Don't bother posting much at the official forums, many of the people there are trolls. Just by reading the replies to your post you can understand all.

Back to the subject, selling/not selling even the most unneeded items on AH should be players' choice. It is all about getting more gold. It is like in real-life, if you search you can get it for less money, if not, go to an AH and buy it for a bigger price.

EDIT: I haven't seen all of the updates to the talent trees, but the update for the mages looks very cool. I think it makes us much more to be feared from.

If you actually read the thread you can see that Andrew is unwilling to listen to other people's suggestions and their opinions regarding the matter. He says they are trolling, but they are offering their advice. When someone said:

This is just like real world economy. The extra cost is convenience fee. Get over it.

Andrew's response was: quit trolling. I don't see how this is trolling. He says this is exactly like the real world. Also, if someone new joins the game, they will learn with time they can pick up some items from the NPC. It's like saying, when an immigrant comes to NA, they should always buy things from Costco. However, it is a convenience factor that makes them to go a closer location that may be more expensive.

They'll learn at their own rate. If they don't learn. Too bad.

Also regarding the new players should CATCH UP to your level? Do you realize they will just skip content then? They are starting new, they don't know how this game works. How can you expect them to start at level 50. It makes sense that they should actually level and feed you the levels so you can level together. Doesn't make sense for them to skip content. We will have even more level 70s who won't know how to play their class.

But that's blizzards doing. Take the last patch for example for Magisters Terrace on Heroic.. That (Level 70 Only) instance, was nerfed beyond belif. It used to be very healer intesive during the fight with the second boss, now he is cake. Same with Kael-Thas he used to be a pain with his bubbles, they now tick for less damage, and are larger/easier to avoid.

It's changes like this, and the increased quest EXP From level 30->60 that cause skipped content. When I started my mage around christmas, I was grinding instances, and doing every single quest I could find in order to level. I got it to 70 and began working on a pally, sofar I have run 1 instance as a group around my level, and been run through an instance. And Im level 32, I didn't run RFC, I didn't do WC, I didn't do a bunch of stuff a person at my level should, and I am leveling far faster than my mage.

But you aren't skipping content. You see, if every new player could jump to level 60...they will play the game for maybe 2-3 months. Blizzard wants to make money. If they take 2 months to get to 60 (cuz they are new, and checking things out), they will probably like the game more.

GUESS WHAT!

I am officially un-addicted (is that a word :p) to WoW! I took up a project a few weeks ago (see sig) and cos I've been so busy with it, getting content, updating it, coding it - I've not had the need to play it (and I don't want too).

It also helped that i corrupted my WoW by accident :p

Yay for me :D

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No, wait - i've got to do that damn website! :(

lol

I am a new player (although I own the game for few months, but started playing it few days ago). Level 15 Draenei Mage. So far I've done all the quests in the starting island. I've just arrived at Blood Watch (have been playing for 4-5 days). I play my game very deeply, doing all quests, exploring the wilderness.

But you could be right on this one, many players (at least ones that play from few local gaming clubs here in my city) just do power-leveling to get to 70 as fast as possible, skipping a lot of the game's content.

So with this Recruit-a-Friend thing... I think it IS a little backwards. In a sense.

Let's say you DO start a new toon to join your recruited friend. You both earn triple XP because you're grouped. Meaning you level up AT THE SAME RATE. How can your friend give you the extra levels? You have to be below their level, don't you? You basically can't play when they aren't, so you can stay below their level.

Basically, it's like going... "Okay, we've gained two levels. I'm going to log off for an hour--let me know when you've gained a level so you can give me the free one."

They can give it to one of your alts and save you from the 30-60 grind.

Or, "Hey, why don't you go do some quests, I've got to raid on my main. See you in a couple hours"

It's a way to catch up if the person you recruited goes on to play on their own.

I just started playing again... for the 9th time! Started saturday morning. Got my Warlock from 60 to 63.5.

I think I will bounce between my Warlock, NE Rogue and Hunter. Work on one, use up all rested XP, then move onto the next, and gain rested on the first, then do it for each one, rotating.

May also redo my entire UI, not sure.

I am having some serious latency problems these two hours (Frostwhisper realm). Are Blizzard doing some clean up or similar thing (because I have no problems outside WoW)?

Nevermind that, the problems are gone.

(Off-Topic)By the way, for how long is the EDIT button available? An hour?

I actually started a new account because of this (and I wanted the Zhevra mount). This is the perfect incentive to start dual-boxing. Dual-boxing, you gain 1.5 times more XP than you would solo. Say a monster gives 100xp to both of you. Three times that would be 300xp, but since you're partied you get half. So, you get 150xp.

You level INCREDIBLY fast with this. I started my dual-boxing toons last Friday night, and by the end of Saturday they were at level 24. I was level 26 before I left Ghostlands and went to Hillsbrad. It's sick getting 2000-3000 XP for normal quest turnins from the starter area. The hardest part about this is managing what quests to do before they turn grey because you level so fast.

Even though my guys are higher than what they should be for the normal leveling progression, it's nice because I can just roflstomp through them. I'm dual-boxing a Paladin and Mage and it's a blast. Once they get to 40, it will be AOE madness.

The high point of the level gifting is if you made a 2nd account. You get a toon to 70 on the other account, and then just gift a level 35 toon the 35 levels and they'll instantly be 70.

....then just gift a level 35 toon the 35 levels and they'll instantly be 70.

Cept once you hit lvl60 you cant recieve anymore lvls this way so you HAVE to lvl your way thru the 10lvls of Outland normally.

Also go us. Risen Hellscream EU finally in Sunwell :)

How exactly do people dualbox?

You could have gone at 58! o.O, haha, but grats anyway!

I just joined a guild ranked 4th on Twisting Nether US, 3rd Horde side. <Fates Hand> Pretty excited to raid with them, but a little unsure of how my performance will match the rest of the raid's.

    • Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions in Linux, new SNI implementation is now the default with GSI backup Implemented full DBus-Menu server to be used by new SNI tray icon implementation Replaced Linux tray balloon notification DBus client Rewrote auto-shutdown DBus interface for Linux Rewrote sleep inhibit DBus interface for Linux Dropped deprecated Linux dbus-glib dependencies Completely new Windows asynchronous file handling, now using IOCP model with several block-alignment optimizations Better handling of system network resets and interface down/up cycles Added option to fully clear configuration in Settings > Import/Export Remember last option checkboxes when using Import/Export Fixed minor I2P incoming connection routing problems Much faster I2P vanity host name finder Much faster channel user vanity key finder Raised length limit for torrent tracker remote failure messages to 120 from 64 Fixed problems setting download location on a torrent before the meta info is resolved Added location/MOC paths to category pane tooltips Several minor Web Interface fixes Refinements to static and scrolling ellipsizing layout routines Several fixes and improvements to single and multi-line text edit controls Many other minor fixes throughout the user interface A major overhaul of the Android framework has also been done: API target raised to 35, page alignment set to 16K Rewrote all inset processing routines Full rewrite of foreground service, application, and main activity objects New permission request routines Added multi-cast lock request before UPNP/LPDP discovery operations Fixed file permission and locking problems when loading .torrent from web browsers Fixed problems with Z-ordering of modal / non-modal and popup windows Fixed handling of back gesture on newer OS Added status bar icon

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.
