How to get 20 Elder Charm of Good Fortune in 5 minutes (Treasures Scenario)

2013-06-19T10:14:00.001-05:00

First of all you need a "Key to the Palace of Lei Shen" which drops in 80% from one of the bosses of weekly quest "Champions of the Thunder King" or from any rare monster on "Isle of Thunder". Key gives you an acess to scenario and one run is enough to get a cap of charms.

This video shows the fastest route for farming big chests and + bonus you can complete the achieve "In the Hall of the Thunder King" in one run.

Whenever you think WoW sucks just remember...

I wish they never changed the part where you had to jump. Many a failures, haha. BFD exists to make warlocks feel useful.

As alliance it was a scary trek. The only alliance race that could access it with relative ease was the Night Elves, and that was running through Stone Talon Mountains and Barrens; pretty tough as a pre-20 character. If you weren't a Nelf the only option (aside from a summon) was to corpse hop through STV to Booty Bay, then take the boat to Barrens. Just getting there was a time consuming effort, but it felt so epic once there, especially if you had to fight Horde over the summoning stone. :)

Alter Time affects portals & Those who USE IT [Could be interesting]

2013-06-18T15:39:00.000-05:00

Pretty random bug, does not work everytime and worked 3out of the 8times we did it.

was pretty funny killing my paladin mate when the alter removed hes bouble xd twice

Cast portal ancient Dalaran.
Click it
Alter time after it has loaded
Wait few seconds (obviously)
Alter time back.
If done right the guy will be teleported back to where when you used alter time.
PROFIT

We been doing it for the last 15 minutes, tobad alter time has 2min cd and it does not work every time :3

Don't know what ways we could use this in seeing if you go to far alter breaks. but its pretty cool trolling ppl when you got fast loading

Not sure if theres a timer we need to hit, but we got it to work more then once so posting it hopefully i can find out how to do it better later on

Taylorswift has joined the instance group.

2013-06-18T15:25:00.000-05:00

I hope you didn't kick her just for the sake of a joke be course My guildies use to do this to each other all the time in Cata lfr with our alts. Just give funny reasons to remove each other from the group & see if the rest of the group actually votes yes. My favorite was one of the guildies giving the reason "hates hot pockets" to kick my buddy. The raid leader pipes up "HOT POCKETS CONTAIN SEVEN IMPORTANT VITAMINS AND MINERALS". The vote passed

Gold Farming spot 4k+ gold! (While mistfall village quest is down)

2013-06-18T14:22:00.001-05:00

Hey guys! I'm just here to update a new farming spot for when the Mistfall Village daily quest farming spot is not up!

Before the best spot to farm was just killing the trogs in Deepholm, sadly this has been nerfed so it's not worth farming those mobs anymore!

my new farming spot is located in Twilight Highlands and after 1 hour of farming with Potion of Treasure finding i gained :

1.3k gold (pure loot gold/trash sold)
29xPyrium ore
12xElementium ore
8xVolatile life
10xVolatile air
27xVolatile water
14xVolatile fire
20xVolatile Earth
3xElementium lock boxes
865xEmbersilk cloth

I also looted more than 30 Green items which i vendored (If you are an enchanter there's much more gold in disenchanting and AH)

There's also chances to loot Rares and Epic BoEs to sell on the AH!

Where the farming spot is located is here :

and it looks like this :

You'll be killing Twilight Spearwarder

to be able to see these mobs you will need to be phased by a quest chain which is from Easy Pickings

it's available for both Alliance and horde!

If you need a mailbox / vendor i recommend flying to this place (takes 1 minute flight time)

I hope my guide will help you out

I Think You're Beautiful.

2013-06-17T15:31:00.001-05:00

That just made me smile. It's so true. Every expansion I would visit the barber shop, thinking ... maybe ... nope. Oh well. And then again Try being a female Tauren... 3 colors of horns, like 4 styles of horns and your choice of braids, long braids, looped braids, or no braids! Why can't we have war paint or piercings or something interesting.

How to buy cheap Unclaimed Black Market Containers

2013-06-17T12:41:00.002-05:00

As most of you know those containers can cost quite a bit of gold on some busy servers and since almost all people buy these containers for mounts/pets why not buy them on a quiet server?

Mounts/pets are all bind on account so it doesn't matter on what server you learn them.
So this guide is mostly about getting your gold to that lowpop server without much efford.

Step 1:
Buy minipets like pandaren earth/fire/water/air spirit or mountain/snowy/sunfur panda on your own busy server and learn them.

Step 2:
Make a new char on a quiet server with low BMAH prices and a working AH, make sure to check the AH to see if it's not to quiet since you need to sell some things here.
check both horde/ally to see where you have the best chance.

Step 3:
Cage all the pets you just bought and learned on your highpop server and sell them on your new server.
Since there's not that many ppl doing those daily's on quiet servers you can sell those pets for quite a bit more that on your highpop realm.

Step 4:
Make an other char on that lowpopserver and get a summon/portal to pandaria and park him at the BMAH and you're all done

There's also a few other pets you can do this with so just try and see what works for you.

On the server i do this on i can easilly sell one pet for 2k each and Unclaimed Black Market containers will go for 10-15K over there.

The worst thing that can happen is that you get one of the rare mounts out of your container and you have to lvl your char up to lvl40-60 to learn it.

Hope it helps for some of you out there on highpop realms

How to level Battle Pets real fast!

2013-06-14T09:33:00.001-05:00

This is for leveling your battle-pets and NOT your alts!

I've been using this method (How to get 14m Exp/Hour 85-90 [Video])
to level my alts but now i've realized that you can level your pets real fast without waiting 1. minute before leaving with your 2nd account

Choose a combo with 2x lvl25 and 1pet you wanna level -> eg 25/25/2 on both accs (acc1 = level pet // acc2 = forfeit acc)
Queue with both accounts and accept
Dont chose any pet with both accs
Leave with acc2
Gain ~1k exp within seconds

Im using following macros:

Queue for Battle: /script C_PetBattles.StartPVPMatchmaking()
Accept Battle: /script PetBattleQueueReadyFrame.AcceptButton:Click()
Forfeit: /run C_PetBattles.ForfeitGame()

Use Hotkeys like "F1/F2/F3" so you can press em infight

Easy ~500g for 5 min work on your characters daily

2013-06-13T15:31:00.000-05:00

What i'm talking about is your farm at Halfhill in Valley of the four winds.

Many have forgotten the use of this, and also haven't payed attention to the new seeds that's been introduced since release.

The ones i'm gonna be talking about it the Enigma seeds and Bag of enigma seeds. These seeds bloom and become MOP herbs, INCLUDING golden lotus. Wowhead say the chance of getting one is roughly 12%, though from personal experience over the last couple of weeks, i'd say it's about 25%, meaning if you plant 16 a day, you'll net an average of 4 golden lotuses per day, in addition to ~2 stacks of random herbs.
They can then be sold raw, or further processed for flasks, and other consumable, not only netting you more gold, but also serves your raiding needs if that's what you're interested in. I usually net around 500g a day, per char by doing so. Note prices may vary depending on you server.

As mentioned in the title it take about 5 minutes a day to harvest, plant and tend to the crops per character, which is little considered it's outcome, so what i'm doing is having 5 characters at Halfhill harvesting every day. This is where you might say "but i don't have 5 characters with 16 tiles at Halfhill". Fear not. It's incredibly easy and incredibly fast to earn the reputation to grow your farm. Below you'll find a little simplified guide to the expansion of your farm

Note: Expanding can only be done at lvl 90

Neutral -> Honored (1 day)

1: Complete all your quests with farmer Yoon at Halfhill. This should take your reputation close to honored if you have to 100% rep gain, you can buy when you hit revered with any character.
2: Plant any 4 crops the first day

Honored -> Revered (~3 days)

3: Harvest your crops. This should take you to honored.
4: Farmer Yoon will give you a quest called Growing the Farm I: The Weeds
5: Complete the small quest line (2 quests) and head back to your farm. Note you get a 15 minute buff when you return. You need to wait for the duration before your farm is expanded. You can't log out to skip the duration.
6: Plant any 8 crops
7: Keep harvesting and planting crops till you hit revered

Revered -> exalted (1-2 weeks)

1: When revered farmer Yoon will give you a quest called Growing the Farm II: The Broken Wagon.
9: Repeat step 5
10: You now have 12 tiles and can start to plant Enigma seeds. You should do this until exalted, and beyond.

Exalted

11: When exalted farmer Yoon wil give you a quest called Growing the Farm III: The Mossy Boulder
12: Repeat step 5

You now have a 16 tile farm, with access to your seeds.

NB: Reputation gain can be increased by doing the dailies at Halfhill if you can arsed

This process can be doing with Snakeroot seeds, which grants ores instead of herbs. You'd usually get around 15 random trillium ores and a stack of ghost iron a day using these.

Hopefully some of you found this usually. Happy farming ^^

Sell some additional flasks.

2013-06-12T15:45:00.000-05:00

Today i'm going to tell you my trick that has gotten me some gold over the few weeks depending on server prices and activity.

Here what you want to do:

Go to the Ah and look at the flask section. mostly there are about 3-8 flasks of each on the ah. Buy them all and repost them for like 50% more.
Here comes the trick now you just spam trade/lfg with something like "LFM Throne of the Thunder 25 iLvL 480 req. Also gears needs to be fully enchanted and gemmed. And bring flasks." or be original and make something up yourself.
And see your flasks get sold.

Additional tips:

Try not to put the flasks on the AH with the same character you spam trade with they may get suspicious.
-This can also be done for profit on gems and enchants.
-Be creative and friendly. sweet lemonade sells better then sour

Blizzards new desktop application - useless or useless?

2013-06-12T14:43:00.001-05:00

I remember the first day. Well, not the first first day, but those days you'd toss a floppy in and run the game. Simple as that. Of course, as the industry (read: underground communities) grew, so did their needs. Next step was to install games. Now, back then, many people thought "What the hell, it's 2 extra clicks, might as well do it". But this step enabled game publishers to push any type of terribleware they wanted on your PC.

From useless stuff, like changing your homepage or adding a "Try X 30 days for free" to your desktop, to GameSpy Arcade which was required for online play. Back then, online play was Holy Grail, not many people had internet and not many people would pay for bandwidth to game online, we had LAN for that.

After installations came launchers. Now, we're still in the clear here, it's just 1 extra step on top of other 20 you have to do, in order to install the game, and well it checks for updates and all the good stuff. Useless, sure, many people liked simply clicking the exe and running the game, but what the hell, it's a new trend. And then they killed it.

Enter platforms. Steam, Origin, Raptr, NCSoft Launcher.. You name it, they made it. These types of software introduced a whole new level of uselessness, especially Steam. It wasn't working quite right for a long period of time, it wasn't optimized, it wasn't stable, but you had no choice. Wanna play Counter Strike? You have to run Steam. Not sure at which point all ...

Super easy rugged leather!!

2013-06-11T16:50:00.000-05:00

For this, you need to be skinner ( doh )

The mobs we are killing is: Onyxian Warder - NPC - World of Warcraft

There are 4 of them on the way into onyxia lair. When you skin them, they give all from 12-20 RUGGED LEATHER each time! Wtf thats amazing!

You can reset the instance, and kill them again for the leather loots.. And when you bypassed the 5 instance limit, you can simply just go on another toon meanwhile!

At my server, rugged leather is around 100g each stack. So its pretty good money with very little efford.

Sometimes, you also get rugged hide, but its rare.

This is very best if you're horde, so you can just fly and and fourth to Orgrimmar as its very close

or if you are alli, you can use portal to theremore

To those of us who sneak a heroic in at work.

My job permits to me play WoW between 20-30 of my 40 working hours a week. Because I play over a 4g smart phone connection, I can't reliably raid or do arenas, and if I join battlegrounds my ping skyrockets. I'll admit being able to quest and do dailies at work is quite a sweet deal, but remember that I'm still AT WORK, so I occasionally get stuck leaving at a moments notice.

I guess the only thing that legitimately makes it not so great is that when I get home, because I've been playing at work, I get bored easily. I never really enjoy playing at home, where I'm actually comfortable and play goes uninterrupted. That seems like a stupid thing to complain about, but I work 3-11pm and usually stay up until 7am, so there isn't much else to do during the wee hours.

Go play outside! It's a beautiful day!

2013-06-10T18:45:00.000-05:00

Playing WoW outside seems like the most depressing thing to me. You'll be roaming the beautiful peninsula of hellfire, or roaming the landscape of mulgore, when you look up and see the nice day outside. The contrast between the virtual and real world would drive me crazy.

I used to have friends come over and play under my gazebo with 6 computers hooked up to play all night. Those were great times. Now that I think about it, the first time I played WoW was outside at night. Epic feeling walking into Stormwind for the first time.

TIL The new Superman (Henry Cavill) missed the call from Zack Snyder about receiving the Man of Steel role because he was raiding.

2013-06-10T16:43:00.000-05:00

I bet he plays a Paladin. Superman would absolutely play a Paladin.

I wish girls would yell with excitement like that when I told them I play WoW... Then again I feel like the kind of girls who would go to Jay Leno to hear a Cavill interview are slightly different than the kind of girls you probably talk to on a daily basis. Plus, it's Cavill. He could probably say just about anything and get that reaction. also Leno is such a dumbass. Notice how he immediately goes for a "and all the girls go awww because their boyfriends play" joke immediately after a huge high pitched clearly-female positive reaction from the audience when WoW is mentioned. Idiot. Cavil seems cool though.

That is what I am telling for years. I went AFK because Zack Snyder keep calling!

Leveling 85 - 90. About 30min Per level If you are RESTED

2013-06-10T15:31:00.000-05:00

In a world were everyone is hyping Monkey runs I thought Id share my personal fast leveling place In World of Warcraft. It Works fine as of right now as I just helped a pal out today. He was rested 87 to half 90. We did it in 1h 40min.

Wall of Text Incoming.

I have leveled this way on 3 characters. I boosted 2 friends myself while I got boosted on 1 of my characters once.

We pulled about 1 level in 1H 20min non rested (1% per minute) and 30min per level Rested.
Note: Ive never tried this on level 85 but it works fine from level 86 to 90, Im pretty confident it works on 85 too.

(Important) What do I need to do this ?

Other than the character ure leveling u need another player. I dont think this is effective if u play both character, at least it will not go as fast.

The other player needs to be level 90 and tank specced with pretty good gear. (Something else might work aswell but I have never tried it)
The level 90 Character needs to be able to fly in MoP and own a 2 Seat Flying Mount. (It acctualy works without but it will not go nowere near as fast)

The leveling character, Im pretty sure it works for any class, U will need abit of Surivability. If u got a character that can easily pull mobs on range (with a spell like Ice Lance) It will help alot more.

So what is this and where is it?

Mob Tagging and the location is Townlong Steppes.

Mob Tagging? What is that?
The player that is leveling are pulling mobs tagging them, while another premade character kills them for u while not being in a party

Here is what the locations looks like

The red Squares marks the main zones you are going to fly between using a 2 seat flying mount.

The top red square is the spawn with the mobs called Shan'ze Obliterator.
The below red square marks the zone with mobs called Shan'ze Stonebender

So what now?

1. Start with the top square since that spawn is the biggest. Dont be in a party together. The player that are here for experience starts off tagging mobs while the other player taunts when the leveling player has got tag on it.

If the level 90 is a tank u can easily pull all of them and tank them. The dmg is not intense but u will need to use CDs the worse gear u have. (I have tanked all of them with a DK tank in full 476 PvP Gear, just remember cooldowns)

Note: Myself I have done this with a DK Tank. I was boosted by a Warrior and Paladin Tank and all of them works fine. Warrior can survive with Second Wind, the paladin was just incredibly OP

The mobs themselves doesnt really do anything at all. Its just tank n spank

2. When u have cleared the top spawn. Go into party together so the leveler can sit on your flying mount. Fly to the south red Square.
Do the exact same thing here. Dont be in a grp. Let the leveler pull the mobs, the level 90 taunts them off when they are tagged and kills them ofc. These mobs are just tank n spank aswell. They do Shadow bolts from time to time so if u get CDs against spells its a good time to use them here.

3. When u have cleared the south spawn, Grp up and fly North and repeat 1.

-Extra Stuff that will make it go even faster-

At both spawns there is also a spawn on a rare mob. They are both on about 1h respawn timer.

The south red square got a rare called Norlaxx. Its very easy and can easily be pulled with the rest. The only important part on it is not to stand in the Voidcloud ability he does on the ground. Otherwise its tank n spank

The north red Square contains a rare called Kah'tir. The only important part of this mob is his Arc Cleave. Its very easy to see (Like last boss in MSV but easier). Dont stand in it.

As u can see I also marked a blue square on the map. It contains an additonal Rare that u might wanna pick up when ure flying between the spots for some extra exp.
Its called Lon the Bull and its just tank n spank fight.

Both the players doing this should be in the same guild aswell. Both players should have Battle Standard of Coordination and Standard Of Unity in their bags aswell.
The Standard works even if u arent in a group.

To benefit most from them u should have 1 player put up the epic banner when ure first pulling the north spawn. The same player uses his blue one on the south after.
Then the other player uses his Epic when u get back to the north spawn again and so on.
Myself Ive never had a spawn were we didnt have a banner up this way.

If ure leveling as a Monk, remember to pick up the Enlightment Buff.

Edit: I forgot to add that when ure at the north spawn. Dont bother with the quest mob called The Blade. He doesnt give any experience.

BlizzCon 2013 Movie and Original Art Contest - Are You Good Enough?

2013-06-10T14:20:00.002-05:00

Another year, another BlizzCon and yet another art contest! During this year BlizzCon, artist from around the world will be able to take part in 2 different art competitions: BlizzCon 2013 Movie Contest and BlizzCon® 2013 Original Art Contest. To participate in either of contests you will have to submit an original art (Photoshop manipulations does not count!) or a short (up to 3 minutes) movie featuring one of the following Blizzard universes: World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft or Blizzard All Stars.

As you can probably imagine, competition on this kind of contest is going to be enormous, which probably makes you all wonder if it's actually worth spending hours (or days?) on some original Art or/and a movie? Well, that depends mostly on how good you think you are, however the prizes for this year art contests are undeniably very tempting!

First place winner in Movie Contest will be awarded with $2,000, Oswald Statue, and ticket do BlizzCon 2013. Second place will also get BlizzCon ticket + $1,000 and the third place will receive BlizzCon ticket + $700.

As you've probably expected, prizes in Original Art Contest are bit lower (but still very tempting!)
Winners in drawing contest will get: $1,500 and BlizzCon 2013 tickets for the first place, $1,000 + tickets for the second place and $700 + tickets for the third place.

As you can see Prizes are actually very nice (at least for those of us who haven't made tons of money with latest WoW Dupe Exploit), but everyone else will most likely consider it a pretty big amount of cash, especially as for few hours / days of work!

To see what kind of skill level is required (or maybe just to search for some inspiration), you can check one of the videos and images containing work of previous winners:

Do you think it's worth trying to reach for these awesome prizes? or maybe there's simply too much competition to even try? make sure to let us know what do you think about it in comments below!

Easy way killing legendaries battles pets

2013-06-09T13:26:00.001-05:00

How easily beat legendaries pets and get red panda / achievment.

Legendaries battles pets own hard us pets. So it's take many try to make them down.

Some pet with 'invulnerable turn protection' like :

When your pet is flying during one turn.
When your pet is under-swimming or under-flooring.
Repair.
Survival.
Undead pets. Rez one time.
Mechanical pets. Rez with 20% life.
Magics. Can get damaged more 40% lifes per turn.

And the great : - Phoenix. He rez full life =)

So in fact u have to do that.

Launch Apocalypse.
Change your beattle because (HE MUST BE ALIVE TO APOCALYPSE WORK).
Use some survival capacity or tanking pet.
APOCALYPSE NOW !
Enjoy tiny cute red panda

World of Warcraft Flexible Raids - Even More Noob Friendly?

2013-06-09T10:27:00.001-05:00

As we all now, raids in World of Warcraft have been slowly nerfed for many years now. First the number of players required for a raid has been reduced to 25, which obviously made things easier for less experienced players who didn't know how to operate in large groups. Next we got Raid Finder allowing players with very little experience to beat all raid bosses even if a few of them are completely afk, but apparently, that's still not enough.

With the upcoming WoW patch 5.4 Blizzard is planning to implement new feature called Flexible Raids. The idea behind flexible raids is to allow a group of players (either guild mates, random people or Real I.D. friends) to party up in a group of 10-25 players and enter a raid placed somewhere between Raid Finder and Normal difficulty. Unlike in Raid Finder, players will have to invite others to the raid group by themselves.

Another significant change is the number of players needed for raid, in Flexible Raids your group won't have to be exactly 10 or exactly 25 players large - you can do it in 11, 14, 18, 22 number of players, or anywhere in between 10 and 25. Raid difficulty will be scaled automatically every time someone joins or leaves your party.

As Nethaera (author of the post) has announced, they want to give more social experience to the players, which basically means more chats in the middle of fights, more time to eat a sandwich, or even watch some TV during the raid.

So the question is, does this actually makes any sense? Players that are already slacking in raid finder, will slack even more, so wipes will most likely happen even in Flexible Raids. Players who are actually trying to contribute to the fight will only get more annoyed, which is also already happening in Random Raider. However, allowing people to continue a raid without having a full group might force people to try their best or they'll get kicked.

What do you think, are Flexible Raids completely useless idea, or does it actually makes some sense and might they be usable for casuals? Make sure to voice your opinion in comments below!

Transmogrification: It ain't easy being green!

2013-06-06T14:54:00.000-05:00

Discovered this set uses the same colors as the goblin skin tones, which equals a cool "barely there" transmog set! Most of the set is the Nocturnal Garb recolor, with Forest Leather Mantle and a pair of Pulse Daggers. Really simple set, I know, but I thought the skin tone thing turned out pretty nicely!

Is this the loudest fired Blizzard employee ever?

2013-06-06T13:49:00.003-05:00

Unnamed Blizzard employee, who was terminated last year from Blizzard in Irvine & Austin, did an AMA (ask me anything) on reddit last night. He'd spent last 6 years of his life serving Azeroth, and while technically still under NDA, he wasn't very shy about answering the questions. Even though the community at reddit asked more of a "legal" and "general knowledge" type of questions, they still managed to shed some light on Blizzards misconceptions and methods. This AMA revealed to us that indeed Blizzard still isn't on-point about gold selling, and that there is some major friction between GMs and developers. It also revealed our ex-GM, who calls himself "BlizzardThrowaway" is in fact a Horde and PVP fanboi. Here are the most interesting questions that got an answer, as well as some non-sense ones:

Question: Are you happy with the direction Blizzard is taking with World Of Warcraft?
Answer: Honestly I never really cared about WoW too much, but since I actually just started playing again in over a year, I have seen the many changes they've made to it and I'm overall pretty impressed. Coming from the internal side of things and knowing how many issues we had to deal with as GMs with the old game, it's great to see how automated a lot of the issues have become. I like that players are now able to solve most of their issues themselves. I still feel like most of the issues lie within the GM department, though.

Since our friend claims here worked as a Game Master, Tech Support and then in QA, this question was expected, but reveals how GMs are really treated by Blizzard.

Question: Of the three job titles, which one did you have the most fun performing?
Answer: QA without a doubt. It was like night and day compared to being a GM. The atmosphere was more relaxed and I felt like I was treated like a human being rather than another "number".

Like all the other mortals, our GM here got jokes!

Question: May I hear one of the highly revered game master jokes?
Answer: How many GM's does it take to change a light bulb? None, it's working as intended.

Queston: Tell us what you know about Titan. Come on.
Answer: Well it's been a while since I've heard anything, but I will say that if it goes how they were explaining it to us during our Show & Tells, then it's going to be pretty ****ing badass, and may even kill, or slightly hinder WoW. It's that sweet of an idea. Let's just hope they don't **** it up. >_>
Answer 2: I will say that it's something you haven't seen from Blizzard before. A different direction in gaming style.
Question update: They've said that before, though. Give us some love here, son.
Answer 3: I caaaaan't. Blizzard likes to sue people.

Question: Where does the auction house cut go?
Answer: Good question. No ****ing idea.

Question: I think I gave them a perfect score everywhere on the little survey that they prompted us to fill in after each intervention. Thanks for the answer, and thanks for doing this AMA!
Answer: No prob! Also, a thing to note about that scoring system...it's pretty ****ed up on the internal side. For example: Let's say you really liked your GM, but weren't TOTALLY satisfied enough to give the experience all 5's, so instead you give them all 4's, or maybe some 4's and 5's. Well GMs are graded on how many "perfect survey scores" they get, and are rated with a 1 or 0 point system. Basically if you get all 5's, you get 1 point, and anything else is a 0. Pretty ****ed up right? Well if you get too low of an average score per quarter, you have the potential to lose your job. Yeah...and they think this is an improved rating system.

Prepare your palms and faces everyone, here's the big one!

Question: Did you ever busted any people using bots or gold sellers? If so how you dealt with them?
Answer: Oh yeah all the time as a GM. That was the best part, IMO. With bots you would get a report from a player, hop on the game to check it out, and get a Senior to visually confirm that it was a bot and then slam them with the ban hammer. Same thing went for gold sellers. Those were even more fun because gold sellers got their gold from compromising someone's account, taking all their shit and selling it, then taking the gold and selling it to other players. What we would do is follow the gold trail, through logs, and take back any gold, or items purchased with said gold, and recover it to restore back to the compromised player. Then we would give a nice fat action to the sellers account, which would usually result in them getting the boot.
That's what I think people who buy WoW gold never understood. The gold didn't come from Chinese farmers just using bots all day to get gold. No, it came from Chinese hackers who hacked people's accounts, stripped their character clean, and then sold the gold to you online at a profit. Shitty.
Answer 2: Oh yeah reports helped a ton because we were never really in game the majority of the time, so there was no real way of knowing who was botting or being a dick unless someone reported it to us. Believe me, banning people like that was our favorite thing to do, so we loved getting those reports lol.

Question: What's your/Blizzard's stance on them, though? (private WoW servers)
Answer: We don't approve, but aren't going to really do anything about it.

So you are in the clear! No Blizzard lawyers knocking on your door anytime soon, at least according to our friend here, who seems to share the opinnion that all gold for sale is hacked. Nevertheless, he did reveal some interesting facts we probably didn't know about Blizzard, working for them and all the teams involved. During the AMA, it was also reveal how big Street Fighter is for the QA/CS teams. We all know where that is going!

So, what do you think about this AMA? Has it revealed something you really needed to know or did he just share general knowledge with some sweet, but not important, inside info?

Darkmoon Faire quick gold (Not alot, but still)

2013-06-04T16:16:00.000-05:00

We found a trick which can be used on Darkmoon faire.

Basicly what you have to do is this:

Turn Auto loot off.
Play some games and get [Darkmoon Game Prize] from the dailies.
After you got some, let's say around 5,Open them one by one.

Here comes the good part. They have a chance to contain pets/maybe a mount or w/e. You are going to right click open them,then remove any "nice rewards" and then click on the X button.

By doing that the rest of the useless rewards will stay in.

Now all you gotta do is spam that you sell em. We manage to sell 5 yesterday for 150g each.So 750g with no work involved . The cool part is that i got plenty of whispers.(The ammount you gonna sell also depends on how your server's population is.)

TL;DR : play games get boxes remove the goods from them, sell them by leaving one thing like the sandbox toy or w/e.

Happy gold making

Blizzard finally giving us more bag space?

2013-06-03T14:15:00.000-05:00

Has it ever occurred to you that your bags, bank and Void Storage were full? Has it ever happen that you had to delete your soulbound items simply because you couldn't squeeze any more of them into your storage? -probably yes. This has been a very common issue since the origins of World of Warcraft, especially for hardcore raiders who like to collect their Epic loot.

To help players get their bank and bags clean again, Blizzard gave us Void Storage in last expansion, which allows you to store old epic items usable for transmogrification. For the very same reason mounts were turned into a menu, instead of wasting our precious bag space, but sadly that's still not enough. With Mists of Pandaria expansion, we got tons of collectible, soulbound items like Puntable Marmot, Turnip Punching Bag or Shushen's Spittoon. It sure is nice to have them, and throw on the ground for fun form time to time, but they also consume a lot of bag space.

Low bag space issue in World of Warcraft has been recently addressed on official Blizzard forums, by user named Rossalyn. One of his suggestions to resolve this problem was turning tabards (and possibly other items) into "keyring" like menus, or the one similar to mount menu in WoW, which actually seems like a very good idea. Luckily his request has not been left unheard - moderator named Bashiok have replied to his thread, and by this unofficially confirmed that Blizzard is currently working on "cleaning" bags from items that not necessary have to be there.

Adding more space to put more stuff isn't a solution, it's just delaying the problem, and usually not by much. We've been talking about (and even telling all y'all) that solving the storage problem is something we've set our sights on. Of course I'm not going to make an announcement here so no specifics to share yet, or when that relief may surface, but it is something we want to tackle asap.

By looking at Bashik's post, we can clearly tell that Blizzard won't be extending bags, bank or void storage space, but instead they will most likely focus on making some of our items available under certain menus, like previously mentioned "keyrings" for quest items, or mount / battle pet menu. As Bashiok also mentioned, Blizzard want to deal with this "asap", which means we can probably expect improvements on bag space within next few weeks.

Tabards as "keyrings"? quest items visible only in questlog? or maybe even epic sets made into a menu similar to the one with our mounts, available for all characters on your account? These are the only few of ideas posted by players on Blizzard forum, but there's still many more possibilities left, that probably haven't been mentioned yet.
Make sure to let us know in comments below how you would like to fix low bag space issue!
