MoP

Remind me tonight to get the WOW Annual Pass (AP).

Consider you get a free D3 ($60) and free mount ($10), that leaves $80 for 12 months of WOW.  Bonus!

Now, how do I feel about Pandaren?  My initial reaction was ... OMGreally in a befuddled kind of way, but after seeing them in action, I have to say -- they look good!  And the MoP areas look awesome too!

What I see going forward in WOW from this expansion:
* B would like to get rid of factions and faction based classes
* B will focus on crazy new content (like pokemon and new talents) since the old RPG guys have left.
* B will experiment with more swag like RTM and other stuff, as it will be testing for Titan
* It's all about Titan Titan Titan!

Daily Wish List

The Bag of Exotic Mysteries for desperately needed classes will now just contain 400-500 JP.

Hmm

What this post really makes me think is...

Do I need gold?

If so, how much?

And would selling these pets really work?

Wishlist: new mechanic

Let's face it.  They just need to rework the loot tables for 4.3, so that:

Regulars drop 365 gear
Heroics drop 378 gear
4.3 Raids drop 391+ gear

I determined that focusing on what I want/do not want is inefficient as both things are possible with enough time.

Instead, better to focus on what I can and cannot do:

* I can level alts
* I can dress my alts in an array of neat gear
* I can get achievements and world event achieves

* I cannot succeed at raiding
* I cannot get the coolest tier gear from raiding (to dress my alts)
* I cannot get the coolest gear from arenas and battlegrounds

While those lists look balanced, its clear to me that the "can" list are low skill/low effort and the "cannot" list is extremely high skill/high effort. If you look at it from the opposite side, you might guess (rightly) that only a small percent of people are doing the second list and lots of people are on the first list.  When analyzed that way, it would say that a majority of casuals are supporting or carrying the hardcores.  Now, I don't mind carrying some hardcores but it really doesn't help me achieve my own goal of "getting neat shiz to wear for my alts."

TLDR: Wishlist --
* All bosses will drop a transmog token that will let you pick any tier piece you wish.

* In preparation for patch 4.3, all 359 and below items will now cost 500 JP and will stay at that price until 4.4.
