    blizzcon dinner is a scam first they let you win a change to get the tickets then you need to buy them for 500 bucks that got to children

    if blizzard wants to make an impression the use the 100.000 dollar (500$ x 200 tickets) to buy those children a pc with wow installed on it

    Ok, personally, I could care less (yes that is the correct useage, look it up) about who gets the first world kills, but I have to LAUGH OUT LOUD at Blizzard for their futile failure of an attempt to release the dungeon at the same time everywhere and then do it while half the world's servers are down. OLOLOLOLOL

    I'm sorry, and I'm not one of those guys that constantly finds stupid things to criticize Blizzard about (how dare u give hunters MS you ruined eeeeverything I'm quitting if you dont change it back I swear), but this is just hilarious epic fail.

    I'd say that as long as people keep saying "Yay for US worlds first" people will keep pointing out that the US got the kill about 10 hours before the EU servers even got up. If world firsts are important, servers being down is as well.

    Overall I don't think Halion is that big of a deal.

    This fight is not pug friendly... at all. The mini-bosses aren't even pug friendly. Don't think Marrowgar, think Putricide and Sindragosa with no ICC buffs.

    It's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less".

    A moment's logical thought would make you see why the former makes more sense than the latter.

    Another possibility here is to ignore world firsts, USA vs. EU, etc., and raid RS when it comes up and enjoy the game. If it's not enjoyable, don't play.

    As someone else said, that ISN'T the correct usage. If you say "I could care less", then you obviously care to some degree. If you say "I couldn't care less", then you are to the point of where you absolutely do not care. Fail less, good sir.

    Just because it was like that for 2 previous instances doesn't mean it's going to be like that for every instance. Nobody cares about who gets a 12-hour headstart on killing one NPC.

    So the guild that killed him on Normal mode didn't even get a front page look? Sucks to be them, bragging on the forums for nothing. Even our server guild Blood Legion got some show for getting LK down on 10-man regular. Grats to Premo though, glad US got at least something out of this ordeal.

    I think blizz should just take a week off and do whatever it is they need to do to the servers and watch the mass suicides on the news with me, i haz popcorns.

    Making millions of dollars... ye, im sure they did that once.. and maybe still now, by milking this game to the max with

    all these stupid pets / mounts / char possibilities. As said, wow is dying... milking it to the next big MMO

    So ye... blizz, u fail... or do i actualy fail for still paying ur sorry ass for extended maintenances and shitty new content.

    Is this realy the best you can come up with....
    God, sometimes I wish I could just shoot you in the face, dumbass... Just so you know it, MMO-champion is a MINIMAL fraction of the WoW pop, how do you know 80% of the WoW pop hates Wrath? Exactly, you don't... Made up facts FTW amirite asswipe? I just HATE people like you (Inb4 UMADBRO? :P) who make facts up, can't you just say the truth and admit you need a break from WoW? That's it, no need to make crap up.
