Then I did a quick cut and paste and present this post instead. So Jaedia’s dislike of female Orcs is to blame. Purely.

Anyway, I noticed that ny taste of wow races has changed so much over the years:

Which leaves me with these choices, for now:

I got reminded by this easily when I read The Login Screen by the Gnome Tank for Life, I’m always partly living in the past, having fond memories of.. stuff. Yes, basically everything.

While I’m mostly quick at adapting gameplay changes, I’m an avid collector of old T1 and T2 gear – it looks just so much more awesome, and especially distinct.

I’m not a RP person in WoW, but I’m desperately waiting for some “style” feature so I can look like I’m wearing T1 (Nightslayer) while having the stats of my T9/T10 shinies. Disable it in Battlegrounds and Arenas, I don’t care.

I want a config option to select my login screen of choice, I’d be using the vanilla one still.

I know there’s lots of ingame stuff that changed and much of it is really for the better, but these small cosmetic changes that wouldn’t affect any other player (unless you’d have an aversion to soup bowl or banana shoulders…) – I WANT.

Thanks, that is all.

First try, Deadmines.

Everything up and down, but not too bad.

Warlock dies and doesn’t respond for some minutes, gets kicked.

Replacement Rogue comes in.

No one pays attention to patrols, it still works.

Just as we want to go down to the Smelting area, Tank needs a Relog.

Paladin Healer and Rogue proceed to run into mobs and die.

Rogue can’t find entrance, waits for res.

Paladin Healer can’t see his corpse.

15 mins pass (where I surf the web) and no Tank in sight.

This is where I leave.

Second try, Deadmines.

(Other) Hunter is semi-afk while having lunch, has growl on, spams chat then goes offline.

Rogue needs on Cloth SpellPower-Gloves, wins and equips them. (He has two Heirloom weapons, shouldn’t be THAT much of a noob.)

Shaman is infuriated, stops healing until he gets the gloves.

Tank isn’t bothered and continues to pull.

This is where I leave.

That’s all.

My Mage hit 80 at some point in time recently, got 2T9 today. Otherwise just running a few daily randoms and trying to gear up my Alliance Rogue. Not really much play time in general, busy with uni stuff.

My Mage has been Frost for 80 levels, with a 2h Fire intermezzo at about level 29.

Here’s a shoutout to krizzlybear, who has a nice Frost Mage Raiding Cheat Sheet available.

Sadly this got online about 48h after I finishes my research. Bah, slacker. No seriously, go read it. It’s very good. Apart from the one comment that calls the Arcane rotation less complicated than Frost. I can’t think of anything simpler than casting Frostbolt and watching out for one proc.

Not going to bother with rep rewards and blues, although they might be slightly better, sometimes they’re not as easy accessible due to rep grinds. This might be reworked.

Yes, there’s two tank weapons in there. Don’t you dare roll need over a tank, even off-spec.

But before sharding, take em and toss your party 20g. Same goes for ranged weapons.

So far still happy with all the randoms, apart from a weird tank every now and then or DPS where I do more DPS on my Rogue than the 2 others, it’s fine.

When I installed RankWatch, first out of curiosity how much hits I would get, I thought people might be pissed, until now one person didn’t respond and I’ve already got like 10 “Thank You”, because they seemed to have misplaced stuff on their bars, dinged 80 recently and forgot to train or were lost in dualspec Nice addon.

On my tank I’ve jumped the bandwagon and tried Tidy Plates and Threat Plates, quite nice for trigger happy DPS in heroics.

Over and out.

I just stumbled upon this nice post by KarthisAndrew of Teeth and Claws, back when he played WoW. I’ve not so much got raiding stuff in my bags nowadays, but it’s still full. Basically on every character I have, and it’s not that I abuse all my alts as bank characters. 70 Hunter – Leather, 70 Priest – Enchanting mats, 70 Warlock – all Northrend food, 7x Mage – Engineering mats, 80 Shaman & Druid – Herbs, 80 Warrior – Ore and Bars, 6x Paladin – Gems and JC mats… No wonder they’re all mostly full. Then the older characters (Rogue, Warrior and Druid especially) have a bank full of old Tier gear I don’t want to delete or sell and a ton of other stuff. Soo glad mounts and pets are spells nowadays.

But let’s get to the gory details:

Let’s examine this from left to right and from top to bottom.

First there’s a column of spare gear and gems, next to it buff food and scrolls and costumes

The whole row of epics in the middle is my seldomly used pvp gear, below are poisons and then consumables and fun stuff.

Below the poisons are even more consumables, flasks, pots, Nagrand cherries, Noggenfogger, Speed Pot reagents, a Direbrew remote (working on Thorium Brotherhood rep, so need that every few days) and an Iron Boot Flask.

Then there’s an assortment of Drums, a Yeti, Bandages, Ogri’la Healthstones, a Horde Banner, PvP trinket, Fishing Equipment.

Bottom row is Hearthstone, free Black Temple teleport, Skinning Knife, Proxy of Nozdormu, Thieves’ Tools, Memento, AQ rep stuff, Piccolo, more Fishing.

And another one:

Top two rows: Leftover trinkets, Quest items, Wolvar RAWR, Wormhole Generator, Flasks, Buff stuff

Next two rows: More quest items, buff items, potions and elixirs

Now the immensely long rows:

First, food and more potions

Second, ZG rep items (doing a run for rep and mounts whenever there is time), then arrows and 2 pieces of PvP gear

Third, Food again (hmm..), quest item for UBRS key (yay), Noggenfogger, Seeds, Nagrand Cherries, Bombs, Health Potions, Runes of Shielding/Warding, Bandages

Fourth and fifth, my Fury DPS gear, not in top shape

And in the bottom row Hearthstone, my trusty Mote Extractor, Moll-E, Seaforium, Repair Bots, Ultrasafe Teleports, Army Knife

Isn’t that a lot of Junk?

Didn’t really count my Emblems, but I think it’s been 7 Frost and about 40 Triumph for my Shammy:

• Razorscale, Weekly Raid
• ToC 10
• “Daily” Heroic
• Countless random heroics

Oh and we even managed to do Watch Him Die, Hadronox Denied and Zombiefest! in one group, quite awesome.

Instead it’s bringing stupdity up to the next level.

I’m not talking about the first boss, where only our disenchanter greeded and got the Abyss Crystal. As he’s from another server, I’m not sure we could have rolled and traded it then.

I’m also not talking about the second boss, where I still didn’t get it and passed. The other 4 all chose “Disenchant” and one randomly got the Crystal – fine.

No, I’m talking about the next boss, where 4 people chose “Disenchant” and our tank druid wanted to “Need” the cloth belt, as it was a clear upgrade for his healing set. But no, he could not click “Need”. We don’t know if it’s because he wears leather, because he joined as Tank in the LFG tool, why we couldn’t change “Need before Greed” to “Group Loot” or why the hell this can happen that some upgrade is automatically sharded…
