Re: World of Warcraft

Ok, well then answer me this:

Even with Sunwell-level gear, were those people clearing Sunwell?

Hell no.

I did explain this to you before, but here it goes again.

I just grinded up enough Conquest to buy my chest. It took me a month of wiping and progressing on content to finally get to that point.

Now some 13 year old ****** can run Violet Hold a few times and get it.

Re: World of Warcraft

So a random dumbass can get one piece of the gear you have, and eventually 2, with dozens of runs through Heroics.

They still aren't going to have experience, skill, or the rest of the gear necessary to run the dungeon. And who's gonna take them anyway?

Also, Midsummer sucks. I was originally planning on doing it on all of my alts, but now I dread just doing it once. We got Kalimdor done. It took 3 hours with Crusader Aura. The route was perfectly planned out in advance, too (someone else's diagram BUT STILL).

Gear is my reward for doing hard things. You can't do the hard things? Then you shouldn't get the gear.

Re: World of Warcraft

But they're NOT getting the gear. They're getting two pieces from a list of more than a dozen.

Why does it concern you so much? They get the gear, then what? Their 1,300 spellpower suddenly rocks your world? No. Maybe their fail guild will actually start running raids, but who cares? They're never going to be competing with you for loot. These people who only do Heroics are not going to be doing anything anywhere near any of us, so let them have their piddly fun.

They're not going to be running around Dalaran on Rusted Proto Drakes carrying Starshard Edges. They're going to be running around in blues, greens, and two seemingly out of place tier 8.5 pieces. Nobody will invite them to raids, still.

The only apprehension anyone should feel about this is that these people are getting certain rewards that you put a little bit of effort into for a little bit less effort (and don't bull**** me, getting Conquest emblems isn't even remotely difficult).

If Blizzard said "hey we're just gonna put every piece of gear that Ulduar drops in an Emblem Vendor", then I'd be mad because it's just a foolish design choice. All they're doing is bridging the gap between new 80s and current raiders so that you can take friends along without too much of a hassle.

Cool, got all my flame warden stuff done. And Yogg is still dead =D I think I may go dance around a cleared ulduar later if I get bored.

That's so obviously BS.

Staged videos are cool I guess. There might be some kids like that somewhere though.

Nobody as angry as he was trying to be would be remotely as articulate as he was. If ever someone was "Making sure the camera got it" it was this guy.

Re: World of Warcraft

You know what I don't understand? All those videos where people get hit by cars crossing highways. Why the hell are they being filmed.

Okay squeek.

How much gear do you think you'll have from conquest before 3.2 and after it eh?

And don't pull that I DO 10 MANS CUZ I GOT FRIENDS IN A GUILD AND STUFF.

Because 10 man ulduar is only barely harder than 25 naxx, thus my point of "getting a **** ton of conquest badges isn't easy right now" remains.

Re: World of Warcraft

I do 10 mans because I can't do 25s. There just aren't enough people who are good enough to do Uld25.

With basically just going to Emalon, doing some hard-modes in 10, and doing as much of Uld25 in a pug as possible, I have enough to buy one tier piece currently.

I'm comparing this to how hard it was to get Valor, by the way. Back then, it was Naxx25, Vault25, Sarth25, EoE25. Which, for me, meant Vault and Sarth, so 6 emblems a week. Now that you can get Conquest from 10-mans in addition to pugging Flame Leviathan (even pugs can leave towers up) and Emalon each week, you can get more than a dozen a week.

I've told you before though that I have no other gear I can get from Conquest, so I'm already halfway done with Conquest gear.

Also, there's no need to insult Uld10 raiders. It's not easy. Especially not as easy as Naxx25. Maybe it's easy for a guild pulling 6k DPS per person, but then again, what isn't hard for that kind of a guild?

Getting girlfriends is probably pretty tough for them.

Ooh

Ba-zing!
