There's a botter named Criona doing the same thing on Gilneas, but for glyphs and the opposite. Undercut any glyphs listed within seconds and relist at a high price, buy em out if they get to a certain point. The only thing that points it out is that Criona is *always* on. Level 1, naked, in a guild by itself, in Dalaran. Gotta be a botter. Super annoying though because it's caused all inscriptionists to stop listing their auctions, giving it a total domination over the market.

More like 45-60g (orange), at least on Tuesdays/Wednesdays. Some will trend higher, some lower.
And don't be so sure it's necessarily someone running a bot either. Could just be a no-lifer or person who can have WoW open at their job with a heavily optimized TradeSkillMaster setup.
Don't be sorry, I know 600g is mega inflated. I'm actually on a high pop server, Wyrmrest Accord. These same botters like to reset the market and control it with all the gems they bought out cheap as the week went on.
Our ore/etc prices support a decent profit at 100g a gem on average, stuff is pretty inflated here, since its in such high demand still. Its just a few bot jerks shifting the gem/enchant market to ridiculous levels.
I honestly do not think someone can sit on wow for 18 hours a day straight, doing nothing but targeting an auctioneer and relisting the moment someone outbids them. That would leave 6 hours for sleep, which I don't think anyone can sustain over a long period of time.

My group's on their last two CMs before all golds and we're boggling on how people are surviving the first pull in Gate. The main point of contention seems to be balancing moving vs risking a smoke LOS and everyone getting smashed by bombs. We haven't found a lot of success pulling everything into the boss room because camera problems really mess up our healer, so we pull to the foot of the steps and just pray stuns/smoke/bomb placement doesn't really mess us up. In an effort to get more consistent though we're looking at alternative strats and we found Raegwyn's video. For the life of us we don't know how they kept the incoming damage low for the entire first pull. Only one person besides the tank seems to take damage at all. More than once I know I see the bomb particle effect go through people, but health bars aren't budging. Anybody got any insight?

Pretty lame compared to past ones tbh, but they usually do a couple. Still waiting for Bards.

Some sort of collusion with Kel-Thuzad surely?
Yeah, that is something I would dearly love to have. I was (and remain) hopeful that making Pandaren able to choose either faction is a precursor to something like this.
Illidan Schmillidan, bring back Kael'thas!
One thing I like about the legendary chain is that it serves as a passable guided tour of the interesting top-level content at 90. I've encouraged our more 'sightseeing-minded' late arrivals in the guild to do it just to have some mechanic to lead them through the content.
Phase 2's empowered whirlwinds were a big sticking point for us, too. Everyone needs to have it drilled into them that *they* are responsible for any adds that spawn on them and they have to both keep them separated from others and kill them (and then help out on the healers)... while still *also* having in mind the fact that they'll need to run in soonish to prepare for the next mind control. I assume your guild is running out for the empowered WW, right?
We've downed him a few times, but one thing we *still* haven't quite got on top of is the third empowered whirlwind (which segues into the shadow realm phase). There's not enough time to kill adds prior to that, and immediately after that we're effectively forced to group for a brief period meaning the adds come to cluster again. We've got our kills simply by virtue of having sufficient DPS that we haven't hit that third empowered whirlwind, but it occasionally cuts very close indeed.
Don't fear the third phase *too* much, there's a few nuances that make it less painful than it sounds:
* People say he heals to 25% at the start of the phase. That's not quite true - he *gains* 20%. People generally see 25% because that's where the DPS on him during the transition tends to leave him - but if you can get the transition to occur at a good time, you can get a good few seconds of uninterrupted nuke. I've seen him come out of the transition at 28% when it went badly, and at 21% when it went really well.
* The phase is very brief. We'll usually down him around the second empowered whirlwind, although with one comedy of errors we somehow scraped through on one go with three (including a terrifying moment when I - as the tank - had one MCed melee on me and no-one else nearby, so I was trying to break the MC, keep Garrosh from killing me, and hoping like crazy I wouldn't run out of interrupts before the MC was broken!)
* You can afford to ignore a batch of adds if they happen when Garrosh is on <5% or so, just focus on Garrosh. You can't ignore MCs unless he's really low, though!
We've tended to find it more successful if we single-tank. While DPS isn't actually increased (I alone do slightly less DPS than me + my cotank when we two-tank it), that gives leeway to add an extra healer into the mix which allows more leeway with positioning in the empowered whirlwinds (Making it harder to run out of heal range, which many of our guild aren't great at!). I don't know for certain what tanks that's viable for - I ( a paladin) can self-heal just fine to do it, but my warrior buddy struggles with taking Garrosh during the empowered WWs when two-tanking, so I think a good chunk of self-healing is a must.
Damage numbers that work for us:
Phase 1:
First wrecking ball: 50-55%
Second wrecking ball: 25-30%
- at this point I'll generally go "Wolf, then weapon, then AoE the adds", which tends to lead to Garrosh hitting 10% just as the third wrecking ball comes, and that means the adds are low enough to be taken out by the ball.
Phase 2:
After the first transition phase: About 80-85%
Before the second transition phase (no empowered whirlwinds yet!): About 30-40%
If we're below 35% when we come out from the second transition, I know we're reasonably comfortable with beating that third empowered WW.
It's more like a broken tram tour through Throne of Thunder. About ten times.

Most of that goes as described until it comes time to kill our own adds. First off, that was never explained to me so until our last wipe they were saying Vent as a reminder to take care of our own add. I know I dragged mine around but I know is wasn't the only one with that issue. But that definitely explains that portion of the fight a little better.
Are you saying that the second time Garrosh heals and becomes full empowered for the last phase he doesn't heal back to 100% and instead only gains 20% health? That would seem much more reasonable if that's the case. There's no way I could see us surviving through the last phase if he healed back up to 150m health or whatever he has.
Otherwise most of your damage percents match fairly closely to ours. The first phase is pretty much exactly matched but the second phase looks a little lower than we got him as he always had closer to 40-45% when we'd wipe.
Oh come on, who doesn't love being told to get 20 things from ToT then turned aroudn and told to get 12 more
Yep, he has very little health for the final phase. It's still chaotic, but there's a race-against-time aspect at that point. As long as you can keep it together through a few more empowered whirlwinds (while, unfortunately, having less space to work with!), you'll do okay.
Are you also controlling the weapon landing location? A group of three ranged can dictate it if everyone else is in melee, and that allows control of the space a bit better. A lot of Phase 3 has to be played by ear, though, anticipating where the safest spots to move to lie.
Edit: I do hope you're not talking heroic, here! It's just crossed my mind that you might be, and I've got no frame of reference for that, and my advice is almost certainly rubbish!

Hey guys,
Im trying to get exalted with Darnassus, and Im currently revered with 5395 points. So, I still got quiet a grind left. The quests in Darkshore has stopped giving me rep, so I don't really know where to go now or what to do. I have the tabard.
Could anyone give me some pointers to get those last 16K xp? I really want that Saber mount!
Thanks.

I don't think I agree, actually. I think P2 and P3 are similarly challenging in two different ways. P2 requires the group to remain consistent and keep the fight going stably, because if it gets out of control, you're screwed. P3, on the other hand, does allow for screwups to some extent (failed interrupts on MCs aside), and it *will* get out of control, but if you can keep alive through shit going down, you'll get through it.
As a guild, we found P2 - at least, the second P2 with the empowered whirlwinds onwards - much tougher than P3, which we beat in only a few attempts.
P1 reminds me of Vashj, and Lich King, and Kel'thuzad, and Malygos, and probably several others too: Final bosses with quite boring and simple first phases which get tedious to plough through every. single. time. Kel'thuzad almost certainly being the biggest culprit there.

Thanks. I have the tabard and about 10K left until exalted now! Do Pandaria dungeons count towards Darnassus rep?
Thank god it's fake x_X

Holy shit that Draenei model is hilarious. Amazing.
Yes, I think all dungeons count.
Some are absolutely hilarious.
omg, there will be so much salt from the people mad about no flying in 6.0 lol.
ahahaha
Industry and political jokes too:
amazing.
hnnnnggg
Yeah they said they would show it first week of April. They probably still will, they just decided to have fun with us first by tweaking it in horrible ways.

The best joke every year is the recurring gags about the Dance Studio being removed from the game due to lack of participation.
I don't know why but I've grown very attached to that joke lmao.

The most hilarious thing about the fake model is the overreaction from some players on the official forums. Absolute comedic gold and one of the best prank from Blizz in a while.
Yeah, some of the negative reactions were... concerning. Some people got OFFENDED by it. :|
It's not April first without April first backlash!
These are the most obvious of the fake patch notes but I think at the same time they are the most hilarious ones. I burst out laughing at nearly every single line. Warrior changes are amazing.

It's pretty weird that people complain about there being no Dance Studio when no one uses it anyway

I hope so. I love the joke but if they don't show the real thing I might be a bit disappointed.
