I'm here to post my thoughts on World of Warcraft.

Mainly a casual achievement hunter & Blood Elf enjoyer on retail.
We killed him in the twisting nether during the mythic phase of the fight in Warlords of Draenor.

It's the only time a mythic phase was cannon and Blizz have said they aren't going to do lore based phases like that again.

Blizz has to make money somehow. Of all the ways, this is nowhere near the worst options available for them to do.

My thoughts are that these kind of micro transactions are a way to stave off the monthly sub price increase. What's worse, this flexible system of spend YOUR money/gold how and on what YOU want, or EVERYONE'S sub cost goes up? At least this way, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to.

But you can also buy the items in game with gold if you really want it too. You don't actually have to spend and real money on any of this.

Is it though? You can see how much gold is needed to buy a token. So, make some gold to buy a token and you now have a bnet balance. Which you can then just buy whatever you want. If it's not enough bnet balance you make more gold until it is enough for what you want. Doesn't sound complex to me.

Isn't this what they're doing? You can grind the gold in game, then turn that good into a WoW token which allows you to get the items that way? Sounds like a way to earn the items in game without spending real money.

Then don't buy it. You have free will. If something exists or is created that doesn't fit either in your budget or you don't agree with it: don't buy it. I guarantee you with 100% certainty that Blizz is not putting a gun to your, or anyone's head to buy their virtual furniture.

No, this is kinda insane. Just play the game dawg. These all drop so frequently.

Release yourself from these made up shackles. Relax and enjoy the game itself. You don't need to hyper optimize remix, trust me. You're making the game so much less fun for yourself.

As a healer, you don't have to be targeting an enemy all the time. Sometimes friendly NPCs or RP elements are targeted. Or nothing's targeted. You may have to run off to interact to do a different job. Think like solving the puzzle in Mists of Tirna Scithe for example.

You can be targeting them, sure. But you're also looking at your characters feet, the party frames and boss timers as well. Those take priority in your brain to process information. Adding a focus kick or looking at nameplates moves your eyes and makes you process that on top of what's required.

I get it, but I'm just stating that history is not on your side lol.

I have the shattered Ashbringer and I don't care who also gets it. I just think there are a lot of cool unexplored options where we can get creative and come up with new mogs to make people feel better about the situation.

History has me leaning towards they aren't bringing them back. They didn't bring back MoP challenge run sets so I don't see them doing it for this.

If anything they'll have new rewards for stuff. Which I would argue is better. I don't want old stuff. Lemme get cool new stuff.

Honestly, these difficulties don't feel right. Normal has almost no relevance and heroic is way too easy.

I just want to know what happened where all normal/heroic mobs are so low hp they die immediately. You can't get a feel or learn anything when it dies in one global. It doesn't help anyone.

If gear is an issue, tanking delves are great to learn your rotation and have a lil help from Brann HP pots.

Doing an 8 is pretty easy as a tank and you'll get champ gear while filling out your vault.
