Last I heard I thought they stop'd you from doing that?

Nope you can do it, mailed my alliance toon an heirloom mace yesterday from my horde character ... Quel'Dorei is a pretty good server ... if you want to VoA then play Horde, Alliance normally only wins WG on Tuesdays on this server :p

I think he's talking about the neutral AH trick - i don't think there are any neutral AHs anymore.

Ahh, yeah you can still do it .. just gotta watch out. You can use the neutral AH in Tanaris Desert ... Gadgetzan.

"Characters on the same account cannot bid on items put up for auction on any Auction House by a different character on the same account, even if the characters are of different factions (Alliance or Horde) using a neutral Auction House." From the WoWwiki page for Auction Houses.

I imagine i could get a guildy to buy the auction and just pay him the amount from my main. You also make a ton of money from 60-80 so i doubt i would have much trouble with money

I've decided that i'm staying horde, so now i'm trying to decide whether to go Female Orc (who i heard look awesome as DK) or female Blood Elf (who i heard also look awesome), but for the life of me i can't find any good pictures of what end game female orcs/blood elfs look like in t9.5/10.

Orc's better.

Orc is second from left and Belf second from right.

And in-case you wanted to look at other's:

I said the same thing.

You basically have your alliance toon set up an auction on a neutral AH, then have a friend buy it from their horde toon (you can't buy your own auctions) and the money goes to your alliance toon, minus the AH costs.

That little trick has been around since the introduction of Neutral AH. Gadgetzan and Booty Bay both have neutral Auction Houses you can use to send the money.

There's a cap of 20,000g when you transfer a character. That made sense back in 2005 but when you

have mounts like the motorcycle or mammoth that will cost that much: it's time to raise the cap.

Agreed. Not looking foward to transferring 3 toons to a new realm to move all my gold. The only plus side is two of 'em are 80's and only one is an alt/banker that'll I need to level to up to ten.

They seriously need to up the gold transfer and the toons per server limit.

[rant: Haters gota hate]

OK, last evening I got into an altercation with another player in an instance (Nexus HC).

Basically we had a rubbish tank. We didn't wipe or anything but the guy wasn't doing us any favours.

'Fair enough' I think, you can't win them all...as a DK I was happy to help manage agro and make sure the healer stayed alive.

I like to tank myself on occasion so I know it's not as easy as some pure dps players like to think.

Another player in the instance however didn't share my easy going attitude and insisted on whining and bullying the tank throughout the entire instance.

You know the kinda guy, thinks he knows everything and that no other player is as good as him and we'd all be dead if he weren't there.

Eventually I got fed up of the party spam and told him to 'give it a rest' and suggesting that he was distracting...which apparently landed me in the ****.

Insults started flying my way and accusations such as 'if you can't dps and text at the same time that's your problem'

I tried to just ignore it hoping the guy would leave and take his hate some place else...most likely into WG or something where he can yell at a few more people.

I thanked the healer noting that trying to heal a couple of melee characters with agro flying all over 'must have been like trying to heal a box of kittens'...he laughed and thanked me in return.

Mr. Hater decides that attention needs to go back onto him accusing me of being a suckup...despite my nature I was starting to get ****ed.

I let Mr. Hater know that I was just trying to be friendly and that my telling him to 'give it a rest' was simply my way of mediating between players and trying to help the instance go a little smoother.

All through this the tank had actually said nothing...just some vague comment about usually playing an unholy.

I tried to assure Mr. Hater that I was just trying to be friendly...the tank may suck but that's no reason to bully the player (if Mr. Hater didn't like it...why not just leave? Why did he have to go on and on at the guy?)

I suggested that I only worry encase one day one of these players getting bullied turns out to be a player with a disability (something I can relate to) and I gave down syndrome as an example.

(I know a full range of people which play with disabilities ranging from schizophrenia to aspergers through to dyslexia and so off the top of my head DS seemed like a reasonable example)

That's when the s*** hit the fan...Mr. Hater either misunderstood my meaning or simply wanted to twist what I said towards his own ends suggesting that I was

'some kind of sick f*** thinking that that s*** was funny' and that if I "even knew what down syndrome was I would know that there was no way some one like that would be playing this game"

He then continued on to surreptitiously announce his intention to 'tell on' me by contacting my guild master (a well known raider) and telling him of my sick conduct.

I lost it...giving up entirely on my reasoned argument and replaced it simply with 'f*** you!'

I'm expecting my guild master will receive a mail whilst I'm at work today with some twisted version of the discourse...

In honesty, I was just trying to be a friendly player.

This is why I hate most of the people in wow, usually when that happens I just respond with "your mom" some how and then just ignore that guy, not responding to his messages reallllly ****es them off, without acknowledgment they get bored and just basically yell at themselves.

Fixed.

Hrde rape all alliance in WoW right now, on Blackhand US Alliance never win WG, we get 24 vehicles and then its done, 30 minutes of free alliance kills lol. But on our battlegroup we make up for not winning AV :-(

Sounds exactly like my server and battlegroup. :p

Yeah Aliance tends to win in AV on my server as well. It's amazing how disorganized the horde are for that BG alone. As soon as we join some other BG they tend to win.

Having been on both sides of the battle, I know that the Alliance have a shorter trip and can kill the mid-way lieutenant NPC and topple more towers in a shorter amount of time. It's not perfectly symmetrical, and since Blizzard made it a race, the Horde have a slightly harder time. I prefer the days of old when AV used to go on for hours.

I loooooooved the old AV battles, they were so much more fun, the new Resource version just makes me sad.

Week long AV's, where you would que up and play for hours on end. I loved it. Benefit of Oceanic and USA players being put onto the same server. That AV stay fulled 24/7 and ended like at maintenance or right before.

    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
