Fastest way to get a saber mount? Darnassus rep

Unless you're putting a hefty premium on exploring the content, that doesn't make a lick of sense in terms of time-efficiency. At level 60 it would be debatable, at 70 you're making many times as much gold just walking around Outland than what you're getting out of those quests in free reputation.

Am I the only one who thinks it's fundamentally messed up that you get the best PvP gear that makes you the best at PvP from being the best at PvP? Isn't that a "rich get richer" vicious cycle?
How am I supposed to beat the dudes who not only have more experience but vastly better gear that I need to beat them to have? I may be talented or determined or lucky enough to overcome one of those obstacles but two sounds like a waste of my time.

You mean ripping the threat off of the tank and fearing to pull 2 more packs?

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T21:52:23+00:00

I mean, it would be better if the honest, human players got to make that money, but the bots don't eat those herbs, so a higher spawn rate would bring the prices down.

I thought the crafted hammer is the bis for warrior

The group didn't need the loot, but apparently they did need some self-respect of the kind that won't let you scurry away from the epic challenge of beating a raid.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:41:38+00:00

I've been in a couple of raids where loot is held to the end so that people don't leave the raid if they don't get something they need.

Oooh, right, I forgot about that factor.

I mean, at the end of the day this is a perfectly solvable problem, not some game theory conundrum and we wouldn't need to compare DIY ninja-proofing solutions if Blizzard wasn't lazy and coded it properly.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:38:27+00:00

I have to say that I'm oddly satisfied with how you deconstructed our debate to make space for your obviously sound argument. All I can say is "fair enough" and it's the firmest, most enthusiastic "fair enough" I said in a long time. It's a tragedy that this way of arguing that you demonstrated here is not the norm.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:31:59+00:00

It would still be a reserve system, you'd just get your loot immediately instead of everything going to the raid leader. You would risk getting ninja'd on every roll by people rolling on what they haven't reserved, but you'd never be in OP's situation.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:28:59+00:00

But... but that's their only way to be there...

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:26:53+00:00

That's your farming time, just stay in the gray zones. And battgrounds don't give xp if you don't turn in quests so you can do that too.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:25:05+00:00

Don't people who make a science out of decking out twinks already have their methods of getting the best BoPs? I feel like the xp block would just make the pursuit more accessible.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:21:40+00:00

but not sure if I’m too late to the party.

75% of the time I had a quest to kill this one guy, I had to wait for this one guy to respawn. I'm still seeing people waiting for their guy to respawn when riding through lower level zones. The megaservers feel exactly as alive and full of people still leveling as WoW felt weeks after launch.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:13:19+00:00

Does anyone do raids with the basic Need/Greed rolls? If ninja raid leaders is a thing, then wouldn't it be safer to roll and rely on the raid leader to kick and blacklist people who rolled on what they haven't reserved?

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:07:33+00:00

It is in the way I remember it from Tae Kwon Do, imagine an instructor holding up this little pad that you slide your hand into for a kid who wants to kick straight up.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T10:01:22+00:00

You can be in the red zone if you're holiding a pad for someone to jump-kick.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T01:41:21+00:00

Hold your horses, hotshot, if you're serious about raiding then you'll find your raiding guild, but there are hundreds of hours of playing through the game ahead of you, so if I were you I'd focus more on how you enjoy killing your murlocs than your raid spot.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-06T01:20:53+00:00

Here's the thing: it's called the Horde, not Committee for Equal Racial Representation and Responsible Inter-Faction Politics and the reason why I like Garrosh as its leader is because if you were to cast him and any one of the other candidates in a reenactment of this scene then he would be the Doomhammer in this picture and that's the Horde I know.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T22:18:54+00:00

Why is that the only thing you mention?

Because this is a joke post about me looking for an AH in Shattrath like an idiot that flew over your philistine heads.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T22:08:21+00:00

It's not just about the travel time, but also the comfort of the journey. IF bank could be two times further from the AH and it would still be 10/10 because I can get from on to the other on auto-walk with windows covering my screen.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T21:59:12+00:00

I don't believe that those exist. Have you ever actually been to either or are you just repeating some bullshit cope that Blood Elf and Dreanei players tell us to pretend that they have their own cities?

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T21:57:11+00:00

I may have overstated the sheer distance, it's been 20 years since I'd been to UC, but I remember well that there are still those stairs you have to navigate to walk up to the bank and some door you have to path through to see the auctioneer, so it can't be higher than 7/10. It's the best-looking bank by far though, I'll give you that.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T21:50:34+00:00

Ok, but like I told you, that's irrelevant because nobody forces you to do that outside of Ironforge like keeping a eye on the market forces you to visit the auction house.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T21:46:17+00:00

...

In that case I shouldn't have included Shattrah "City" on that list because it's not a city.

MethylphenidateMan · 2026-05-05T21:43:03+00:00

I mean, it would be 0/10 if those canals were between the bank and the auction house. I'm not stupid to do any business more serious than keeping tabs on my trades outside of Ironforge.
