WoW: Good and bad, and RP

The good: While this is sad news to some, I can't say I'm unhappy at all: The Obsidium shuffle will no longer work in the coming patch. I'm breaking my "don't talk about goldmaking tricks" since this one will be vanishing. Since cut green gems sell to the vendor for 9 gold, all you had to do is buy Obsidium or Elementium below "5 ore for 9 gold" and you'd make 100% risk free profit. As often times you'd get two greens and/or one to two blue raw gems, this was really good money. If you could buy ore that cheaply.

For some people on some servers (Hi giftofarthas!), this was outstanding money. For people on most servers it was. For people on my server? It was basically knowledge I could never use, because our ore prices never fell low enough to take advantage of it.

So, all in all I'm happy with this change. It somewhat levels the playing field between servers.

The bad: Not bad so much as semi-mildly annoying. There's been an update to the Dungeon Finder Call to Arms I posted about yesterday. Now the mounts and pets from the bags will be BoA. Sigh. Even more advantage for people who play tanks!

The not listed in the subject line: Both of my worgen boys are now 24. It's almost mind boggling how easy it is to level one (hunter) compared to the other (cat druid). Thistle (the hunter) moves to the next zone on time, he's fine handling quests of or above his level. Dandelion (druid) gets his butt kicked endlessly. I have him stay and finish every quest in a zone, even when they go deep green, before he moves on.

I tried sending Dandelion to an instance yesterday. 35 minute queue, I was added to the group when they wiped on the final boss. Yay. At least I got a goodie bag with a cape upgrade. Wasn't worth my time though.

RP: My FF MUX app got approved as-is, woot. I need to log on tonight and set Thistle up.

As Keen isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, I decided I really shouldn't be using my best grammar in his dialogue. "We should of" and stuff. However, it makes me twitch! And worse yet, I worry the people I'm playing with will think it's me OOCly who doesn't know better!
