Gambling in game can get your account banned.. just fyi EVN.. It's because Gambling can take the game to a Mature rating and Blizzard doesn't want to deal with it.

Be warned they log chats.

I also, came here bringing good tidings:

Go into your wtf folder and edit config.wtf and launcher.wtf:

Change the account from LK to CT in both files then launch wow.. on LIVE, and you can pull in the remaining files for cataclysm, and all you have to do is put in your key when you get your final copy.

It works beautifully!

Or upgrade now via battle.net and let it do it anyway. This way I don't have to even put in the key.

The rules changed 3 or 4 years ago, here are the current rules on gambling. and some blue poster advice on gambling.

Don't spam, don't scam, beware of people you can't trust. Advice that applies to everything in the game also applies to gambling. Who knew?

Well with the last few months of WoW being pretty boring, I'm really looking forward too Cataclysm coming out. Glad I managed to get the ICC25 meta achievement done last week, a little sad that I can't be bothered to go for the Insane title.

Also a little sad what they did to my Paladin with the latest patch, not sure if it will still be my main in the new expansion, but at least I have another 8 level 80's too choose from.

  • Buy cheap crap on the AH and sell it high. Right now glyphs are still pretty viable: buy up anything with <5 on the market selling for less than 30g and repost it. "good" glyphs (read every classes 'how to play in 4.0 guide') can be resold for 100g+. Don't waste your time farming for herbs or making glyphs unless it is substantially cheaper than just buying finished glyphs and reposting.
  • Selling mounts and titles. An ICC achievements drake will net me around 10k for about 5 hours of work. An Ulduar drake brings down half as much gold but takes about half as long too. Titles (kingslayer typically) will turn up 2k for about 10 minutes of work so I sell those when I can.
  • If I'm just chatting in town I might make up some of the old enchants: mongoose, 30 spellpower, crusader, etc. using materials from the AH. If the difference in mats vs average sell price is > 100g then it's worth the effort.
  • Gem buying/cutting/relisting worked but the profits are way down from where they used to be. I rely on friends to do the cutting for me now so I almost never bother with it these days. It's probably the easiest market to get into because you can farm justice points for your first 10 gems and after that it's entirely self sustaining
  • Selling rare items at a markup. 8 months ago I'd hop in trade chat and try to buy things like Battered hilts or primordial saronite for 6k or 1k respectively from anybody offering, then I'd just take them to the AH and list them for 8k or 1.5k respectively (about 5% under AH price). Profit rolled in pretty fast. Some BOE items (necks, wand, chest from ICC) sold very well but I try to avoid dealing in items I can't use myself.

When I'm actively trying to make gold I'll spend around 30 minutes a day with the auction house and then my normal activities (basically I just raiding) was bringing down about 2k per week from boss drops and stuff I could shard or sell.

Once you've got dual spec, all the heirlooms, and your tier sets for all of your specs there's no cost in the game. I make it a rule to stay above 50k at all times and average around 75-90k on a typical day. Sometimes I'm way up or down from gambling, but over time you'll break even on that. Past 20k there's really no change in 'quality of life' so it's hard to be motivated to earn gold past that point.

I'm not a mount or achievement ###### and the best gear is from raiding so I don't buy anything other than flasks/food/potions (and even those I buy in lots of 100+ so the price is very cheap, ie 10 stacks of fish-feasts for 1k instead of buying them individually for 180g per stack)

Thanks for this post evn. I now have just over 3000 gold so still a long way to go, i've spent some time getting my herbalism and mining professions up to where they should be but it's a long task. I need 6100g for artisan flying and then cold weather flying.. Whats the deal with the Glyphs? apart from buying a coupe of using them i dont know much about them. And also where would be a good guide you mentioned? i'm a human warrior.

definitely a bit meh, there should be more in-game stuff with the collectors edition. I'd take the mousepad but the rest wouldnt get taken out of their packet. I'm just going to buy the standard box on release day. Thought about digital pre sale but i have the other 3 boxes.

some exclusive in game gear maybe? - instead of a pet i'll have running about with me for 10 mins before i get bored of it being in the way.

Just a thought...

The Spectral Horse mount would be a no no :p I'm thinking along the same lines though

Special edition should come with a Horse Mount (Similar to The Spectral Steed, Invincible in the sense its it a land/flying mount) but the skin is the same skin as Deathwing and it breathes fire (not like the Warlock Mounts!)

Some sort of in game robe/clothing item that does not affect combat or stats?

Many collectors editions on consoles tend to have "extra" in game content or they are bundled with themes etc. Bit of extra Exclusive in game stuff would not hurt at all. The pet and the feat of strength is a gimmick.

On a side note, do you think Blizz can or will ever do anyhting about the random ques? I have 5 lvl 80;s, this rogue will make 6, but the wait times for the randoms is stupid long:

All the information you need is 'right there' in the screen shot: there are no problems with queue times if you're a tank or healer.

If you insist on playing as a DPS you're going to wait for your chance to play with people doing the more difficult to fill rolls or

you're going to have to make some friends.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
