It gives the current raid seal on Alliance too. You can get all 3 using Apexis by doing one day of the Order of the Awakened + daily objective though (3500 total per week), so I would say the war mill for the free seal isn't worth it. Personally I find the interacting with things while mounted and crit rune are awesome perks.

Side note: your weekly kill of Kazzak gives you 1000 apexis as well.

Wow, I browsed warcraftlogs a bit. Talk about inflation. The worst dps are doing around three times the damage as the best dps were when we did up to gorefiend and said "meh, we're done." Of course that's everyone having rings + actually having mythic gear + valor upgrades. But while the relative power has stayed stuck in the same place for the entire expansion, the gaps have gotten SO much wider holy fuck. I don't think I ever remember it being so bad. You can literally be worth half or less of another class in your best spec. And still be twice as good as someone else.

Of course after the initial "HOLY SHIT" I had to throw out the logs of the 0-healer boss kills. Holy fucking broken. 550k+? LFR people struggle to reach 30k.

Now, I understand that high gear levels really magnify balance issues. And in their quest to make classes so "different" going back several expansions they've made balance all but impossible. But my god, they nerfed specs that were only marginal, buffed good ones, and left godly ones alone. What the fuck are they doing? Is the PVP guy fully in charge of classes?

Around WOLK they had things pretty tight as far as my drug addled brain can recall. But it's just gone full retard ever since.

Keep in mind that since the fights are now very short, huge bursts always win the meters (mages bursting for over 1 million dps is not unheard, heh!).
Even with this taken into consideration, yes, it's fairly disgusting. Granted this is the result of fully geared BiS or almost people, but it's not even close to what they call "balance". Maybe it was during progression, I have no idea, but as it is now, basically you have to be a mage or a rogue or a warrior or occasionally a warlock, else you are going to suck major cocks and see people doing double your damage.

Unless you are serious in the mythic progression raiding scene, this isn't very important, but nonetheless it creates a stigma against certain classes, which then is reflected on many different difficulty levels, even in mythic dungeons (try running them as shadowpriest, it's a miracle to get a spot at 700+ ilvl).

I will be a bit sad but really those things cannot stay in long term or its going to make future content really weird with people still grinding missions in their garrisons. I made almost 15k gold from one characters garrison/naval yard last week. I pretty much have not needed to pay a thing for wow since around may pretty much 100% because of garrison gold missions.

At this point I am just building up as much time as I can on my wife's and my account. This way if the new expansion does not keep me interested, the time is free anyways. At least it will be worth doing multiple legendary quests for the weapon as opposed to farming the ring which I did on one character.

The ring is such a lame legendary, i coulda sworn they said the quest chain wasnt just going to be collect bear asses from each boss for every step and thats exactly what it turned out to be.

I made enough gold from the Garrison/Shipyard to get almost every single TCG Mount (Missing the 'rare' spectral saber and the shore strider) and all of the TCG Pets. Plus pay off my WoW account using tokens until February of 2017.

And now I am sitting at 1,800,000 gold and change going into Legion. Hell, if it really is not out until August/September (and I still log in twice a day), I have no doubt I will be up around 3m when it finally releases.

Right now? 5 fully set up Shipyard/Garrison. 3 maxed on Garrison (no shipyard - hate doing dailies for rep/oil). 2 just getting started. I play maybe twenty hours a week? That is spread out over 7 days, with six of those hours going into Mythic raiding. I like to play WoW at night to wind down before bed, with a movie or show on the other monitor.

I agree the apexis shit is pretty tedious, but if you get 3-4 good greasemonkey followers an alt shipyard become pretty self sustaining. If you bother to get revered hand of the prophet, the oil rig means you can spam ship missions as much as you want. There used to be no point, but after the buff to rare missions, they are actually a fantastic source of gold.

Garrison management is only a pain if you are going to all the buildings and doing all the harvesting crap every day. If all you do is sit your guy in front of the tables and at level 3 garrison naval table is right next to normal table it takes about 2 mins to collect all your loot from the previous night and set the minions to go get more crap. Generally I don't do even that many missions just anything with gold or items one can sell for gold so probably only 5-8 normal garrions missions at most per guy and a 2-3 naval ones.

With Master Plan if you right click on the % chance button it auto fills the group. Then you hit Send and all your prospective missions are started. It takes me longer to finish loading my garrison than it does to send out my garrison followers at the table.

I got banned from the wow subreddit for calling blizzard's "Buy CE and a second game - give it to your friend!" scheme "jewmode". If they don't like their religion to be a verb, don't be so goddamn greedy about everything

So we're getting garrisons in legion as well?

On top of what Flipmode said, they also said the art and UI was very temporary. Which could be bullshit to just calm people down and hold off the bitching for a bit.

They also have made it sound like there will be a lot less followers, and you'll be going on out on the missions with them.
