TMI Raiding

-
A concept idea for blog post. Trying to translate the WoW game into RL. Taking into account that all magic and current character abilities are given *("Magical healing is impossible", prot pally shield is not a boomerang). 

To Much Information about Raiding. What a 20 man raid may be like in RL.
  • Instead of just the twenty heroes, each would have an apprentice or squire carrying that extra gear, food and tools for repair gear.
  • After some fights, you will need repairs, not just after a certain resilience level. Plate armor doesn't magically unbend. You could have a crushed chest plate. Not to mention your sword broke? Burnt cloth armor holes?
  • Bathroom breaks. Eat drink urinate.
  • Fighting would be exhausting. Not just when YOU need to go to bed, but you'd need to sleep after a certain number of fights. the more you play the more you'd build up more stamina and could fight longer.
  • Clipping. Arms reach between heroes please.  No bumping into each other during fight.Only run 'around' the boss, not through (unless you can get under his dragon legs).  (crouching)
  • Friendly fire. That giant hunter trap, mage snowflake, rain of fire.. Yeah tank and melee is going to get hit too. Healers better be ready for your DPS AOE. 
  • One size fits none. That drop off that giant demon isn't going to fit your gnome. It will need to be fitted for your character.
  • If you don't sleep in an inn, those rogues are going to pick pocket you while you sleep.
  • You could have grey classes that blend. Shadow + discipline. Use more damaging spells for even better healing.
  • Drops. Stuff you throw out could be picked up by anyone.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
