[...] It’s been an exciting, and fast month. The exp flows, the gold flows, the place looks amazing, really amazing, and on the whole the masses are quite happy with what Blizzard has done with the place. While the launch had a few issues, this may be (feel free to correct me) the only time we had a major launch and still had product on the shelves to cover the need while the servers remained mostly alive to players. As I’ve already written in some detail already about BC, I’d like to turn the floor over to you, our faithful reader. What about BC would you like to see some writing about? Sans high level raiding, I think I have tendrils in with enough people to get some sort of a story. The suggestion box is open. [...]

I’m still recovering from the stroke I suffered while grinding Timbermaw to exalted, so to hear that I now have to grind my life away just to enter an instance really pisses me off. Not much I can do about it other than complain. I believe my Uncle said it best “Life is a shit sandwhich, and the good days are when you only have to take one bite”.

I think world PvP objectives were put into the game to balance the advantage the horde have in battlegrounds. Sure alliance will tend to hold world pvp objectives but they have to wait 10-40 minutes to get into through a battleground queue. Plus the level 70 battleground armor is very nice and better then most world pvp rewards.

If you really want balanced pvp just look forward to the Arena system where alliance and horde teams will find themselves also battling the same faction. Since it has a matching system and points are based off opponent rankings it should be one of the fairest pvp systems to date.

Conflict is fine as flavor, especially for people who want it. However, I take exception when I specifically pick a PvE server to find out basic goals cannot be accomplished without zonewide PvP.

Perhaps it’s just because I play horde, and statistically speaking, I can expect zones to be in Alliance hands most of the time.

1. Did you wipe that shat you stumbled in off your boots?

2. PvP overemphasis? While I am not playing right now that is a reason to get me playing. WoW lacked conflict and I need conflict to stay interested. I don’t agree you should be thrown into it, but I fully believe you should have to be around it. If you don’t want direct involvement then you should be able to bypass it, but not be immune while doing so.

Eww… and to think I almost bought it an reactivated my account, yesterday. All I can say for the game is that the 10k+ xp walking quests are probably there to give people who’ve been 60 a long time a bit of a boost, given that they’ve probably long exhausted the majority of the quest xp for their level.
