Deja Vu II- Not Learning from Past Mistakes

Smith Hauthaa, the Badge of Justice vendor, is in there.....somewhere

In a blue post (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2228415544?page=10#183) yesterday Blizzard have announced that the daily heroic reward of 70 Valor Points is to be replaced in 4.1by a weekly maximum reward system. Their reasoning is that this will allow players who don't play every day but play lots on a few days will be able to earn the same number of Valor Points as someone who logs on and does the daily heroic. They also stated that they didn't want the daily heroic to feel like a job, which I admit it does.

Also in 4.1, the heroics will be split in 2 levels. Tier 1 heroics will be all those Cataclysm heroics already in the game and these will continue to give 70 Valor Points per run. Tier 2 heroics will be the new Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub instances will give 140 per run.

Against The Legion

Still back in Vanilla, WoW Classic, WoW 1.x whatever you choose to call it I was happy raiding as "one of the team". Then one day Gemmlas, the priest class leader and healing lead announced he was taking a step back for a few weeks for work reason and announced that he would be looking for someone to step up and take over the healing assignments when he wasn't around.  I never considered that it would be me that would get the /w asking if I'd step up and assist. There were much more prominent guildies in the healing team I assumed would get the job and to be honest at that time I was managing a team as a job and enjoyed being in the pack.

The Ghosts of Progression

Today I'm bringing to you 2 ideas. The first is not mine, but that of Gevlon. himself, I'm a regular reader of  the Greedy Goblin and have been since I began researching gold making. He stopped blogging mainly about gold making and focuses on the social engineering side of the game. I admire some of his ideas, The PuG, Undergeared, his ganking project and even his beliefs on M&S but I do question his motivation and his propensity to over analyse the situations at times (maybe its just advanced thinking that I cant follow) e.g. his recent post on guild and progression.

Where I'm At and What I'm Grinding....

Well what a chaotic time it has been. Been busy at work these past few weeks and been enjoying my WoW time a bit too much and have neglected a couple of updates and certainly forgotten to keep the ol' blog upated with my most recent exploits.

Since hitting the That's A Lot Of Bait guild achievement and eating many Seafood Magnifique Feasts me and the guys and gals of SKF have been having a blast. We've added 2 more boss kills to the list first was Maloriak and that was soon followed by Valiona and Theralion.
