Mm... Dont know the date > But I do know that the next Seasons gear is on Public Test already. So I would "Assume" that it does end soon, yes.

MMO-Champion - WoW Up to 7.8 Million Subscribers
Blizzard has their Q4 2013 earnings call today, announcing that WoW is up to 7.8 million subscribers. This is up 200k from the Q3 2013 call that listed WoW at 7.6 million subscribers.
Haven't seen an MMO do that for a while. EQ briefly did it in PoP, iirc, but that's about it.
(Yeah, yeah, I know - EVE. That's just people buying third & fourth accounts with ISK and everyone knows it)

Buddy is bugging me to resub. If I do I'm going to try a tank, something I have never played in ANY mmo, always played ranged dps.

What's a great tank class I'm going to like leveling and at end game will always have a main tank role waiting for him? I've heard stories like a druid/DK will get passed over if a warrior/pali is available.

Wtf are they doing? I subbed and unsubbed after only 2 weeks and kicked myself for doing that.
They are not doing anything. There is just fuck all to play right now. And wow is just wow, you know. Its like that girl you had on call to get a piece, but at the last resort. I almost re-subbed, had a scroll in left hand and a CC in the other, but stopped myself at the last minute.

If you never tanked before try a Paladin or Dk. Pallies have alot of raid utilities like brewmaster monks so they both are the preferred tank classes. I'm currently tanking with a monk which has it's so much fun. Also I'm just only doing LFR until I'm sufficiently geared for flex.

I am max level with all tanking classes with exception of Druid. I have tanked with pally dk monk and warrior. My fav is monk by far.. They can solo any old content easily, as well as decent in PVP as windwalker (dps ) I have some concerns though as a monk tank I think I feel more squishy than say a plate counterpart but that may be just me. My first tank ever was a DK and they are equally powerful tank class can solo anything super easy, level up by grabbing all mobs in an area and AE them down etc etc...
Finally a DK starts at lvl 55 so you get a decent boost. I would say go with DK if you don't like it just wait until the lvl 90 boost comes out with pre order of new xpac and then pick another class. But if leveling is your thing go Monk

dont believe those stories and paladins are probably your best pick, easy to learn and play and always sought after bc they do good damage (well until the vengeance nerfs in 6.0) and have a good mix of personal and raid cooldowns

Some tanks are more gear dependent than others, but all things equal I don't think tanks are at such a premium that people are going to be picky about class for a flex or a normal pug.

Huge banwave towards the end of January. Tons of PQR users banned. Massive downturn in skill as all these people gotta go back to running their own rotations?

Correct, all player movement was still controlled, it would just run dps, tank, or healing rotation/abilities.
Wow, no shit? I never even knew about it. How fucking sorry a state is that? I can't imagine it doing things well for rogue with seal-fate shit going on.

All depends on the person creating the rogue "profile". Some of them were pretty intense and did a great job.

That general "scare" or threat of a "Ban" to people using those Combat Routines is all well and good. But after searching up how long honor buddy has been around... you mean to tell me that after three years (im guessing?) of people using that to farm mats, that theyve magically found some way to trace people using a Combat Routine that uses a fraction of what a botter does? Blow more smoke, Blizzard. If it happens, and people get banned then the game can only get healthier. But Im not convinced in the slightest. The only people Ive ever heard of that have received bans are those that blatantly bot.
