I think everyone agrees that once you've reached max level, getting gear is the new game. Players stop counting dings and start counting gear score. In reality, gear only gets a character 80% of the way to being able to raid or PvP competitively, without factoring in the Gear vs Skill debate. Considering that gear is essentially non-obtainable using gold, that leaves 20% for the gold sellers to fill in for the high-level WoW crowd.
Turns out Blizzard found ways to cut out the external gold seller here too.

And Just Like That
Seth popped back into existence again. He has a habit of doing that. One minute he's there, the next he's gone. Well, he is a rogue after all.
The updates here have been a little thin. Partially because I've got serious writer's block on my series, but mostly I just haven't had much to talk about. Things were pretty status quo until yesterday, when that crazy rogue popped out of stealth.
The march of badges goes on. Had some issues picking up the weekly, which is annoying. Some drama in the guild, but that's normal. Anyone who claims to be in any oranization that has no drama is a liar, liar, pants on fire. We can tear through the first wing of ICC with no problem, as long as we don't have people going AFK all the time.
Working on my drood some. If I can burn off her rest bonus regularly it should go fast. I think I'm gonna make her a boomkin at 80, and second spec tank. I'll probably be lousy at both, but that's what alts are for, heh.
That's about it. Nothing special really. I'll get on that series this weekend.

WoW Real Money Transfers Part One: Badges and Tokens and Trophys, Oh My!
"Welcome to SusanExpress.com we have the greatest deals $15 for 5k gold..." "Level 1-70 in seven days! Safe, Discreet, and Fast"
How many of these have you ignored or reported in the last month? One? Five? Twenty? Have you seen that pile of 200 Level 1 Tauren on the ground outside the Auction House? It's annoying and common, but Blizzard has put up a good fight against black market trade in gold, items, and maximum level characters.

Superpowers for Good (and not for awesome)
WoW.com Breakfast Topic What intangible qualities do you bring to a raid?
My raid superpower is multitasking. One of the things I've always been able to do, in gaming and in life, is step back and look at the overall picture, then focus down on what I need to do to meet that larger goal. This usually requires me to queue three spells up in my head while I strafe left out of the fire and yell at the huntard for standing in said fire. Here's how I got to the point where I can use my superpowers for good (and not for awesome).

The Only Thing Constant is Change
So I went and got myself promoted to officer. It's been 6 months plus since I was an active officer. Apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time.
