All the screams of "WoW is dying" is just stupid to me. Their numbers keep going up, how do you explain that? Personally I get really tired of WoW, wait let me rephrase that, personally I get tired of the morons I have to put with when I play WoW. Morons who think that they are entitled something, morons who whimper about the old days when they were screaming about how boring MC was and how they wanted to claw their eyes out. I wish you people could hear/read what you say/post sometimes.

Can you loot Illidari marks from sunwell ? Do the flasks work in there ?

It's going to be a big boost to Herbalism if not ^^

Resilience affecting mana drain is nice, but a larger mitigation would be better.

If it drains for 1000, assuming you have full pvp gear, you'll still get drained 800 mana.

That's quite a lot. But it's better than the current state at least.

Don't care about the nether vortex's. I don't even know what they're used for.
