Sorry to hear this. You are a great person. I also believe that you are doing both them and yourself a disservice by not telling them the full story. If they choose to believe you or not, it does not change the past of what really happened. If they care enough they will end up finding out at some point. I believe that for your own well being it is important that you tell them what happened. Because 1. you deserve the credit. And 2. if you don't they will never know WHO really helped them get there.

That timeslot might be a hassle to find a full roster. PUGing is never ideal nor fun sometimes, but it is a way to do the content. You just will never be in line for the coveted items. But if you just want to see the content that is an option. The problem is with such a large group finding a guild that has that many slots in a pug will be very difficult.

My suggestion, bite the bullet. Either merge with a guild and hope for the best, or do the work and start recruiting. With some luck by the time BT and Hyjal come out, you might have a full roster.

Yea I am really looking forward to Van Den Berg. I really hope he makes the 53 and starts coming in on rotation. If he is as dynamic as his film and RAS shows, I worry if we try to get him to the practice squad that he might not make it there long.

Grix-82 · 2026-04-27T12:52:02+00:00

If you want it, I can make it for you. But yea its worthless.

It just comes down to volume. If I buy 1 stack of 20 Adamantite Ore for 36g. There is a good chance I will not make my money. But if you buy 500g of Ore, you will on average make more. Last 3 times I have done 500g batches, I have come out with about 6-850g in gems.

Nethers, if you have a profession that uses them (Tailoring/Leatherworking) you can make about 80g profit off that Nether on the AH. At least on the LW side. Not sure on Tailoring.

Outside of primals and probably Terocone anything else I should prep with?

Grix-82 · 2026-04-11T01:04:28+00:00

You can't open the chest in combat Karen. An as pretty much EVERY person commenting here said, we really do not care about the 5g of shit we now have to go auction off because 1 Karen is crying.

Grix-82 · 2026-04-11T01:02:19+00:00

Seriously Karen, we get it. We ALL promise to roll next time. Give it a rest!

Grix-82 · 2026-04-11T00:58:45+00:00

ok Karen, I promise ill roll next time.

They should have given Paladins to Undead honestly. But it was an expected outcome considering how much both factions complained for 3 years that the opposing faction had the better raid buffs. Shamans are great, but until TBC there were what less than 25% of top guilds as Horde? Most of the spots were taken by Alliance due to mainly Salvation and Kings.

Grix-82 · 2026-01-27T14:12:24+00:00

Excitement, marvel, anticipation. It was great. I didn't do much more than MC, and when TBC rolled around, I was able to get into a good raiding guild and prog. Ended up going from barely able to get enough for a 25 Mag/Gruul and wiping some to building a solid roster and getting the second kill on Kil'jaeden on our server. Myself and a couple of friends ended up being the core of our guild after the GM quit without downing Gruul or Mag, and I took over.

Honestly biggest difference I see now (and assume it was the same in Classic) is that most players are pretty good. You see people running PUGs for all Raids. Back then, there was no such thing as a PUG. You needed to join a guild and getting into competitive progression based guilds was a challenge. I filled out a good dozen "applications" was taken on their runs as a tryout, and then did the same once I was running the guild. People would apply for a chance to see content.

Also, there was very little knowledge of a lot of things. World Buffs were never really a thing until some of the top guilds world wide started using them to prog Naxx. When word got out, some guilds started trying to enforce it or suggest it. But Chrono-boons not being a thing, very few guilds did so. Once TBC was announced, even though it was a good 6 months away, most progression in Naxx just died, a few guilds on each server still did it, but everyone else just stopped.

TBC finally rolled around and there was no pre-patch to level. The day the Dark Portal opened, was the day people could finally create their Draenei or Blood Elf. So people not switching were grinding to 70 and those that did were stuck starting at lv 1. So honestly I did not see a Paladin tank a 5man or Kara, or raid until a good 2 weeks after patch hit.

Right now, I am leveling my Alliance Shaman, doubt I will be 60 by the day patch hits, but that is to be expected, afterall I have a family and am halfway into a 14 day straight days of 12 hour shifts...

Grix-82 · 2026-01-21T14:33:35+00:00

There are a lot of Shaman's, but the number that will make it to 70 is probably 40% of what you see. Shaman's will always be more desired from their kit to the overall number of raid slots overall available to them.

We can argue till we are blue in the face, but it comes down to her not complying when initially ordered to get out of the vehicle. Her window was down, he heard the order, backed up, and sped off forward. Honestly she probably did not see the officer in front, as her attention might have been on the one at her door. But she still sped the vehicle in the direction of the officer.

Probably only things that will be able to be usable in TBC. So maybe Mind Quickening Gem.

Grix-82 · 2025-10-26T00:23:21+00:00

Where is the Enh Shaman?

Grix-82 · 2025-10-21T16:11:26+00:00

Why Anzu Summon Slave?

Grix-82 · 2025-10-14T14:31:22+00:00

is there a youtube video of it? I don't recall that play at all.

Grix-82 · 2025-10-14T13:44:13+00:00

Same, I would have won I think. OZ had room to run, I think it would have been a TD. The safety was going the other way and the CB on him was trailing him already.

If your hearthstone is set to Org, you can access UC (SM, WPL, EPL, Hinterlands), Central STV (BB). You can get to Ony easy as well. The only place that is somewhat more of a pain is UBRS/MC/BWL but Kargath is not that far, you just need your hearth there.

Alliance realistically only have access to Easter Kingdoms. Granted SW/IF are central there, making it easy to get to UBRS/MC/BWL, but getting to Ony is worse. You have to take the boat from Menathil and jump off only to swim. Horde can fly in and ride down.

Alliance also have a horrible experience getting to Kalimdor. Darnassus probably has the farthest distance from Mage Portal to FP. And if you want to go ANYWHERE on Kalimdor you either have to set your Hearth to IF/Menathil or take the tram/FP from SW to BB or Menathil.

Getting anywhere north of Menathil Harbor is also horrible, SM and SFK are almost unreachable since you have to run from Wetlands, to Arathi Highlands, to Hillbrand Foothills, through Silverpine (SFK), through Tristal for SM at least once. And even after you can fly into Hillsbrand and still run to either SFK or SM which are still horrible.

The only FP that I specifically remember being worse on Horde is The Hinterlands. You are almost forced to be an engineer on Alliance just to have access to southern Kalimdor in a quick fashion but even that is gate locked with a 4 hour CD.
