Blue Posts

Guild XP "Top 20 Contributors"
There is no concept of "Top 20 contributors" anymore. We changed that functionality many months ago. XP contributed to the guild comes from all members. Guild rep is always available no matter what amount you have contributed to the guild. (Source)

Guild Rep/XP not awarded in dungeons on beta?
This data did not make the last patch. This functionality should be live in the next build. (Source)

Guild System in Patch 4.0.1
The new guild system UI will be active in the pre-patch but guild experience and guild achievements will be disabled until Cataclysm launch. (Source)

Fan Arts
The official Blizzard Fan Art Section has been updated with 4 new pieces of artwork.

Does this mean that a guild with 500 people will powerlevel like fuck?
Over a guild with 50 members.

What does this mean? Big guilds will level to 25 in a week and small guilds in 2 years? And guild rep is always available no matter how much xp you contribute? So if I do 1 quest a day, I get exalted just as fast as someone who did 100 quests?

[Orrik]

yay camel!

[forsaker]

Ah, nevermind

[Magmaros]

wheres the mage arcanum :<

[Littleraven]

There's an XP cap per day, so not necessarily.

[Zellery]

The healer trinket from Tol Barard sounds crazy. 1900 mastery rating? Do want.

[Fuze]

I think they made it like that so alts can benefit from the rewards. I could be wrong though.

[Winfernal]

Oh, forgot the cap!

[AVPaul]

Ouch... Shoulder enchs are not BOAs??? They mean I'll have to farm this damn rep for every alt I have??? I hate you Blizzard!

[freakpants]

Which is even worse, every guild will reach level 20 on the same day...

[Littleraven]

[Trajer]
