If I get one of those things I'll probably try to sell it if the price remains over 100k. Same model as the CM mount, and I can buy CMs from my guild for like 80k whenever.
Might even consider leveling some more characters in the next couple days to have more chances.
Especially if they still go for like 200k+. Rather have ~6 months of game time than a mount that isn't that amazingly cool to me.
By the way, I did get that new Frost enchant illusion or whatever on my warlock. Hoping to get the Ragnaros one. Apparently both will be in the wardrobe system in Legion, so account-wide.
Also got that sepia-toned toy - lorewalker's map or whatever.

To be fair they said that the UI is placeholder and that the finished product will be far different from the trash that is current garrison/shipyard missions.
But they've also said a lot of things.

Fucking really.....
I'm not sure how this is surprising to anyone, they confirmed class hall followers/missions at gamescom when they first announced the xpac.
Personally I'm glad they are sticking with it trying to improve the system. Getting really tired of them ripping stuff out of the game because some shitbags on the internet complain about it. Hopefully learned their lesson about that with Warlords and their removal of most features from the game followed by record shattering sub losses.

So is Garrosh's change of character a thing you witness or is that external lore? There's a sizable leap from the mewling whinger in Outland's Nagrand and the Garrosh you meet in Northrend.

Garrosh's character is all over the place.
But anyway, what you're missing between TBC and WotLK is a pre-expansion event where Garrosh requests to be sent to Northrend to take care of the Scourge once and for all. Thrall says no, so Garrosh challenges Thrall to a fight to the death. As they are fighting, and Garrosh seems to be the one that will emerge victorious, the Scourge attack Orgrimmar. Once the Scourge are dealt with, Thrall is then all "okay you can go to Northrend"

Garrosh changed after a pretty cool horde-only chain in TBC Nagrand that has now been removed. It culminated with Thrall visiting Nagrand (which was announced zone-wide) and ultimately showing Garrosh that Grom did not doom the orcs, as he believed, but sacrificed himself killing Mannoroth. This made Garrosh believe in himself or whatever. You can probably find it on youtube.

It's a shame they removed stuff like that.
The quest chain leading up to the part where you're supposed to go to Azeroth and fetch Thrall is still in, only he's already sitting in front of Greatmother Greya so it instantly completes.

Why the hell did they remove that?!

I would bet all of the money that I will make in my lifetime that there will not be a 5 copper garrison mission from the class halls in Legion.

I'll take that bet. Because I bet there will be now as a gag reference to this.

I was thinking of that as I made that post, lol. They would leave it in as a sort of intentional "this is how class missions work garrisons are great right lulz" thing. So meta.
Yeah... I want in on this bet. If we can get just a rock from the current Garrison, keeping a 5c mission reward just for a joke is absolutely within reason.
RIPIP Captain Placeholder.
You seem to have misunderstood me. I did not ask for more information about it.
I was informing everyone that the mount and pet from the WOD digital deluxe are there to buy as a separate upgrade package in the wow store at battle.net.
It does not appear to be available in the in-game shop.
I had personally skipped the deluxe version of WOD but had since started collecting mounts so this was an opportunity for me personally.

Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned about any of the class hall follower/mission stuff you currently see. It's pretty clearly just placeholder stuff using existing garrison missions as a template, it is definitely going to change throughout the beta.

As long as I can continue to make a shit load of gold each week from garrison missions then I'm fine with this.

I wouldn't expect that, either. I fully expect some kind of nerf with 7.0 in order to prevent people from still feeling compelled to make multiple daily Draenor trips in order to have a solid gold income. Which I am totally for, because the alternative is to still keep having to fucking do garrison shit after Legion launches, and fuck that.

Why you gotta be a killer of dreams?

Because if your dream involves continuing to spend time in your garrison once Legion launches it is an absolute shit dream that needs to be destroyed.

Eh, 10 minutes of garrison time is fine. The other couple of hours will be spent swimming in my pool of gold.
They already said they are doing that in Elvinelol's interview at Blizzcon

Really digging all of these PVP changes that are coming. Seems like the first total overhaul of the system from the ground up. Even how stats work in PVP look dope.
Exciting stuff.
Also, Trailer Park Boys in the WoW thread?! DEEEECENT.

Bah.
It'll be the first mission to transition players from the garrison to the class hall missions. It'll be salty too.

Worst case Ontario they'll screw it up, but at least Ashran will be rotting in the depths of past content.

There were also several single panel 'see what's there' events in the comics showing that Garrosh challenging Thrall to an arena fight over some petty slight or another was a near weekly thing up till the Scourge attack.

They crushed Vanilla raids as a way to make quick gold.
They crushed argent crusade dailies and wrath raids as a way to make quick gold.
In Legion they're almost certainly going to crush garrisons and Firelands into the ground.
My guess is the biggest garrison "nerf" will be killing the garrison hearthstone. Just being inconvenient is a big enough thing to remove it from most people's normal use. After all, you can still pretty easily make 400+ gold a day running your pandaria farm, but how many people do that?

Oh, I'm sorry. I definitely misunderstood you, haha.
Don't be sorry, you were trying to help, and so was I.
Easiest way to make it inconvenient would be to nerf missions that yield garrison resources.
What are you doing to make gold off the farm, selling old reagents?
The farm doesn't directly produce gold the way the garrison does, unless I'm mistaken.
Why would Blizzard even nerf the garrisons. It's not you have to put any effort into them (other than sending followers into missions), like soloing old raids for easy gold. It's working as intended right now. Whether it's current or outdated content, I don't see any reason to nerf them.

You answered your own question. The effortless gold gets a pass in WoD because garrisons are themselves so integrated into the rest of the the expansion. They won't be in Legion, so having them exist entirely just as an essentially required source of gold generation would be a pretty unhealthy precedent.
True, but if they do nerf them, I hope they will include another way to easily generate gold in Legion. I want to keep being able to pay 35-37k WoW tokens without needing to do ridiculous farming or playing the AH.
I wouldn't expect it. But if gold becomes harder to farm, prices should come down. Gold right now is just unbelievably easy to farm right now. I remember when 10k gold was a lot. Now it's nothing.
Buy more than 1 month at a time. Right now is an amazing time to just farm a ton of gold and stock up on tokens if you really care about not paying real cash for your account. Buying just 1 token a week (which really isn't that hard to do) you can easily add a few years to your game time before Legion comes out.
