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.

Yep for me anyway it was only 700Mb more of data.

Actually, you get a ton of stuff..

I have every single Collectors except the original games.. which I want. :(

  • 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.

What more do you want?!

OMFG.

If you want to know what happens when Deathwing torches a zone..

.

I am laughing my *** off, and I am so happy to know that the Worgen are going to be able get the feat of strength.

Contains A LOT of swearing though.. so be warned.

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.

OMFG.

British broadcaster and producer. I make videos and podcasts about videogames because it's hip to do so. I am not funny in any way.

I believe he gets paid to do so.

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.

    • Maradona if hydration breaks had existed in Mexico 86.
    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
