While you can master loot or free-for-all loot gear and drops, is it possible to have one person loot all the gold while in a group?

I'm currently working on getting the "loot 25,000 gold" achievement and justdbear and I have a few plans on killing some things that drop a lot of gold (world bosses, raids, etc). We have looting on free-for-all and I pick up everything to vendor/AH, but the gold is always split between us. She has no problems with me looting all the gold (since I have no problems giving her any gold she needs since we do this all the time) but obviously it's going to take twice as long if we're splitting gold down the middle!

So far, the only solution we have is dropping group and letting me loot right after a boss kill, then reinviting back. This will work for bosses, but can be a pain, and doesn't do any good when doing an instance run. We tried going through the looting options, but free-for-all doesn't work, and nothing else seems to jump out.

Suggestions on how to maximize this so I can hit that achievement sooner rather than later?

I rolled a DK the other day to help my b/f out on his alliance toon. (All my Alli toons are 30 and below XD), and I decided to keep her (shocker on my part). So I trundled along and was working on power-leveling my skinning and herbalizing on the outskirts of Goldshire, when my baby kitten comes hopping up on the desk. He steps on my keyboard, jumps on my mouse and next thing I know, the guy I was about to go kill was dead. X3

My kitten had targeted, attacked and killed an NPC xD
It sounds stupid, but it made my day.

Ever since unexpected updates this week, WoW has hit latency hell for me (I've logged latencies of over 9000, no joke). This has led to some rather inconvenient d/cs in the middle of raids and instances. A few of my other guildies have been experiencing the same issues.
Has anyone else? Does anyone know how to correct this?

Alright. In my main guild we have a guy who...is being a childish prick for lack of better terms at this time.

Originally he was a warrior. Then he was a warlock. Then he was a shaman HEALER. Then he was a death knight TANK. Now he's a priest.

A horribly under-geared healer.

Here's the amusing part.

His shaman was one of our main healers originally correct? Not anymore. In a fit of random rage he faction transferred his healer (because he wanted to apparently raid on his "MAIN TANK" now) and joined another raiding guild on the Horde. Just did this randomly. He came on after he had already done it and said that he was sick of not being able to raid on the toon he wanted (which had hit eighty less than a week beforehand).

Now I'm all for wanting to raid on a specific toon. I'd honestly love to hit up a few raids on my boomkin instead of my priest. Yet keep this in mind. He's raided on all of his toons as MAINS. He's simply switched mains all of those times after receiving raid loot upgrades. He hits eighty on his DK and says that he wants to be one of the main tanks of the guild regardless of the fact that we were already primarily filled out on tanks. We have three well geared and skilled tanks (as well as a few people with great tank alts as well). To take away one of our healers, something we needed, for a tank that we didn't need? Not nice.

All he got, by the way, for faction switching his shaman was a slap on the wrist.

He came crawling back to the guild the day afterward saying that he'd been off his medications (a lot of them) and over-reacted. Forgive me for being callous but having someone who's moods hinge solely on whether or not he's had his pills as one of our main tanks is not a pleasant idea.

Anyway, last night was the Ony/ToC run for the week. He was not one of the designated tanks and he threw a FIT. He jumped onto our raid leader who, quite frankly, has more than enough to deal with without listening to his little bitch fit.

He honestly feels entitled to go on the runs even after switching mains four or five times and after faction transferring his healer to ensure that he couldn't heal for us.

-Fume.-

And the fact that he's just getting a little smack on the wrist and told, "Don't do it again...I guess." is more frustrating than anything.

EDIT:

I apologize for how I phrased the medication comment.

I meant more that he seems to blame all of his problems simply on his meds. If he is off of them he acts like he's completely insane, he has horrible mood swings, etc. When he's on them he's decently fine but still an immature brat.

I'm getting my 80th level resto gear together, when I glance briefly at what I need for the Superior achievement, you know items of 187 etc in each slot.....One of the items counted is ranged. But I don't have that option. Does this mean I'll never get the achievement? *pouts*

Edit: Thanks all - just hadn't twigged that the idol slot would count!

...had problems logging into the official forums?

For days now, every time I try all I get is a "Server error." page.

I bet you wish you were a part of the ( moonkin flash mob and parade )

And done! And guild is created! :)

Thanks, everyone; as usual, you rock!

Seriously, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?

On my server (Thunderhorn) at least, it's the Droods that get all the rare mounts. I see them on Raven Lords, on those White Chicken things...I've seen two different Tauren Droods on the Time Lost Drake, a Nelf one on an Azure, with the super rare Proto-drakes, the arena tourney drakes...my husband has a bunch of rare ones and he's a drood, too.

I swear, you guys must have really epic rollz, epic pvp skillz, or just are that damn dedicated, because I don't see other classes very often with those babies.

/ends jealousy rant and rerolls a drood

(this was all in jest. I really do love you guys. <3)

Pretty unlucky day right?

NOPE!


Rolled a 99 on it lolol.

( Couple moar: )

And LFM Screenshots! has been updated for your viewing pleasure! Featuring a little Ulduar and more Outlands shots, because you can never have enough Outlands! (unless you're leveling a disc priest through it asdffgsg)

So yeah, I admit I have a twisted sense of humor. I finally game up with a name to reserve for my future rogue in Cataclysm: Gutenworgen. Oddly enough, it wasn't already taken! Now I come to you ladies (and gents) for suggestions for a fury warrior, also to be worgen. Your ideas are most welcome.

I posted this on the WoW RPing forums, but I'm not sure if I'll just get mocked there and I'd like a few more opinions then just those that browse the Official WoW Forums.

I am currently in plans to turn my BE Warlock into a Forsaken. I wish to keep the backstory, the name, etc, but I am unsure of much Undead Lore, mostly about the process that turns someone into a forsaken.

My question is: How do forsaken become forsaken? Do they just die and are raised by luck/magic/pure chance? I've heard they have to have the plague when they die to become forsaken? Is this true or false as I could not find anything about it on wowwiki.com outside of standard lore/history.

My current thinking is my warlock died fighting something in Northrend. Her body was found and dumped in an unmarked grave and from there she rose to life as Undead. Would this work out ultimately or is my thinking flawed?

Thanks for any and all help!!!

What sort of buff/debuff mod do you use, if any? (To display the current (de)buffs on you and their timers.)

Do you use any particular addon for applying buffs to raid members?

------------------------------

A lot of people here have recommended Shadowed Unit Frames, so I'm giving it a whirl. So far, I'm finding it a lot more user-friendly than Pitbull4, but I've got two concerns:

Does anyone know if there's a way to enable my mana bar to be shown while in druid forms? I form-jump a lot when I'm in battlegrounds, I need to be able to track my mana. Right now, I'm running blind. D:

Also, does anyone know if you can somehow apply textures to bars to pretty them up a bit? Pitbull offered a little variety in the way of textures, but I'm not sure how (if it can be done) to do this in SUF.

I apologize, I know this isn't UI Mod Monday, but I do most of my gaming on the weekends and these are the pressing questions! :)

My husband and I and housemate have all been unable to log in this evening. The weird part is, we were all able to play after this morning's patch just fine. Now, it hangs on "Success!" on the login screen. If I click Cancel after a bit, it shows me a partial realm list. If I click on one and click, Okay, it crashes hard.

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception
Program: C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe

And of course worldofwarcraft.com won't load at all.

So I dusted off this druid of mine. She's level 45. I started her ages ago, even before the OL expac came out. Back then, she had three sets of gear; tank, dps, and heals. She was always mainly feral spec'd with a few points in heals so when I solo'd I could heal myself at least. I ran SM more times than I can count to get all the primo lvl 40ish leather goodies outta there I could. I don't recall tanking a whole lot though...

The other day, I tanked ZF with her. I was with a 49 hunter, a 46 s priest, a 46 reg priest and a shammy, lower lvl than me. I could not hold aggro to save my ever loving life. We didn't, not once even. I guess I held aggro about half the time LOL and I tried to get it back as fast as I could, but I felt I was doing a pretty poor job. I warned the group before hand that I was rusty. To my happiness, they were actually cool with it.

So I guess I'm wondering, is this just how it is for mid lvl druids who tank? I mean I'm 45. That's just not much firepower to me. I try to make sure my stats are where they should be, sorry can't link cause I'm at work, but in feral form, I focus on stam, strength and a bit o' agility. In that order. Plus I have most of the gear chanted. Was I loosing aggro because of the much higher lvl hunter and pet and the super power of the s priest? My rage didn't seem to be generating as much as I would have liked either.

I won't go dual spec with her, my main does not make enough money to support all of the alt habits lol... so I'm wondering if I should tough out tanking and get a few more lvls under my belt. I don't want to heal, I have an 80 priest. I guess I could consider balance (I already play too many casters), or just straight up kitteh? I dunno. I also guess I can get rid of my 3 sets of gear, well two at least, once I decide what to do.

I know there's been lots of druid posts in the past, and sorry to ramble on with this one, but I needed to kill a half hour at work LOL. Seriously though, input is much appreciated.

Peace and puppydogs and gnomes!

However as of this afternoon, the Las Vegas Convention Center emailed us to let us know that due to their human error, the confirmation they were giving was false.

According to the LVCC, Blizzard and the LVCC had spoken once about having BlizzCon 2010 in Las Vegas, and a hold was placed on those dates as a marketing tactic to entice Blizzard to the area. However, that hold was inadvertently turned into a confirmed booking, leading to the inaccurate confirmations and resulting issues.

The LVCC has apologized for the confusion, and thus ends the saga of BlizzCon in Las Vegas

from wow.com

Double double edit: I'm not sure what the problem was still, but it appears to have been fixed. I did a router restart [well, I shut it off for around thirty minutes anywa] and it's fixed. This may be a solution?

So, the game and the forums are down? Was there some announcement of oddly timed maintenance that nobody was told about?
I did manage to log in once, after about 5 mins of waiting at the connecting screen, but it only brought up the development realms and then wouldn't connect. >_>

Edit: It appears that even worldofwarcraft.com and blizzard.com are having XML problems as well?

Double edit: I did manage to 'log in' twice, but half the servers were missing and WoW crashed upon trying to connect to any of them.

So says Rob Pardo, senior VP of game design.

Let me just say... WE TOLD YOU SO! Kudos for finally admitting it.
