Yeah, as someone who just went 1-90 I agree that it was the best.

Nice.
Still need the new Raptor from ZG, the blue proto, the two drakes from Stonecore and the sky instance, the drakes from Ultraxion and Deathwing, the drake from Rag, Invincible and Mir's head
Probably a few more I'm forgetting as far as classics drops go

The harder mobs also take longer to kill, which makes them a less efficient method for gaining rep. The easier mobs to kill are very limited in number. If you have more than 4 people standing around trying to gain rep, there's a lot of waiting involved. I felt like i was dragging my face across a cheese grater raising my rep from halfway through neutral to friendly. Now i've got 6k more rep to go to get to friendly. I just don't have the motivation to do it, not when mob kills are 5,10,15 rep a piece.
If you are doing it properly it will be much faster to kill the harder ones that give more rep, you are less likely to run out of mobs to kill and the speed at which you can kill them is not much longer than the easier guys which give less rep.
If there are more people standing around, you can...make a group, and go kill the higher hp mobs. They take longer to kill but they give more rep, they're MORE efficient I assure you. There aren't even enough of the weak Yaungols for it to be decent for a solo player in comparison, let alone a group.
I did this rep in like 3 hours in a group up by Ordos when the patch first came out. That'swhen there was competition there too.
How exactly does loot work in the dungeon finder now? I get loot popups and sometimes it doesn't look like most of the group even rolled. I thought maybe rolls/loot only happened if the game thought the loot was useful to you, but I'm getting cloth pieces and daggers showing up.
Feels odd to win every Greed roll.
Tried to be nice and guide a lost party member back to the group, now my instance quest is incomplete because the other party members decided to kill the boss we were waiting at, argh.

They always hit that hard, they don't charge you if you don't run away from them though. The 'harder' yaungols are almost entirely avoidable attacks, except for high priests being rough the rest is very eays it just has more hp.

It hit for 90k today. The patch can't come sooner.
Cashed in on the free week of game time on the promotion. Not having played much of MoP there wasn't much incentive to gear up, so I've just been doing extra archeology stuff. Somehow managed to stumble over the Tol'vir bug mount, and the urge to come back and use it during WoD is pretty strong. I think Blizzard got me.

Pandaria didn't have the variety of landscapes other expansions except maybe WotLK had but the actual content is better than any expansion since BC.

I'm out of the game till Friday or Saturday at the earliest this week - moving - but some interesting things:
Glyph market is ruthless on a large server. I posted a bunch at 48 hours since I knew I wouldn't be able to manage then and I doubt I'll sell any beyond the initial 16 or so (out of 250+) that moved. Really need to repost at least twice a day or you'll just be undercut. Very similar to how gems have been but greater profit per item with a broader reach.
Definitely looking into it as a market to remain in for WoD. Easy 2k/day or something like that, even with heavy competition. It's not bad really beyond the initial setup and sheer amount of bag space needed (you NEED an alt that's not doing much else to manage it).
Also, finally flipped a Mechanical Chicken for like 10.5k. Think I sniped that one at 40g or so. Can't be sure anymore since my history was wiped. Interesting pet that is.

The 90 boost and TBC nostalgia eventually got me and I'm planning to put some time in the game again, at least during the first weeks of leveling.
I have a question, though: I've downloaded simcraft and ran a few simulations to determine which alliance racial is the best for mage (frost) PvE where Dwarves and Draenei essentially came out even with a difference of like 1dps in T17 mythic gear. Is there already a decent resource for more in-depth theorycrafting since Elitist Jerks looks pretty dead from what I can tell and all the other guides are very basic.
Dwarf stone form seems to be superior from an utility perspective as well, but I'm not sure if it can realistically outshine and outscale the flat stats from the new Draenei aura (and the heal).

It's all whatever you want at this point, sim-crafting with WoD is pointless. It sims patchwerk fights and there hasn't been one of those since...I guess the closest I can think of is Ultraxion over 2 years ago. Not to mention the gear will be different and effect your stats differently depending on which tertiary stat you get on your tier pieces.
Min/maxing with racials is a waste of time. Just go human if you ever plan of pvping. Other than that, whatever you think looks coolest.
After years of persecution people finally think Dwarves are cool.

That should definitely be listed under racials.
Along with drinking, greediness, and beards.

Only real reason I miss playing as alliance.
Yeah, but then you have to play with gnomes, night elves, and retcon space goats.
Thanks for the Shado-Pan Assault Friendly rep advice, got me a lot of new shiny gear.
Shame they did not have any weapons though, would be so great if I can find some ilvl 500ish swords before WoD.
Also went to the Townsteppes PvP vendors but I still had to use honor points to buy stuff and I don't have enough.

Apparently all the Draenor recipes require lvl 1 in the tradeskill, giving ENORMOUS skillups, so it would be the powerleveller's dream.

This is nitpicking, but
The Heroic/Mythic name change is so dumb. Just makes referencing old content confusing shifting the meaning like that.
Woulda been more elegant to come up with a new name for flex (weenie or something, idk right?) than shift the meaning of two difficulties and add a new name for a third.
I don't think they thought the implications through completely.

What was it that was wrong with your card if you don't mind me asking. I have a EVGA 780 and I think their may be something wrong with it so mya have to sned mine back too. With mine my pc tends to restart after playing a game for a while even when the temps are between 58- 67 or something.

As someone who has played the entirety of this expansion I agree with Zefah. I found most of the questing stories uninteresting and very "Oriental" focused (though this doesn't make me feel uncomfortable just don't find it interesting). For me it didn't feel very WoW like. I will say I enjoyed ToT and the Isle of Thunder immensely and that Tier was my favorite of MoP. I certainly don't think MoP has the best content of WoW at all (Most of the memorable things from MoP for me are just features they added unrelated to MoP: brawlers guild, transmog, pet battles, account wide achievements/mounts,etc).
I am excited for WoD. The beta questing reminds me of WotlK questing/questlines with a continent that is better designed to use only "ground mounts". I actually find the storyline engrossing and fun to watch unfold.
People would have been "Why can't I do Heroic 10 man anymore? You're sellouts to the hardcore raiding crowd, how will I find 10 more players????!!!!"

Actually Heroic 10 was WAY harder in most encounters than Heroic 25.
You misunderstand. Mythic is a fixed raid (20 people). 10 man raiding guilds can't do Mythic, they still "can" do "heroic".
So what mounts do you guys have on farm?
Mine are,
Fiery Warhorse's Reins (Karazhan, Attumen the Huntsman)
Armored Razzashi Raptor (Zul'Gurub, Bloodlord Mandokir)
Swift Zulian Panther (Zul'Gurub, High Priestess Kilnara)
Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake (The Stonecore, Slabhide)
Reins of the Drake of the North Wind (The Vortex Pinnacle, Altairus)
Flametalon of Alysrazor (Firelands, Alysrazor)
Ashes of Al'ar (The Eye, Kael'thas Sunstrider)
Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake (The Storm Peaks, TLPD)
And some event mounts.

I recently started my mount run. I have a notepad.txt document i keep open with a list of the mounts I'm farming and check them off as I run through them with my 10 90s. I don't do all of these on all 10 because that's just nuts. Like I'll only do 1 or 2 runs on Yogg or Heroic LK a week because of the longer clear times.
I'm only doing old content because its faster. I'll do newer content at the end of WoD.
On farm, I have:
Ashes of Al'ar (The Eye, Kael'thas Sunstrider)
Fiery Warhorse's Reins (Karazhan, Attumen the Huntsman)
Invincible's Reins (Icecrown Citadel, The Lich King)
Reins of the Azure Drake (The Eye of Eternity, Malygos)
Reins of the Blue Drake (The Eye of Eternity, Malygos)
Reins of the Drake of the South Wind (Throne of Four Winds, Al'Akir)
Mimiron's Head (Ulduar, Yogg-Saron)
Reins of the Onyxian Drake (Onyxia's Lair, Onyxia)
Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake (Utgarde Pinnacle, Skadi)
Deathcharger's Reins (Stratholme, Lord Aurius Rivendare)
Reins of the Raven Lord (Sethekk Halls, Anzu)
Swift White Hawkstrider (Magisters' Terrace, Kael'thas Sunstrider)
Armored Razzashi Raptor (Zul'Gurub, Bloodlord Mandokir)
Swift Zulian Panther (Zul'Gurub, High Priestess Kilnara)
Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake (The Stonecore, Slabhide)
Reins of the Drake of the North Wind (The Vortex Pinnacle, Altairus)
Don't worry, it's not just you. Lots of people share your awful opinion
And some even share it without playing the game! (the "lolkungfupandas" people)

Then they'll have to recruit and some guilds will break in the process. And that's just it. There's too much moaning in the game.
What do you mean with this? Are you solo-ing these instances for the chance of a mount drop?

You need to fix literally everything about that entire situation.
WoW will never survive cutting 40mans down to 25.

Yeah, same. It's been happening with me and my wife too. Random disconnects, instance servers going down, lag spikes, and random ass crazy shit. We've had a few instances where we've been in the middle of a boss kill, get kicked, and zone back in and the whole instance has reset. Last time it happened to us was saturday during a guild run. We got kicked along with two other guildies. The ones who were still in the dungeon said they got kicked out of the dungeon. When we zoned it, everything was reset.
And this is on top of having this stuff happen when trying to kill the horseman. I've had it happen a few times where I've disconnected, only to zone back in and we aren't in the horseman's SM, instead it's just normal level 30 SM. Really weird shit.
Yoshichan
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?
What, why?!
I'm only trying to get old raid mounts for now. If I would try to get these 5 mans Cata mounts too, I would never stop trying. At least with raids, it's once per alt.
Still need Tempest Keep, Karazhan and Firelands mounts to drop. I would solo Throne of Four Winds more often if the Conclave wasn't so damn hard to solo without good heals. Even with my ret paladin, I almost wiped the other day.
Not really bothering with Icecrown and Ulduar yet. 3 raids(used to be 4) on 8-9 lvl 90 alts per week is enough like that.

Damn good set. That's what I'm wearing too.
Leveling my old Alliance shaman to 90 to get the achievement for having H and A characters at max, then I'll faction change it. After that, I feel like I'll be set.

I remember getting those shoulders on my holy Paladin back in Wrath, they were such a big deal to me as I couldn't raid because of my god awful laptop crapping out if there were more than 10 people on screen.
I should go farm that set on my warrior if theres a recolour of it.
