Am I too old to be playing this sporadically at 25? For some reason I participated in a survey in the general channel and answered with "20+" and a bunch of kids started harassing me. I can't be the only one...

holy damage doesn't need a buff because it doesn't have to contend with resists. although CoE pretty much negates resists, too... but still.
plus the new paladin judgement system should increase holy damage in addition to hp/mana regen and a possible snare or at least immunity from speed boosts.

Okay, so I've got a question, and I think I may know the direction of the answers, but not the exacts, so I'm going to ask anyway.
As an almost 70 Draenei Hunter who would be considered a "casual" player, who hasn't done a lot of battlegrounds, and who has almost completely soloed the entire game, what is my best chance for getting a "set" of armor that would be worth the time and investment getting? When I say set, I'm taking those fancy armor sets I see all the high levels sporting with the flaming shoulders and the glowing bits and the armor that actually looks like it goes together.
Being that I'm level 67, I appreciate the armor I've been able to piece together for myself, but at the same time, I kind of feel bad about looking like such a hobo at such a high level. My thinking is that I might just be better to keep doing what I do and wait for Wrath to come, because being a more casual player, I'd hate to put in the time to get a set that I probably wouldn't even be able to complete by the end of the year, when Wrath would hit and no doubt make my efforts useless (due to the firsts quests giving me better stuff then I've just been struggling to collect).
Honestly, I can't stand instances/raids that go past one hour or so in length, so that's probably out. I know I can get an okay looking (stat wise) set from the Alliance heroes hall thing, which I can maybe earn if I start going nuts in PVP stuff.
Beyond those two options, though, is there anything else? I'm pretty sure there isn't, but still wanted to ask. If not something "Tier" or a set that gives you bonuses for having multiple pieces of the same types or whatever, is there any set more common that would be worth going after? I just hate always having my character looking so mismatched, so even something decent but not awesome where I can quest for some of the pieces then hope to find in the auction house for the rest, I'd love to hear recommendations.

crafting is your only option outside of honored rep with the 4 different tbc instance factions (lamer hold, keepers of time, shatar and cenarion expedition) for a blue pvp set, or honor grinding for season 2 armor.
but if you're not even 70 yet, I don't think you'd do the pvp grind to get the season 2 armor since it takes a lot of time.

In my last guild, I dont think we had a single person under 20, and our MT was like 45. PC games in general cater to an older crowd. But fiddling around in general chat channels and the such, during summer break you're bound to get largely dumbfucks.
I've never left my general or trade chat on, every time I made a character I turn 'em off right away.

So, running around AB today on my friends rogue with slayer armor and both glaives was fucking awesome. Most other horde just followed me around while I soloed the alliance as they tried to run from me. :lol :lol

But how does it work? Say i have mats for an enchant, i put it on AH how? I select from a list of avail with the mats i have and it will automatically take the mats required from my inventory?

Maybe I've just never noticed it before, but does everyone have a folder in their main WoW directory called 'WTF' ?
Just seems strange, inside are a bunch of .lua files. Just asking cuz hadn't been in there for a while and was adding an add-on and it seemed out of place...maybe it was always there though

yeah, it holds your addon configs and stuff
According to this survey the average age of WoW players is just over 28. Dunno if that's accurate, but the monthly fee filters out most actual kids.Oh! My Car! said:

The WTF folder contains your interface settings so whenever you make a new character, copy the folder of one of your mains over the new character's folder, log in, and make sure you set an mods that have a profile option to the new one. If you use mods, that is.

This is sick! I wish you could flick back and forth between pages. But he's done an amazing job so far!
You are never too old to play video games. And to me in WoW it feels like most of the people are in their 20s. Its just like someone else said, they don't talk in General Chat.Oh! My Car! said:
edit: with this new ability for enchanters being about to put stuff on the AH, does that mean I can send a enchant to another one of my characters and finally be able to enchat them too?

Anyone play Alliance with a good guild on US Lightbringer? Frankly I'd like to play our Alli alts over there more often but my RL friends prefer our Horde guild on Cenarius and I just want some people to hang out with. None of my characters is over 20 but you know, that's not the point...

Deeper into P1 on M'uru. 75%, but more importantly this was during 2 stable add spawn waves and even a Sentinel dragging cross-room. Next sunday should be P2.
I occasionally do. Like, one guy was asking who <Ludicrous Speed> was, so I said "they're a bunch of jerks" that always brings people out of the woodwork I ain't seen in months on alts I didnt know they had. Or the time tonight when some kids regurgitated that Anal [n] thing again, I went "what? July again? Who's been screwing with the time machine?" etc. Nothing Carlin-quality, but it shuts up the brats.

that phelps china farming post is funny
so on my orc warrior, who was probably idle for about a year, since early season 2
i've bought 5 vortexes and made my stormherald, farmed honor for s2 chest and vindicator's ring, and bought s3 legs
so toon is 4/5 s2, 1/5 s3, full veterans pvp gear, 20 resil pvp trinket
what i look to do next is farm more gold and get a red belt of battle crafted as s2 gear + stormherald is low on hit rating, and i can hold off farming for s4 belt
i guess i will save and buy guardian wrists, neck, and boots next
hope to do 2 karazhans to get enough badges for a bloodlust brooch, then the guy will be g2g for competitve pvp and wotlk leveling
i had a blizzard GM restore my 70 hunter, i deleted it when i thought i was going to quit the game, the toon has terrible gear like s2 crossbow, 2/5 s1, 2/5 s0 pvp, general's bracers, and vindicator's ring, rest is greens
i'm gonna try to gear it up a bit, maybe 1 kara a week for badges, do my pvp daily, and 10 games of arena, so the class will be serviceable for wotlk, in case i choose to play it then
i'm going to focus on PVE in expansion, probably save my warrior for tanking and hunter for raid dps, hopefully the 2 spec thing is true, so you dont have to constantly respec
has that been confirmed to be true?

As confirmed as the Fireball Will Have Knockback thing which turned out not to happen.
Honestly I'd expect it to just be a pre-set spec type thing that you still have to pay to switch to. Just so you don't screw up your spec.
