So true. They need to buff the drop rate on these. I've gotten 1 since they "buffed" it.

I remember one time in BC I was raiding the Black Temple with my guild. We were in a playful mood that night so it was going really fun, and we were progressing and killing bosses. The boss in question was Shade of Akama. However the prank, was regarding the trash before Shade. An abnormally large time passed by before someone in vent said "that'd be amazing, let's do it". Next thing I know I've got the misdirect 'buff' and then I've got the trash chasing after me. As a warlock in the raid, I lasted for 2 hits. It was pretty funny nonetheless and we all had a good laugh about it.

/facepalm
Way to go blizz.

Actually, I've been getting a bit of that text spam on my cell as well. I've never bought gold or anything...never given my cell number out. Any ways to stop this would be great.

Yep. It's bad. But perhaps you should look at other professions. Let's look at tailoring in particular as this is one I have personal experience with. Our good cloths are on a 4 day cooldown. I'd say the pain between Jewelcrafting and Tailoring is equivalent but we can't forget the other professions like the aforementioned Alchemy and Inscription and whatever-else I'm forgetting. It's not only Jewelcrafting that has these time issues.

QQ moar. Seriously: it's a BETA TEST. All of these things are expected. Why don't you use the test to do what you're supposed to do with it: test the game. Not play the game because you'll just have to do that again once it's released. Also, please stop putting out these useless filler articles and give us the news you used to give us.

Once again: old news is old. I'm finding more and more these days that WoWInsider has no new news so just rewords old news. Please return to your former glory.

Old news is old.

Hmm, wow....not that I think of it I've missed very few instances. When I was leveling I tried to hit up each instance at least once for the lore aspect; also just to say "I did it". The one's I've missed on my main at the appropriate level are: Deadmines, The Stockade (you try that at 25), Gnomeregan, pretty much all of Blackrock Mountain since noone wanted to run those, Stratholme, a large portion of Dire Maul, and all the level 60 raids.

I think the main reason that these were missed is because I couldn't find a group to go through them with. It would either be a group at the very bottom of the level span or nothing at all.

Yay Guild Wars. This is my first "MMO" and at points in my WoW career I've missed it. It has style, a strong storyline, and goes more on skill rather than gear. Downsides are that alot of the skills seem variations of other skills and the lack of new content. This was, in fact, the main reason I left GW. Can't wait for GW2.
