Dailies may kill the game. Hard to believe that Farmville may be the ultimate WoW killer. Getting into a routine, log in, check mail, make Sha Crystal, fly to Silken fields to make cloth, harvest, plant, do Tillers quests, try to get a random in.........rinse repeat.
Faction dailies are on hold. Tried to work on cloud serpents, got as far as finding 2 eggs. That was enough. Looks like there is some support for my idea about letting us use lesser coins for faction rep. I think it has some merit. Guess we will see if a Blue takes notice, maybe tweet a link to them.

Saw an Elwynn lamb on black market starting bid 10k, wish I had that kind of money. Maybe some day.
One the plate for tonight, more farming. Headless Horseman mount grind coming to a close on year 4. /shakes fist

1 month in
So today is 1 month in to the expansion. Let the long haul begin. Felt like I made 0 progress last night. Got on about regular time, went out and took care of the Tillers yet again. Fortunately it seems now I am only working on rep with the rest of the clan. Think I have 4 or 5 of them as best buddies now. I think there will be a point when I just toss in the towel and just buy food buffs from the AH. Half my bags are filled with cooking materials and cooked food in case one of them wants some dinner.
Did the Headless Horseman last night. Pally Tank was bad. Could not hold aggro off me, I popped everything, even stopped DPS, it was almost like they did it on purpose. So 2 deaths and run backs, a wipe, and then they showed up for the fight and we got it down. Still no mount after 4 years. Couple more tries still left.
Did not run a dungeon, did not do LFR, really had no desire to. I think right now it is just too much to do, yeah I know they say you don't have to do the rep grinds, but if you want to raid at all, you need the Valor gear and that means grinding rep to unlock them. Unless you are sitting on piles of gold and can buy pieces of BoE.
Kind of down about Shadowpriest.com being gone. I will be the first to admit the site had issues, and a lot of blame should be put on the company that owned it. They had all sorts of ideas and made a lot of promises that they never followed through with. It's a shame, if they had done even half of what they told us they would have, it would have been very successful. I wish I had gotten a hold of Veiled sooner and told her what HoHo and I were talking about and had just done it all then, back in January instead of waiting as long as we did. Being a Moderator was an honor, even if it was only at the end when it was already heading down hill, is something I will always cherrish. It really was not a difficult job. Ban about a dozen spammers a week, move the occasional post to a corect forum, fix broken links in posts, and just read. We are a pretty good group of people and we do not really need a lot of moderation. I just hope that whatever little bit I did at the end, posting on General and at MMO-C for everyone to switch, and telling the owners that I had done it, and the should just sell or shut it down, made some difference in H2P being able to buy the site up for a lot less than they wanted. I have to admit, I did consider taking the offer they made to take over the site. If I knew more about web design I probably would have. As it was giving me full admin rank may have helped to clean it up some. Kilee has told me he will continue to keep his guide going as long as the site is up. Just crossing my fingers about doing all of this. I guess time will tell.
Howtopriest.com is by far a much better site. The info is current, the theory crafters are all there, and it is not exclusively Shadow. I don't feel comfortable offering any advice on gear checks with the new system of talents and glyphs. There really isn't a quote "Bad Choice" unless you are picking all healing talents to DPS. Yeah the cookie cutter build was boring, but you could tell in 10 seconds something was dead wrong if you saw points taken in Holy for Shadow. Now it can depend on the fight. Rotations are out the window too. It is too much for me to offer any basic tips to anyone, so I stay away from a part of the game I use to love doing. I think that except for ramblings here, I may be done with Forums. I am not some super knowledgeable player with years of experience. If I ever think of something that does not seem right I will ask privately. Just feel like I am going from a place where I could contribute to one where I am an elementary school kid trying to talk to College grads working on doctoral papers. All I can offer is the point of view for the average player. Don't know if common sense and keeping it simple will fit in with all the advanced theory. Two very different worlds for sure. those in the top 5% and the other 95% of us.
Well may take a few days off from here. Unless something exciting happens.

I'm Back
Well apparently GMail had some issues with me using Marathal Shadowpriest as a name, suspended account. All fixed I hope, not that I expect thousands of people to read this all some day.
So coming up on week 4 of the Mists of Pandailia expansion. Been busy. Have all of the regular quests done, Loremaster taken care of. Explored everywhere, Lorewalkers is out of the way, Love flying disk, especially as a Shadowpriest. Exalted with Tillers but still need to max cooking, Archeology maxed out and got the BoA umbrella, Honored with Golden Lotus and finally got the tailoring patterns, just in time for there to not be a market for the gear. Klaxxi still working on, and all the others, got Cloud Serpents to Revered, yeah!!
Dungeons are interesting, sometimes a challenge, sometimes not. Definite improvement over Cata heroics. LFR. Hmmm, yeah, something wrong there, have not had 1 full run, just groups doing 1 boss then falling apart, no idea what is up with that. Downed Sha of Punch me in face I drop loot for everyone but you twice now. Have yet to see Galleon, but understand a lot of people are greifing others. Hope they phase it to the first group that tags.
Lesser coins are a joke. Probably have over 300 and cant turn in but 90 a week for 3 coins. That needs to change. I suggested allowing us to turn in 100 for 1000 rep. No one said hey great idea or no thats stupid. Hoping someone at Blizz thinks its a good idea. I thought so. (edit, Woaden, thought it was a great idea, if you ever read this TY)
Well tonight knocking out Panda candy buckets, and maybe a random. Thats it for now.
