Besides they don't offer every slot of gear in valor gear, nor justice gear at 85.

I liked badge gear for the tier drops, but when they extended it to Karazhan and then to every aspect imaginable of the game, I thought it was too much and detracted from the accomplishment of actually getting the gear. Idk though, that's just me, people can feel free to think otherwise.

The long overdue achievement nerfs for Arathi Basin and Battle for Gilneas will be coming in 4.1. Welcome news indeed.

[Ithekro]

In a matter of useless achievements, I managed to make it to 40 exalted reputations last night finishing off all the new CATA reps (aside from a tiny piece of Hyjal rep in exalted that will be complete partway through the next heroic). So I get the title "the Exalted" before they decide to turn it over to 55 reps.

One more goal down. Next magor goal won't be possible until Children's Week comes again. Complete that and I get "What a Long, Strange Road it has been" done. I also get 25 mounts at that point, and "free" 310% riding speed. It is a mostly useless achievement, but it is something to do while the guild gets geared enough for CATA raids.

For two years now all I've missed for my paladin to have "What a Long, Strange Road it has been" was Children's week. I missed it two years ago because of school, last year because of being hacked literally a day before the event started. But since i let my account die I've been wondering if I should bother re enabling just to get that done or not.

Yes, I've been playing World of Warcraft ever since I was 11 years old, it just suddenly came to me while I was walking around the store and just found the game box, and after watching all the advertisements about it, and some friends recommending it. I picked it up and played on, of course I was confused out of my mine on what to do when I first started. It all seemed easy to get along with.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Geez makes me feel old... 6 years of WoW, with 5 years of EQ prior.

[Ak3mi]

Once again im thinking of going back to wow, been playing it since the start with like so many breaks in it, tried rift didnt like it too much felt it was missing something. Anyone able to tell me what shadowpriests are like in pvp right now they better then what they were like 4 months ago?

[Last Sinner]

They're instant 2.2k in 2s if teamed with a good Frost Mage or Warlock and also rampant in 3s. Secondly, Shadow Priests were never truly out of favour in PvP anyway.

[Kotohono]

God blizzard sure did a lot of april fools stuff for wow , so of them were fairly funny to me, so copying what I found amusing.

Spoiler for Patch 4.1.11 jokes:

Random Guild Finder

* As the popularity of the Guild Advancement system continues to rise, we realize an increasing number of players feel that the experience of finding an adequate guild continues to be daunting. To address this, we’re introducing an all-new Random Guild Finder! Players may use this new feature to queue for automatic guild placement. You’ll be placed with a random guild at the click of a button, allowing you to partake in whatever content they may or may not be doing. After being placed, you’ll receive a cooldown which will not allow you to leave the guild, or for them to remove you from the guild, for fourteen days. Get to know your new friends! We’re sure they’ll enjoy getting to know you. If the guild you’re automatically placed in does not exist on your current realm you’ll be automatically charged for a paid realm transfer and moved there.

Death Knight
When using the Need Before Greed looting system, other players may not roll on loot until the Hero Class has chosen to pass.
Death knight customer support tickets will always be handled before those of other players.

Mage
In addition to their current spells, mage Mirror Images now can randomly cast Frost Nova, Ring of Frost, Portal: Dalaran, and Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Images. Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images…
All Frost mages now receive a complementary personal Arena rating of 2200 upon reaching level 85.

Druid
# Different models have been added for male and female versions of Bear Form. The difference is subtle unless you know where to look.
# Druids no longer talk to Innkeepers to set their Hearthstone. They are instead now required to talk to Stable Masters.
# Druids now perform an area-of-effect knockback when harvesting herbs, looting, or skinning (does not remove Flight Form).

Hunter
Hunters now earn Valor Points when they are effectively Vote Kicked from a Dungeon Finder group.
# Pets: regardless of what pet is actually tamed, these creatures will appear as either a wolf (Horde) or cat (Alliance) when in combat. In addition, we have implemented an exciting new cross-breeding system where players can mix pets of various families with unpredictable results. Be the first on your server to show off a Mothmonkey, Crocoliskchimera or Warp Crab (these will still appear as either a wolf/cat when in combat).
# Ettin’s Grip (new talent) allows the hunter to equip two ranged weapons simultaneously.

Rogue
Due to continual misspellings of the “rogue” class, we have officially changed the name to the easier to type “rouge.”
Pick Pocket now works on friendly players, bankers and auctioneer NPCs.
Vanish now has an additional 5% chance to fail for no discernable reason.
Rouges may now cast Stealth while Stealthed, entering the state of Double Stealth, which is not only stealthier than Stealth, but also causes the word stealth to cease to make sense to your brain. Stealth.


Dungeons & Raids
* Ever a player favorite, the level-80 10- and 25-player raid of Icecrown Citadel is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.
* Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of The Bastion of Twilight is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.
* Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of Firelands is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.
* Ever a player favorite, the level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon of Deadmines is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Acknowledging the continued requests of our players, an Appearance tab has been added to the game! The Appearance tab will finally, at long last, allow players to customize the look of their non-combat pets. Simply summon a non-combat pet and use the Appearance tab to change its look to that of any of the other non-combat pets you own. Summon, customize, and play!

Also apparently the CM is having some fun too like with replies like this .

* All talents and glyphs which referred to Judgement now correctly affect Judgment.
* The sound of most Retribution abilities has been redesigned to produce a more audible clunk when used. The rotation should now feel clunkier overall.
* Paladins are now required to tithe 10% of their gold income to their church.
* Paladin chat and whispers now appear with sparkles.
* Some paladin abilities did not contain the words Sanctity, Divine, or Justice. This has been corrected.

I forgot about the church one that I actually laughed at it.

I remember an Alliance Paladin doing that once in the past. While the group he was with attacked and started to run away from Orgrimmar after attempting Thrall. A paladin just stood behind and used a stealth potion to sneak some kills on people who were still "pvp" and when we got close to him. He would bubble and hearth

[Kyero Fox]

complaining about Bubblehearth is just as bad as a warlock fleeing someone and running, a rogue vanishing, a mage ice nova and TPing away. sure its a LITTLE more of a safescape. its not OPed.

I never Bubblehearth except for stupid things like being camped.

its fun to do it against ass holes who like to camp lower levels.
