Today near the Alterac Valley entrance.

Remember the times every 2nd warrior was with TUF? Every warrior and rogue is with GM 1h/2h swords now.
It's kinda disappointing for a former Grand Marshal. Now I'd be unique wearing TUF.

Seriously, do paladins in blues think that they are uber damage dealers?
I love ones with 3k health and 2k mana autoattacking mobs.

Based on a real story.

I was runing around with a Nogenfogger buff in AB.
Was fighting with a couple of hordes at BS and some paladin was standing there doing nothing. So, I died and started writing a whisper to him: "man, wtf, couldn't you throw a he"... and got a whisper: "lol, sorry, you are too small, I couldn't select you! :)".

I should have posted this earlier, but what really made me do it was this pic I found on WoW forums by Bitmap (Frostmourne).

Another good post which summarizes a lot people said recently - "Casual Gamers should enjoy their casual gear and stop posting".

I'm playing as a warrior currently.

In the 2.0 patch they changed a lot. I don't really feel nerfed with 41 arms. I miss enrage and piercing howl.

But I'm really pissed. And that's why.

In a couple of months pre BC when people understood that all their gear will be worthless when BC comes out a lot stopped raiding. They just don't show up. Why bother if level 65 greens are better than my tier2/2.5/3? Good news is that many people realize that this gear will help them level up faster. That's why I'm using pots/scrolls/buffs all the time I level a new char. So it wasn't that bad.

But with 2.0 patch they screwed everything up even worse. Not only free epics from PvP, but no decursive and shaman loot — that's what destroyed raiding. As a former Grand Marshal I would honestly quit the game if not the BC in a month where all this gear will be obsolete anyway. My heart is crying when I see a rogue in some "of the monkey" greens and two GM swords.

I played a day 1/2 hard as I did 6(six) weeks 5 days a week to advance from rank 13 to 14 and got 11k honor. It's a slap in the face.

With 30% honor gaining nerf they kind of saw their mistake but anyway it was too late and it is still wrong.

People who never got rank 14 will not probably understand me.

These stupid comparisons with cars costing more when they are new and less when new models come out and working more to make money and buy one annoy me.

1. your money earned don't decrease if you work less or don't work
2. you don't have to compete with lots of other workers to get the highest FIXED ammount of money
3. there's no weekly cap on money you can earn working 24 hours a day (like no matter if you work 16 hours or 24 if you work better than others you'll get $13k for a week)

and here's my example.
1. so you want a car. you work 16+ hours a day. you know that no matter what you do, if you are working more than your coworkers you will get enough money to HAVE ACCESS to some place where you can grab as many cars of a certain model as you wish (though you can't sell them and only you can use them). but really, you need only one car, and it doesn't matter much if there was only one car for this price. during the MONTHS you have to work you can't stop or you will get no money at all, you can't miss a day or get ill or you will have to work twice as hard. your money decrease if you don't work. you need to work harder than your coworkers who also try to work as hard as they can. and once you got access to this place with lots of cars, after a week your access is gone. if you want to get a new model you need to start working this way again.
2. so you want a car. you work 16+ hours a day for several days, earn enough money, buy one car for a fixed price and stop working.
3. so you want a car. you work for 2 hours a day several days a week. one week you got ill, but your money don't decrease. so in a several weeks you get your car and are happy with it.

so, tell me, wouldn't you be pissed if after you bought your car in case 1 they changed the system to case 2 really wanting it to be case 3? just read again case 1 and 2. and think about it.

"casual gamers shouldn't be penalized",- someone said. that's true. but they seem to want free epics with no effort. if you work 10x more you must have 10x better gear than others. in fact it's like 1.5x for 10x more work in the game.

casual doesn't mean that they can't play 12 hours a day a FEW days in a row. I know many people who usually play a couple hours a day and are happy with that. but after the patch came out they were playing 10+ hours a day and got all the PvP gear they wanted.

I should have sold my warrior long time ago. at least I would have some money.
