We seriously need a lot more context on these to know what is going on, when. Still, actually showing important lore in the game is a huge step forward, if they actually manage to deliver on it all the way up to the end, and they don't resort to anything as gut-wrenchingly bad as Elemental Bonds.

Yeah, prices basically halved on Stormrage over the weekend between DMF ending and the ink trader now offering starlight ink. Should be possible to get the entire deck for 20-30k before the next festival.

All this horde vs alliance stuff we're getting in 5.1, REALLY should have been in at release imo, Considering they said MoP would focus on the horde vs alliance. I kept wondering when I'd start seeing all that stuff while leveling through pandaria. Didn't happen.
I think the idea was that 5.0 was the "scouting party" phase, whereas the main war hosts arrive in 5.1.
They said a lot before release, and even in the quests, that prior to endgame, the focus would be on exploring Pandaria itself and becoming friendly to the natives. Now that we've done that, we get to rip the lush, beautiful land asunder for no reason other than to whet our bloodlust for the color blue or red.
The war's been building up for a while, all the way to Kun-Lai where we still kept forcing the Pandaren natives into picking sides. After that there was a lot of focus on mutual enemy stuff, but they're adding it in now in a big way.
No doubt it's gonna lead up to something big.
Probably something that escalates into bringing about the 7th Sha.
Why would you possibly think that I'm a warrior? I'm the most entertaining, interesting, multi-functional, hardworking class in the game. The resto druid!
Droooodly class is bestest class. :3
There's little doubt that along the way to the Siege of Orgrimmar, someone's going to resurrect the 7th Sha, reunite all the heads into Y'sharrj and wreak general old god-y havoc on us all. The old ones never truly die.
Should be interesting seeing how the Klaxxi react when they realize they've been inadvertently fighting against their own god.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Until absolutely nothing, unfortunately :/Until what?
You could go and do quests Townlong Steppes or find the breadcrumb quest to head towards the Dread Wastes and do stuff there (if you plan on doing Klaxxi stuff, then this is a good idea). I'm sure you get one breadcrumb quest for it at the Shrine of Two Moons, if you've done the stuff to unlock that yet.
Either way, it's gonna take a while...
Fuck Blizzard. Ghostlands and Spinal Dust droprates. Don't think i've seen anything so bad. At least it feels like that.
Also, that Dar'Khan Drathir quest. I'm level 22 and it is nearly impossible to solo that guy even as a Warlock, since some fucktard made the extra mobs respawn too fast (3 tries, each one failed due to an extra mob spawning). Grouping up is not an option, the area is empty.

Klaxxi faction has some good stuff it seems and I'm a sucker for mounts, so I'll try to pick up that quest and head to Dread Wastes. Thanks!
And yeah, figure I'm in a for a long haul :lol haven't minded it so far because the quests have been so good, but now I'm itching to hit 90.

What are you doing in Ghostlands? Should've went to Barrens, Azshara, or Silverpine.

Eh, I did Ghostlands on my priest just a couple weeks ago for something different. Was pretty fun/challenging doing Knucklerot and Luzran at level 11. You really should ignore those Spinal Dust (and there's a similar one) quests though. Not worth it at all unless you're completing the zone for Loremaster/Tranquillien rep. The drops are purchasable on the AH though if someone happened to put some up.
Azshara and the Barrens start off pretty shitty IMO. Silverpine is definitely the best out of all those zones.

If you want loot that badly, and are willing to spend THAT much time waiting for the possibility of getting loot. Wouldn't it simply be easier to join a hardcore raiding guild that, you known, actually fights raid bosses? I'm pretty sure you would get more loot that way
The person I was talking to would, so... don't really care that you don't care.

This makes no sense, because even the hardcore guilds are camping this boss 16-36h a week. Loot is loot, no matter where you get it from - it's "hard" to come by early on in expansions~If you want loot that badly, and are willing to spend THAT much time waiting for the possibility of getting loot.

Klaxxi revered. Golden Lotus revered. Got completely owned 5 times in a row trying to kill the elites for the Shado-Pan dailies, had to get my Warlock buddy to back me up even rolling in tank spec. Going to be a lot of repairs before I hit Revered with them. August Celestials was piss easy.
I switched over to ElvUI based on Icyveins' recommendation. I love the stacking buff/debuff bars, and the way it sorts them by duration remaining so you can see what's about to drop off in real time. I'm pretty sure that's the tool I've been missing to play cat properly.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
You get companions with Shado-pan to help you
I just realized,
. The chapter 3 Wrathion Achievement is called "Two Princes."
Just like in Diablo 3, achievements spoil everything.
Except they love to pull every fucking thing and make it take even longer.
Anduin can't really die

No, it's not worth it and at this point I just don't feel bad for you. There isn't any reason camping a spawn for X hours is worth it - all of the world firsts are over.
I had the Rogue with me. She did absolutely nothing to help. At one point she had managed to pull 15 of those fuckers and get them beating on me, snaring me and dotting me and there was nothing I could do. I had to dismiss her and pull the packs away from the road to stand a chance.

Why would hardcore guilds, or any guild for that matter, stand around doing nothing. Waiting for a boss to spawn. When they could be in mogushan vault, working on completing it on either normal or heroic? THAT makes no sense the way I see it.
Spoilering that.
Though I think it stands to reason that that may be the case. I think what probably happens is that Garrosh thinks he has killed Anduin, but he does some shit and turns out he was alive the entire time... or Wrathion gets involved somehow
What if it's kinda like
Varian, where something happens that splits Anduin into two, like an Anduin and a Shanduin
Considering a lot of this will probably be taking place in Krasarang wilds (since this is where both factions land) I am more curious if
Regardless, there is absolutely no way Anduin
Anduin actually does die then someone (possibly Wrathion given the achievement names) attempts to use the waters of youth on him. Seems like at least the possibility would have to come up considering the Night Elves already know the full effect of it and would probably inform Varian.
Regardless, there is absolutely no way Anduin
will remain "dead" very long considering they have put a ton of effort into his character since early cataclysm. The Shattering pretty much set up him and Baine eventually bringing some sort of peace between Horde and Alliance to some degree which the lore folk still remember since the Tauren in the white tiger temple directly references Baine and Anduin's friendship if you quest there as a Horde character.
That tauren is going to be pissed, because he even says Anduin is to be considered under his protection. I really hope they don't kill him off, I know he gets a lot of hate, but I like him. He's not stupid like his father or a majority of other characters. It's a refreshing change.
