    Think its more because brawlers guild isn't a instanced thing so they wanna limit the amount of people doing it at any given time do to the fact people would be waiting hours to have there turn.....honestly think they should have just made it instanced or phased and maybe when you walk in you get a random person to watch with multiple queues per phase or something.

    Shaman had some changes long time on the PTR.They just can't add every patch note X up on damage.

    I am sure I will get a lot of negative responses for this but I'll still post my thoughts. It bothers me that Blizzard is nerfing blood dks in this way. I've been asked to do RBGs a few times and carry the flag. I've had a lot of fun with it. It concerns me that they are basically going to stop my viability as a flag carrier in rbgs/bgs etc. I don't really see this being the solution. Maybe reduce the blood shield that you get but not the healing. I just think it's a knee jerk reaction to a lot of whining.

    All of these notes have strikethroughs that are missing.

    So I guess the Brawlers Guild is pay to play. Seems an odd requirement to get in. I more figured they would make a quest chain to prove your worth by defeating X amount of monsters before they let you in. Well that seemed more logical to me. Got gold? You're in!

    oh free 10% speed boost for my WW. very nice.

    awesome! guess all the gold farming sites are gonna have a nice christmas this year with the market going crazy now. Good job blizzard you are only hurting the game economy even more.

    Brawlers Guild invites BMAH, of course some BS method to get in and make it impossible for me to participate because of groups of people pooling money together to buy anything that ends up on the BMAH. Yeaaah.
  1. Shamgar's Avatar
    It's not like you need to buy it from the black market. Once someone buys it, they can invite whomever they please. Their guildies, who invite their friends, and so on. Technically speaking, only one single person would need to buy the invite per faction.

    If by hard you mean expensive yes its hard. SMH at this decision.

    Can't wait for someone to break the monopoly on Brawler's invitations.
  1. Alianthos's Avatar
    Lol at you guys, you really think Blizz is that foolish ? Either its a typo, or its innacurate, but there is NO WAY that the invitation will be sold on the black market like a regular item... Most likely, you will have MANY invitations selling for cheap and everyone will get a shot at it, or maybe there will be an additional vendor LOCATED AT THE BLACK MARKET, dedicated to sell these invitations... Anyway, THINK for yourselves, fools. With Blizzard catering to casuals, LFR and such, dont worry, they will make it accessible to everyone farily easily.

    It is not instanced content, they have to keep admittance down some how, Making it expensive is their way...THINK for yourself.

    This guys pretty right on, they can easily say, its a gold sink, and you get points from gold sink. voila
    anyway, people will probably sell invitations for some crazy amount of gold via joining guilds

    You guys do realize after a week or two, people will just give away free passes, right?

    Anyway, I'm surprised no one else is excited that we can now solo BWL and Viscidus without much trouble now.

    What is this "more responsive"? Anyone knows what isn't 'responsive' about those abilities?

    The Brawler's Guild is only for the 1% it seems
  1. Sontrowa's Avatar
    I'm betting that there are going to be some pretty severe limitations on how a member of the Brawler's Guild can invite another player. I'd wager that there can only be 1 invitation a week and it costs like 5-10k to do so. An amount easy enough to get with farming/dailies but quite a bit to spend on one thing.

    NOT FREAKING COOL! Hey, I know, let's tease Destruction Warlocks with an awesome new spell and animation and then RIP IT FROM THEIR HANDS! It's already the worst Lock speck as it is, why take it away?
