i fail to see how it is a major issue - only for those who have close to 1000 resources. by doing it that way, we will have buildings up either side of the reset which is fantastic. sure, some people might not get flying because they were relying on resource turn ins, but the fact that the world boss world quest will be up twice for a total of 1000 rep should negate that completely
Seriously - you were talking about not being able to get follower legendaries on your alts - which YOU CAN.

Yeah - that's the problem with people whinging about non problems.
This is ONLY a problem for new characters wondering through the 7.2 questline ... they literally get stuck at the very start of the quest line. The issue isn't about farming rep or getting flying or being capped on resource - it is just a bug that stops new characters progressing at all.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Odds are there is some mechanic that calculates how active the broken shore is and it swings the value of each contribution up or down so that even if the shores are abandoned at some point, they'll still function. With all of US being down for 8 hours it must have compensated for a perceived "abandoned" situation.
You do realize that these millions of AP you are so outraged over will be a fraction of a percent of AP in a few weeks of AK. So realistically if US got 100 mill more AP per toon that would amount to like one mythic plus at that time. That's like a ton of hours of farm condensed into a 20 min arcway 10. Pretty negligible to cry about.

Id did some maths...
If you are getting AP for ToS and farming hard then over the next 7 weeks:
60% of your AP will be earned in weeks 6 and 7.
25% of your AP at that point will be earned in the last 5 days.
3% of your AP at that point will be earned in the first 5 days (i.e. now).
People grinding AP don't get maths

Honestly, I don't quite understand this argument. I mean, if you're going to wait for AK 30 before you turn in your supplies, then why not wait a few more days for AK 31? You'd end up getting roughly another 4m AP (I didn't do the math) by waiting a bit longer before turning them in, so why would you bother turning in your supplies now?
But wait... Since the logical followup to the argument of hording supplies for your next AK level is to continue hording them until the AK level after that, then you're going to be spending supplies only when you're in danger of capping out. Ultimately that means you're going to be turning in 100-200 supplies per day, just like someone who ISN'T hording supplies, but the person who isn't hording doesn't have to worry about accidentally hitting the cap.
TIL that people are still holding on with AP rewarding content until new knowledge comes in, might aswell always stay at 900 War Supplies until AK50. People seriously need to get over this waiting shit, the difference is less than 1% over the long run...
Random question: where do you get the legendary follower items? Do WQs spawn for them, or mission board quests, or is it just a chance to drop from wyrmtongue caches? Also, not sure this is common knowledge (it probably is) but you can get legendaries from those caches...had the ret boots drop today. (Sad, wanted cloak)
Or, people grinding AP want the power increase it gives now. Only 160 guilds have killed mythic Gul'dan. There's a lot of guilds, including mine, that are still trying to finish 10/10 mythic before ToS. AP we grind now means faster and easier boss kills, both on the farm bosses and the progression ones. That means more gear, which will translate to faster progression on Gul'dan AND better capabilities concerning AP farming for ToS once AK actually does get to a decent level.
Also, there's sick fucks like me that actually enjoy the grind. 47 Traits atm, will be 48 on Tuesday or Wednesday.

He probably wants whatever gets him flying the fastest, which would be the 260 if he's willing to farm chests for the difference.
I swear, people on this forum sometimes...
Yeah, but you can farm like 4k rep a day if you hate yourself. More on a low pop server.
I don't know if you're intentionally trying to misrepresent what I'm saying or if you're incapable of considering that other people would farm more than you would farm. Either way, if you want rep, grinding > one time turn ins.

That's fine - but that doesn't magically mean it is a requirement, it still becomes a choice.
He apparently was whinging because the buildings gave it to him faster..... 500 rep for a single boss kill (1 - 2 minutes) would have got 260 rep and flying.

Ok i'll bite...
EU so second class that everything broken in patches is fixed before it goes live there while US have 17 maintenances over the next week.. >.>
The mage tower had already been up, im not sure what the deal is with the command centre but the building itself gave people a follower item... if its *THAT* important to make the EU players feel like they're not hard done by, give them one too.
Complain much? That "millions of AP" won't mean shit when everyone has concordance and you get a fraction of DPS per rank up. Hell it barely matters now. EU also didn't have an outage for hours that we had to pay for (no reimbursement or anything). Giving us a bit of fun with the buildings is hardly compensation.
Oh and just because you care so much about tiny bits of AP: We also get more millions from the CC being up again, so, yeah.
Oh no, you lost out on a tiny bit of Rep that doesn't matter anymore (first time CC was up) and didn't have an hours-long outage you didn't have to pay for, resulting in a bug that means US gets a bit of AP quicker (just means EU will get CC sooner when you guys have more Artifact Knowledge, so it'll balance out).
The "positive" bugs you and OP are referring to are tiny fractions of progression sooner that means NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. You're literally complaining about something that means fuckall because Nighthold is essentially over and none of this will matter when ToS comes out. If you're that upset over not getting a few more mil AP, I don't know what to tell you, but you're not going to find much enjoyment in this game over the negatives.

Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
I never said grinding AP is a requirement. I was saying that some of us that are grinding AP understand how AK works, and we don't care because we are grinding for other reasons than having a lot of AP for ToS.
Concerning rep grinding, you're still not getting it. Stop thinking that you're right, cause you're not. I will go through this very slowly.
@rhomulen Was a fuck ton of rep away from flying.
After exhausting ALL of the non-infinitely repeatable sources of rep, including the world boss, he was still 260 rep away.
rhomulen is now lamenting that he cannot farm for the rest of his rep, because the only infinitely repeatable source of rep, (turning in 100 Legionfall War Supplies) does not work on NA right now.
rhomulen Is aware that if the bug had not occurred he would be further than 260 rep away, due to not having access to the world boss. That lack of rep could be made up for with chest farming though.
Are we all on the same page now or do I have to do an MS Paint version for you and DesMephisto?
