Every quest so far that I have done, which rewarded more than just gold had an item which used to be an actual piece of gear, but was changed to a grey /25g item. Wondering if the gear from questing on Argus was just outdated, or were people getting upgrades via quests when it launched?

Those were not pieces of gear, they were AP tokens

Are you being purposefully obtuse here? They want the last expansion raid content to be prestigious in the new expansion. Sure, you can eventually solo it. In order to get the transmog that shit will take you months. Or you can work on mythic for months when the content is current by raiding it. They don't want casulols like me rolling around in mythic antorus gear. Once it's 6 years old they don't care anymore.

Ion was asked why in the Q&A today. His response was pretty much "people won't be able to solo it anyway". He said nothing about prestige or rarity. If they wanted to preserve rarity they would just lower the drop chance on certain items. I'm not really sure why you're playing devil's advocate on this one.

The reason they added Legacy Loot mode at all was because of the unintended side effect of forced personal loot in older content while soloing. It was a "bug" fix. It didn't have anything to do with them deciding older content t-mog gear didn't need to be as prestigious anymore.

Bags and squares and L shapes inside other bags?!? It's like bagception tetris with that addon. Hard pass.

All of that is customizable. All that is, is padding in between your custom groups. You can turn that completely off if you want to, or you can change row or column layouts, or sizes, or automatic resizing. Come on man...it puts each of your custom categories into their own separate container within your bag layout.

ArkInventory for bag president.

ElvUI built in one-bag and its auto sorting is perfectly fine.

I do like that BoE tag on items in one of those screens tho

They're too far gone Lenardo. There's no saving them. I just hope, for their sake, that one day they can break free from the bag chains that bind them

"Work for it". By getting 34 other people in a group so you can go tackle LFR rather than doing it solo? Or getting 9 other people so you can go do Normal when you would probably be able to kill everything by yourself anyway?

Even if he is right and people won't be able to solo this stuff in BfA... if you gear yourself correctly and find some crazy strats and work your ass off and figure out a way to actually solo it you get rewarded for all that work by... not getting any loot. So actually if you "work for it" too fucking bad. You need to just join a group and face roll it and hope PL puts it in your bag instead.

Yeah remember when that super badass DK solod current world bosses in Pandaria? A few other DK's solod other raid mobs in current Pandaria as well iirc. They deserved their loot, but they'd get nothing now. It's so fucking backwards and unlike anything any other MMO does as far as I know. This Ion guy really is a piece of shit.

This would be like not being able to loot Nagafen between 50-65, and only being able to loot him before 50 and after 65. So dumb. It's so very bizarre.

That does sound pretty good once you get over the learning curve. I have my own system in my bags, but I know it'd be better with a mod's assistance. I just hate relying on mods because of patch days, even though I know most get fixed very quickly. Like right now after soloing raids I have to go through all my bags to make sure I don't sell any BoE's to merchants, and I usually do it twice just to be sure because sometimes I miss shit. If there's a way to auto sort BoE's that's awesome.

Mione? He's still at it in Legion (as a DH tank now). He solo'd Gul'dan and a +22 Court of Stars and who knows what other crazy shit.

Lol what a nutter. I thought that shit was done with the changes to vengeance attack power stacking. Is he still doing it on a DK or has he moved to Vengeance DH? Edit: yeah, DH, figures. As someone that plays a Vengeance DH I thought it would be a DH, the self healing was ridiculous before the patch.

LOLore and all that jazz, but I just want to throw out my prediction of a super cringe moment where a Blizzard employee is on stage for a Q&A and drops, "You thought the expansion's name 'Battle for Azeroth' was about the Horde vs. Alliance, but it was really about Azeroth vs. The void lords and the old gods!"

Then he's going to have this dumb look on his face because he thinks he dropped a bomb of wisdom on everybody, but everyone is like, "No shit."

Bring back Garrosh! Garrosh did nothing wrong!

To date he's the literal only character who was able to harness old god powers and not get corrupted. Seriously.

Can the Awoken Titan Essence be used to up the class legendary weapon? I'd prefer a bow over this gun I have.

Edit: Ooh, derp. Nevermind.

Damn I just realized I can totally pseudo transfer servers for free via 110 Character Boost + BoA Legendary Tokens + Battle Pets transferring over and selling for gold. Now I just need to find another server and a class I want to play for BFA.

How do you beat enrage timers and shit?

A lot of bosses enrage timer is just a buff they get that lasts 30 minutes. As it turns out with Gul'dan he isn't much of a threat in P1, so Mione just let him enrage and outhealed the adds and shit for 30 minutes until it wore off.



Also here's an aff lock soloing Xavius:

Whats the deal with Invasion Portals? I'm trying to clear 3 of them, have 2 done, but the last few I've tried... are just empty, even though I see other ppl zone in. Do you get thrown into a random instance?
