04:24.31NullEntityso I have 368 lesser cosmic essence. How can I liquidate these without flooding the market?
04:25.42kullervoNullEntity: toss them on the ground
04:25.49NullEntity:(
04:25.56kullervomake sure to scatter them around so you don't poison the groundwater
04:33.33AmarandeNullEntity: give them away to a guildie who needs to level enchanting on an alt?
04:34.19NullEntityI was hpoing to find a way to sell them because I'm out of money. I listed them before, but they didn't sell at all
04:34.42NullEntityturns out people just kept undercutting me and each other until the price was extremely low >.>
04:35.17Amarandeheh, that's the way of things
04:41.47NullEntityis it possible to tell if stuff actually sells for a certain price on the AH? it's confusing when sites report stuff as valuable, but rare, but really someone just listed it for 10k and then it expired because nobody wants it
04:42.08AmarandeNullEntity: that's one thing you really can't do for the most part
04:42.22Amarandebasically, scanners can only tell what stuff was listed for, not whether it actually sold
04:42.34Amarandeeven with auctioneer the only info you can get on actual sales is for things *you* sold personally
04:43.16Amarandealso it's hard to pin down a precise value on many of those kind of items
04:43.28Amarandebecause they're rare, so there's no consistent market for them to provide a baseline
04:43.46Amarandeand on the flip side, they tend to be things of niche interest as well (most of those lower level epic weapons only sell when someone wants them for a mog)
04:44.18Amarandeso pretty much that's what you DO with stuff like that, you list it for several thousand, knowing it probably won't be undercut because it's such a rarity, and hope someone decides they want it today or tomorrow :)
04:57.58NullEntityI have a skullflame shield and darkmoon eye, but they haven't been selling at all :(

17:45.32JunkHeadso character boost price is possibly $60
17:49.43fewynyes
17:49.45fewyni heard
17:50.04fewynpricier than i expected but less than the absurd numbers people i know were throwing around
17:52.10JunkHeadI'm ok with it.
17:52.21JunkHeadIt's in that range where if people wanna do it, they can.
17:52.41JunkHeadBut some people will hate the price, so they can just.... not pay it.
17:54.10JunkHeadHey fewyn, what class will you use yours on?
17:54.36JunkHeadDon't you already have 2 90's of each?:P
17:55.35b4k4^^:P
17:55.58b4k4^^quick! delete a toon!
17:56.08fewyni have no idea JunkHead
17:56.10fewyntbqh
17:56.59Amarandewow, Blizzard decided to just up and sell an in-house leveling service?
17:57.30JunkHeadI have 2 accounts, (one is inactive usually)
17:57.40JunkHeadSo that's 2 free 90's.
17:57.43Amarandebleh, this is gonna be fun in queues I'm sure :|
17:57.59JunkHead2 free 90's I don't need.
17:58.04Amarande"hey, let's make it easy for someone to have a 90+ character and not actually have to learn their class on the way"
17:58.18b4k4^^+a zillion
17:58.19JunkHeadI could just make one on another server, but I'd never play it and it'd be a waste.
17:58.25Amarandewe've got enough dodos in queues who don't know their damn class as it is
17:58.42JunkHeadThe only other option is to make whatever would help my guild get "Stay Classy".
17:58.49Amarande(okay, I guess I should go easy on a few of them ... there are probably the ones who spent their entire career in one role/spec and then decided to switch and are still learning the ropes of tanking/healing :S)
17:58.52b4k4^^that
17:59.08AmarandeJunkHead, feeling the need for that 8th tab?
17:59.38b4k4^^(I have 2 toons in the pipeline for that achi, incidentally)
17:59.40JunkHeadIt'd help.
17:59.54Amarandeheh, I remember seeing when that tab came out
18:00.12Amarandeand thinking that's got to be the most ridiculously impossible requirement for a guild to ever meet in a reasonable sense
18:00.21AmarandeI mean, let's think about it, in the long run, there are three basic kinds of guild
18:00.33AmarandeA. Close knit groups of friends who form a guild for just themselves to have a private gaming club
18:01.08AmarandeB. Mostly-unregulated social oriented guilds that have lots of people but don't really pay much attention to focused goals except perhaps that of avoiding excessive drama
18:01.27JunkHeadEh, I dunno. I like my guild. Lot of nice people.
18:01.30AmarandeC. Hard core raid guilds where the whole organisation is built around clearing content as efficiently as possible
18:01.45JunkHeadI even randomly ask them odd questions.
18:01.50AmarandeJunkHead: it's not that any of these are "bad", it's that I expected that practically none of them would be reasonably able to Stay Classy, specifically
18:02.05JunkHeadOther night I asked a guy "if you could gkick anyone in the guild, for any reason, who would it be?"
18:02.14*** join/#wowhead xadin (~Adium@c-98-223-240-180.hsd1.in.comcast.net)
18:02.16JunkHeadhe honestly couldnt choose anyone. said he liked everyone.
18:02.17AmarandeKeep in mind, you have to have like what, 50+ different characters all of the right combinations to get it now?
18:02.20b4k4^^leeeeeeroy
18:02.28JunkHeadnot sur the number
18:02.29Amarandelet's see ...
18:02.59JunkHeadBut we have people who will help out for those things.
18:03.02AmarandeA is unlikely to ever be large enough to get this (although the fact that friends-guild types tend to have the biggest cases of altitis might help in terms of the character count needed, but see B)
18:03.05b4k4^^we are something like 5 combos short
18:03.29JunkHeadLike, other ngiht I mentioned we needed someone with exalth with silverwing sentinels to get that chievement
18:03.39JunkHeadguy on vent says, i think my other mage has that
18:03.45AmarandeB is unlikely to manage to marshal people to actually get all the combos (type B will probably have similar class/race demographics to WoW at large and they strongly slant towards some combinations and almost not at all to others)
18:03.45b4k4^^:D
18:03.49JunkHeadso he logs off, hops on his alt mage
18:03.53JunkHeadasks for ginvite
18:03.58JunkHeadlinks that he is exalted
18:04.02JunkHeadalso....
18:04.12JunkHeadlinks achievement for 250000 honroable kills
18:04.17AmarandeC is again likely to fail to have sufficient characters, since you need 50+ characters and hardcore raid guilds are built around a specific team of 10 or 25, normally
18:04.18JunkHead250k
18:04.23JunkHeadand his mage is 61
18:04.32b4k4^^:D
18:04.33JunkHeadi was like... wtf
18:04.37Amarandealso, hardcore raiding strongly slants against certain races, so those are likely to have a tough time getting represented :S
18:04.41Amarandeso, which type will make it?
18:04.53JunkHeadraces wont matter really in wod
18:04.59JunkHeadthey dont matter much now really
18:05.12AmarandeJunkHead: the absolute hardcore care about the little things like orc damage bonuses and such, though
18:05.19JunkHeadthose will be gone
18:05.24JunkHeadracials are being changed
18:05.33Amarandehmmm
18:05.36b4k4^^myeah
18:05.45Amarandecan we make gnomes always have a giant neon sign above their location in battlegrounds?
18:05.48Amarandethat would be a nice new racial
18:05.49Amarande:)
18:05.51b4k4^^if hit is going away draenei racial goes away
18:05.56JunkHeadyup.
18:06.04JunkHeadand human expertise bonus
18:06.08Amarandestupid gnomes
18:06.32b4k4^^I switched my gnome monk to human because I couldn't see where I was in raids :P
18:07.05JunkHeadhttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/12953018/warlords-of-draenor-pvp-update-2-18-2014
18:07.14JunkHeadand this appears to be the big news of the day
18:09.35Amarandeor maybe in pvp, there should be an enforced setup, kinda like how mog gear looks don't show up in battlegrounds
18:09.52Amarandewhere gnomes are always forced to wear their longest honkin' title while in the bg
18:09.56Amarandeso they're easy to pick out :)
18:10.17Amarandeoh sorry no you can't have no title or just Jenkins, you have to wear DEFENDER OF A SHATTERED WORLD whenever you're in BG, damn gnome :D
18:12.42b4k4^^hmm, I don't have that
18:12.55b4k4^^I do have Champion of the Frozen Wastes tho
18:13.52b4k4^^"Terrain outside of Frostwolf Keep has been modified to prevent players from jumping over the walls."
18:14.02b4k4^^AV has been out how long?
18:14.30fewynforever
18:14.41fewyndid they really change that?
18:14.46g0urrayes
18:15.08fewyn¯\_(ツ)_/¯
18:15.21Amarandewait, they FINALLY nerfed Alliance's ridiculous terrain advantage there?
18:15.25Amarandeafter what, 9 years?
18:15.32fewyn"ridiculous"
18:16.01Amarandefewyn: Alliance had a *much* more airtight keep assuming good defence
18:16.11Amarandewhereas Drek was always far too easy to reach by comparison
18:16.31Amarandeto make it worse, in 2.4 they tweaked stuff to give Alliance still more of an advantage
18:16.47Amarandeall because of two battlegroups apparently, since in the other 7 Alliance was running even or better in AV

18:41.11Eraclitoas the flag of alliance base graveyard is in front of vanndar, much easier to defend for horde
19:05.09Amarandehm
19:05.18Amarandewhat is blizzard thinking with this "pay $60 to go to 90" thing anyways :|
19:05.33Amarandethat's practically a game destroyer there
19:06.06Amarandehell. even the nickel-and-dime F2P games I've seen, even the more BLATANT of F2P games I've seen (like, say, Aeria's offerings) don't offer "pay this lump sum and jump straight to the cap" features like that :P
19:06.48Amarandethe only other thing I've seen that's even similar is in LOTRO, and that's a $50 clunker that only bumps you up to the ORIGINAL game level cap, not even the first or second expansion's, let alone anywhere close to current cap
19:07.21Amarande(to be equivalent to the WoW service basically, it would have had to bump you up to 85 ... it only bumps you to 50)
19:08.44fewynAmarande the price point is where it's not too expensive yet it is
19:08.53fewynmost users won't use it
19:08.59fewynbecause it's a bit too pricey
19:09.26fewynit'll be useful to those players who want an alt but don't want to slog through 1-90 again
19:09.32fewynbecause it's def a slog
19:09.35fewyni've done it 24 times
19:09.38Amarandeeh
19:09.43Amarandeit's really only a slog from 80-90 or so
19:09.54Amarandeif anything they keep steadily making leveling up TOO fast, in my feelings at least
19:10.17Amarandelet's put it this way, in LOTRO, I've never felt like I'm being marched though the levels so fast I'll run out of things to do
19:10.25Amarandehell, in LOTRO, I've never even managed to hit the level cap yet heh
19:10.34Amarandeand yet, it doesn't feel too slow, either
19:10.59Amarandeactually in many cases it feels like you actually level at a rate that lets you reasonably experience the content without zinging past it
19:11.23JunkHeadnah
19:11.31JunkHead80=90 is the easiest
19:11.34JunkHead80-90
19:11.39Amarandee.g. if you enter Moria at 50, quests will start out at or near level, you don't even really *start* to out level them till about half way through, and even towards the end they're still at least teal level
19:11.42JunkHeadI can't typically get past 40.
19:11.52JunkHeadvanilla leveling is awful.
19:12.00Amarandedo that with a WoW expansion level bracket, quests will start out at or near level & then you rapidly outlevel them
19:13.01Amarandeand yet in a way you still level too fast in vanilla
19:13.21Amarandeever try to experience the Alliance or Horde's story progression through one of the 1-60 continents and manage to actually do it?
19:13.41JunkHeadtried? yes
19:13.41Amarande... me neither, by the time you finish questing in one zone (enough to get the zone quest achieve) you're practically outleveling the next one already too
19:13.45JunkHeadsucceeded? no.
19:14.04Amarandeand more's the pity is you get some areas where you're really meant to do them sequentially together
19:14.05JunkHeadI even made a new character on a new server.
19:14.07Amarandelike the Plaguelands
19:14.12JunkHeadno heirlooms. no ddons
19:14.20JunkHeadi got to like... 20 and quit
19:14.45JunkHeadif you ask me, the paid boosts will not matter.
19:14.54JunkHeadWoD is giving everyone 1 free boost to 90 anyway
19:15.10Amarandeyeah, the big issue with the paid boosts is more likely to be one of baldness in groups
19:15.28Amarandeas in, helping to produce even more people who are trying to run high level LFDs and don't have a clue about their class :|
19:15.42fewynthey have to learn a class somehow
19:15.49fewynyou don't really learn to play your class 1-90
19:16.00JunkHeadi also dont do much outside my guild.
19:16.00Amarandefewyn: that's part of what the leveling experience is for, to introduce you to your abilities over time?
19:16.08fewynhaha
19:16.12JunkHeadand my guildies... i trust them to boost to 90 and figure it out quickly.
19:16.22Amarandeoh, that's another thing
19:16.33Amarandewill we start seeing raiding guilds start putting more pressure on members to shell out the money :|
19:16.37JunkHeadAmarande that's a part of it yeah..... "in theory"
19:16.41fewynAmarande
19:16.48fewynif your guild is going to do that
19:16.50Amarandeespecially given we're talking about WoW here
19:16.50JunkHeadthat also might happen.
19:16.52fewyntime to find a new guild
19:16.54JunkHeadbut who cares
19:16.56fewyni doubt that will happen
19:16.58JunkHeadmy guild wont do that
19:17.00fewynsame
19:17.05JunkHeadmy guild damn sure wont do that shit
19:17.09AmarandeI was afraid of that with the star-lit crystals and such in LOTRO, but there seems to have been very little real pressure among players upon others to buy the advantages
19:17.17Amarandeeven though they are much more measurably real advantages in that case, to boot
19:17.22JunkHeadpeople can do that if they want of course.
19:20.33*** join/#wowhead xythian (~xythian@c-76-115-216-111.hsd1.or.comcast.net)
19:20.37Amarandebut then, we're talking about WoW here
19:20.45AmarandeWoW is a game that's built around end-game raiding as the Big Thing
19:20.56Amarandeand where players take great pride in being as optimal as possible when they do so
19:21.11Amarandeby comparison, raiding is much, much less important in LOTRO to most players
19:25.52JunkHeadI'm willing to wager that everything in LOTRO is less important.:P

19:29.52*** join/#wowhead stolenlegacy (~stolenleg@unaffiliated/stolenlegacy)
19:31.10AmarandeJunkHead: LOTRO is very strongly based around world quests and the epic story questline
19:31.14JunkHeadalso, i never noticed that little icon on the bnet launcher
19:31.28JunkHeadthat if you hover your mouse over it it tells you about maintenance.
19:31.30Amarandesome epic story questlines can require a group, depending on the specific quest and what class/spec you are
19:31.35Amarandebut none ever require a raid
19:31.58AmarandeRaids are strictly side-story matters rather than being centre stage like WoW, although you do get to have fun with things like going to Orthanc and taking on Saruman
19:32.27Amarandeactually, I guess for the particular licence, that raiding model also works much better for other reasons, too
19:33.12Amarandelike letting players have the chance to test their mettle against enemies that SZC would *NEVER* allow to have killed off for real in the storyline
