I spent 1000 Doubloons on this?!
After getting 1000 Seafarer's Doubloons to get the Albatross mount, it's pretty clear Blizzard never actually expected anyone to get it, because they clearly did not check what characters look like on it. My troll mage looks like it has a bird head sticking out of it's nethers, and it also looks like it is shitting a pair of wings.http://bit.ly/2EZx0FK
Goodbye Vanquishers
In BC/WoTLK days Blizzard ran arguably one of my fondest moments of the game, The Arena Tournament. This was a PAID opt in arena tournament anyone could join. Some people might remember this event, we had out own special realm tab for the tournament as well as equal access to gear. This tournament was a pure test of item/talent/skill optimization.I've been playing this game since day one but this tournament got me and my high school friends at the time jazzed up to play like pros. We were kinda casual so we never really raided ( School studies ) and got the dope Naxx gear that was out at the time we participated. We came out with the cheapest and stupidest team, 1 Holy Pally 2 Survival Hunters (Praise Explosive shot). We climbed everyday after school to the tops of the ladders. Our goal? That Murkimus the Gladiator pet. We always wanted the OG Murky pet and this little guy was just that but decked out with a "300" style spear and a little shield. Only needed to play 200 ...
If BFA was a standalone game (set in different universe) it would be dead already
Let's be honest here, if BFA was a standalone game not set in the Warcraft universe it would probably go from P2P to F2P after 3 months.And after another 3-5 months it would be dead.The only reason people are still interested in playing it is because they've spent YEARS on their accounts in WoW.
Ganking Stalker.
My bf and I were leveling in good old Stranglethorn Vale yesterday. We were on war mode so were expecting some fun and ganking. We were slaying some tigers and a 120 DH came and killed us, whatever we laughed and went on our way. 10 deaths later, getting a bit annoying.Got a Boomy friend and my bf went on his main to kill him and vengeance was ours for a bit. We then went to Darkshore and 2 quests in and he ganked us for 20 minutes. We thought we will go to Loch Modan because there was no way he would know where we have gone. As soon as we picked up the quests he killed us. We logged off and our boomy friend got these whispers from his alliance Pally who was his alt saying how he uses a bot to track where we go.We didn't mind he killed us so many times with WM on, just more the fact that it was the only thing he did for 2+ hours. I've logged on a day later a few times within 5 minutes of logging on he finds me and kills me. I made a ticket for harassment so will see what's...
The excitement for Allied Races is already gone for me
When these were first announced I was floored- finally we were getting cool alternate options for existing races. Lightforged were awesome, Highmountain were a cool addition to the world, Nightborne and Void Elves seemed like a cool way to introduce more elves into the story. Needing to create an entirely new character and get to max level in order to achieve heritage armor seemed daunting, but hey- it's something new to do!And then we got 4 more announced for BfA, except this time the reputations you need aren't earned through neutral factions you can earn on both Horde and Alliance. Instead the grind is now doubled. So I can earn the Alliance races, but I'll have to level up a Horde character, hit max, grind the rep, then I can start leveling a Mag'har Orc to 120... The will isn't there.And the illusion of Allied Races is already broken. Dark Iron dwarves should have been a customization option for existing dwarves, just as the Mag'har should have been for ex...
How WoW servers performed in 2010 - a real M(MASSIVE)MO.

Joana, famous for his Vanilla WoW leveling guides, is currently streaming his 2006 1-60 world record speedrun
From his stream:"The VOD playing was recorded back in 2006 during actual Vanilla WoW. This speedrun is currently the worlds fastest time from 1-60 in Vanilla WoW (patch 1.9.2) with a time of 4 days 20 hours and 50 minutes. This was done on the Jubei'Thos realm (official vanilla WoW Blizzard server, launched in January of 2006). Joana was also first to level 60 on the server. I may type in chat, but will not be using a mic as this is being streamed from my other PC. Please follow for future Classic WoW Speedruns!This is the only full 1-60 video of Vanilla WoW in existence. Plus it is the world record time from 1-60 in Vanilla. Unfortunately, I have no other Vanilla WoW videos. I plan to play this back continuously with small breaks in between until Classic Beta comes out. This is really my only chance to get to communicate with my Twitch fans as I am unable to stream live gameplay right now and I am working on Vanilla WoW leveling guides every day as well."Give the guy so...
Blizzard, allow us to queue for Island Expedition from Group Finder
I enjoy doing Islands but I hate being chained to the expedition map to queue.It would be nice to queue while doing WQs/farming.
It's so sad we will never probably have something like this again.

Why aren't the neutral factions doing anything?
The Cenarion Circle doesn't seem troubled that Sylvanas blighted a fourth of a continent, burned a World Tree and tried to kill their boss, the Earthen Ring likewise, the Argent Dawn is (probably) all wiped out, the Ebon Blade is just watching as Sylvanas upset the balance and create her own Death Knight (well, Dark Rangers), the Bronze Dragonflighted helped the Orcs return to the AU and bring stuff from it despite being supposed to protect the timeline (we technically have two Thralls now), Khadgar isolated himself, seemingly not concerned that the Horde could use,Dalaran for another attack against the Alliance (for the third time) ....What the fuck are they doing?
My Vanilla WoW Story, As Told By Screenshots
https://imgur.com/gallery/hk2rgWhI searched old drives and discs to put together this album. Using high-quality screenshots from the vanilla WoW, the story is loosely sorted using the date created files. The narrative is written based on my recollection of the times, my original descriptive file names, and sometimes just inference.It took me days to sort these out and describe each screenshot into the narrative, as best I can recall.Enjoy!EDIT: Thanks for my first gold!
The current state of the mission table is absolutely pathetic. Fix it, or remove it, stop half assing it.
Coming from the mission table in WoD, and Legion, to BfA is just sad. I loved building up an army of followers, and seeing them wandering around my garrison in WoD, to collecting followers in Legion, and going out on world missions with them.How did we go from Commanders of our factions, Leaders of our classes, to useless foot soldiers again? As well as that, there was great rewards, the weekly piece of raid gear, rare pets, mounts etc. Now we have a sad, pathetic, neutered mission table that feels like an afterthought at best. Rewards are absolutely terrible (146g for a 24hr mission, really?), the followers are pointless once unlocked, and they just sit around being useless in the meantime. Add more hidden followers, from achievements, quests, hidden dungeon quests (like Leeroy Jenkins in UBRS), and let them join us again.It was awesome running around the world with a big ass ogre like Blook, or being able to bring a pocket tank along as a squishy mage in Legion. Make WoW fun again. ...
