I'm stoked about starting this quest, and plan to do it very slowly and savor every word of the questgivers.<br /><br />This item has undoubtedly been a rousing success in WotLK.<br /><br />How about more drops like that for soloing elites? Icecrown would have been a great place for that. maybe an achievement for soloing all the different IC elites would give you a new questline.<br /><br />And these kind of things can be released slowly over an expansion to maintain interest.Bristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849907713604626977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801344413612447717.post-71958825303763491012010-10-18T16:37:50.994+02:002010-10-18T16:37:50.994+02:00My rogue, but a wee lvl 74, has just managed to sn...My rogue, but a wee lvl 74, has just managed to sneak her way thru Sholazzar Basin (no big deal), up the Avalanche there (edge of the seat stealthing), and up into Icecrown.<br /><br />She's slowly making her way to the Tournament Grounds ... a lvl 74 sneaking past lvl 80 mobs, where even stealth is next to worthless. <br /><br />Haven't died yet but came within 5% before I managed to hit vanish etc.<br /><br />I totally agree that <a href="http://moo-tang-clan.blogspot.com/2008/11/flying-over-content-such-waste.html" rel="nofollow">Icecrown was a squandered opportunity</a>.Garumoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729693136868673971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801344413612447717.post-82033346354331540812010-10-17T15:42:07.401+02:002010-10-17T15:42:07.401+02:00Do you know the name of your items nowadays?

I can just about remember the name of my character's weapons, but that's it. Probably because weapons are one of the few things that you still can't buy from a vendor. Kind of sad.<br /><br /><i>I consider small random chances for loot a very valuable tool. It feels much less grindy than predictable 'points'. I don't necessarily like the carrot to dangle in front of my eyes all the time.</i><br /><br />I agree with this too. I remember when bages were first introduced they were meant as a sort of "consolation prize" so you didn't feel like you got shafted if you were consistently unlucky with loot drops and could at least buy something else with them. Nowadays nobody cares about the drops but instead almost all gear is bought with emblems... why did this happen?Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.com
