W...I hate that they removed cash flow from guilds. We have had a few to sell, even put some aside for selling. Helps we have few plate wearers, so the plate drops usually get sold. But we gear our people first.<br /><br />When I was 5 manning it I did not need anything for myself. I have 680s or better in the neck, feet and wrist department, I was doing it for my guild mates that might need it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-48623685990399256922015-02-10T10:39:21.927-05:002015-02-10T10:39:21.927-05:00Is there any "good" stuff coming in 6.1 ...Is there any "good" stuff coming in 6.1 yet? I have not noticed anything. It all seems like stuff that should have been part of the initial release that they held back to say they are releasing something later.<br /><br />Blood DKs are fun to level yes, mostly any tank is fun to level. I enjoy playing tanks while leveling, melee, not so much.<br /><br />Yeah, paying week one prices is really insane, even more so if you do not intend on raiding, you can wait until they drop a little.<br /><br />Firelands trash was fun.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-79715276355597156262015-02-10T10:25:16.366-05:002015-02-10T10:25:16.366-05:00I still do not like my addons feeling more like sp...I still do not like my addons feeling more like spyware than addons, and sure as hell do not like it adding people to my real id without my permission or without me even noticing it.<br /><br />It is a hacking addon, nothing more, I will not use it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-14614313897194033422015-02-10T10:02:44.897-05:002015-02-10T10:02:44.897-05:00I wish I could get some BoEs to sell for the guild...I wish I could get some BoEs to sell for the guild bank. They're all being snapped up by raiders so far. Guild bank doesn't replenish itself you know...<br /><br />And I'd need more people like that silly hunter in your guild so my guild's coffers would be full. I bet the person who sold it is laughing now.

Got Blood DK to 93 and SPriest to 92.<br /><br />- Leveling with the SPriest is rather annoying for me. I'm not accustomed to multi-dotting or to channeled abilities. Died a couple times while lvling her because I'd just get overwhelmed by several mobs and couldn't do anything...<br /><br />- Blood DK is actually kind of fun to level (as fun as melee can be anyway)<br /><br />- Don't know that I'll do much more with them for a while, just wanted to start their prof/work orders to create upgrade items for gun (DK=Eng) and trinket (Priest=Scribe) for hunter.<br /><br />- Trying to avoid capping garrison resources on hunter. Waiting for Blizz to figure out what they're doing with 6.1 Garrisons before I change out some buildings. Candidates for demolition are Inn, Stables, Barn, Salvage Yard...<br /><br />- I've bought several BoEs in WoD (after the prices dropped down to an acceptable level). I want to gear up but I'm not raiding so I need to get gear some other way (and there aren't many options for decent gear). I can actually afford to buy them Week 1, but I won't pay those crazy prices.<br /><br />- Ah, Firelands trash runs. I remember those.

They would rather have half functional feature missing parts of the game.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-71258587936374358752015-02-09T13:23:39.039-05:002015-02-09T13:23:39.039-05:00re: group finder.

Blizzard didn't adopt those features.<br /><br />For the premade finder, they should tell you which group you are being invited to. If I waitlist several totally different groups, e.g. trash farm + higmaul + brf, it should tell me when I get the invite so I don't have to accept and then ask "what's this group for?" like an idiot.<br /><br />Blizzard could do some really awesome stuff with the group finder (or LFD) if they wanted to. <br /><br />They could make it so group finder allowed you to check a box to auto-group for people who have your same lockout with similar ilvl.<br /><br />They could automatically find groups of people based on experience downing bosses and mix a group together to try to optimize success. They could aggregate data from past successful LFR/LFD runs to see whether the "leader" checkbox made a difference, and prioritize those people for good groups.<br /><br />They could make a challenge mode LFD for good players.<br /><br />So many possibilities.<br />--<br />Regards,<br /><br />regardsanonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
