    The barracks patrol missions definitely don't take up existing spots, (you still get the 90 mission with the frog even if all your followers are 100) so I doubt the treasure hunter ones do.

    I dunno, I think being able to roll racial bonus traits of which there are no guaranteed followers of that race is worse. Other than a RNG inn follower from people that actually have the inn, that trait will truly never do anything.

    Warlocks get raids based on summoning portal alone. Without one you have to wait 20 minutes for every single replacement to fly from their garrison, or run two people all the way out from like twin ogron. (which also takes 10 minutes, and if you didn't clear trash is impossible.) Sometimes...

    If you just want the loot you can just troll the "other" category in group finder. Search for "garrison" or "invasion" and join someone else's. Note: Avoid iron horde invasions as getting gold on it is virtually impossible.

    This is not always the case. For tanks, the BiS neckpiece is a random rolled 645 epic from follower missions that rolled double bonus armor for secondaries. BA is just that good. The 660 PvP neck is next-best for several tanks, namely the ones for whom crit is low value as it actually has more...

    The 630 trinkets aren't actually undervalued if you take the average value of the use ability and then compare the stats to other 630 trinkets. Also, the people who said ditch the barn are nuts. This building generates 6k gold per day. 132 beast hide @ 15 gold each and two bloods at 2k each.

    Personal loot sucks when there's only one or two items you need from all heroics. With personal, first the boss has to drop loot at all and then you have to get the piece you want. With group loot you get to skip the first roll and then probably get defaulted the item if it does drop because...

    I'm pretty sure having the right counters for a raid mission with epic drops is worth losing two or three war paints or whatever.

    They left a lot of the mechanics intact in LFR, meaning it's gonna be one giant clusterfuck. I don't see many LFR groups making it past Butcher since the dot still instakills at 5 stacks, even in LFR.

    The 645 missions always award raid loot one tier higher than you've actually completed yourself, or tons of gold if you've completed Mythic. So the missions will always be useful, but yeah eventually everyone will have 25 645 epic followers and at that point I don't know what people are going to...

    The secret to avoiding undercutting is to not resort to it yourself. If the lowest price is 2996 gold, don't put your item up for 2995g99s99c. Put your item up for 2499g. They'll be far less inclined to undercut you, and even if some people do there's a pretty good chance it'll all sell through...

    Actually, the game has a huge amount of gold coming in, it's just distributed. The stupid big salvage crates are probably like 40 gold per box just vendoring the greys and greens that come out of them, and you get one of those for every other mission you complete. Every heroic instance completed...

    An important thing to remember about traits: ALL the 645 ilvl missions are either Breaker, Ogre, Plains, or Swamp. In addition, every 630 mission that awards epic loot except for bracers is either one of these or Orc. That means those five traits are at a huge premium and those followers should...

    The Iron Horde invasion is bugged and does not spawn enough mobs to get to gold. Try any other invasion and you'll see its much easier.

    I'm also swimming in GR with Barn/Inn now, the trick is having multiple followers with Scavenger. Once you've got a good crop of epic followers with double counters you've got a good shot at being able to stick both scavenger followers and an epic follower in the ~120 GR 3-follower mission and...

    This is absolutely not the case. I don't know about other tanks, but Haste is absolutely worthless for Monk tanks to the point where you should pretend it's not even on the gear and an item with haste is probably worse than an item without it that's two raid tiers lower.

    Note that the Iron Horde invasion is extremely overtuned and getting gold on it is virtually impossible, as it just doesn't spawn anywhere near enough mobs. The other invasions are much easier.

    Just imagine for a second how Mythic progression raiders feel right about now. They have to do all of those things that you listed, plus also spend hundreds of thousands of gold on enchants for blue gear that they will replace in two weeks.

    Not unless WoW automatically saves your chat log somewhere that I don't know about.

    It costs 100 BoP crafting mats to make one, so the price isn't gonna drop. If you want an inscriptor to make one over making 10 cards to sell for 5k each, you're gonna have to pony up.

    It's still the best profession for tanks as there's only one bonus armor trinket per raid, and you could be running that for months before you get one. Also the fact that it's a "low slot mod" is irrelevant for tanks since bonus armor is by far your best stat and this stat only shows up on items...

    Enchanters are making an absolute killing right now. You can get a full set of 640 epics from challenge modes, as the daily quest reward always has a 640 epic in it. If you want to get into a decent CM group, they're going to expect you to have full enchants. I just checked my AH and the...

    Ok, MC LFR is impossible until they hotfix this shit out. Lava Spawns still have their old anti-AoE mechanic and in a 40 man PUG there's ALWAYS one idiot that never stops with the AoE, making them impossible to kill.

    Savage blood is a terrible waste of primals. I'm turning over Darkmoon cards (10 war paints) at 7k apiece and getting 15k for aces, people have not gotten the message that they are the same chance as the other cards.

    The total lack of class balance destroyed all the fun of early BC. I still remember TBC heroic mobs being arbitrarily immune to all forms of CC except sheep and sap, and sap still had a 10% chance to fail and unstealth you. Shattered Halls with two mages was just infinitely easier than SH...

    My problem is low level followers and not enough missions to send them on. You don't get XP from a mission more than 3 levels above the follower so you have to wait ages for low level shit to show up to get them some XP. It's frustrating because I rolled three epic followers with absolutely...

    Do followers with a tradeskill perk gain XP from working at a trade skill building or do you have to take them out of the building and have them do missions (and thus lose out on bonus work order production) in order to level them up?

    Grinding BGs seems to be the best way to get even PvE gear to be honest. The Primal Gladiator stuff is ilvl660 in PvE and the weekly cap on conquest is like 1700.

    While it's technically possible to come up with 350 truesteel ingots or the equivalent for a 665 epic by the time raiding is turned on, you're looking at maybe 0.00001% of the playerbase getting there. These server issues will make it even rarer. Note that this requires that you buy the BoE blue...
