try jumping up and down to avoid the burst, or running in the opposite direction of the tank.

I giggled more than I should have at the gold-buying ad showing up on the WoW forum banner space.
On the official Wow forums? really?
It should give Sons of Hodir rep regardless of tabard.
Wouldn't make any plot sense, but they can make something up.
Yep.
8-)
I have yet to start thier quests because I had planned on this last weekend but the patch dropped so I thought of other things to do
I enjoy them. Man vs Drake.
First time I did that quest I failed miserably and fell to my death. Well, if I didn't pally bubble it would've.
Do BE dudes have to have fruity and/or dragon ball hair?
Maybe I'll go with a girl instead.
Otherwise... yeah it's basically DBZ or Fabio hair.
My priest is female undead, though, but I don't think that really counts. Oh, and my DK, but I just thought it'd be funny to name her "Himawari".
It's like watching a stick figure beating things to death.
The randomizer is weird about names
It let me have Khristine for my mage. It gave me Susan for my priest when I accidently hit it again for Laaki
I know the anime, and actually really enjoy it and the manga (so nyah :P).
However, that's not the reason I named my character. I just have a mental image of a dark, undead knight, bringing plague and death to all she touches. And her name is Sunflower!
