That shirt is an exception to the rule. Once it's looted to someone, they are stuck with it.Iadien said:

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Once it drops, I don't think you can do anything about that shirt. It just goes to whoever's "turn" it was when it drops and can't be altered beyond that.Fularu said:
Not probably, definitely. They said it in one of the myriad interviews after the press event. I'm looking forward to it because I think we all know there's going to be at least 2 if not 3 legendaries this expansion. I'm just not sure if they will bring back Sulfuras as a legendary or just make some new Sulfuras-inspired epic, but I think it's a given we'll have a 1h melee legendary (maybe a dual wield pair for DKs/shamans/rogues) and a caster legendary.FLEABttn said:

I'd say WoW is a lot worse, if only because WoW players feel entitled to be as whiny, loud and obnoxious as possible because they pay $15 a month. DotA players are pretty shitty too, don't get me wrong... it's just that WoW is pretty much a glorified chatroom any time you're not in a dungeon or raid, which is probably 50-75% of the time...
I've said it before and I'll say it again;
The best reason to play an MMO is the people.
The best reason NOT to play an MMO is the people.

I've never had any real problems, WoW does not have a good community but I've never put myself in a position to get burned, either. Easy to avoid for me because I don't care about the people, I am a nice person but I will not tolorate drama except from a safe distance. Me and the real life friend I always duo with always keep to ourselves. Chat with the guild, tag along with the guild, but never really put any attachments down.
Personally, I would never pug a raid myself. I would not play if that's what it came to for me. Not to say you can't have a good one, but the bullshit you will inevitably run into would just kill my mood to play. Greater fixation on 10 man guilds will fix a lot of problems with this. My 10 man guild in early WOTLK was amazing, until everyone wanted better loot.
Ultimately though, I don't really think that WoW players are probably much worse at large than most standard game communities nowadays, unless you're talking about very specific ones. Not a compliment, just trying to say for the most part, if it's a popular game, you're going to run across pretty consistent ass hats. I'm a big fan of Left 4 Dead 2, and even on Steam, the community there was just ungodly awful.
Hell, even Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii was awful! The community in that game was worse than anything I ever encountered on WoW in person. People would sincerely try to jump in your room (they reduced room sizes from 10 to 4 in the English version to add in that shitty Wii Speak support) and try to grief by holding slots hostage, this was insanely common, along with a great many other things.
The internet is pretty much just full of jerks nowadays. I want to say that we didn't have these affairs back when I played UO, but I think I spent half my time laying poisoned food by newbie areas and trying to rob people. That was really griefers paradise, everyone griefed everyone, but at least no dudes were crying about a badly textured pink shirt I suppose.

I was kidding, it's just one of those items that people get really emo over. Most of the pugs I've been in lately people ask for the loot threshold to be dropped before fighting Precious, so that should give you an idea of how sought after it is in spite of being a badly textured pink shirt :lol

Okay, so, I reactivated my WoW and tried to log in. Didn't work, figured I was remembering the wrong password. So I changed the password to the one I thought it was in the first place, got in.
I don't play for three days and find out my account's password has been changed again. I fix it and try to log in to find that my account is suspended for 72 hours.
At this point I realize I'm getting hacked and change my password.
A few days ago I got an email saying this.
Am I fucked?
I tried emailing them, but lately I seem to be getting a lot of shit from people trying to pretend to be Blizzard, so I really don't know what emails are real or not.
What do I do? Is there any place I can contact or something?

Here's a list that I copied from Blizzard's CS forum.
Blizzard said:
Just call that phone number and get someone on hold to help you out. You'll have to wait through a long wait time. If you can't get into the queue then redial and try again until you do. In the mean time run virus scans, change your password and e-mail address to something temporary on your account. Also think about buying an authenticator if you don't have one. I know it's optional but it saved my ass from being hacked again.

Updated Maelstrom model from today's patch. Now it's more apparent that it's the entrance to Deepholm.

My story, kinda related:Eteric Rice said:
Same thing happened to me. It was in 06, I just got my own account(was renting one at net cafe before) and was playing 24/7, spent whole summer leveling, took me like 5 months to get to 60 and one morning I found out I was hacked. After few weeks they finally got my account working, I had no gear and 700 gold suddenly(used to be a lot). They sent me some of my gear AND I HAD TO PAY FOR IT LOL, was COD. Lost bank stuff, other items etc. Scanned my pc and found nothing, seems like it was picked up at net cafe I used to play at(same one where I was renting for long time). Then fast forward like a month, few days after my birthday bam ban. Account closed for 3rd party programs.
Never have I came close to using or having 1 on my PC.
After month+ of mails back and forth, explaining I didn't have anything to do with that and it was probably the hacker they would just say "Sorry, final decision".
Bought new account month later and had no problems for 4 years :/
But hell, lot of years passed, new people came probably and some things changed. I really hope it works out for you, explain them that you didn't play it, check IPs etc.
My account was hacked recently, but not to this extent, but someone told me a tip on here that really helped.Eteric Rice said:
When you call the Blizzard support line, you have an option to select automatic help options or speak to a representative. If you choose to speak to someone you'll be waiting an hour at least. Choose some automatic option that is close to what you need, and go through all the questions it asks you. At the end it will ask if this resolved your issue, if you say no you will be put to the front of the queue for customer support help, and get someone to talk to in 5-10 minutes instead of an hour.
Also, be prepared when you call to not even be able to get any options and you'll have to call back until you're able to. It took me about a day of calling to be able to talk to someone. You could also start by emailing the support to explain the issue ahead of time. Just explain everything.

Bummer. I was half hoping Worgen would sound like hillbillies, since they've been hiding behind that wall and breeding with each other all these years.

True, but British people aren't as funny to me as Worgen pickin banjos, spitting tobacco, and missing teeth.

There needs to be a CHICKEN CHASA line for the Worgen somewhere if they're going to make them all sound like Fable characters.
So, out of trying desperately to find something else to do in the game to keep me interested, I decided to start leveling a priest. Wow, was I wrong. Smite, smite, smite, smite, smite. Sometimes to liven it up, I'll just shield, hit "shoot", do some push ups, shield, "shoot", sit ups...

Getting Precious' Ribbon has been by far my favorite item in all of ICC25 and I have a bunch off heroic 25 gear. I wish there was more fun cosmetic stuff like that =/
J-Rzez said:
Priest leveling is garbage until shadow. I'm working on a dwarf hunter on Area 52 since my guild isn't really raiding these days due to cataclysm and it's awesome, despite the fact I hear the server is god fucking awful for alliance :/
Hopefully, they can speed up the Northrend lvling, i find that 1-70 is just the perfect speed, but once i reach 70, i'm all "Man, can i hit 71 already? D:"
I know, i know, it's still much faster than the classic korean MMOs, but whatever..., this is why i'm not playing them anymore. :lol
firex said:
This, I dont even understand what he is trying to say. Switching continents? So what? How many times did you switch continents in BC? or in Northrend?
And ganking lowbies in contested zones? Cmon son, dont act like world PvP (if you can call ganking lowbies in the Wetlands on their way to Ironforge PvP) didnt die 3 years ago.
I felt like I want to do content leveling up even now but can't fit it in as level appropriate. I wouldn't mind seeing a more even leveling experience, with faster levels later on and slower levels up front. Nothing to a major extent, but if you never even have to switch continents you're talking about not seeing half of the leveling content.
I know, it's almost like they're making an expansion with new races and new classes for old races so you'd have a reason to play through it more than once.Dance In My Blood said:
This is going to be like the exact opposite of leveling up my paladin when TBC came out, and most other people leveling up their blood elf/draenei characters.
I mean I get what you're saying, but if I want to experience every zone leveling up I'm going to have to level multiple times. That isn't really a good thing. The leveling could go just as fast and push you through every zone if they wanted.firex said:
Or you can go back and do it at 60, or 80, or 85 or whatever if you just want to experience the quests for fun.
I'd much rather have "too much" leveling 1-60 than not enough, and I'd much rather have it designed the way they're going for it than the other way. But then again I am an altaholic, so I can just pass heirlooms on to a different class and experience one continent instead of the other.
