also

mmmmm, 3 of the main AH bots weren't on today all afternoon. Left for a family function and came back to 1 toon having sold 5500g worth of glyphs and the other having sold 6000g.

Much better than the usual 300g each.

3 more days like that and I'll be back to a 1/2 mill.

I can apparently solo Malygos, now that I understand how phase 3 works...had him at 2% when he berserked, the dot on him killed him. This is thanks mostly to gear, I was really sloppy in phases 1 and 2, and I could've done a little better in phase 3. If my feral gear wasn't 405 I probably would've taken too long in phases 1 and 2.

BUT, I really wish I had read this wowhead comment first

Quote:

If you die at the end of the encounter like i did after soloing him for the first time, you must not release your spirit until Alexstrasza has created the gift or you will return to find only gold inside it. I thought i would be ok since i saw Malygos' health hit zero. I got credit for the kill but no loot.

Knowing the problem was that I released my spirit, i still contacted a GM to ask why this happened. He/she said it was a known bug that occurs when Malygos is solod or two-manned. This ofcoarse was not the problem.

I solod it as a prot warrior in dps gear, with Souldrinker. I found it was more a dps race that anything else. Probably possible with out Souldrinker.

Prismatic elixer,
Drums of forgotten kings,
Strength food,
Elixer of the cobra.
Runescroll of fortitude II (optional).

UPDATE: I re-opened my ticket, expressing how unhappy I was with the reply I had with the previous ticket. I stated,"If it was a "bug", and no fault of mine, surely you should ensure i still get the loot i earned by killing him". I got a reply from a different GM and my loot was sent in the mail.

Opened a ticket, we'll see how it goes.

I guess there are more bots on my server than I gave credit for. Right now (6am server) there are 8 people, 4 of which are RAFed 85s still wearing all the 232 gear with herbalism and mining, and 1 is an 83 in all the 232 gear with 525 mining (no second profession yet, but I think we all see where this is going).

Before this, I would have honestly put the number of bots on my server pretty damn low, since it's not high pop or very lucrative in any other way, but now I'm thinking it's gotta be way higher than I originally thought.

topher123890 · 07-07-2012, 09:33 AM

Apparently the only people that do BGs at this time of day on alliance are premades, and on horde are complete ****ing idiots, who on top of being complete ****ing idiots have no resilience.....

Yeah, scroll of Rez made it super easy to see the new bots. There are reports of them getting 5+ accounts banned in one fell swoop (most likely due to ip addresses all being redirected from around the world to one location).

I'm so totally serious when I say people, loads of them, will bot every and anything. DMF monthly/daily quests? Yep. The AH? Of course. Farming fish for raid feasts? Damn right. Grinding old ICC5M heroics for home city rep or battered hilts? Uh huh. Leveling from 1-10 (which only takes about 20 minutes otherwise)? Surely. Recruiting for guilds? Mhmm. Farming BoE pets or even BoP ones from places like MgT? No doubt. Getting achievements that take no effort, like Explorer? Yessir. Botting just to get from one far away place to another? Why the hell not! Crafting loads of items to put on the auction house, doing the JC shuffle, making thousands of fortune cards and flipping them the vendor, dpsing or healing in arenas and raids, leveling any and every profession, completing any and every daily, grinding any and every rep, camping and/or taming any and every rare spawn in the game, soloing any and every old raid you could think of? You bet your ass.

If you can do it in game, no matter what it is, you can probably bot it, and there's likely someone botting it right now.

Also, YAAAAYYYYY I DIDN"T WASTE ALL THAT GOLD!!!!

We have been discussing this issue the last couple of days and we made the call to make the following mounts account-wide:

Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
Grand Expedition Yak
Mechano-Hog
Mekgineer's Chopper
Sandstone Drake
Grand Ice Mammoth
Ice Mammoth
Jeweled Onyx Panther (all color variants)
Cloud Serpents (all color variants)

At this point, the only mounts that are not account-wide are either class specific or rewarded from PVP. We feel like both these types of mounts should still be character specific.

Thanks for your feedback on this issue!

Us 4 are gonna camp mines the ENTIRE game! The rest of you have fun 10v6.

Aceium · 07-07-2012, 12:13 PM

Very next BG, Gilneas again. We have 9 people at LH and they say they won't attack because everyone's too undergeared.

Pleasure · 07-07-2012, 03:36 PM

we are levelling a DISC priest (me) and a buddy is going Druid

what would be the 3rd class to be an OPTIMAL/EFFICIENT 3v3 team?

I am assuming pally???

Probably a lock or a mage, imo

I'm assuming the druid will be feral, so having 2 melee DPS probably not the best idea

Aceium · 07-07-2012, 06:09 PM

Definitely Mage.

topher123890 · 07-07-2012, 06:23 PM

Apparently I can solo Malygos as enhance too, though it's a lot tougher.

Not even gonna try my rogue, that's probably gonna be even tougher than enhance. I'm sure people can do it, but probably not me.

Gonna go try Ony now I guess. Maybe VoA too, since I'm already saved to those on my druid

Low Key · 07-07-2012, 06:50 PM

air phase will suck for melees

topher123890 · 07-07-2012, 07:21 PM

Yeah, it looks like it'll be long, and most of the difficulty of that phase will be not getting gibbed by the whelps. Last few attempts have been really stupid, not paying close attention and dying in phase 1.

Definitely seems doable, but it might take a while to get all the kinks worked out
