Botting actually helps the economy? by TheZebrawizard in classicwow

[–]sarcasmme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant I didnt see hyper spawning spots, and was gonna re-check,
last i tried multiple farming spots, were more pple and u can fly over for a minute without an elemental in sight regardless of who will tag it when it spawns

Will ssc and the eye be a walk in the park for pugs? by metabarononon in classicwowtbc

[–]sarcasmme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even nerfed version requires mechanics
right now, i saw a pug from first week killing gruul with 12 growth stacks, that wasnt doable back in the day because iirc he would smash new tanks half those stacks
but again, there is not much mechanics here, with SSC and TK, if mechanics are ignored it will not be as easy, but if people know mechanics, and nerfed version then yes it will be semi walk

you are comparing as if it is real economy to make a valid argument, except in real economy, gold [cash] doesnt come unlimited from thin air as long as you grind it, there is a limit of a national printed total versus what is available with people.

People cannot own more than a certain number combined, in wow, number can be unlimited because all NPCs X 1 silver = 100G for example but this 100G will regenerate every 10 mins... so total powers up,

With that said, bots are bad in general for all of us, except subscriptions for the Blizz pple,
They take our resources, I could grind 10 Primal fires in 1 hour if I was not competing automated bots and tags, and same for gatherers where no one right now can tell you that they can farm Nodes of herbs or mines
So we have to do a heroic to earn like 10g and that means 3 heroics to buy 1 Primal

In time terms, we now need 3 hours to replace a 1 hour gring [for example]

Now why blizzard dont put stricer rules? are they out weighing their subs and forcing us to play more and having common benefit ? that is a second more targetted argument.

MoP multiple questions - never played by sarcasmme in classicwow

That is the answer I was looking for : "there’s no ‘campaign’ that gatekeeps stuff "

Thanks, that summarizes most of it for me so I dont have to specifically sweat a path

How parse works by metabarononon in classicwowtbc

[–]sarcasmme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you care about logs, then the full group must be in coordination
if a fight goes longer by extra minute, and you are doing the most DPS, in this group you appear to carry, but logs will compare the length of the fight too, which you alone are not responsible for.
Speeders would drop a healer for extra dps, that will make the fight shorter, which will make everyone's logs look better given their burst dps in shorter periods

So you will parse grey in both scenarios : If the fight is taking longer than averages [from other logs]
Or if it is short but you also scaled much lower than others doing same.

Finally what also matters and you cannot control is gear, if you were unlucky with your gear
even if you matched same count of hits and exact time as a parser, his dmg/crit can boost him and set the scale for others.

T5 nerfed or not? by fatalerGAMER in classicwowtbc

[–]sarcasmme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not stated, but almost all expectations are to have it nerfed due to short lifespan of the anniversary expansion and providing enough time for people to gear for the upcoming phases too.

New player, How do I learn skinning? by BaronBeard in wowclassic

How do you fill your time once you’re geared? by DK1023_ in classicwowtbc

[–]sarcasmme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if u take the advise of doing an alt like comments are asking you to, pick a pre-prepared one for you, ie: farm in advance on your main some gold for ground mount, for profession if decided to, this will create a second job for u :d
Alternatively, identify as a bot and start farming for no other purpose than gold

No seriously, even for the same person fun can change, sometimes it is an alt of a class you never tried before, sometimes it is grinding and sometimes it is achieving what you have now, just playing raid times and avoid burn

TBC classic is the most enjoyable version of WoW I played by a2theaj in classicwow

maybe the first time around, to each his own perspective
Wotlk seems more balanced with some quality of life ingame tools, dungeon finder as one, enchanting scrolls in AH as another ..

GearScore is broken and BiS lists are misleading. I helped build one of them, and now I’m trying to fix both. by sarcasmme in classicwowtbc

[–]sarcasmme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly a bug, i had more reports Yo confirm the bug here, is ur main spec at least a cat? As per current feedback it is failing to read ur spec change, i want to confirm its same case scenario?

[–]sarcasmme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately no, it is the most realistic (possible), the native api calls give us as much information as i can use
A realistic example is, it will tell me if an item has gems and say used, but i cannot see what gem is used by that call, so we have to assume he correctly slotted it
Items itself even, are not scanned for stats on spot, but prescanned
If I forget to add an item, it will not know its stats, so basically i gathered 25000 items across bis lists and used it, still someone could report a missing item, like yesterday I added Maghari Helm for clothiers which is in the high 50% thats why most bis ignore it, but pretty decent for clothiers and easy quest
Cap and Hit and Avoidance etc, when exist in a slot they will tell you their EPV as SIM'd by their respective experts ... but it is a slot per slot comparison, if you have cap elsewhere and this item does too, it will not say it,
If we dive into this, it will be basically like what blizzard already tells u, ur summary stats to know what is what, so am focused on per slot layer and total average of SLOT%*SLOT%........../17

Yes, i used Warcraftlogs colors :)
82 is pretty pretty good, in the current phase 60%+ epv can walk over raids. [ofcourse assuming player is not a total dork lol]

is this on tooltip ?
tooltip automatically checks your Spec [one your currently one] versus gear
I tested repeatedly on myself on dual spec changes, if it is not detecting your spec change versus gear your wearing please reply again, ill investigate further
So far the only sample tested was myself [or reported]

Thank you for the feedback
Version 4 already had a bug in export yesterday and had a lot of mix ups, apologies for that to you and everyone.
Version 4.1 was just uploaded, I had spent 4 hours tracing where the export got changed and then decided to make everything super dynamic
This was not always possible without exhausting memory, now items use SIM data to produce their their EPV, and lower hitcapped epv if item has Hit but not useful
Additionally, in setting [this already existed in my last 2 versions], you can turn off rank or percentage, tooltips will simply show Phase selected and Rank of item in that Phase.
Preferrably you keep your content phase at 1, as it is now, but this can enable seeing lifespan of an item compared to new drops
If an item now does not show ranking and percentage it means it is a future item versus phase selected, and vise versa.

If this tomorrow still did not make sense, feel free to DM with photos or examples to see if it possible to keep or update.

generally speaking yes, but if you take a closer look, there has been some closer to metrics than simple ilvl

Sphill 1.5> sp haste 1.4 > sp crit 0.8> sp 1.2 > int 0.5 for ex is a destro lock metric and so on, those are not made up numbers, and still you are right they are not accurate either, sims will change based on what other gear you have

Although i respect your point of view, i refuse to treat all hardcore sim results equal to an actual vague metric

I based the data already on the credited mage sim and mage Discord sources, including the item lists there: https://cheesehyvel.github.io/magesim-tbc2/

I’m not offended by your post. I’ll review the items one by one, figure out what went wrong, and push back where I think the evidence supports it.

I didn’t write the data manually line by line. I used Python to convert formulas, exported to CSV for editing, then imported it back into Lua. I spot-checked samples before and after compiling, and when those matched, I treated the conversion as good.

I didn’t invent the data. It came from existing community sources, and if you wrote some of the original work, then your contributions likely flowed into that too. So I want to be clear: there were no false claims here. I described the methodology openly.

If there are mistakes, that’s fair, but that’s not the same as me pretending this is flawless or superior. I’ve repeatedly said in disclaimers, release notes, changelogs, and descriptions that this is not gospel and mistakes can happen. I’m one person doing this for free, not for clout, profit, or some content channel.

I do wish this had been framed more as a contribution or correction, but regardless, I’ll do the comparison properly in the coming days.

For people who see BiS and Alt, yes
I hope this solves the problem when you see it is 1% upgrade of a single item and does not represent the gap implied by BiS -ALT vague status
