    Ouch. Harsh.

    ... true, but harsh.

    :-(

    That said, were I to commit the time I've spent in WoW to overtime and the gym... ah who am I kidding, I'd probably just spend it reading, surfing the forums and watching Southpark online. >.<

    Haha, sorry. I didn't mean it like THAT. But if your evening plans involve various WoW pursuits your chances of meeting them are pretty low! ...then again there are a lot of interesting people playing WoW. :winky: But yeah. Sometimes I think about how much time I waste playing this game, but if I wasn't, I'd just be playing other games or reading stupid shit on the internet anyway.


    Also yeah we just got a new resto shaman and supposedly an enhancement shaman is applying soon, so we should be good. Might actually need a druid soon even though for awhile we were rocking three per raid, but one got a new job and the other has a bunch of RL shit to do soon. Which makes me sad cos that guy always cheers me up.

    Yeah that is pretty horrible too. I've been lucky that every time I've moved, my parents and aunt and uncle have been around to help, thus my mom and aunt do all the "oh my GOD you didn't scrub ___" nonsense, because I don't care!

    Edit cos I somehow missed posts on this page: Too many boxes of books I'll never read is a HUGE part of my problem! I used to work at a place that got free review copies of stuff, so I'd grab them all, y'know, just in case. I like having lots of books. Do I need them? Will I ever read them? Eh.. Also, Texas eh?

    Can never have too many books. Even review copies. And yes Texas. To make a long story short, moved here to live with my Ex, stayed because I don't have to shovel snow.

    Texas is great. Alot of different cultures, every type of environment you can think of, and lots of stuff to do, from big city living to ranching out in the open where you see other people once a week.

    Or you could earn like 8000 gold or so probably. Maybe 4000, depending on your economy. Nether Vortexes sell decently and I'm sure the epic gems will sell well too.

    Sapphires and Spinals will be the best sellers for the most part. Lionseyes will sell pretty well when S4 hits. Other gems seem to rise and fall in price. Shadowsong Amythsist does pretty well.

    Yeah most of us will probably turn all our badges into gems, but there's only so many gems one needs, even for alts. I'm pretty sure they'll bring in some good money though because people who haven't had access to epic gems thus far are the same people who just spent all their badges on new gear from the armory.

    We haven't had the pattern drop for us, and the JC's who do have it priced themselves out of the market to do the cut. So the demand has stayed low. If that's one of the patterns you can get via Shattered Sun rep then I expect the price of Lionseye to go up.

    Large numbers of arena players drive spinel prices through the goddamned roof. Blackrock's spinels have been in the 1k+ range forever (although they're calming down with the vendor on the horizon.)

    It's not the lack of arena players but that I suspect we have a larger supply of gems. We have 19 guilds that have made inroads into MH and BT. Of them 13 should be at the point of having surpluses of quite a few of the gem types.

    I can't imagine that the epic gems will remain super high in value, however. Look at nethers; on my server they stayed around 100 gold, and cost 10 badges. I've heard rumour that the gems will be reduced to 10 badges each as well, so I would be surprised if their cost remained much higher than that of nethers (perhaps 150-200, even if they stay at 15 badges), and we have vortexes (15 badges) going for around 200-300, depending on how desperate the person it.

    Now, granted, nethers are usable infrequently for a few enchants/armour patches and the ocassional item, whereas gems can be used in large quantities per character, but I just can't imagine people paying hundreds of gold per gem when they can get one for doing a few heroic dailies or a karazhan.

    However, I will conceed that I may be way off, especially depending on how gung ho the hardcore pvp'ers on a given battlegroup are to retain every single tiny little edge over the competition, and also recognize that the badge gear vendor coming out first has likely stripped a huge number of badges from every server's population, while further adding to the likely massive demand for good gems, and furthermore, being good enough gear to justify such an expenditure; this is stuff that might not be replaced until the late 70's or even later, if it's true that top end gear might see us significantly far into WLK.

    Edit: I think E.R. has around 12 guilds Alliance side in T6 content (2 or 3 farming Illidan, I believe) and 6 or 7 Horde side (1 or 2 killing Illidan)

    I'd imagine the gem vendor showing up will increase the overall value of gems, especially since I believe a lot of people have kind of short-sold their vortexes since that's currently the only tradable dump, and only so many people need vortexes.

    I'd imagine gems will end up stabilizing at about where vortexes are right now, and, as a result, the value of vortexes will increase slightly since people will be using gems as a cash dump for badges, rather than vortexes. Meanwhile, poor primal nethers will remain worthless, on my server they're going for a massive 30 gold!

    I'd really rather they just awarded badges for daily quest completion instead of gold (or give you an option to choose one or the other). I think the fact that I've made 6k gold since 2.4 hit speaks to the fact that gold's not really too necessary at this point, whereas badges are far more so.

    And still, with badges rewarded by questing, it'd take people a good bit of time to have enough for one piece of gear.

    This made me remember when the Lionheart Helm pattern dropped for me pre Burning Crusade when their was a huge demand for them. The previous 5 people on the server at the time were charging 500g to craft the helm (and that didn't include mats).

    I remember hardly anyone having the helm but a very select few, then I hit the market. I offered 30g to craft for the 1st week and I went up 10g each week after that until I hit 50g. At that point I stayed at 50g with a 25g charge to any repeating customers. I made over 1300g in 2 months by doing this and I became rather popular with my server after that.

    Of course the other 5 people who had the pattern were sending me death threats and at one point actually offered me 500g to stop crafting the item. I told them to go to hell and that I wanted to help the server, not screw it over. So they went on Trade channel and offered free craftings to try and push me out. Funny part is that most people on the server hated these 5 people because of their previous price gouging and they still came to me for a 50g craft.

    I got a lot of repeat business as my regular customers would have them made for other people, which I didn't mind and then it shifted to people mailing me mats so they could sell the helm on the auction house. A few months later our server was populated with Lion Heart helms and probably over 70% were made by me, hehe. I know some people have issues with charging for crafting, but after I got my epic mount with the gold I started crafting it for free for people who I know would wear them.

    You missed the 2.4 patch and that's about it. Not sure if the extra badge items were added post January or not, but there are a ton of items you can buy with badges now. All raid bosses (10 man and up) drop badges now. One full Karazhan run yields about 22 badges. Sun Well Isle was just released in 2.4 which brings a new 25 man and a new 5 man. There are more dailies in this zone along with the max dailies you can complete be raised to 25 (up from 10).

    In short, Blizzard has basically added the last real content until the expansion. They want you to farm badges for loot now and they made it really easy to farm gold through dailies. I guess they are hoping that people will stay busy farming epics for their alts until the expansion. You could farm epics prior to 2.4, but now it is really easy to farm for epics along with their being a larger variety of epics to farm for.

    So log on and take the portal to Sun Well Isle. That's really the only thing new.

    Well apparently Gamespy had an interview with some CM on the 14th, so they posted this snippet:
    "We can't distinguish what the intent of a given player is, whether they consider themselves to be competitive or whether they're just doing it for the gear or whatever. Certainly as far as players who are trying to exploit the system through loopholes, we have some changes coming in a patch just a few weeks away where we'll close a lot of those loopholes."
    Sounds like Season 4's not too terribly far off.
