noooooooooooooooooooooooo, why
On the bright side everyone that taps him gets the mount. So it goes from impossible to simply how bad you want it and how much time you have to burn in the process.
where is he if I decide to eventually try it?
Everything.
On my server the prices look like this:
Fel Iron Ore - 3g
Adamantium Ore - 3g 90s
Cobalt Ore - 6g 90s
Saronite Ore - 3g 50s
Obsidium Ore - 3g
Felweed - 3g
Terocone - 4g
Tiger Lily - 9g
Cinderbloom - 4g
Azshara's Veil - 9g
Netherweave Cloth - 50s
Frostweave Cloth - 27s
Embersilk Cloth - 1g 70s
Windwool Cloth - 1g 38s
Etc, you get the idea. My point is this market exists because people with lots of money want to power level their professions for whatever reason. In the past, when profession leveles mattered a lot, low level (by which I mean non-cap) were worth more. Now, with the Draenor changes and vastly decreased utility in having high profession levels, these prices have gone down but are still a good source of income for people leveling alts on new servers.
As for the profession changes:

Eventually it'll be easy to just join a group finder group and just get a tag. Right now it's awful because you need to be there when it spawns to have a prayer.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
I enjoyed my panda brah picture.
starting to think the reason (well, one of) Im enjoying shadow so much is because its one of the few specs that I never played in 10 years of wow. Maybe I should do the same for alts... Ret Pali or Enh Shammy next methinks. And both can also heal if Im in the mood for that.
that im even thinking of alts is a good sign for the expansion at least
edit: also, I JUST not realised theres no flying in Draenor, and I didnt even think about it until now, after I already have a lvl 100. Thats pretty cool

what led to the suspension?
Per item. Wouldn't be worth the time if it was per stack.

What do you guys think about core composition, will 10 man a make fights harder than 20 or 30?, how well does bosses scale to the number of players?
Edit: Also if someone has a spot for raiding, at least for this week, I would appreciate it, I'm currently at 636 ilvl Frost Mage Alliance.

I was part of the great Poundfist Thanksgiving Camp of 2014. 24+ hours total between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. What happens after I say fuck it and go to get a sandwich on Saturday afternoon? He spawns. Okay, I knew that was the risk. My fault. I could at least be excited for my fellow server buddies camping?
I wish.
He spawned in a different phase. The giant group of Horde hanging out and keeping ourselves company didn't even see it. A small group of mostly Alliance killed him and didn't even say anything till afterwards. Supposedly he did eventually appear in that phase six hours later and was promptly killed.
So fuck Poundfist. I just put in my lifetime hours in that one weekend and I'm done. So glad I'm not actually a mount collector.
----
On a more humorous note... did anyone get to this point and go "Am I leaving a vagina?!?!"?
Lmfao! I'm dying.
Just search Poundfist on Wowhead. He's the rare mob that drops the mount. He can spawn in one of five places in Gorgrond and Wowhead has a map that shows them.
It's a real crapshoot at the moment. His spawn time is 48 to up to 90+ hours. Oh and any sort of server reset restarts his timer. So if there is maintenance this week or restarts then servers who haven't gotten him for the second time this week won't see him until late Thursday or even later.
But as has been mentioned, every single person who taps him gets the mount. So it'll become easier with time as more people get it.
I know this is terrible to even suggest (since microtransactions are evil and whatnot) but surely I cant be the only one thinking that blizz is missing a huge opportunity here with purchable race skins (ala Dota/LOL)?
They would make a pretty penny with those panther guys skin for worgen (its basically the same model/animations), same goes for most other sub-races really. I guess they are still to hung up on the lore and whatnot.
I'd buy that panther skin in a heartbeat, #noshame

In a way... not really. He's only a 95 elite. SO VERY easily a couple of people could kill him and not say anything and people are left camping in the other areas know NOTHING if no one was there to say a word. The five spots are fairly enough spread out that he could be downed before you even run from another one.
He should just be cranked up to world boss status, IMO.

There's no difference in doing croman other than the order of the first two bosses and not dying.
It's not like leeroy where you have to do extra trash, it's literally just dont die.
The other problem is being lucky enough to have that rare spawn pop near you, because after missing pathrunner/poundfist too many time s to count now, people are NOT going to wait for you, they only need to hit it once to get the mount, but they feel the need to make it some sort of sick DPS race.
It's frustrating as hell, esp when you are just out of range when it dies....
whats Croman? is that a CM thing?
He's a follower you get for doing his achievement event in Slag Mines.
Yeah I did this accidentally the other day in a PUG. It's not particularly difficult, I think all you need to do is not wipe.
Previously I thought Croman was vulnerable to the gauntlet trash but nope, he'll do fine as long as your group stays alive.
But he didn't want to do it. Which is fine. He should not have been hounded out of the group because two people (they were both dps and I doing as much damage as them combined, so it was pretty slow going, which annoyed me even more) wanted to get some poxy follower.
So we sat for 5 minutes waiting before I remembered the queue is pretty short this time of the morning and left myself.

Croman extends a run by maybe 2-3 minutes if you play it safe and clear the trash in the elemental gauntlet area before running back and activating him.
Trying to get him should even promote proper play from people as well, seeing as he will dissapear if you wipe or the person that activated him dies.
So I don't really see why you would be so opposed to trying to get him while doing the dungeon...
1. You said the tank said he didn't have time for it, which sounds like a load of BS tbh. 1 wipe adds around as much time as getting Croman safely does.
2. Having good followers is important due to how the follower system is designed. Croman is a big bonus to peoples garrisons early on.

nice. do you know if there's an online place that pulls live data from X Server to see what items are being sold for what price there?

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say if you actively avoid Croman, you're the douche in that situation. It's literally no extra effort at all. It's going right instead of left first, that's it.

Maybe a workaround would be going into system>advanced and turning the max background fps up?
It sounds like the game still think its 'minimized' or whatever, which is the larger issue.
If you're going to kill all the bosses anyway, doing so in a way that actively stops other people from getting something is fucking douchey. That tank was a douche and an idiot for thinking it takes any extra time to get Croman.
Dropping one member is still going to leave you at the front of the queue. It's not hard to replace someone. Croman isn't any real extra work and even though I have him I'll take him along for kicks. I mean he's basically just free extra damage.
Not really. If I asked someone if they wanted to do something extra, they said no, I'd just say "fair fucks" and get on with it. There could be a myriad of reasons for him not have been wanting to do it, he didn't deserve the treatment he got.
But, from seeing how you want to label him a douche and an idiot, I can see we don't agree at all.
It's not something extra though
LAUGHTREY

Well back up.
I guess you do have to walk ALL the way to him and CLICK him.
And then not wipe the rest of the dungeon. Realistically speaking that's at least 5 extra seconds.

If you activate Croman right after killing the boss, it litterally takes like 10 seconds to go and activate him. The tank saying he doesn't have time for something like that means he's either entirely ignorant of what getting Croman entails, or is indeed just being a douche.
Thanks for the response. Looks like for some reason my SLI was disabled. Perhaps an update reset it. Seems to be OK after re-enabling.
new drivers always disable SLI
FML. I'm always on top of updates, but never check this. So much time wasted.
