That's so not acceptable I don't even...
I have a million gold (literally) and make 10x what I make from dailies every day on the AH. They're need to up the rewards you get from them a little bit and remove any item gating. That way all the casuals who consider dailies to be content can farm them to their heart's content and be rewarded for doing so and the resto of us who just want to raid can do that instead.

Maybe I've missed sarcasm here drawn from earlier posts, but ...Me'dan has no correlation to TBC expansion. Nothing established there was used to create the character.
SSC, Hyjal, and TK were crap? The blood elf vs draenei war with blood elf defectors was crap? IoQ was crap?
Flying mounts, daily quests, heroics, jewelcrafting, 10 man raids were all crap on top of crap?
But again, I will acknowledge maybe I'm seeing this post which is part of a chain of discussions and missing a lot of context and possible sarcasm.
I may have misread something somewhere but, I was under the impression that, only items purchased with valour points to begin with could be upgraded in this way ?so its the day of the big patch theres a brand new raid and me and my raiding buddies are decked out in our heroic raid gear from last tier and in the normal raid one of my pieces drop right now its about the same as my heroic piece from last tier however i am valor capped from last week so i can then upgrade this piece twice making it tons stronger then my old piece meaning boss drops are still more important despite the fact that i can upgrade my heroic raid gear with valor however for the patch i obtain it in valor is a huge boon of stats and is incredibly rewarding FOR THAT PATCH AND IN NO WAY DEVALUES GEAR FROM THE NEXT PATCH.
me'dan is the quarter orc quarter draenei half human offspring of garona halforcen and medivh. he is a direct result of the pile of crap lore that was the burning crusade and it along with kael'thas and illidan is the reason bc will always be a failure and yes all of those raids were failures flying mounts were nice as well but over all the entire expansion was crap

Again we differ, I think the most important part is to reduce the weekly time commitment needed to cap valor no matter which way you choose, and have a much higher percentage of the weekly valor cap come from actually raiding successfully on normal or heroic difficulty. I'm personally invested in this because my playtime outside of raidtime is extremely limited and I dislike that it is currently essentially all devoted to capping valor, and that will become even more critical when the upgrade system comes into effect.
I don't think with the upgrade system that there is need for current tier valor gear to be above LFR level and the original intention of badges way back when was to offset cases of really bad luck and provide some inevitability in gearing up, which I think should be preserved and can be through the use of a mechanic already in the game in elder charms of good fortune.
Um...
Medivh is from Warcraft RTS.
Garona is from Warcraft RTS.
Garona has always been half orc.
With the exception of specifying draenei, TBC is completely unnecessary for them to have created Me'dan. Granted, I dislike the character too, but there's nothing tying him to that expansion.
Sounds like you didn't like how the expansion handled Kael'thas and Illidan so you write off the entire expansion as a failure. Which is fine, but that's just, like, your opinion...man.
But this thread isn't really about TBC and its merits or flaws, so I'll shush now.
Utterly, irrevocably priceless, you sir, are a classic.

No, No, No, a thousand times No, Cata babies cried and cried that they didn't have anything to do, Well now buck up, you DO.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
It is sad that you dislike TBC, but it was made for different kind of people. And WoW should have stay this way, building on what it had, instead of getting everything thrown into trash can, and rebuilding it for completely different kind of people.
I would take TBC raids anytime over tunnel-boss design, ovely accented on boss-fights rather than on actual raid design and layout. But anyway, it is hard to see point in discussing current WoW issues with someone who calls TBC a crap.and yes all of those raids were failures flying mounts were nice as well but over all the entire expansion was crap
garonas backstory was changed so that she was nolonger half human and half orc to be that of the offspring of a draenei who was raped by an orc the entire romance between her and medivh and the change of her backstory was a way to be able to create an omnipowerful character that can wield all magic.
it could be said that whether or not blizzard retconned the draenei me'dan wouldve still been created as a character i still think that the retcon of the draenei and the eredar and sargeras and garona and the lack of character development or explanation for anything in bc was a huge factor in all of this and that me'dans character wouldnt have been as bad if they didnt try to tie him into all the crappy retcons and just made him a quarter orc and 3 quarters human.

As it stands I am off playing xcom from saturday til tuesday when everything resets. Once I feel that I have upgraded my main as far as I can without fishing in a raid boss barrel for the one or two items I need that don't seem to want to drop I will break out one of my 3 alts that are 85 and start them up. I personally hate dailies and I also hate doing content over again, especially over again 4 times in a row.
That being said, I would rather have too much to do on my main for a whole week than have so little to do that I have time to run all 4 characters through LFR and valor cap all 4 in one week. Thats what I was doing in Cata, even as a Casual I could valor cap and raid cap at least 3 of the 4 characters in a week on 11-12 hours a week. I can completely understand why hardcores quit after 2 months of having nothing to do in cata.
Nope. Just thought the basic principal was understood. When the gear was locked behind rep then, gold was the only reward from dailies and you would use gold to buy gear. Now gear is locked behind rep and is purchased for VP. Each daily awards VP and gold. You are spending a currency for a piece of gear that is gated behind rep. It's basic Algebra. You replace XYZ with VP, Heroic Gear, Exlated or with Gold, Heroic Gear, Exalted. Same thing bud. You should stop trolling. You're not very good at it

hello i started playing in bc when in order to gain rep you needed to farm a specific dungeon to get rep - hated it as you were forced into 2-3 dungeons for specific faction rep
i played through when there were more dailies but there was also the tabard- i liked this as i had the option of choosing the the method i used to farm rep
i played through cata it was all tabards and not enough dailies- there wasn't much option for rep farming
i'm playing in mop too many dailies no tabard- dont like it as im forced into dailies for my rep, thankfully im almost done with the rep
see the problem here its not that people fell forced to do them but if they want the rep they "must do dailies" my solution is this
put the tabards at revered make them account bound and have them give the same amount of rep per day as u can get from doing their factions dailies and no more
there for if you want to do dailes you can if u dont want to they dont

The dailys are boring because the factions exists just because to offer dailys, those dont have any good story about them.
