World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

I will be focused on a bit of everything, I don't plan to do raid hardcore but will try get to interesting content when it comes up.

My primary focus will wpvp/pvp but I also wanna do the garrison stuff ect. How about you ?

PvE, I guess somewhat reverting to the hardcore.

The last two expansions have been a bit wandering for me, as my guild stopped raiding, and for me that was everything in WoW. I've enjoyed Flex to a certain extent and the gearing path it provides. I've also been interested in the gold making side of the AH, and just levelling alts and gearing them

A friend got in touch to tell me his old raiding guild were coming back together for WOD. They are planning to go through flex and then normal before launch to get people back in the mood, and then in WoD aim for mythic raiding(they always raided at the hardcore level).

It seems well run and good, and the times are grand. Mon/Tues 7-10. They won't be pushing any server firsts, but having a look back on their history they are pretty efficent for the hours they put in.

So I'm hoping WoD shoots a big boost for me for woW, as the last two expansions have been pretty laxadazicle.

Also be interesting operating back on Horde side, currently levelling up the characers I plan to raid with in WoD. Warlock main and DK tank alt.

Only downside is there went for a high pop realm, Kazzak. Looks like I'll be using the RDP stockades trick to keep logged in

Logged back in for the first time in almost 2 years, based on the WoD news and reports. I've never had so much guild spam! I remember having to fight for a guild spot.

Still, handy to get into for the bonuses

Guild bonus' will carry you 95% of the way

PvE at the start, and than once I can only get tough gear I'll play PvP to make the time go by quicker.

Currently in MoP i'm rep grinding and acheivement whoring as I see no point in trying to get great gear as it'll be easy replaced soon

Dam it i signed up, mite start fresh any one recomend a good server besides bladefist,
evenly balanced twould be good !

I always used http://wow.realmpop.com/eu.html for seeing what realm has what (roughly) - although it's less of an issue now that specific zones are cross-realm.

Auction Houses will also be cross-faction in Warlords, so that won't be an issue either.

Can't believe how inflated gold is, I see people trying to sell items costing near to gold cap of 1 mil. How would someone even get close to that?

Ugh. Last Prince buff supposidly before WoD. And I have got the benefit of it for two days before I've hit the Valor quest which takes 3 weeks. Wanted to get this done ASAP on my new main since the guild are raiding flex and normals.

And the Valor part not being removed until October. I'd say by the time I finish the valor part, they will probably ****ing remove it.

The economy is broken. I'm doing that stupid legendary cloak quest and have to spam LFR for the Secrets of the Empire. I've done Throne of Thunder and Siege of Orgrimmar, add in to that the Shadowpan Dailies (5 or so quests) and the daily dungeon, and I've made about 1.5k by just playing the game.

If you really went about it you could make gold with ease. I was selling Embersilk Bags, for example, for nearly 400g per bag for essentially 15mins work farming the cloth.

It's not broken at all, there is such a high turnover now with gear, and the assosiated gems and enchants and reforges, obviously players are spending more on their characters maintenance and upkeep then they ever did.

The economy, oddly enough, is never broken. While sometimes there might be inflation of pricing, that simply develops from a shortage of supply. It's that simple.

WoD will definitly reign in the flow of gold in the game, as gear optimisation slows way down ( only certain gear can be gemed, certain gear enchanted, reforging gone). So immediately the turnover rate of sales will drop, and competition will stiffen. Undercutting violently will be back as a mainstay and sellers will only be grinding out small profits on small volumes. So the economy will definitly shrink.

It's also worth remembering the economy explodes during the early part of a new expansion. Gathering proffesions, providing raw materials, is a great place to get involved in if you have a character with a gathering proffesions, or room for one.

Remember that in WOD gatheirng proffs will feed into everything. Jewelcrafting requires herbs now to make gems, so the usefullness has expanded. Tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking can all make gear sets from the get go, so there will be high demand for raw materials.

Gatheirng proffesions always lead the way in a new expansion to generate large profit, and this one more then ever. But in time things will settle again, whereby someone like me, goes along to buy the materials raw, and then turn them into something for drastically more profit.

Gathering gives you a short term bump in income, but longterm is terrible time / profit ratios. Same for farming in general in fairness.

i have given up on wow till wod. sick of it

I have 3-4 legendary cloaks lol, as far as gaining a legendary which is supposed hard to get this was relatively easy.

Especially with the buffs later on it was so easy.

There is nothing remotely challenging about having to grind items over the course of raid resets, buff or no buff.


I would love to see the legendary ring quest line in WoD (that the Dev's have said will have no grinding or pvp) go the way of the Warlock green fire quest and you know... be somewhat challenging. Basing part of it on ability to understand fight mechanics or your class would be a great idea. The fact I wiped several times on the final boss fight for my Green Fire made it all the more desirable.

I'm assuming you're a raider then - I had to trawl my way through endless raid finders to get the drops, found it to be absolutely horrendous. LFR has ruined WoW in my view, its just a forum for trolls and idiots. Quite enjoyed the rest of it but the raid parts were unbearable!

Not really no, i have raided this past patch of course but i pugged my way to SOO kills and to do that i had to get the cloak through raid finder/flex.

LFR is bad but you could do flex, my point however was being able to get a legendary from LFR ect is so easy compared to past versions of legendary quests (no way you could get if from LFR).

The only hard part was the fights with the black prince ect which was kinda difficult from the perspective you had to think.
