Holy moly, they are adding pvp vendors back in.

Is this a dream? is this reality?

[FlubberPuddy]

It's happening...

This was originally planned to be a video. And to come just a bit sooner.

Knew they wanted to make it an event!

Glad to see them ramping up what'll be added during April alone! Also the class changes are in which is going to be so good!

[graysontum]

I think hes referring to the new alliance 1-10 starting zone? the one they talked about at blizzcon

Is this a dream? is this reality?

They finally think we're ready to handle the daunting task of locating a PvP vendor.

So only active accounts will be invited.

the smell of money is above all.

Yeah, that definitely makes the most sense. definitely seemed like that opening would be Faction specific.

Why would you invite people who aren't actively playing the game?

Not being funny, but people who are currently playing the game should be the ones to test it. The end.

I've raided since Vanilla WoW. I have NEVER been in a raiding guild that didn't use Master Loot. Even in BFA we have done our best to get around this shit ass system they forced on us.

Er, dude, hate to break it to you but you're in a raiding guild that doesn't use Master Loot, because they got rid of that a while back.

So yeah that first line? Not true.

Also, and...? Anecdotal experience doesn't mean much. People used forms of ML up to and into Cataclysm because that was what you had, essentially, for distributing loot. Individual guilds had methods from the loose ("roll if it's an upgrade for your main spec") to straightforward Dragon Kill Points systems, to arcane Loot Council-type systems on top of that. In my experience, after TBC, most guilds were using looser methods. By the end of WotLK I hadn't see DKP-type deals in a guild for a while, let alone Loot Council.

Once personal loot came in, you gradually got more and more guilds, over the years, moving to that. By the time Legion rolled around, only really three kinds of guilds were still using ML. Those were Mythic raiders (where it's understandable), bad Heroic raiders who desperately cargo-cult Mythic raiders (where it's laughable), and the few really old guilds who were still around who'd resolutely stuck with systems like DKP and Loot Council, out of stubborn tradition (who are very few in number). It was easier for Blizzard to deal with, and in line with what they wanted.

Are you a Mythic raider? Because if not, I have great difficulty feeling complaints about the loss of ML have any validity from you.

Except he said it'd be alpha today and playable later in the week, and also playable alpha last week and also before that.

Except thats not what he said. He said the 2nd week of March that there would be no alpha in March, then last week he said there would be no alpha on April 1st or 2nd or this weekend and specifically said to look forward to April 6, 7, 8, and 9. So boom, he was pretty spot on. Give the guy credit, he's been right time and time again

Players of all 12 classes will immediately see changes in their Spellbooks, Talents, and in some cases even their resources.

Probably the most interesting part.

[Sondrelk]

Above they mention how they have added 3D trackers, so i guess they simply needed to ensure the waypoint technology was there before they let the players back int othe maze of PvP vendors.

It makes complete sense. What a bizarre thing to complain about.

[Raetary]

Yes, and that is how it should be.

[Justreading]

Anyone else feel like they really are trying to prove they are listening to us?

[therumblings]

Slips out of the Fourth Dimension

Dataminable build today please Ion?

"Why isn't blizzard inviting people who have played this game for a considerate amount of time?? SMH Blizzard inviting all these scrubs to alpha"
"WHAT?! You're inviting long-standing players to the alpha?! Inconceivable"

[Makorus]

Probably the most interesting part.

Got a feeling Fire/Frost Mages will finally lose Mana.

[EbaumsTipster]

Didn't someone mention that Paladin resources went back to their old self?

[WorcesterSauce]

Probably the most interesting part.

Shamans????
