    You've been saying this since 2017... and we're all still waiting for this to be true. Maybe you'll get it right eventually.

    I have to wonder whether we will be seeing an anima sink in 9.2.5. already kinda weird that we have not gotten one already in 9.2, but I guess the intention is to use it on other covenants or even other alts.

    There's no real point in entertaining these "the world has changed in a bunch of suspicious ways!" posts because if anything actually had changed it would be all over datamining when it was first changed.

    Looks like somebody mistook muddy water for toxic.

    Not really, I find this pretty cool. But not in a way of trying to fix the lore f*ck ups from Shadowlands.

    I don’t know the NPCs off the bat but if they would have some lines that indicate that they’re Mal‘ganis would be even better and prove that they planned this. But I guess it’s just an afterthought without having been planned for years and years.

    Maybe Jaina was Mal‘ganis too…

    Why would you need both of these?
    - cross realm instances (confirmed) - I hope it will come with option to trade between H/A, this restriction make no sense anyway since WoD when auction house become cross faction
    what the actual fuck are you talking about?
    - new arena (confirmed)
    We just got 2 new arenas.

    Fun in that way i will laugh much about the fact Tyrande forgives Sylvanas for the genocide of her people.

    it will be the most pathetic part of shadowlands lore.
    As far as we've seen, she doesn't "forgive" her. She just chooses a punishment other than immediate execution: Which is apparently the same as forgiveness to most people.

    The question is what are you asking about?

    Are you confused that Auction Houses are cross faction?

    Or are you confused at the proposition that CF instances should allow instance-bound trading?

    They already clarified it won't. You'll be able to trade raid loot with your group but thats it, as clarified by their "non-invasive" premise of maintaining faction integrity. Calling the current raid loot rules "instance-bound trading" is very weird. And they wrote "cross-realm instances" instances are already cross-realm. Server-grouping, etc?

    Although I wish they had the realm & data center visiting FFXIV had, it would be hilariously scummy for WoW to add the ability to visit & group with any realm you wanted, immediately after selling "gratuitous mass-character transfer microtransactions"

He usually follows the same formula for Wowhead news posts, like grabbing screenshots of new models for clicks and stuff.
    Maybe small things but the stuff being claimed in the previous posts are rather a lot to slip past dataminers. Entire new buildings and mobs wouldn't go unnoticed. Also the patch was already on ptr and is now live, so this stuff still would have already been discovered ages ago if it was true.

    Is it not the case that you have to be grouped with these non-same-faction people in order for this to work?

    How then does what you said apply?

    Did they specify "Only trading to members of your faction within the cross faction group"

    Or "Only trading to members of your group?"

    Neither compromise faction barriers.


    And honestly, you're so full of shit.
    Instance Bound Trading is an apt description of it.

    I have to agree.

    That's a great example of making changes that detract from old lore for no reason whatsoever. If you want to show that the Nathrezim are master infiltrators that's cool, but lets not go to meme-worthy levels were anyone can be a dreadlord undetected.

    Except that's not what you're supposed to glean from the encounter. Twitter gives you brain worms. They also turn into your player character: Do you think the Dreadlords were also your personal character all this time?

    Them knowing certain people and their visage implies that they have at one point in time or another impersonated or interacted with them. Unless they can now observe people from a distance as well, which would just add to the comical powers being ascribed to them.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    Leave it to the WoW community to overanalyze a nice and funny little throwback to old bosses by acting like it ruins the lore or is anything more than that.

    Wasn't an issue when Paletress did it, why is it an issue now?

    That seems more like a baseline capability you would expect from them, really. I mean, that's pretty much literally part of their job description as spies and infiltrators, and we know communication magic exists in-universe.

    Discussion with this person is completely pointless. Ersula will argue even about simple facts that can be checked on google.

    Yeah especially when you're wrong.

    Except that its a loot system based on loot credit, and remains tradable when you leave or reset the instance. Making the "instance" part not a qualifier of the system at all.

    If they could just observe people from a distance villy-nilly, then they may as well be practically omniscent as a species. That is something one should refrain from when it comes to writing antagonists, unless they are literal gods observing the struggles of mortals. You put yourself in a corner there as you make it practically unfeasible to mount a resinstance to their plans, because they could always prepare a counter-measure. While a good writer could deal with such villains, WoW simply does not have the format to make something satisfying out of that. At best you are stuck with a massive plothole whenever you do get the better of them.

    Send me video footage proof of you acquiring Bind of Pick-Up raid loot items, and trading them with people who did not attend the instance with you.

    You'll find that skyblue-text won't let you, and that only grouped players who attended the instance with you can be traded to.

    I think to take it further, isn't it boss-specific? I've just assumed that part in particular, makes sense following the trend.
