Netherwing Faction in 3.0.8A very small note about the Netherwing Dragonflight, leveling your reputation with this faction is now slightly easier because of the changes mades to two daily quests: That's probably a good news now that most of the players are trying to get 100 Mounts for a cute Dragonhawk Mount. Below are 2 screenshots of the reward for the 100 mounts achievement because it seems that I never posted the horde version, Alliance players will get the blue dragonhawk and Horde players the red one. Blue postsLunar Festival - "Elder" title requires level 80The world event in and of itself is available to all levels and is one of the more accessible holidays. You can participate in more or less every aspect of the holiday itself, even if you're not 80. The achievements aren't considered an integral part of that holiday accessibility. They are meant to be marks of what you have achieved during the holiday. Visiting all the elders is indeed an achievement, and we see no problem with some achievements for the holidays requiring a certain level, as they are not mandatory for participation in the actual event. ( Source) More crowd control will be required in future raid instancesThere will be more CC in the future. We don't want every pull to require months of planning, and sometimes burning down large groups can be fun. But remember Noxromulus was designed to be approachable and puggable. It will get harder from here on out. ( Source) Haste for melee classesHaste is a worthwhile stat to some casters but it is not useful for many melee. We are trying some different things to make it more apealing. ( Source) Armor PenetrationArmor Pen I think is just undertuned. It is a good stat in general, but the amount of +armor pen you need to get to something noticeable is too high. We would like to buff it. ( Source) Glancing BlowsGlancing blows are something you are not likely to see go away. They are a big tool we use to balance melee versus bosses. ( Source) Druid ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Ferocious Bite burst in PvPFerocious Bite is on our list of "probably too bursty in PvP." It's at the bottom of the list, but we will still likely chill it out a little. ( Source) Feral - Cat DPSCats might be falling behind other melee classes. This is something we are monitoring and discussing. There are some new glyphs coming in 3.1 which are more PvE-oriented and that might help some. The cat rotation can be complicated, but at the moment we're okay with that. If you play a little sloppy with the rotation (e.g. ignoring Rake sometimes or not keeping Rip up 100%) you generally just suffer a dps loss rather than the whole thing collapsing down around you. Swipe (Cat). Yum. ( Source) Hunter ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Beast MasteryWell put, and that's what we want too. BM was the highest spec before by a considerable margin (and has been for a few years). If it is too low now, we will buff it. It is challenging with dps classes to get the numbers within 1% of each other. But if they are close enough, then it won't matter for the majority of players, who can then play whatever matches their playstyle the best. Those players who always want the highest dps at any cost will respec for even a marginal dps gain, and we can live with that. For 95% of guilds though, that marginal dps increase is not what is standing between success and failure. There are very few moments in the history of the game where a few dps was the difference between success and failure for all but the most cutting edge of guilds. But first we just have to get all the specs to be marginally different from each other. ( Source) Rogue ( Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.) Combat specCombat definitely needs a buff. We don't want to go back to where every PvE rogue goes that route (and many leveling too) but its dps is too far behing Assassination. ( Source)

I really want to see that ^^ edit: First! .. well what I really edited for (well ok for the first thingie to) is.. that I've seen more and more new items with - Armor Penetration, examples the ones from WG and such. But tbh, it will take quite long to reach any good amount as said, that will make any difference atm.

Combat spec Combat definitely needs a buff. We don't want to go back to where every PvE rogue goes that route (and many leveling too) That makes me sad, I love combat spec and I would prefer it to be on par with Ass, right now it's far behind and from this I can see that Blizz actualy wants it to stay behind a little.

So... where's the shadowpriest PvP changes? I don't care if they chose not to mention them, they know something needs to be done.

Reputation grinds and class balance are all minor issues compared to the lag issues that some/many realms (at least in EU) are facing in Naxxramas (at least 25-man). Blizzard has said it would require a patch to fix the problems. It's possible that 3.0.8 did fix some issues, but apparently not all the problems. So please, Blizz, make another patch or whatever it takes to fix it. I could live with having a broken class, but it's not okay when the game itself is broken.

Ah the days... when getting the drake from Netherwing meant doing dailies for good 20 days (if you were a true sucker for eggs... sucker for eggs... wait what?). Anyways, it seems nowadays, Blizzard just goes with the flow, eliminating any old school (annoying as bullcrap) achievement for players... it pains a little but hey, you get a free mount now! so FTW!

Who?
From what I could gather it's a joke from http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14287218885

We like macros (obviously, or we wouldn’t have them in the game), but we like for them to simplify chains of things that you have to do often without making decisions in between point A and B. We don’t like it when playing your class becomes how clever your macro can be to the point at which you are pushing one button to play your class. That’s not playing an RPG -- that’s programming a robot. (Source)

Aha, that thread was great. For the Netherwing Changes, how much easier will the mount be to obtain? I never got one in TBC because I didn't want to grind it out. Thanks.
