There is nothing really Mythic in Mythic 0, except that you need 20 more average item levels. Maybe in Mythic 3+ where the random affixes will fuck up 80% of the groups, things will be different. Mythic dungeons will last one tier of raiding, then I suspect you'll suck with dungeon gear...

There is a lot of setup required to make a decent amount of gold, or a lot of time spent to actually play and farm it. "A lot" is subjective, but it's not that you reach level 100 and get 100k gold in the mailbox. I have friends that earn quite a lot of money and play quite rarely compared to...

I hate making gold, I have zero use for it except to buy me an enchant or a piece of shit crafted stuff that I can't be arsed to self produce. Nonetheless I made about half a million gold without even trying. You sneeze and it comes out as 3k gold, you do a couple raids for transmog and ops you...

Some stuff is popular because of colors or semi-unique tints, some for the models (e.g. Nocturnal hat from vanilla greenies), some is crafted and can sell for quite a price (Stylish Jungle Hat, about 10k gold or so, can go double that amount). You basically need to play most classes and follow...

Not that I entirely disagree with what you wrote, but let's put things in perspective here: memorable deeds in EQ were never good for those players on the receiving end of the asshattery, be it training, killstealing, etc. Same is true for those who levelled, say a rogue or a warrior in a...

I don't commit anymore to a guild, I found a casual one and after a month or two I was considering gouging my own eyes out to stop seeing such bad gameplay. So I just said "fuck it" and now I play alone, do a torist run in LFR and then once I have done everything I want to do, I change the...

Then I have to admit I'm extremely lucky. If the trend continues, I'll be grateful

It's a system that works if the group is made of mostly friends, nobody goes linkdead, nobody bails because RL reasons and all of them have the time to do the run and to actually complete the dungeon. As you know it can take well over 1 hour, if not two. I love it, but it can lead to frustrating...

You get approximately 11-12 tomes per clear, it takes 3 weeks, always 3 weeks. I'm on my 4th ring now, which will take me 2 more weeks and for the 5th in the works, I'm on the BRF tablets part, but the will to finish it is rapidly approaching zero. You can upgrade the ring with valor points, but...

I like all (decent) MMOs for a while, then only the good ones stick around. My favourite? WoW for sure, even if EQ has a special place in my memories, when I look at myself playing it so many years ago, my first thought is "How could I put up with that shit?". I like following plots and...

WoD killed everything, pretty much fucked up the playerbase. The only saving grace was maybe for raiders, but most weren't very happy unless top notch hardcore, because class trinkets weren't liked much, most builds non viable for dps, healers band-aided with T18, etc. The raids were ok (except...

This will be available until the end of the war effort (AQ opening event) or so was the initial plan. According to estimations, it will be live one more week or a little bit longer. Most of the people are nice, few idiots and most of them are ex-Nost or Kronos refugees, this bunch was the worst...

I know nothing about Kronos, but Rebirth is coded very well and there are a lot of people playing. It fills my nostalgia-fueled gaming requirements fairly well.

I have an idea about this. The premise is that the Blizzard idea of class fantasy is fucked up by a nostalgia bigger than any player may feel. There must be someone in their dev team that dusted off these old concepts that were (rightfully so) buried under the label "mistakes" and forced them to...

...and I fear that after the novelty wears off, these people won't bother playing the xpack or if they do, it'll be a one month trip to watch the content. In terms of gameplay, I've never witnessed before such an abysmal reception of the class changes, considering that a lot of the alpha was...

So you are both basically saying that nothing matters outside of raids, you get mythic gear in Tx, you're good to go until Normal Tx+1, up to and including the 10 levels, the dungeon progression and the little bits of stuff you have to generally get such as enchants and gems for blue gear. Is...

Hellground is alive since a few years apparently, I was going to try that soon.

Of course you are correct, it was a reset for the vast majority of people. If we for a brief moment fly with the fantasy, imagine TBC released 2 months after vanilla Naxxramas, it'd have been called progression instead of reset maybe Anyway I understand the feeling, but after all, do you...

Well, EQ gear was largely irrelevant until and including Velious, casters were capped at 200 of their primary stat, armor class was soft capped and the only thing that made a difference were hit points and epic weapons, which thankfully remained relevant for a long time, considering how painful...

Not in beta and I don't care, never been one to enjoy spoilers before the actual release. That's not my concern although. I'll say it bluntly, but this class revamp is overall negative, with a few exceptions, such as shadow priest which seems to have become really fun and hectic to play: at high...

Anything prior to Pandaria drops dead in a few seconds, due to the stupid damage boost. If you wear, say the Kazzak Leech trinket, you get back in hp 7% of your damage and when your average nuke lands for half a million or more, it's easy to do the math. Pandaria is another story, those are the...

In EU the token was 62k gold last I checked, so I never even thought of buying one, I earn 13? much much faster than I can grind 62k gold in a way that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out (e.g.: garrisons). I'm sitting on 400k gold on alliance side and about 180k on horde side which I...

As long as I can farm gold by killing shit, I don't care. Another garrison and I'll quit very very fast.

I have no ill thoughts about Brad or Curt, except that I dislike the way they behaved with the people that worked for them and for throwing money away in a black hole, due to stubborness and ignorancy or due to addictions and other several issues. I don't think the genre is dying, I think that...

Apparently there will be catchup mechanics for secondary and tertiary specs, but I didn't hear anything about alts. About the garrisons: I think they were cancer for the game, beside inflating gold to pointless levels (honestly, gold is useless), it offered nothing interesting, just a fucking...

Except when Purifying becomes mandatory, else the stagger dot kills the monk, in which case the lack of ISB could be deadly. Either way I still don't like GotOx (never did to be honest), but I can see why having a controlled heal is better than having a random one.

I'm starting to wonder if the devs themselves are the bad players...

Then ISB is Shuffle, but done wrong, shuffle just happened, sure you had to keep an eye on it, but you were in control and not limited by charges and cooldowns, only Chi management. Without ISB BrM is shit, which makes it a problem for all monks. Also I believe that unless tank swapping is quite...

If you don't purify, you are going to die horribly, so 100% uptime on ISB is unlikely to happen. Anyway new brm isn't really fun, which is the main problem.

Celestalon wrote to explain to all alpha brewmasters that they are not good, while he is, that Brewmaster (currently exploding when looked at sideways by mobs on alpha) is overpowered and players just don't get it and a bunch of extra nonsense. The average monk reply sees to be "fuck you, I'll...

I thought about it, a pristine server is nothing of the sorts, it's not vanilla at all. Original WoW was more a world and less a game (let alone this lobby game of today). Gameplay wise it was a nightmare in comparison, just think about the 8 slots limit for boss debuffs which by itself killed...

You should just pick dps stats, tanks now utilize those for defense. As been said, get a lot of sockets, get Shadowmourne if you are a DK or hope you have the heirloom 1hander that dropped off Garrosh (Hellscream Doomblade iirc, it has 2 sockets) and also the heirloom shield (another 2 sockets)...

I have no idea, I play sometimes on another vanilla server and they were talking about it in global chat. they have a website and a forum and I glanced over there to see what was going on. At the moment there is a huge faction disparity, apparently something like 20 to 1 in favour of the horde...

Starting to fail? There is no data supporting this claim. The fact that WoD was a gigantic pile of stinking dung has nothing to do with the MMO space starting to fail, maybe just with people that don't want to pay monthly for a crap expansion pack, let alone 14 months for the same crap...

They claim to be overloaded with people, which was the cause for several troubles on the release day. Apparently it's a thing and they are working on making it better. I'm more of a vanilla guy to be honest, even if TBC had its moments (and better paladins).

I loved GW2, but for some reason HoT wasn't very appealing, so I never bought it. Weird. Maybe I'll pick it up for the summer.

They are wasting a truckload of time for features nobody asked for, like those levelling area scaling, coupled with retarded and useless class redesign with skill pruning galore, that certainly nobody asked. If these motherfuckers are going to launch with a shitty raid ala Highmaul without even...

If WoD is of any indication, make that 0,5% of my character's life. I usually complete all quests on one character for each faction, sometimes a second if some zones are very good, then try to do as few as possible on alts. Quest mobs, especially if questing with a tank, are less than bumps in...

Now, now. Dead is a big word: even with just their blind loving following audience, they dwarf every other MMO out there. Even if it goes down to 2 millions, it's still an astounding amount of money. What's sad and terrifying at the same time, is that they think they are doing a good job and...

I managed to go through with my monk and I was pretty much alone for the whole first evening of SMV questing.
