Twig said:I understand your position, but...
Frankly, my dear, I just don't give a damn. Mounts and pets increase my enjoyment of the game exponentially. Make that shit unattainable to me and it makes the experience worse for me. I don't don't give a fuck about status symbols. I don't care if having a title means I DID IT WHEN IT WAS STILL COOL. I just like having it because it's something fun to have. Period. That is it. There is nothing more to it. I am not jealous of your skills or whatever. I am only jealous of the fact that you have the mount and I don't because Blizzard deemed you worthy and decided I was some undeserving heathen.
I'm not in this game to roleplay. I'm in this game to smash face with my mace and to collect cool vanity items.
Thank you for understanding and not being a judgmental twat!hamchan said:I don't even know if Twig is arguing for anything. He's just voicing his frustration that he'll never be able to get some cool content. The only reply really is "too bad for you I guess", since Blizzard is clearly doing the right thing from a game design standpoint.
Contrary to your assumption (which everyone continues to make despite me correcting them), it was not for lack of desire to work for the mounts that I don't have them. I would gladly work for them, if they were still in the game. It is because I, quite simply, don't have the time to poopsock enough to get them before they are removed. I am busy with REAL LIFE gasp. I don't begrudge people with more free time than me, but I do begrudge Blizzard for rewarding them and removing those potential rewards from my roster of potential goals.TheYanger said:And yet you didn't want to put forth the effort to get them. You ARE jealous clearly, if you are just going to come and cry about how you can't get an item. These mounts were not like some random chance lottery to attain - they were rewards for tasks that were open to anyone who wanted to do them. Your argument holds no water against that type of situation. Wanted an amani war bear? should've either done a bear run or paid someone to get you one. Wanted an armored netherdrake? Learn to arena. It's not like people with those mounts just lucked into them.
I know you like to claim they had to poopsock for them but it's simply not true, you just either lack the skill or desire to actually get what you want in the game, and thus would rather spend time complaining about it on internet forums.
I don't like items that you can't get either for means that are completely out of your hands - these things are not them. I'm certainly not exceptional player but I manage to get them all if I want them, you can too.

And, no, I absolutely am not jealous of their skills, and no amount of you trying to shove your accusations down my throat will change that. :3
I'm going to keep using the word "poopsock" because you seem to be taking it so seriously that it's not even a joke anymore. Maybe it will eventually wrap back around.
I farmed those library guardians for a couple hours over the past few days and did not get it. It was a very sad time. Is that really the best place to get it?Twig said:BEST PLACE TO FARM JEEVES SOLO GO GO GO WHERE IS IT
I did not have the time to farm the money to pay for the run and I did not have the time to get geared to be able to make the run myself. Arena requires real commitment if you want to me good. A couple hours a week is not enough to be GOOD, and your assertion is laughable at best.TheYanger said:Actually, you didn't have a desire to work for them. You didn't have time to run a 40 minute bear run then, but you do now? You didn't have time to do arena for a couple hours a week then, but you do now? Face it. what you're looking for is not less time commitment, but less skill requirement. The amount of time required to get these things is not that large. Do many people who have them play a lot? Sure. People who are good usually like to play a lot. It's fun to them. They don't HAVE to play a lot though.
And I never said you were jealous of the skills of better players, only that you're jealous of the things they've earned. Unfortunately, you don't get one without the other. Wishing that something earned for a particular skillset would persist to when that skillset is no longer relevant is the epitomy of being jealous that others were able to get it when you were not.
Twig said:Thank you for understanding and not being a judgmental twat!
Though I disagree it's the "right thing", as that's purely subjective. I could argue that for hours, but not with the people in this thread. They'd just get pissy and start insulting me again, and though I find it continuously hilarious, I feel bad for the people who just want to read this thread like normal human beings!

Howmcrae said:dude, other people have more free time than you, if blizzard lowered end-game content & rewards to the lowest common denominator so that everyone was able to get everything, with not much time invested, how would that make for a good game?
Twig said:How
How
How do you still not get it?
I didn't get pissy or insult you. Merely annoyed. Because I never said, even once, that I wanted these things to be easily attainable and you people keep trying to accuse me of saying this. I DON'T CARE if they're easy to get. If they are, that's cool, too, because it increases the fun value for me, exponentially, but I'm not too huffed if they take some time.mcrae said:you said you were willing to have a conversation about it as long as people dont get pissy about it and start insulting you, and im not, so no need to do it yourself.
i am genuinely curious how you expect blizzard to put out a good product if everything in-game was attainable by people who have as few hours per week to play as you do (be it 10, 15, 20, whatever). it seems to me that everyone would get bored and quit really fast with nothing to work towards.
Hmm, those are the two classes I never had an interest in trying. (Although more recently, I've been considering a gobbo enh shammy 'cause those totems rock.)Halycon said:Paladins spam skills to build up holy power which they can use on Word of Glory, a pretty hefty self heal.
Enhancement Shamans have a talent that gives them a chance to get reduced cast times on nukes and heals, 20% per stack, stacks up to 5 times.
Disc priest does damage when people aren't getting healed for mana back plus a healing buff.Twig said:Hmm, those are the two classes I never had an interest in trying. (Although more recently, I've been considering a gobbo enh shammy 'cause those totems rock.)
It's a shame you can't main heal (or at least off-heal in raids) while doing that, though. That's what I'd really like.
SnakeswithLasers said:You guys will truly argue about anything :lol
After running some instances with Arms I have a new respect for melee DPS. My god. You guys go through some shit and a good performance isn't even auto-win on the meters.
I'm really loving leveling all these classes--so much added perspective!

Yeah, just from the east and look for the island. You'll have to cross some fatigue area but it isn't a big deal.webrunner said:can you manually fly out to Vash'jir? I tried from undercity but ended up having to spirit res (in .. .durotar for some reason)

webrunner said:I tried that, but i never got far enough.
Also Tol Barad seemed to simply not be there. I tried altering my flight path to save me to get up there.. but there was nothing.
Bah.
Really? Hm. Guess I moved right past it on my warrior. D:HixxSAFC said:I'm still miffed that there's no 333 strength dps helms apart from a green BS crafted helm which is rubbish. No JC crafted necks or rings either, which is ridiculous when there are TWO agility variations for each piece.

Absolutely not. I flew there from Gilneas, which is the long way, with 280%.mcrae said:yeah, i tried to fly to the lower tol barad, the instanced bg area, and it didnt exist when flying up from vash.
however you can totaly fly to vash from the eastern kingdoms. not sure if it requires 310% or not.
webrunner said:can you manually fly out to Vash'jir? I tried from undercity but ended up having to spirit res (in .. .durotar for some reason)
Also, you engineers, if you go to Vash'jir make sure you take your MOLLE. One of the 'towns' mailboxes simply doesn't work (it shows up on tracking and it's physically there, but noninteractable)
Or Ironforge for Alliance.notworksafe said:There's also a flightpath from UC to Vash'jir.
notworksafe said:There's also a flightpath from UC to Vash'jir.
Near the flight master dude above Org. There's a portal to every new Cata zone in a ring and a portal to Tol Barad off to the side..webrunner said:Edit: Where's the org portal to vash'jir? The only one I know of is the currently open portla to the maelstrom which it sent me back to see once i dinged 83.
True, but I usually AFK or play DS/PSP games on flightpaths so I take them quite often.webrunner said:I know the flight point, but if you have 310% flying it's faster to manually fly in almost all situations.
webrunner said:Kinda sucks you have to go through so many hoops to fly there. Oh well, I'm a mage and that's what portal/hearth duality is for!
Anyway, the whole "green is the new purple" thing is not kidding. Wrath, I had a few entry purples but mostly blue, but didn't replace stuff until near the second zone. Here, I'm replacing tier 8/9 with green quest rewards, that are strictly better than my stuff even including enchantments, gems, tinkers, and the fact the new one has spirit. It's crazy going from 100-something int to 200-something int on a single peice of gear.

That's normal. Most of the serious ganking goes on in player hubs where they're guaranteed a steady flow of lowbies. Also, the high level content is still relatively new, and ganking picks up as people get bored of real things to do.Thnikkaman said:So I'm new to playing on MMO PVP servers and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same kind of experience as me? Still at lvl47 (xmas break) with my warrior and I've been playing through contested areas in the Eastern Kingdoms. My goal is to level up by doing the important quest lines in each zone until I get the exploration and questing achievements, then I move on. In all of the time spent in the Plaguelands, Badlands, Burning Steppes I've only been killed in pvp twice - one shotted by lvl80 characters. Every other encounter has been really interesting. One example was at the dig site in the Badlands: me and an even level dwarf meet in the ruins and each of us want to do the puzzles. We end up running away from each other lots and eventually just boogied and left each other alone. Haven't even met any hardcore player killers yet, should I only be expecting this at max level?

pretty sure this is intentional on blizzard's part... not sure about auto-run flying, but you absolutely will drop connection if the game has to load (hearth/AR) and you are alt-tab'ed out.NameGenerated said:I disconnect a bunch whenever I'm on a FP or auto-run flying when I alt-tab.

yeah, I've never heard of disconnects with auto-run. but yes, you absolutely will DC if you are alt-tabbed out and hit a loading screen. Learned this the hard way as a mage. "Oooh.. teleport to UC real quick" Alt-tab out, come back in: Login screen. hmm.. "Gotta teleport to Org to check auctions" Alt-tab out, come back in: Login screen...
