Sorry about that. <br /><br />getting the farm is so easy and nice. No money is involved as Blizzard originally stated it was going to be. But however, when I planted for my customers tonight on 1 farm - 4 tangling weeds, 3 wigglies, 2 hawks, 4 parched plants, 2 of those plants that just grab ya by the butt. That makes all 16 I had to do something with. :/ Not too good.<br /><br />When you first see these pests, you get loot and a 1 kill, but not for Dark Moon. Now at 90, you have to kill, but no loot off them. Hmmmm, Hmmmm, ok. <br /><br />The new 1-85 heirloom armor and weapons made it. It costs the same as regualr armor plus you need to trade in the armor or weapon you are upgrading to the next lvl 1-85. It could have been worse, it could have been valor that is needed. Yeah, something to use darkmoon fair tickets for again! <br /><br />Thunder Island was a blast. wicked it is. Well, something tells me there will be a blof post about it more in depth :D You go GE!-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-31074914317562411892013-03-05T15:28:33.808-05:002013-03-05T15:28:33.808-05:00I am happiest sometimes when I am complaining howe...I am happiest sometimes when I am complaining however. So how does that work? lol<br /><br />I know what you mean however. To an outsider that does not know me I can see how they might think I actually dislike the game by how I complain, but I don't. Sometimes a positive post is needed to remind people that it is not all bad. Just some things here and there.<br /><br />Not being the boss is going to take some adjusting too I am sure but I could imagine how nice that could be after you have done it a long time. Good luck, with the new patch you are going to need it. Everyone wants to rush it even if they are not ready for it. You can down the first boss with everyone around 490-495 but for the second or third, unless you are perfect, you want everyone at least 495-500. 4th, wait and gear some. Just my opinion.<br /><br />I think making the game broader, and continuing with it instead of a one time thing, is the redefining I was talking about. I love they are taking that direction now. It shows a lot of promise.<br /><br />I say the dip had to do with the alt factor and the instant gear up factor not being there like normal with valor. The gating of gear was perhaps the worst idea. Gate content, not gear.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-14574372533744538162013-03-05T14:05:54.090-05:002013-03-05T14:05:54.090-05:00Wow I liked this post. I know your name is The Gru...Wow I liked this post. I know your name is The Grumpy Elf, and that you say that by complaining you're showing you care, but I have to say it's really nice to read a post that sounds positive. I'm not saying that when you're raising issues about the game you are wrong, most of the time I agree with you, but positive always sounds happier, and I'd like to think of you having fun if that makes sense. I like people to be happy. Your posts are always worth reading though :)<br /><br />Anyway, I like this expansion a lot. I agree with you when you say they could have held the patch for a bit longer, but on the other hand a new raid could be just the ticket. I've merged guilds with another guild and we now have more than enough people to field a roster, which brings it's own problems, nothing is ever simple, but at least we can raid now. The problem with the patch dropping right now is the merge has only just happened and so we're not stable as a team. Some people aren't ready for the new raid, but want to jump in as it's shiny and new, which could lead to problems if they are left out. Thankfully I'm no longer the boss so it's no longer my problem.<br /><br />Anyway, I love how they are adding new stuff for pet battles, rares and the farm too. I mean new raids/scenarios/dungeons etc. are all very well but that's just one kind of content, and new or not if you are fed up with slaying dragons then it's going to get old very quickly. By broadening what they offer, and keeping this other content as updated, or with new stuff like we get new raids etc. I firmly believe it will be healthier for the game. I know that there has been a subscriber dip, maybe that's because of the grinding nature of things now, or that Mists is quite unfriendly to alts if you were used to having many chars raid ready. However, I don't think the dip was because the game is getting worse, I think it's getting better. Now if only they could sort the community out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771213542953346538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-90918229227159149382013-03-05T12:35:06.897-05:002013-03-05T12:35:06.897-05:00That is just bad luck. I have had days where I ha...That is just bad luck. I have had days where I had what felt like a dozen and others where I only had one. I believe the spawn of them is supposed to be lowered now as well. They probably do not count for darkmoon kills because they have no loot table. That would be my guess.<br /><br />I read yours from time to time when I do my rounds. I always have things I am thinking about. I could probably do three posts a day if I felt like it. Doesn't really need to be about anything even. I just love to write.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-8096493694838926392013-03-05T11:07:59.093-05:002013-03-05T11:07:59.093-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.com
