    I've found it depends on the mob. Clefthoofs, for example, almost always give scraps, while Clefthoof Bulls almost always drop thick clefthoof, and Talbuks seem to drop the highest percentage of knothide leather.

    Don't you get a "consolodation package" for each day it takes for them to fix it? The package has like... lots of gold and stuff in it, right?

    The care package? I thought if you took that it bumped you to the front of the queue but you pretty much meant that you couldn't ever ask for a restoration because of hacking again. Something alone the lines of 2 embles of frost a day, 10 emblems of triumph, and 2,500 gold. You also get back all of your soul-bound items.

    Warrior Season 8 has hilariously large shoulderpads. That armor set on an orc must look extra special.

    Paladin Season 8 would probably look much better if you turned the helmet off. Still reminds me of "robot dildo armor" like every Paladin set since Tier 4 / Season 1 has.

    He didn't get the horse until he was the Lich King. It was long dead before War 3: he ressurects the corpse, you can find the burial mound in game I believe.

    Oh, I was wrong, it was right after he killed his father. I confused him returning as a Death Knight with returning as the Lich King. The empty grave can be found at the Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades ingame though, I was right about that.

    Somewhere there's this massive horde of Scourge that would spontaneously be released upon Azeroth if we officially ended the Lich King forever.

    In other words, we trashed all of his Lieutenants, Commanders and Generals. We ransacked his stores, destroyed his resources, raided his camps and citadels, and ultimately drove our swords through his dark, cold heart. Yet, we can't end the Scourge.

    Yeah, it's kinda weak. A "You Win. But Not Really."

    It's basically the only way they can explain why the Forsaken continue to exist after the Lich King's death. Everyone knew something lame was going to be used to explain why, so I don't get why people are surprised by it.

    Bah. They could have just changed or added a couple things so we're doing quests for the Argent Crusade to help cleanup the remnants of the Scourge post Arthas. Simple. No retcon bs needed.

    The idea they've come up with? The Scourge would go berserk without Arthas to control them and descend upon Azeroth like a plague of locusts, destroying everything. To prevent this from happening someone must take his place. This makes no logical sense. The destruction of all life on Azeroth was the Lich King's goal in the first place. If they can't do it with the big guy in charge at the height of his power they're not gonna accomplish it after everyone's done kicking his ass and tearing his entire army to shreds.

    Simple, easy answer: In the drive towards Icecrown we didn't kill all his forces along the way and the Argent Crusade could use a hand mopping up what's left. The Argent Crusade is now in charge of cleanup detail. Done. There is no need to come up with some convoluted answer to why the scourge continue to exist after Arthas is toast.

    Except if they do that they can't have the new Lich King become corrupted and start terrorizing the world all over again which is where I think this is headed eventually. They don't want to kill off the Lich King permanently.

    Why is the forsaken reliant upon the Lich King? Do you think they'll suddenly come back to life when he croaks?

    Here's what we have:

    -Frostmourne is, to some degree, alive. At the very least, it hungers.
    -Above has Arthas's soul.
    -Arthas has no heart. We broke it.
    -Even WITH said heart, Arthas did not do a SINGLE THING to prevent the death of his father and enabling of Archimonde's summoning. So why the FUCK is he holding the Scourge in check NOW?

    How do I even START to believe that Arthas has been fighting the war intentionally bad? It doesn't make a lick of a sense and just snuffs out his last scrap of villain.

    Of course, there may be 1,000 new details in retcons in books, comics and other things that may enlighten. Maybe those important details should be in the game.

    Arthas always seemed to come across as a control freak (see also: The culling of Strat, the burning of the expedition's ships in Northrend), and it just doesn't seem to be in his nature to let the dogs off the leash.

    I am perfectly fine with the fact that Arthas spend a good chunk of vanilla WoW/TBC sitting on the throne fighting Ner'zhul. That makes sense, I guess.

    But once he was in control? He's leading an army, not letting troops fly off the leash.

    Dear Blizzard: Why are all of the good Melee DPS trinkets only drop in 25? I mean come on I can't do 25 since its well not enough people to. Instead I have to buy some shitty badge trinket with a crap load of hit I don't need just because you can't put any melee DPS trinkets in 10 mans. Thanks.

    At least when the silly goose boss in FoS gives up his trinket I'll only have to find one more that doesn't suck.

    Let's posit for a minute what would happen if Arthas wasn't in control of the Scourge. The unifying will of the Lich King that drove them would be gone. This means they can do whatever the fuck they want. Without the Lich King to drive them the Scourge forces will splinter into a million different directions.

    Why? Because they don't all want to serve the Lich King or want the same things he does.

    It's likely the Scourge Commanders would retain control over those forces under their command. They might have trouble doing so. The mindless undead won't have Arthas' will there constantly keeping them focused. Also, Arthas will not be there to suppress the more rebellious impulses of some. The Scourge commanders will probably try to solidify their power and hide out for awhile. Some might try to carve out their own little empire.

    The more mindless undead without a commander would probably wander about aimlessly and attack whatever happens to cross their path. They're no longer driven to achieve military objectives or even concerned with such things. Some of the recently freed undead might join the Forsaken. The Nerubians? They'll probably rebuild their kingdom.

    But they're not going to descend on Azeroth as a single, unstoppable force.

    As for what Arthas has been doing the past five years? He's been building up Icecrown glacier into an impregnable fortress (which we pretty much completely bypassed with the use of wooden sticks).

    The implication is that Arthas's military mind is a weakness in that he's treating the scourge like an army rather than a force of nature. Without a leader/controller they become said force of nature and are a much tougher foe to stop. The leader types may go do whatever they want, but the low level mindless ghouls would just go around hogwild. Basically they're going to put someone in charge of the Scourge, weakening them and holding them in place until the Argents can clean them all out.
