Its only a short term fix to something that can be solved by simply going out and farm it yourself. When AQ and naxx release you will need other elementals, that does not have a transmute. are you going to cry for elysium to create unblizzlike transmutes for those as well? The fix is already in the game, its called dynamic respawns, meaning that you already got elemental spawns that fit your increased population Its only people farming and taking advantage of other peoples lazyness that create these kind of prices for the pots.

Thats true. But thats the same with every prot potion in vanilla with the exception of shadow on loatheb. Everyone will still use them on cd to help out to reduce the damage. With the exception of healers who will pop mana potion instead.

You obviously havent done the 2 last bosses in naxx then. Massive frost damage on both bosses, in addition to healers wearing frost res gear so they have gimped stats on sapphiron. Kel'tthuzad spamming ice blocks and frostbolt volley. Yes you need frost protection pots. Maybe less of them when bosses are on farm than on loatheb, but on progress you need a lot of them

But that is a herb with an already increased spawnrate, and not a elemental which this discussion is about. And shadowprot and frost prot are equal in naxx. Need both for one boss each popped on cd. So the amount of pots needed should be equal (depending on how long you spend progressing of course) Edit: frost pots are needed on 2 bosses, so you will need a lot more frost

Hudson is just providing you with a blizzlike experience. Blazzard staff back then would tell you that this is noone but your own fails as well, until the coorperate world started to strangle the CMs because they didnt wanna risk losing the casual singleplayer crowd that came with the success of this game. Now that is a financial good decision, but these guys dont earn money so you can expect to get told that you are stupid when you are stupid.

There are changes to t2 on 1.4/1.5 then again on 1.6 and a few sets get their final change at 1.9 At least it was like that on darrowshire, but there was a lot of wrong changes going on on nostalrius with bugged t2 stats getting changed back and forth

Great, the bug report doesnt seem to be entirely correct, but the fix explanation is in line with my research

That was what i thought as well, but it currently does not work like that, my research was on how it worked right now. Is there a bugreport on that? think someone mentioned earlier in this thread that there was a fix up on github?

Did another test just now. 200 renews (not big enough amount to get a exact procrate, but from my test results i didnt really need a bigger one) 200 Renews or 1000 ticks of renew 0 Procs from the initial cast 4 procs from ticks (All procs happening on the first tick of a renew) 0 procs from ticks after the first Conclusion: Only the first tick of a renew has a chance to proc it and it needs to restore some health for it to proc. The procrate seems correct So Xadaver is partly correct. (It doest seem to proc on the initial cast) Now, i dunno if the trinket is supposed to proc from the remaining renew ticks, but if not, this trinket is working as intended. Would love if anyone could provide some sources wether it's supposed to or not though.

That must have been a recent fix? I did close to 500 renews in my test a month ago, and didnt get a single proc. Do your proc from the initial cast or renew ticks? It did not proc from dispells either. My only instant cast that ever saw a proc was holy nova.

If you up the drop of one elemental, you will be back again next year whining about elemental earth, and then water when naxx come. I guess your server got dynamic respawns on mobs, so you already got your fix. Put some effort in and go farm them instead of whining on a forum cause you dont want to spend a few hours farming a luxury item thats not really needed at all.

From my testing, it does not proc off instant casts, with the exception of direct damage instants like holy nova. I dont know if that is blizzlike or not, but it not proccing of hots and dispels reduces its value a lot

If you want close to blizzlike, consider playing on a realm with a blizzlike population. And its not like these things are really needed anyway. Having a well spread out raid can negate like 10x the amount the potion does. The elemental fires that drop in mc is by far enough to supply your tanks and a few essential members with these potions. Maybe use them instead of filling up the gbank

Those changes was made to account for the unblizzlike population. More herbs was needed. and the farming methods i do not really agree with, but i understand why its going to be needed. a massive population that farm gold straight out of the world causes massive inflation, which then causes pretty much every item to increase in price. which then will turn away newer players for a server cause they can't seem to afford buying anything without leveling a alt mage to farm. As for Duki's reply, lay off the boose mate.

Though, also keep in mind that as more raids release, thus more time you need to spend. In vanilla, raids are still relevant even after a new tier releases. Due to a few really good items, you would still want to raid Mc and BWL even when naxx is released Mc drop thunderfury, and the more tanks who got it thus better. Bwl drop trinkets that are bis all troughout vanilla. So unless you got really lucky and your entire guild got all the items they need, you will still want to clear it.

So you would rather be ignored than getting a useful tip then? And addons is 100% accetable, Blizzard GM's have suggested addons in the past for spesific problems Just because YOU don't like them doesnt mean they are abusing a flaw in the system, the addons who were abusing something, usually got disabled by blizzard during patches, Aux kind of addons never were banned by blizzard and they are used by a lot of players on retail to this day.

Blizzard has always let the AH live on its own, it is not against the rules to post items at a high price The GM here gave you a very helpfull tip on how to work around the overpriced stuff, while blizzard GM's would just ignore you. Edit: Not buying his items are the only way to stop it, cause then there would be no point in him putting all these overpriced stuff on the AH, but then again, people are lazy and cba to go trough several pages to get the cheap ones, so they buy the overpriced one making him keep doing this. Noone to blame here but the people who buy his overpriced stuff.

What good would a merge do for anything? when people don't wanna do certain instances, no matter how many extra people you add to it, only a very small percentage of players would be interested in going there. Merging Darrowshire with any other realm would loose this project between 5-8k players due to having no PvE option. i think that having those players are more valuable than you finding a group to a horrible dungeon in a timely fashion.

Wifeagro is a good reason for me as well, though she lets me raid 2 days a week and play a few hours on regular days, so im probabaly one of the lucky ones in that regard :-D

We use a Feral druid as our 3rd / 4th tank, works like a charm, and can do more dps than dps warriors in tank gear when not being the active tank, and he's not hard to heal.

If you read my post you would know

Namechange was only possible by purchasing a server transfer in late vanilla. By creating a char on the target server with the same name as the char that you are gonna transfer. The paid namechange came in tbc (or maybe as late as wotlk dont remember exact) And since server transfer is not gonna happen with the exception of ZK closing down, you need to stick with your name or simply create a new char

Everyone love a healer

I don't play on Anathema, but Darrowshire is the next server to get AQ, so i'll voice my opinion on the matter. Stick the the original plan, 6 players can get it if it's done before 3 weeks, since people gave up on doing this because of the limitation. What you were afraid of is what happened on Kronos, where they delayed this event for ages so that as many people as possible could get this mount That would be fixed by just setting the limit to 3 weeks or only the first guy could get it. What you should do with Darrowshire, is that you keep the 3 week limit, and the BoP fragments, and that you can only start it after the war effort is completed, but you let everyone that bothered to farm it get it. Due to BoP fragments, the person that are getting it will have to be present on the farming to get it, and it needs to be done within the 3 week limit. that means that the mount will still be very rare and there is a lot of work to be done to get it. As for the opening event, sure it is cool, but should just open the gates as they are able to, keep that blizzlike, everyone that care about this even will make sure they are online to see it since it goes on for 10 hours (maybe you could just increase the time the event goes on instead)

Biggest factor may be what dungeons you are looking for. Most people dont bother with dungeons like Gnomeregan, Maraudon and sunken temple (Rfd and Rfk if you are alliance) Because they are not really worth doing cause you could get more xp just doing other stuff, as well as being very time consuming.
