    Horde bike though... from that last shot of it, a few splashes of red and black, and hang a severed
    Night Elf skull from the side- Perfect.
    I want like 4 little gnome heads dangling from each handle..

    They'll prolly just be demonstrated going in a straight line, then be cleaned and put
    on display at Blizz HQ.

    It kind of reminds me of the armor on the swift palomino mount that the alliance has. That has that sort of layered plate armor thing going on.

    I am actually liking the Allaince better(and I am horde!). I mean the horde bike looks kick ass but...when I think of Horde I do not think of Garrosh, I think of more of pre Garrosh kind of look.

    If Blizzard cured cancer, people would complain about nerfed tumors.
    If Blizzard created world peace, people would complain about missing world PvP.
    If Blizzard ended world hunger, people would complain about the decreased difficulty of living and catering to casuals.
    If Blizzard successfully colonized Mars, people would complain about phasing out Earth.
    If Blizzard discovered cold fusion, people would complain that coal needs buffs.
    If Blizzard successfully gave 10 gigabit fiber connections for FREE to every human being on earth, people would get nostalgic for lag.

    If Blizzard created a raid tier with 4 different non-linear raids and 34 different raid bosses, people would complain that they were forced to raid too much to clear each week.
    If Blizzard created a raid tier with 5 bosses and no trash, people would complain that the raid is too short and they have to raid on alts to fill time. (Sound familiar?)

    If Blizzard gave every WoW player a Ferrari for Christmas, people would complain that A. They like <insert other car> better and B. Why does Blizzard not care about <insert other holiday>.
    If Blizzard made WoW free to play but kept the game the exact same, people would complain that they are letting all the casuals in.

    If Blizzard paid for the college educations of every highschool grad in America, people would complain about being 'forced' to go to college.
    If Blizzard paid for anyone who got a 3.5+ GPA in college to go to grad school, people would complain that they are only catering to those with time to devote to their education.

    Should I go on?

    I guarantee you there is not a single thing Blizzard can do that will evoke no measure of complaining from the community, simply because it is impossible to make a decision that millions of people will whole heartedly agree with. It's not just a problem unique to Blizzard, although I have to say their version of it may be the most entertaining.

    Correct on your thinking but this isn't limited to just one game, or even one profession dude. This happens everywhere, if people don't complain or point out problems then how you gonna fix them. Nothing is ever perfect but all you can do is alter the mould due to changes you can't keep on running the same game adding more branches without pruning them otherwise you have a big mess.

    Another problem and real big one with your statement you have to sort out for whinging and complaints. Whinging is only this "Your an idiot" is a whinge, however "This ability is shit cause it locks you for 5 seconds meaning i do nothing" is not is a genuine complaint, cause your removing someone out of combat for 5 seconds when its promoted as a fast action game. "Sure this is nothing but a whinge" no it isn't the problem is presented in a format no savage attacks on anyone and just promotes the problem that's in the game. If its intended they can explain and say well its suppose to be in the game if not they add probably an item to break out of it or make it less effective if spammed cast (SEE mind control problem in WOW).

    You have to be careful when you attack people cause right now you are just a whinger attacking people without fixing up the problem, cause at the moment your saying the game is perfect when it's not, nothing is perfect. Complaint points out a problem or can help other people find a solution or suggest an idea, where as whinging does not (which you reply falls in).

    Ya know... I hate myself for saying this...

    But I Kinda prefer the Alliance bike The Horde bike looks really good, but I think the Alliance bike would look better IN GAME, which is what you really have to think about with these things...

    But I don't mind either way, because my main is horde but I'm leveling an alliance alt as we speak!

    Did I hear Jr. say that "if world of warcraft built bikes this is what it would look like"? I thought we already had a motorcycle in WoW.

    Damn! I was hoping for some more comedy gold this week. Oh well, maybe next week's episode will suck...

    The alliance bike so far and from a few of the drawings on here gives the Paladin Tier 4 feel to me, just because of the brass highlights.

    - So guys we promised faster content but these guys are gonna be stuck with SoO till November ish at best
    - Well we could make something like Ruby Shrine and a dungeon and a scenario to keep them satisfied till then
    - Nooo I wanted to make a super bike forever
    - Dude the players will complain there's nothing new
    - Don't worry in a few months we'll push that button and they'll have to grind more VP to get 8 ilvls on their gear
    - Man you're a total baller, on with the super bikes! RAWRRR

    I thought they said 5 weeks, but there's 8 videos, so in reality it's 8 weeks.

    They can have it done in 5 weeks and just show the episodes over 8 weeks. I doubt building vs shooting is done real time.

    The horde builders are down a man and their bike looks vastly superior to the alliance. You can clearly see which team has the talent.

    Yeah, we're losing so much content because of this. Paul Jr really is wasting his time doing bikes instead of designing raids! >.> <.<

    /sarcasm

    This was by far the best episode yet. The alliance bike is going to look regal with Varian sitting on top, but the horde one is going beast mode!

    I do always avoid posting here because of people like these. People that could get a free house and ask the universe why aren't they getting a whole city.

    Really, this kind of posts makes me want to sat away from comments section, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Reading pages full of this only promotes watching the main page without even reading comments. What for? Theres a ton of people here filled with nonsense rage and a sensation of "you Blizzard must please my ego constantly but also know you're never reaching that goal due to REASONS". Probably the same players that enjoy pulling a whole instance and leaving, and all the kind of unsatisfied childish things we see in game everyday.

    Sad.

    Moving in on topic, I really enjoyed the episode. I'm kind of curious where the Alliance bike is heading to, since so far the Horde one seems to capture more the faction's spirit.
