I have full 30slot and it's only useful when farming aged content without a gap in the instance to mount and sell shit.
I have full 30 slots, and 3 1/2 of them are perma-full. Between various clickys, archeology tokens, 8 different fishes, 4 (or 5?) different meats, 7 herbs, a set of gear for my alt spec, etc, etc... the only spot for looting stuff is my backpack and 1st bag...

Carrying extra azerite armor that's better for certain situations is already getting old. Why do I have 6 chest pieces?

I appreciate the variety of choice but just bring back the old talent system instead to be honest

I got a bunch of 30 slot bags for 2k each when I started up again because I kept running out of room, but I'm a hoarder in this game so there is that.

After several Mythic runs of seeing fuck-all I actually got two upgrades and a BoE with a socket in Tol Dagor this AM. Rocking 345 ilevel which is pretty damn good for a filthy casual hah.

I've gotten upgrades for mostly the same slots from every Mythic I've run. Still 338 here. At least I finally got a weapon, but it's too bad it didn't tf to 355, so I'll have to keep grinding that. Ah, the old wf/tf tryhard game is alive and kicking.

Even if the Method's and Exorsus' of the world started streaming their Mythic raids in real time with strat commentary it would be almost completely meaningless for everyone not in a top 20 worldwide guild. This isn't EQ. Just having the strat isn't good enough to get a kill. You need a guild full of people who can actually pull it off.

So you're saying it's just like EQ then. Except you don't have to manage 71+ other geared and capable people day in and day out, and can get by with just 19+ other geared and capable people. Makes sense.

In everquests case capable means, "consistently online and can follow simplistic instructions like not attacking during enrage or pressing CH at the right point in the rotation."

Rather than the relative perfection that mythic requires.

It also meant being available 24/7 because fuck you if you want to raid on a regular schedule. And insane amounts of xp farming because xp loss was real. Then after SoL they started adding lots of mechanics like WOW's. When I was playing again briefly 2-3 years ago raiding was almost exactly like WOW.

72 player raids? Why the fuck would anyone play a game that has 72 player raids? 20 is bad enough. So happy that M+ drops are only 10 ilvls lower than Mythic raid drops and the weekly can drop 385 azerite armor. I might be able to just say "forget raiding" this entire expansion and only join my guilds runs for achievements after they are on farm.

After 4ish years of access to not-hard-to-make 30 slot bags, how is there still a large demand for these? I've probably made about 80k just from Deep Sea Bag sales and I'm not really cranking them out, either.

People cranking out alts new allied races help fuel this and after wod a lot of people gave up on trade skilling

For the hexweave bags you needed to use your garrison to make them. Most people hated the garrison. Also, on my server at least, both the hexweave bags and the imbued silkweave bags were a net loss when compared to selling the raw materials directly. Same goes for Deep Sea Bags currently. Funny thing is the 32 slot bags are going to be so easy to make by the end of the expansion with a huge flood of hydrocores and expulsom from M+ that I will probably have them on all my characters just from the extra crap I get on my current main (which is a tailor).

I would prefer the 24/7 mechanic over what exists now. I have never found a guild that runs primary raids during the 8 AM-1 PM Eastern Standard Time slot. My work schedule prevents me from raiding at the primary times save for my off days. It sucks because I find it hard to believe that I am that rare of a player in the Unites States. So I miss the days when 24/7 actually did matter and the off time players were valuable for guilds to have for progression.

I work graves too. Since January. That's why I stopped raiding with Al and the guys on Hyjal. Definitely a lack of organization among us around the country. Let me know if you ever find someone that raids mornings.

Maybe try an Oceanic guild if you can stomach the ping times. My buddy did it and was able to suffer through the delay. Don't think its as bad as some people make it out to be if you have a decent ISP and setup. Maybe a VPN would also help.

In WOTLK I needed to raid EST mornings so I transferred to an oceanic realm and raiding the entire expansion as the main tank for a Singaporean guild. It was nothing but broken english and kind of a weird experience but I had a lot of fun. Those guys thought the name Noodleface was hilarious too.

I used a VPN tunnel or whatever it's called and had good results. Back then I had 200-250 Ms which isn't life shattering, but I definitely felt it.

I think we raided 10 or 11AM EST for a few hours.
