It's not *necessarily* the DPS's fault, it's in part also the responsibility of the tanks to spawn sufficient mobs to reach the timer, and the responsibility of the raid leader to split the groups correctly; no use having all your best DPS on one side!
Holy shit. MEGATON.
Was he the guy who used to have a lot of inside information about WoW? Correct me if I'm completely wrong though.
I'm pretty sure he's the guy in charge of MMOChampion.
He runs MMO-Champion.
Did used to leak a lot of stuff but I believe he ended up having to make an agreement with Blizzard iirc.
Yeah I thought so, but I really wasnt sure.
Getting pretty hyped for Blizzcon now!
Yeah, MMO-Champion popped to fame with all the leaks / data mined stuff he was posting. Blizz put a stop to that by making them an official fan site :d

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
They still tend to have datamines and leak shits first, so I wouldn't say blizz really put a "stop" to it.
From talking to a Blizz guy at the last BlizzCon:
Yeah someone still leaks to him, and the reason they pushed Curse to make it a part of their network is so that he would stop posting the leaks because he'd be under an NDA.
Well, the most important thing people want to be leaked (what the hell is the next expansion) hasn't happen yet.
I guess there was that time with the "Dark Below" title, but that turned out being fake.
Yeah from PTRs and stuff. Back when he started he had data mined stuff from the Friends & Family Alpha.
Kind of depends. Obviously, difficulty varies with difficulty level, but the general pattern is that the mogu massives do a lot of raid damage and are better tackled solo, and the mantid guys are pretty manageable and you want to open smalls/mediums alongside it and have 3ish mobs up at all times.
I'll look that up. It makes sense, so I'll see what happens the next time we do it.
Man, Blizzcon is so close. I can taste it.
My body is ready! Almost. I need more coffee first.
I got my first one hander last friday, and its the first one I have seen dropped in 6 months. So.. I'm gonna have to wait another 6 months to see another one hander before I use it.
I hope the next expansion is going to be in another alien world like Outlands, especially with the Burning Crusade Legion tease we got from Wrathion during MoP. Love the look of the alien zones, especially Zangarmarsh. Even the nightmarish Blade's Edge Mountains look badass with the giant spikes everywhere.

Question about Challenge modes.
Do you need Blue Heroic gear to do it or can you go with your current gear and it automatically adjusts to the required challenge ilvl?

Don't worry, they'll improve the heirlooms again.
This time for 1-90, for 2500 Justice points a piece, assuming you own the 1-85 version, which you also need to pay extra Justice points to upgrade the 1-80 version. And to make matters worst, lvl 100 heroics bosses will now only drop 50 Justice points instead of 100.

I'll probably come back around christmas. My guild is on hiatus playing FFXIV so I'll just end up doing LFR seige of ogrimmar and probably unsub again. At least until the next expansion.

They have to work on making the game more alt friendly. Making heirlooms more accessible is a good start. More importantly, they gotta make it easier to play with alts in end game. This is the first expansion where I've had 3 chars at max level, and I quickly realised keeping up with all three just burns you out way too fast. I dropped my pala tank. Next exspansion I'll probably prioritize it over my resto shaman though, as I feel that a good or bad tank will affect the raid more than a healer, and I am tired of subpar tanks.
Making the game more alt friendly is on top of my wish list for the next exspansion, along with tri specs. Dual spec just doesn't cut it anymore.
TBC times or when? MMOC was already the place to go when I started playing the game in early TBC and I remember them posting news from WotLK beta (including the very popular dancing Lich King model). Hell, in Cata MMOC featured a direct link to IRC datamining channel where discoveries were posted as they were made heh.

It down (not up) grades your gear to 463. There are better/worse items based on the way it scales gear, you need to play around with it a bit.
Thought this video was interesting, curious if anyone agrees with his choices.
Top 5 Scumbags in WoW's History (side note - they're all PvE/Raid related)
5. People who went to low-population servers to bang the AQ gong just so they could get the mount and the title - screwing over the people already on that server who had planned a specific time to start the event so everyone could reap the rewards. Also, Greek raiders.
4. Rogues who camped out The Black Temple and cheesed loot spawns and raid resets in order to get a Warglaive to show up on Illidan's loot table.
3. Gearscore and the assholes who cared about it, especially in WotLK
2. Blizzard's decision to make 25-mans and 10-mans the same difficulty in Cata, screwing up the balance for 10-mans.
1. DKP abusers, and - to a lesser extent - DKP in general.

What?
Why does that indicate anything? He's in the UK or something right? It's probably just super expensive for the guy and he finally decided to go.

I'm just trying to hype myself up. It probably doesn't mean anything at all and you're right. Don't mind me.

Just had about the best flex group ever. Clean 1 shot of blackfuse, 1-shot of paragons even though a healer left right at the pull, and killed Garrosh on the 2nd attempt with like 3 people in the raid still alive.
Still no fucking weapon, but I at least got 2 tier pieces out of it.

Not bad!
Went and did Flex 4 on my Hunter earlier and got a trinket off bonus roll and the bow from Paragons.
(Which BTW, is pretty neat. It has the sonic rings and crap coming from the bow when you shoot it sorta like the Arch gun.)
One-shotted Siegecrafter and Paragons which was nice.
Garrosh took us several attempts, but we finally got him.
Didn't get anything from him though and my controls/keys completely went to shit early on in our first few attempts.
Fun Fact: Doing Garrosh in First-Person View kinda sucks.

I got 5 on my mage the first week, and 4 this week. Just need 3 more, out of which 2 are guaranteed, so I pretty much assume I'll have the legendary the next week.
Just need 4 on my shaman, but he's given me a little more reason to be skeptical. Last week I just needed 2 secrets. I got one of the first boss I did in tot so I was confident I wouldn't even have to waste any of the bosses in part 3/4 or soo. No such luck. Didn't get the last secret before twins. That left me with the 2 guaranteed rune stones plus one more from one of the soo bosses. I got 5 this week though. So I still think I'll get the 4 I need next week. Just not as confident as I am with my mage.

I'm glad I had a raiding guild in Wrath. I remember this, and it was pig disgusting.
Just as a quick update: We got Nazgrim and Malk yesterday, so in the last ten minutes we threw in a couple of pulls on Spoils. It looks like the same pull order is effective enough in normal, too; we wiped, but that was due to not respecting the matter swap ability from the golems, not through poor kill rate.
Good shit! We failed HARD on Malk yesterday because some of our people are really lacking in raid awareness and kept dying to avoidable shit. ALL. THE. TIME. It got my raid leader so incredibly pissed (and me too).
