    This whole there is no try thing is horseshit, because when you're attempting something and you don't yet know if you're capable of completing the task, then you are in fact trying.

    The whole purpose of saying do or do not but don't try is just to say believe in yourself, but the truth is, some people shouldn't believe in themselves to complete certain tasks. They're going to 'do not' regardless, and they'd be better off finding something easier that they're capable of. The sooner people start teaching their kids that they can't all be president and they actually have a ceiling based on how intelligent they were born and how hard they work, the better.

    As a bonus, there will be more kids who take up drinking.





    :mrgreen:




    That last part was a joke.

    Tilt your hand to the side, ever so slightly, and then say you lost interest. You did try to drop the penny. Most things in life are not "this" or "that", though, sometimes, you can measure things based solely on if you did or didn't do something.

    If you were walking through the desert and thirsty, you can definitely try to drink. The outcome of the action is inconsequential to the process of attempting it. Yoda was right in that an outcome of a situation can never be "I tried." But, like all old people, he's tripped on more cocaine than ghostcrawler.

    To be fair, the best fix for BEM didn't happen until WoTLK. That place is terrible without flying mounts.

    It's actually somewhat reasonable now, but very few people quest there unless they are finishing off loremaster or didn't know better and went there instead of Nagrand.
    I always do the Death's Door questline to get that sweet blue neckpiece.

    Which is replaced by Alliance within an hour of Borean Tundra, but any quest which involves killing giant hairy eyeballs is not to be missed.

    It's crazy that Blizzard can manage to keep people interested for 2 damn years between expansions. I guess releasing cool new raid content/5 mans/shit like LFD and all that really goes a long way.

    I think it depends on just how much of a buggy piece of shit Battle.net 2.0 turns out to be. Once they get that sorted they'll keep working with other things.

    It's going to have full Battle.net integration, then a few weeks later once the Battle.net shit is done, they'll open up the Sanctum.

    It won't have the Gnome/Troll reclamation operations, those will sit dormant until closer to Cata.

    The only reason WoW's huge wait between expansions works as well as it does is because each one essentially resets the game and makes the previous content obsolete. Very few other MMOs do that, preferring instead to just add new content while keeping the old stuff worth doing.

    So considering re-subbing to farm for heirlooms for a Cata rogue with my 80 Hunter (partial T8). Would like to get the chest piece, shoulders, and daggers. I have never farmed for heirlooms before - what kind of grind should I expect?

    Well how many Champion Seals do you have? How many Lich King Emblems do you have? Are you willing to go with the resilience shoulders to cut down on grind time?

    You are looking at 80 emblems for the shoulders and chest, 50 emblems each for the haste trinkets, 40 emblems each per weapon. Then winning the fishing thing in northrend if you want the ring.

    You can break that up if you have a lot of champion seals or if you are willing to go with resilience items you need the stoneshards from holding Wintergrasp.

    plus the PvP shoulders are better for the rogues anyway (have agi instead of just sta) = 200 keeper shards


    ideally you'd want the... pvp shoulders, pve chest, 2 haste trinkets, 2 daggers and the bow.

    think its 40 emblems for the chest, 50 for the haste trinket and 40 for the dagger.

    seals would be 60 for chest, 75 for haste trinket and 60 for dagger.


    Mix and match as you see fit, keep in mind that at max rep you can ideally farm 13 seals / day if you do all 9 dailies and the 5 man instance every day.

    So resubbed and checked my character... turns out I do have quite a lot of crap accumulated.

    Emblem Conquest x9
    Emblem Frost x4
    Emblem Heroism x34
    Emblem Triumph x9
    Emblem Valor x58

    Champion's Seal x82

    Stone Keeper's Shard x244

    Since I don't intend to play this Hunter beyond getting the heirlooms, guess I should convert some emblems? Should I buy in any particular order or currency since some are easier to get than others?

    You can convert emblems downward until you get to Heroisms, which Heirlooms require. If you're wanting to go for the bare minimum for a Rogue, which are the shoulders, chest piece, and two melee weapons, you're looking at a total of 160 emblems, most of which you have already. If you're really close to the Crusader title for the Tournament (Exalted Champion of the Alliance/Horde plus Argent Crusade and Silver Covenant/Sunreavers at Exalted), you can use the seals you have now on a weapon or armor to save you 40 emblems.

    why is it that the CO thread was locked at page 100 even though this thread hit page 100 3 hours earlier?

    I'm guessing the issue with a new CO thread is that it's hard to pull info from the OP when the thread is locked. I'm not planning on making the next CO thread, by the way.
