The New Looing For Raid Exploit

In case you were wondering what this exploit was but keep getting "This post has been deleted" in the official forums here is an explanation I saw before it was deleted.

I am putting it up here so Blizz have to stop deleting posts and get on with fixing it quick otherwise it's going to be a complete farce of a race to world first Deathwing HC kill.

"When you run a full 25man LFR with your guild and you kill those 4 bosses the looting for your guild is over for that week from that LFR , not really...!
The trick is you swap out some people 1 cloth, 1 leather, 1 mail, 1 plate ( Alt chars, or other members )

Than you go again in the LFR and those people who just came in the raid can see every loot, so they loot everything, than they can trade it to those people who were and done the LFR once.
So you can FARM the LFR until your guild got no more Alt/members who can jump in for the loot.

I have seen certain members with several Raid Finder gear... from the same boss.

I hope Blizzard doesn't turn their head away from this and say they didn't see/know it was happening"

Not that the whole world reads my little blog, but Blizztards can't ignore/delete it like they're ignoring their Steam Pile of Shite Void Storage Fuck Up!

Patch 4.3 - Day #2 Report

In 2 days I've made 50,000 gold from Jewelcrafting and bugger all from inscription.

JC posting was easy with the 5.13 Beat version of Auctioneer but glyph posting just wasn't happening.

In the end I got the latest TSM installed and working and the glyphs posted. We'll see the results of that tomorrow.

Nearly run out of gems to sell though, I reckon by the end of tomorrow I will have zero rubies in stock.

Maybe I won't post in anticipation of a further spike when other sellers run out of gems too.

Void Storage is Practically Useless (read: CRAP)

So it turns out that out that you won't be moving a whole helluva lot from your bank to the void storage unit.

Why? Because you can't put "Unique" items in it.

Now, I don't know about you but most of the stuff I want to put into void storage not only meets the criteria set out by BlizzTards:

"...isn't to be a second bank, but rather a place where players can safely store items they wish to keep for the life of the game, either for sentimental or aesthetic reasons..."

But also the exclusion criteria of being "Unique"

To me that means tabards (which I'm collecting) - BUT MOST ARE UNIQUE - so won't go into void storage.

And also all kinds of world event items like pilgrims clothes etc - BUT MOST ARE UNIQUE - so won't go into void storage.

And also many different quest rewards from Vanilla and TBC - BUT MOST ARE UNIQUE - so won't go into void storage.

I guess it's because if it's in void storage it's not allocated to your character so you could potentially loot another item, hence the reason for stripping off all identifying characteristics.

But it must still be held by an item id in the bank and therefore is only a quick scan of an 80 odd element array of item IDs when doing a look up of equipped items, bag items and bank items when looting an item, surely?

What kind of crack were BlizzTards smoking when they implemented this?

They have taken a great idea and turned it into a steaming pile of dog Shite. Fucking imbeciles.

Today I hit 2 Million Gold purely from inscription - Looking into doing an interview for wowecon.

Tinfoil Hats. Subtitle: Just Because You're Paranoid Doesn't Mean The Bastards Aren't Out to Get You!

This was gonna be a comment on Critical's Apology Post about his Gold Queen: Are We Being Played? Post, but got so long I thought I'd post on my blog.

Critical, I can't believe you apologised. I can read English. I can understand that you were not addressing the rape suggestions, but rather the commercialisation of it subsequently by third parties.

Did all these critical-bashing band-wagon jumpers even read the original post?

I, like you, wish I could find the other 4 rapists and deal with them in whatever way possible and in no way want to trivialise or deny the rape happened.

I can't imagine the hell and anguish that the victim is going through and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

But I can see that your post was questioning the caretakers actions whilst the victim was in hospital.

I have seen not one shred of proof in any of the comments or posts that definatively ties TGQ to the poor poor victim or not; and just because you're wearing a tinfoil hat does not mean to say there are no conspirators out there.

Was it even the TGQ making the original RL post?

How many 'British' women use a 'cell' phone? None that I know?

When did it happen? The linked news site says 27 October but the post on 7th November says last week; either way there were 2 normal posts dated 1st and 2nd when TGQ was supposedly in hospital.

Maybe marcko1 was caught out by the real TGQ making her RL post on 7th.

Who knows? Will we ever find out? Probably not.

But the point remains; Critical was questioning the post-incident commercialisation of TGQ.

Westfall Hallow's End Bucket and 2011 Guide

I'd heard that due to phasing you couldn't get the bucket in Westfall. If this was true then it has now been fixed. The Hallows End bucket is located in the tower.

Good Luck, I'm not going to re-hash My Hallow's End Guide this year, it's pretty similar, bar the inn keepers don't give treats but an inanimate pumkin does, and QQs win again and the PvP section is 10HK rather than 50 HK.

Worth a read, it's funny. Go On.
