    Sarg had the "Need if you're aldor" thing going.

    It was gaaaay.

    You get 25g for completing the quest, right? Why not just do that and buy the Fel Armaments with that?

    So wait...you're all talking about people who roll need...for the item they NEED?

    "But I can trade it for an Arcane tome!"
    Fine.
    I'm rolling need on everything. We'll see how many instances I get into after claiming "But I can totally use the enchanting mats/gold!"

    I am Aldor and wouldn't expect to roll need on Fel Armaments. Those fall into the same category as the Corruptor's Scourgestones from the Plaguelands.

    On my realm, it's common practice to just spread them around, one per person, regardless of faction affiliation. Once had like 8 of the damned things drop in a SL run. Roll once, use that to determine the loot order, and go from there. Alternatively, roll greed each time, but anyone who has won one passes until all 5 have one, and then start again from there. This latter version is more common these days, in my experience.

    yeah this

    I just have everyone roll greed on everything all the time.

    Its so easy to turn Arcane Tomes into Fel Armaments that its no big deal over who gets it.

    JAEF's reasoning is sound. An Armament has the same end result as a Tome, and he wasn't going to sell it, so there's no reason for him not to roll. It's not the same as rolling on something because you can disenchant it and use the materials; that's serving a different purpose, not an identical one as in the case at hand. In my groups, it's a one-apiece need roll for each Armament/Tome if you still need rep, or just greed roll if you're already Exalted.

    Those were the guilds of the people in JAEF's amusing chatlog, but I'm an idiot and thought he was on Sarg instead of Spinebreaker. I'm actually on Shadowsong.

    The guilds in JAEF's conversation apparently are just barely getting into T5 content, one of them having skipped Mag entirely.

    2 megs full of terrible cropping and drama. For a TLDR:
    Heroic SL cleared to murmur, I'm booted from my own group after rolling need along with some aldor fag on some fel armaments because I can trade them straight up for arcane tomes. I spend 2 hours wiping them/watching them wipe while I sit in the locked instance, then 2 more hours hanging around until they all log and they finally give up, I bring in 4 people and finish it and get phatty loot.

    Yes, I'm a huge dick. This is on Spinebreaker if you want to look these guys up.

    To be fair, from everything I've known Aldors roll need on the Aldor item, Scryers roll need on the Scryers item, and you either pass or greed (if there happens to be none of the opposing side) on the item that's not on your faction. This is how it's worked with PuGs without even having to set it up before hand, though maybe it's a Ravenholdt thing.

    Oh boy, I guess I have troubles to look forward to once I hit 70, because greeding all scryer/aldor rep items is the only sensible thing to do, and I intend to do so myself.

    So, patch tomorrow?

    I say it's still too early and give it another week at the absolute earliest, two tops.

    Still, others seem more optimistic. And if that's the case, wow. Seven more months (at least, going on the November speculation for the xpac) without a new content patch? Methinks not.

    I just expect that it's not going live unless;

    A) The PTRs are down.

    B) We get a post in the WoW General forums stating that there will be "Extended Maintenance" for all realms tomorrow.

    C) They actually say the damned patch is out.

    Now, we got the pre-patch download a week or two ago, and they seem to be pretty happy with the raid content testing, which was a big thing. I wouldn't be surprised to see it tomorrow, but I wouldn't be shocked if they held off another week or two either.

    Yeah not so much Jim.

    In anything but a group with friends I'd say everyone greeds. Everyone greeds all the other greens so tomes/armaments should be the same. It's not my fault you haven't worked your way to exalted yet.

    I'd like it to drop this week or next, because one of our main tanks is going away for TWO WEEKS next month and last night I realized this and was suddenly terrified of doing progression raids without him. At least we have a DPS warrior with good tanking gear and skills who can fill in, but meh.

    And it really sucks with the way they're distributed through instances. Shadow Lab is nothing but aldor items, and then there's three Tempest Keep instances which drop a mix of both. One of the two reps is going to make out better but beyond that, a person could get screwed because they really need either Lower City or Sha'tar rep, so they need to run one of the two and end up getting stiffed on the Aldor/Scryer items because their group doesn't allow universal greeding.

    Yeah. The hide of the beast had the added skinning skill being necessary on top of that though. These items just randomly drop and no one has to do anything special.

    This is my realism rather than my pessimism talking, but, knowing Blizzard's track record, is there any way that WOTLK is NOT delayed until January ?

    And I wouldn't sweat the Aldor/Scryer drop stuff. If you do all of the Netherstorm quest lines plus farm a bit in Shadowmoon Valley, you reach Exalted with either faction almost by accident.
