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.

    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
