believe me i feel your pain i rele do its just like the fact that i play alliance and blizz favors horde by far and its so obvious its unreal

...Blizzard favours Horde? ...Go log onto any horde-side of any server and they will all insist the exact same thing about the Alliance. Just how both sides claim the other side always wins at battlegrounds, and that the other side is full of noobs and all kinds of other contradictory things.

Besides, clearly Paladins are the favourite class of Blizzard and always have been.

[Solid Dreams]

Hahaha, are you seriously trying to say that because people can get two pieces of t8.5 that it renders everything moot?

You can't get everything that you need from the emblem vendors. I repeat, you cannot get everything you need from the emblem vendors.

Even though you can get all of t9 from it, that's still 100 days if you don't get anything else, assuming these are people who cant do 10/25/ 10h/25h. Just because they're making it so that you don't have to constantly run people through naxx10/25/EoE/OS/etc to get them geared up to do the new stuff, doesn't mean that they broke it for you. You're still going to have the best gear if you're still keeping up with the raiding.

Wow, I swear we covered this already.

Go look at the emblem of Conquest vendor and tell me what you can buy. Go on!

The only argument you have is that you can buy all of tier 9 without setting foot in the new raid... if you grind the daily Heroic for five months straight.

i found this to be kinda funny so i figured since you all play wow you would too.

WoW... i'm thinking about getting it again, but my better judgment tells me not to...

... i think i'd rather save my time for studying and RTS games, but WoW is an unbeatable way to waste time... guess I'll see if I get bored enough to resort to this or not. XD

There was quite a while when in most battlegroups, horde dominated the hell out of battlegrounds. I thought I just felt like it was biased against me, but then when I rerolled horde with some friends I loved the fact that we'd win 9/10 games.

Edit: Although the idea that Blizzard favors one faction or the other is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

I originally planned to ignore updating my addons because they are more of a convenience thing rather than a necessity, but the constant error messages telling me that something is going wrong makes me want to spend a day fixing them.

so what is everyone's thoughts on onyxia being brought back for the 5th year anniversary. I just hope im lucky enough to have the mount drop and actually win the roll for it.

[Grandiagod]

I wish they would make it a 40 man and keep the same mechanics, but just make her hit for a bunch more =(

Woot, we got the two new raid bosses down finally. All the time it took was just to get a day where we could have 10 people signed on at once.

Northrend Beasts took 3 shots, since we had problems with the worm debuffs. Icehowl and Gormok were both one-shots. Jaraxxus was also a one-shot. DBM was extremely vocal during that and made most of us go deaf with all the noise.

Now the raid.

1) IT'S WAY TOO DAMN HARD.

..I see.

[Grandiagod]

Am I the only one dreading people making more dots jokes during ony raids? Someone help me think of something witty to say back to them so I don't rage.

Whatever the **** you do, don't stand next to anybody else?

Yeah sorry about my previous post about the new raid. I was under the impression that the people we were running with that night were geared and decent players. They weren't. I ran some stuff with them later and boy did they suck. Even in Heroics, they couldn't keep up.

We have since removed one of them from the guild for being a greedy ass and the other we just kind've ignore until she can get better, but we don't think she will. How do you manage to pull 1,000 DPS on Hodir as a Moonkin in purps? She's even worse as a healer, which is why we told her to switch to her offspec in the first place. Sigh...

The tanks from that night are both offtanks. One of them has changed his offspec since as he no longer wants to tank ever again, and the other is primarily a DPSer.

Our Raid/Guild leader finally buckled down and got stricter on who we take to raids, even if it means we can't raid. We know what'll happen if we take those kinds of people anyway.

Looking forward to the new boss next unlock. It'll put me at 25 Triumph emblems so I can buy my new relic, and they drop my dagger~

Druid alt finally hit 80. Did 68-72 in Borean, 72-75 in Fjord, 75-77 in Dragonblight (skipping almost every quest--just did what was necessary for Wrathgate and a few extra), then 77-80 in Sholazar. My gear sucks royally since I skipped everything. With no enchants, no professions, no gems, no real major blue items to speak of, I did 2k DPS on a training dummy just practicing the rotation for feral dps.

The only concern I have now is which character to play. I suppose I'll grind heroics on the druid since our guild no longer raids every night and the shaman won't be used much. I was just grinding out battlegrounds on him anyway, so it might be fun to go through everything all over again.

Oh also my druid did AV so much in leveling to 80 that her mailbox was overflowing with AV marks. The EXP really is that good.

[Grandiagod]

I just remembered I have like, $100 credit at Gamestop. I guess I'll buy another card.

[Grandiagod]

Good thing I didn't remember I used all that credit up a few months ago until I got to Gamestop.

Horde Champions, VERY irritating.

Our set of six was

Disc priest
Resto shaman
Rogue
Ret Pally
Warlock
Boomkin

Which was also our kill order. We had to like, spam CC on the pull, traps, roots, fear the minion, throw stuns, pop heroism and everything we had to burn the first healer down ASAP, and then it became "How many people are alive when the second healer dies" Once it was "everybody" we finished everyone in order fairly easily after that, but even being down 1 or 2 bodies once both healers were out, it was still pretty tough.

That's what we get for being on a PvE server, where everyone's PvP skills are much less honed than they could be.
