I kinda wish Blizzard waited a little longer to shut down the latest pirate server because now Trade is just filled with people whinging about how great Vanilla was 24/7.

Some of the trolling before was funny at least.
It's a decade old MMO, it's not surprising that once players gain access to the dungeon queue at 15 they vanish from the old, stale leveling content. You gotta join a leveling guild to maintain a more social leveling experience and Dalaran has plenty of casual guilds for that. I think Dalaran only has casual guilds. You play Alli right? Order of the Righteous seems pretty large, active and always looking for more. They even do world PVP, they murdered Voljin last night.
I love lore and PVE but even my favourite questing zones get boring to play through multiple times. I leveled the hunter I'm currently playing almost strictly through RBG's because it was something different and actually fun.

It was also probably a test run for the movie ticket promotion.

Has Blizz ever discussed making WoW tokens into just a service token? Usable to redeem for a faction change, race change or server change as well as a month of game time?
I doubt it since those don't all cost the same.

I'm guessing Data West has me on ignore. Lol
Working my way through heroic with a new group. Having a blast. With that said, any one have any tips for brawlers guild? I missed it last time and would like to get the mount from there. I'm a blood DK. I was also interested in conquering the endless waves in proving grounds. Any suggestions?

They really should, especially for store items. I'd love to be able to buy all the pets and mounts for just gold.

I got Hatespark for 20k and Son of Animus for 5k but I think this has to take the cake
(two of them)

QOL improvement for ranged targeted abilites coming in Legion. I like
I'm liking that. Should make heroic leaping to max range a hell of a lot faster.
Yeah, I'm on Dalaran Alli. It's been a few months since I subbed though. I actually joined OotR for awhile, but left to join a smaller leveling guild. The guild interactions and such are still really active, don't get me wrong. It would just be nice if the "world" felt more alive.
I know the LFG system was an enormous QOL improvement, and phasing allowed for some really interesting questlines. I wouldn't give those up. It just feels sometimes like the game is a single player that has a multiplayer playlist queue.

250 wipes? Jesus and I thought my guild did bad when we had 120.
Just dropped 500k on a Swift Spectral Tiger, more than I'd like to pay but it's the first one I've seen on my AH in about a year. The good news though is I only need the blue X-51 rocket, Swift Shorestrider, White Riding Camel, and the Ghastly Charger and I'll have all the TCG mounts.
I've never seen the first 3 on my AH but last year I saw numerous Chargers for 100k but never bought one. Really extremely regretting that now since I haven't seen one go up in a pretty long while.

Not a fan of those shoulders. Would suit a Shaman more.
They're up there. SL/SL is godly & 0/21/40 is stupid in PvE.
Are they part of a certain Warrior set? They do indeed look a tad shit.

Oh man I sure miss the days of spamming only shadowbolt endlessly.
Can you guys help out finding a pve build and a pvp build pls?, for 2.4.3
I guess that made it more exciting. I remember when we had a lock record our guild's first kills and we realized his UI literally included a huge shadowbolt button in the middle of the screen.
Thanks for posting the pic, but i think thats not 2.4.3 xD

Without looking any of it up... go into demo enough to get sac. Sac a succubus. Go into destro enough to get Ruin (edit: oops, wrong era, down to Shadow and Flame!). Points up to there go into things that look useful, which should be obvious. Or you know put points into random things if you want to be "unique" cause man those old talent trees were so good and had so many good options!....
Then bind shadowbolt to every button your keyboard and roll face/arm/item of choice over keyboard repeatedly.
My two favorite specs (Brewmaster and Blood DK) aren't fun in Legion
Sucks. Prob gonna take a break for awhile and then maybe play casually
Demon Hunter time!
I'll at least level one. The design is really in flux so hard to say how they'll turn out, but double jump and glide is really fun to just explore with.
Really looking forward to Legion just from a visual standpoint. Everything I've seen looks awesome: https://youtu.be/aTski-kio-w
Yeah, the art team has outdone themselves *again*. The game just looks better and better every expansion.
Actually dark nights oooooommmmmmggggggg
Same, although Wrath blew my mind the most at the time.
The art time has never failed to deliver, though. Best of the best.
There are some downsides to MoP - questing experience is relatively weak and early dailies were an overkill. Besides that?
They managed to make dailies work great for the first time ever in 5.1. Raids were great. Art was great. Music was great. Lore was very varied, fresh and consistent. Really a fantastic expansion that was unfairly rejected by many fans.

Heart of Fear.
But yeah, MoP is my second favourite expansion along with TBC. Wrath is very close behind (or equal), though.

The world is alive, in the latest content, the problem is that world is Tanaan.
With Vanilla WoW it looks like it isn't purely nostalgia or fondness for mechanics and design that have been stripped out or lost in the push to streamline things, it's that there used to be lots of players in the 20-60 zones so the game felt more "alive". There's a lot of systems in place to try to drive players all over the game, from gathering professions, fishing, archaeology, battle pets, even garrison rewards but the problem is no on really likes or wants to do these things. At least not in great numbers.
The starting areas, faction hubs and latest content are going to be where the game is the most active. Yeah it would be cooler if there were more players in the Burning Steppes or Un'Goro Grater but with the way the game is designed, it's more about funneling people through this content faster than it is rewarding people for seeing things through to the end in each zone. Even if Legion's flex leveling gets populated through the rest of the game, I don't see a lot of players returning to older content, not without valid reasons for doing so (transmogs, titles). Those demonic invasions might do the trick for a short while, but in the end it's always gonna be the latest content that's the most active. Hopefully by ditching Garrsions Legion will feel like less of a single player game.
The entire leveling experience is just bollocks.
I'm leveling a warrior (my main class) for the first time since TBC & Wrath, and I'm looking at my abilities & rotation during a dungeon and thinking... How on earth is a new player meant to get to grips with tanking like this? Shield slam is your weakest hitting ability, so why use it? Why use anything except Devastate (and if they're previously experienced with MMOs, Thunder Clap)? It does the most damage, and let's be honest, BoA or no BoA, you're not going to die in a dungeon finder group.
Sure, back in vanilla/TBC/Wrath you didn't learn endgame entirely by leveling, but you knew what every ability did and there was no stupid "reach level X for Y to become 1084015x more powerful" like there is with shield slam.
