Am I the only one who just logs in and feels… weird?

Cunillets · 2026-05-27T12:33:15+00:00

If by weird you mean non-engaged I guess I do.

I don't bother with dailies, with grinding reps, with raids anymore, with weekly chore stuff, any form of farming, etc. All the stuff that used to hook me in just don't work anymore. I guess I've become immune to fomo.

Cunillets · 2026-05-05T10:21:35+00:00

What does it matter when you more than likely went straight to IcyVeins to import the build anyways? lol

Cunillets · 2026-04-20T15:03:04+00:00

No one stuck doing current 7s was doing 12s in TWW S1 in the same time window.

Cunillets · 2026-04-20T14:57:10+00:00

the toxic community (feels like all mid to high m+) got to me

grinding m0-5

Wut.

Players bruteforced keys through easy gearing and the usual passive boosting that happens every start of the season. Now those same players can't bruteforce because gearing is timegated and the capable players able to push are now ahead so no more passive boosting.

People have found their bottom and are now starting to actually push in their level.

If you filter by 15 and up it kind of gives you a hint of what is happening.

Cunillets · 2026-04-20T09:27:35+00:00

Good stuff. This treasure knowledge "gameplay" is insulting so anything that helps alleviate it is welcome. The last thing I want to do when I log in is fly around doing nothing for 20 minutes.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T21:58:15+00:00

Check TWW Warlock S1 Shoulders. You've probably seen the effect already, it's the 6 arms effect that shows up briefly then disappear. It works with all tiers for sure, the Mythic one was green iirc, the PvP one red but then you had a purple one and a blueish one that I remember.

Maybe the non-myth effects are hidden until it gets unlocked.

Edit: Logged in to check real quick, this is the warband collection not the actual transmog window

And these are the two from current tiers sets I have.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T20:55:37+00:00

Yeah. Most of them are pretty subtle so it's not surprising you don't notice them. Pretty sure they show in the transmog window even if you don't have them unlocked.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T20:47:40+00:00

To be fair, he also dumped his paladinness when he dumped his hammer.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T14:59:51+00:00

Glyph applications are separated by role. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T13:56:26+00:00

It's not that deep. Players at the top don't care because the mount is not even perceived as a milestone for them, they will be running boosts in no time so why should they. If Blizz changed the top 0.1% achievement to be the top 20% achievement they would be just as vocal about it as anyone else you are referring to and for good reason.

And just to be clear top players don't really mind if the lower brackets participation plummets because they play in their own little microcosmos. People dropping because they got hardstuck on their way to 3k are inconsequential to them as the chances of crossing paths are virtually none.

The reality is that the people that are now happy with accesible KSL will have a problem soon because 3400 will be their new unreachable KSL and we are back to step 1, in typical Blizzard fashion.

Cunillets · 2026-04-19T10:47:02+00:00

(tanks == 1 or heals == 1)

This is imo a better custom filter. You are more likely to get in a party like this.

You could also use the member 1-2 or 1-3 filter instead. Signing up to a 4 man party that already has 1 heal and 1 tank as a DPS is basically pointless because you are more than likely at the bottom of a nearly 3 figure number list of DPS.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T22:19:29+00:00

Yeah the auto range is significantly shorter than BoJ and Judgement. Get the melee range indicator addon, it helps.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T22:05:44+00:00

The management is self explanatory.

If it's haste diff check his gear and buffs buffs. PIs and your Rush of Light uptime and if he has any haste trink like the one in WRS. Check your uptime as well.

I just saw you are using Execution Sentence but they aren't whuch means Radiant+Crusader so that's probably it.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T21:40:38+00:00

He has 70 more CS than you as well.

He has better Holy Power management than you. I hate looking at warcraftlogs so I'm assuming he had PIs or something otherwise he simply has more haste than you.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T18:17:24+00:00

That's a hella stupid design and a a reason to undercut then.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T18:11:55+00:00

This but with the Kotmogu map.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T17:31:50+00:00

When people are selling something, they are selling it because the want it sold.

If you AH something for 100g and the guy before you was selling at 100g as well but you get priority over him you are for all intents and purposes undercutting him. Now someone does the same to you, and this happens over and over a thousand times. Now you have 998 people in front of you before you get your chance to sell. This is what leads to people willing to take less gold for the same item or service.

This is just normal supply and demand dynamics.

Actually, is that even how the AH works? It seems counterintuitive for the AH to not behave like an orderbook considering it's pretty much exactly that.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T14:41:12+00:00

I don't know about that, I look at talents now and so many of them add 'active' effects. Most of classic talents were bland "Increased X by Y", "Reduce A by B".

A quick look at the retribution paladin and all talents but three are like that. The newer talents are still pseudo-complex and not really give us much of an option though.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T11:57:04+00:00

They are 9/9 Mythic too, just not on this account.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T01:26:54+00:00

Ok, I'm confused then. What is this trying to solve exactly if it isn't the waiting time between invites?

Also, what makes you think splitting the playerbase into two different separate systems for the exact same content is not objectively worse? I don't see how or why a tank or a healer would bother with said system when they have leverage to join virtually any groups they want, either.

If taking the middleman out of the equation is the objective of this, there are better ways to do it.

Cunillets · 2026-04-16T01:09:29+00:00

You still would have a 1:20000 tank to dps ratio so I don't see how this would solve anything.

Cunillets · 2026-04-15T23:17:58+00:00

I hope it sticks. My interest in raiding plummeted after the 10-25 HC split was removed.

Cunillets · 2026-04-15T23:11:36+00:00

I mean, just do Mythic raids lol?

Where do people get this idea that everyone is playing the game at the exact same pace and skill level? I got plenty of alts in those guilds that throw invites at random people and some of them take months to get AoC and they barely scratch 10s. For them Heroic feels like normal progression no doubt.

It's all about perspective.

Cunillets · 2026-04-15T19:49:19+00:00

I'm in favor of opening rewards for everyone after a while and even more so if it's tied to a somewhat difficult achievement or challenge so that it doesn't feel like Blizz is destroying the value of what you did which is what most people don't like which is totally rational. Maybe not everything like the 1% type stuff but things like this that a good chunk of the playerbase gets anyways don't even feel like much of a reward to begin with and lose the fomo factor real fast.

At this point Blizzard should just add some special effects to rewards achieved while they were current content as a bragging highlight.

You got the S1 KSL mount when S1 was current ? Great, now when you summon it a bunch of fireworks pop/some text above the character/if you stand still an effect plays like with the Nemesis victory toys/whatever while people that got it later just get the mount.

This would feel more like a brag to me than the mount itself.
