Update 2 : Added an important blue post about rating requirements on Season 3 items when the season 4 starts, right after the Inscription ! Update : Added today's news, including a very small preview of the expansion new profession : Inscription. Epic gems for Badges of Justice in 2.4The items sold by Shaani have been updated on PTRs, she now sells all the raw epic gems for 15 badges ! WotLK - Inscription on PTR ?Well, not really the whole inscription professions, but it looks like an inscription spell made it to the 2.4 Test servers : [spell=35043] ! Note that this is the rank 3 of the spell. Rating requirements will remain on Season 3 itemsRating requirements will probably remain on Season 3 items even after the beginning of Season 4, but they will be lowered. Q: Will the ratings requirements be removed on the s3 weapons and shoulders next season?
A: No, and this is new information as far as I'm aware, but the ratings will remain, however they will likely be lowered. Previously we had stated that the ratings would only apply to the current season's items, but that's no longer the current thinking or plans. As it stands currently the rating requirements will remain, but they'll be lowered as the new season's items are introduced. It looks like changing members of your team during the 2nd stage of the Arena Tournament will get you a 150 Team Rating penalty. Right now on the TTR when you change members of a team the team rating is penalized 150 points. When the real Tournament Realm season starts this will only occur during the second stage of the arena season. We can not put the vendors in instances because there is no instance server on the TTR. The hardware normally devoted to instances in normal realms is devoted to additional arena space for the Tournament Realms. As I've said before, the hardware and configuration for the arena realm is brand new. Please be patient while we work out the kinks. A few things are getting changed in TTR to make it more enjoyable for everyone. Based on observation and player feedback we will be making some changes to the TTR starting areas to make the NPCs more accessible to everyone. These changes may not make it into the next 2.4 PTR build update but they should definitely be in the following one.
They're working on the changes right now, I haven't seen them so I really don't know what they're doing yet. And there is no intention of ever allowing world PVP on the Tournament Realms. These realms are for the single purpose of supporting the arena tournaments.

That could come in handy as the new gems are pretty tasty, the list of badge loot is getting longer and longer  1st :S |

Never thought about this as a possibility, but now it's here I have to say it's a pretty damn nice idea.

Urgh. While I'm very glad to see them added in for badges, I really dislike doing so many heroics over and over and over and over for them. *le sigh* And yes, I know, Kara. Blah blah whatever. I'm glad more bosses will drop badges after the patch.

Q: What’s Deathwing’s current relationship with the Old Gods?
A: In facebook terms, I'd list it as "It's Complicated". "Single" or "Married" are probably too extreme in this case.
Q: Will Alliance ever get an ingame band like the Hordes L80ETC?
A: Sure, if somebody knows of an awesome Alliance band...
Q: When do hunters get to tame druids?
A: Right after druids get a hunter form.

I like the idea BUT for one thing... Even tho Badges drop from every bosses now, Kara still is the most Badge/hr you can get. My guild clears Kara in about 3h30. So 3h30 for 22 badges... I pray for the day blizz implements a 'super-exalted' status, where no mobs are hostile to you... this way i wont have to tank Kara for the 3948th time  Make 25mans give more badge than Kara, and ill be an happy man. (My guild is in TK right now, Al'ar just downed. Peeps still need badges for the current and upcomming rewards, so have 2 to 3 groups going to kara each week...) |

Clear karazhan with mixed alts/mains a couple of times a week on my various chars, each run only takes about 1h20 to 1h30, then a couple of ZA mount runs, adds up to 35/week on each char. then god knows how many for my main on 25mans, farming BT and hopefully?  sunwell Not a problem when i got over 400 already in the bank on my main lol. Bring on the gemmage!! |

15 badges per gem isnt gonna ruin your prospecting business budddy. People with Heroic/Kara/Gruul epics wont spend that much badges on gem, they'll still buy your blue gems, no worries. |

Bring on the gemmage!! Have WWS'es of your 1h30 Kara clear? Id really like to see that, i really wonder how you manage that. With a DPS uptime above 60% my guild only does 3h30. Can't bring DPS uptime to 100%, so ... gimme your trick, i want it... id like to spend less time there |
