Awesome, after god knows how many pages of reading this discussion I can finally be annoying. First of all, if you are that far I can say; get out more often!!!
And since you try to be cool, lets just do this (sorry everyone else for the showoff): while you were busy downing thise big bad bosses I was flying a commercial jet making 'you dont want to know how much money' a month. On top of that I had enough spare time (and money) to have some fun on my snowboard ( while during my trips I sail and kitesurf in the most exotic places), play my drums, ride my motorcycle (and gf), and occasionally play games (inc this).
All I'm trying to say is; stop thinking you are really ****** because you play a game so often.
Now on topic: As you may have guessed I'm a casual gamer, iow not to worried about the broken economy. Cause other then having to put you down in your place I do agree that they need to sort a lot of stuff out when it comes to end game. Can only judge that by discussions like this (lvl 33 BH), but been with wow since the release and indeed you could craft gear that was better then blues (which was what most had; MC was uncharted territory); and some was actually needed for raids (farming fire or nature gear ring any bells ^^).
Sorry for reacting a bit snotty, but you kinda had it coming. Don't talk down to people just because they aren't 50 or can't raid (due to jobs like mine) or don't want to raid for whatever reason. And seriously get outside!!! It's where life's hsppening:cool:
Just my way to long 2 cents
