That's the mount? Holy balls, guess I'm doing Archi.
*edit* oh, that's the time walking mount. Hrm.

Why are the 6.2 mini patches better than 6.1 lol.
The grove warden mount makes me want to actually jump into HFC, might have to head back to open raid or something.
Not sure how I feel about the mythic dungeon changes. Having a reason to continue to run dungeons over and over is good but RNG is more often than not frustrating. Especially with item upgrades returning, the two systems seem to clash against each other.

Hahaha, it's true. 6.1 was the worst "big" patch ever.

Valor upgrades coming back.... *deep breath* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~....................
gimme
Also hopefully I still have a friend or two in the raiding scene so I can grab that heroic archi kill.
That's the mount fro Archi.
I want them both. Dammit Blizzard.
Only for the rest of this tier. Same nerf to the tier as they did with SoO halfway through

No better or worse than the actual names of things in WoW.
"Hey boss we need a name for the land all these panda beings come from!"
IT SHALL BE *dramatic pause* PANDARIA!
"See this is why they pay you the big bucks."
Brewfest was also a part of 2.2. It's kind of pointless to single out 2.2 as a content light patch. It was also only released a month and a half before 2.3.

I still think the most memoerable bosses are in Kara. Aran and Malcheezar are just the best.

This change is about a month too late for my guild. They really had to wring out every single penny of those fucking server transfer fees, the fucks.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
One was no simple jester, and the other commanded entire legions!

They were the best. I don't regret my tbc or wrath time in the game at all. Was great times.

I found Pepe.
I also started doing pet battles. It's relatively fun but the leveling process is tedious.

NA token has increased by almost 50% in a couple of months. It was at 34k yesterday, and hasn't been below 30k in weeks. Dunno if supply is just continuing to dry up or if flying and world events created more demand (probably a combination of the two), but after being fairly stable during the summer it's done nothing but steadily increase for a while now.

Pet leveling during the bonus event is at the rate it should be all of the time. It's interminably slow normally.

The supply probably dried up. sell 2-3 tokens and you're set forever unless you're trying to buy TCG mounts.

Valor coming back now makes sense. It's Blizzard's way of slow-rolling the HFC nerfs without having to actually tune fights. Now that all the competent raiders are rolling with full ring sets and are generally just farming, valor upgrades+cross-realm are the catchup mechanism for the casual guilds still struggling with getting a consistent roster for late-stage Heroic early Mythic clears.
The only real agony is having to pug WoD heroics as nothing was done to ameliorate the wide gulf in player ability in LFD. But at least guilded players can slowly brute force encounters by pumping up their ilvl every week.
I'm unsure if I'm going to bother with it, my guild isn't really Mythic-quality and pumping up numbers to squeeze 30 seconds off Heroic farms doesn't seem like a good use of my time. The dungeons aren't really fun anymore.

finally got my warrior class trinket, no sign of tier 4 piece though 
. Think I might take a temporary break for SWTOR expansion.
Unsure how to feel about the valor points, feel like this will only make the barrier of entry for new raiders higher as ilvl inflates to unreasonable levels.

Paying for rewards in a subscription based game is never ok.
Especially when all the earnable rewards IN said game are cosmetic. Being able to buy cosmetics is too much.

Just read the patch notes. Cute, but that won't stop the sub loss. Blizzard needs to stop shitting on the average gamer, and they need to stop catering to mythic raiders. They need to realize that the times are changing and that you can't build a game around a few hardcore gamers anymore. But they don't seem to get it. They didn't even adress the LFR situation in any way. I will wait until Blizzcon, but if they continue on this path I'm gone.

They have the means to see how many people are doing certain things.
This is the kind of data they could collect in 2005. If people really weren't raiding, wouldn't they add all the other stuff, and raiding would be the footnote, to keep their customers happy?
People get this weird echo-chamber bubble around their heads and they think the things theyre interested in are the things everyone is interested in. It's just not the case.
They aren't going to make a game and invest resources, time and effort into something only "a few hardcore gamers" do.

They have the data. But they are not acting on it. If they were, people would not leave this game.
You mean hardcore gamers?
They did, in the past. Then they changed their course slightly and this quote was made:
But with WoD they decided to tell LFR gamers to piss off, by removing tier sets, replacing good items with crap items, and recently by introducing the legendary upgrade item. And these are just a few examples. They have returned to making a game for the 1%. This approach will fail.

You're right. They make a game for a small % of their playerbase because they hate money, and their investors let them get away with it. Besides the fact that they didn't really add anything to the raids besides valor points in 6.2.3, it's mostly 5 man content anyway.
Also, the game started to hit rock-bottom after LFR was introduced. People don't stick around if they can beat everything in one sitting. There's no point in playing if you can clear it right when it's unlocked, thats why they stagger the release dates of the wings now, so people stick around instead of one-and-done'ing it.
Stop and ask yourself this. When was the game hardest, or most time consuming? Now, when did the game have the most subscribers?
It's obvious.
