Nah, having the optionof all 3 at will is very different from just having all 3 at once. You still have to decide "hey this fight favors X over Y" for example. There is an actual cost for swapping. AoE vs Single Target in the same tier is better than 3 single target, where one is just going to clearly beat the others in all situations. At least this way you'd be switching and there's a real tradeoff (Hey, the aoe phase is the hard phase, it's going to lower my dps the rest of the time but that's probably worth it).

But you still do have the best shit in every situation now its just cumbersome to switch things between fights, this kind of thing goes back to when you had to go back to your class trainer to switch talents and people would have to do all that shit in between pulls for progression its not fun and just wastes raiders time and was originally one of the more positive reasons for putting in the new talent system in Mists the idea was to give you more options in talents and part of that is being able to switch talents fairly regularly.
So now we have this same new talent system (which isn't great) and now its hampered down pretty much in the same way as the old talent system.
Not a great plan.
You can say 'oh well the item will make it better' yeah maybe but we don't know how exactly that will work and if it'll work in dungeons and raids it would be odd for it to work there because it would be counter intuitive to the exact reasoning they gave for why they are making it harder to change talents anyway.
The problem is that they want to offer you choices (in talents), but make it so that none of the choices are better than any of the others. That's impossible unless you nerf them all to uselessness.
Am I crazy, or was this never mentioned before?

It's like the water strider thing *10, but for something that matters.
It's almost hilarious until you realize it makes the game less fun and more of a pain in the ass.
It was mentioned a long time ago, duh!
Shirts are included too!
They didn't clarify how tabards with use-effects work, probably can only xmog the appearance

Found a post on Reddit that tries to sum up everything that is going away in 7.0 which is rumored to be July 19. It looks pretty accurate. Not sure what they will do about PVP gear if the new PVP system isn't up yet.

Great. This clears 10+ spots from my bank just from the Brawlers shirts.
I assume they're removing the trinket heirlooms which really irritates me. No one in my guild is playing right now, my friends have quit, and I can't run the dungeons on my own.
I know, I know. Trade chat, twitter groups, etc. but running with completely random people gives me a weird sort of anxiety sometimes because of how abusive people can be over the strangest things.

What's your ilevel? I was able to get some competent Mythic groups using the finder as a 705 dps to get 3 of 5 trinkets so far, using the same toon. I was only doing Auch, SMB, Skyreach and Everbloom because I think those are the easiest.
Dude, press "I" and join a group there. Unless you suck, no one in the groups even types a word 99% of the time.
My ilvl is 708 but I'm not concerned enough to run with people I don't know. I'm not joking when I say there is some anxiety in random grouping for me.
See above. I just don't want to play with assholes on the internet. Clearly you and I have had different experiences in the game which is great for you but I don't have the time or patience to deal with abusive players. It stresses me out even if their abuse isn't directed at me.
Why not team up with some gaffers? I've always been a terribly anxious person, but over the past 6 months, I've kinda managed to open up a bit.
EU/US, Horde/Alliance?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I wonder... you just have to log in for the transmog shit, right? You don't actually need an active sub? I'd love to hop on a level 20 and grab them, but if you need to be subbed I doubt I'd bother just for them.
If they are in the mail you need a sub because you cant use mail on trial.
Yep, I believe they come from the mail as well.
Also we can get them next week, that's awesome. Can't wait for that sword/shield, so freaking awesome looking.

Once it hits your mail, you have 30 days until it deletes. Not sure what happens to mail when unsubbed though.
I'll probably get the items and add them to my collection, but never use them lol. If I play Alliance again in the future I could see myself wanting to xmog that sword and shield on a Paladin, but got Prot Paladin is so dull now.
They're BoA, but not heirlooms and the wardrobe isn't going to be in game yet.
There is a two month login window to get them though, and the pre-patch might be ready in 2 months so people could likely resub for that and get em. My estimate anyway

Since the new transmog system will be account wide, there isn't an issue with these promotional items being on a low level toon. Given that, when they become available, log in on a sub-20 and get them, no sub required.
Like said above, if they come in the mail, you can't check mail on a free account.

I assume that's the Gilneas/Silverpine/Hillsbrad area? Just shifted a little bit

Ugh, I've been farming off-and-on for the heirlooms and had zero drop over 2 months now. Just bad luck I guess, but I'll have to fit time in for them - at least it'll help with ring levels.
The green island at the bottom of the picture looks like Kul Tiras (island with a really long peninsula thing sticking out) so I'd agree. Also the left part of the map is very much Gilneas, the center of it is where the main town is located in game.
Map from chronicle (which actually has Kul Tiras on it) for comparison.

From the actual blue post:
"And so, alongside removing the respec cost, that same upcoming build will also restrict the ability to change talents when away from a safe area (defined as an area that provides the Rested state). We currently plan to give Scribes a recipe to craft a consumable Tome that can be dropped in order to allow all nearby players to retalent freely for a time - particularly useful for group play. "
That doesnt sound like something that is scribe only.
Looks like Warlords of Draenor has been added to the base game. Makes sense to do it before the movie promo
Those drop rates suck ass. Took me months to get all 5
Good luck

They've already said they intend to make it hard enough to craft that not everyone will have one on them.
They don't know what they want to do. It's a dumb choice, and they're going to fall back on it before launch because progression guilds are going to require them which means all the would-be mythic guilds will require them. And if demand doesn't match supply, Blizzard is going to step in

Arcane is broken at high item levels.

Yeah I'm missing the agility BoA still. Hope to get it soon (maybe this week?!) as I have all the other ones. And obviously I need it for my future Demon Hunter.
And neat that WoD was added to the base game. Got a spare key in my email somewhere that I might be giving to a friend.

It kind of sucks. It will force people to stock high cost items in the event they can't get to an inn or city to respec.
