At least there should be tabards to farm all this rep easier and not with damn dailies.

Hell, I wouldn't mind the BC way of each dungeon has its own faction rep it gives. Granted it sucked crawling through slave pens and underbog on my hunter everyday, but I'd rather do that than dailies. Or at least the option between the two.

I'm also not into this farmville thing to level my cooking.

Totally agree with you there, at least give us an option for us non-daily fans.

Jobbie posted : Yeah totally, I also hate seeing 30 VP for each random dungeon this goes well with their idea of people doing dailies to cap VP but screws up us dungeon crawlers and makes it even harder for dps to gear up.

Resto one stats are terrible but it was a good upgrade nonetheless.

clawfury posted : That's a good step, but it's still fatally flawed and a huge step backwards for those of us who love alts. Who of us really wants to go through that stupid grind once, let alone twice, to get our alts in VP gear? I can barely tolerate it for one - I will NEVER do those every day.

So I suppose the answer is "no, because I'm now repping with all of them".

anon posted : Good news, Claw:

"Bashiok at Blizzard: We've just applied a hotfix that removes the faction requirements for Justice gear."

A step in the right direction, at least you can use your JP from running normal randoms to gear up for heroics. But it will still be a crapshoot whether you can use VP to patch up holes in your raid drops - did you guess the right faction to start repping with?

I will chain-queue heroics until I get my holy gear up to date then we can just keep going to get us challenge mode status.

I have just been waiting till we can get some guild groups for Heroics. I got tired of the lame ducks of LFD. Once we get a few more 90s I see heroics runs all the time.

Also PnE has always been a challenge mode type of guild. We all were excited when they made this an actual thing.

Yeah, I know :-) Just not sure how many of them will be interested in challenge modes. Guess we'll have to see :-D

Tiermordius, Muzzle, Venom/Sanctisimo, Angrende, Skylara, Jobbie, Furius, McBrain... all have expressed excitement and desire for challenge modes. We'll get there, bro... we'll get there.

clawfury posted : JB,
I have to say - I loved the levelling in this xpac, but what they did with endgame prep is pure and unfiltered bullshit. I personally HATE dailies. I don't like being forced to do them to get rep with some faction just so I can buy gear that I already earned by doing heroics for valor. I hate it even more than my JP are worthless, and there was nothing to buy except one piece (unless you are revered first with Golden Lotus). The stuff you can buy is worse than what you get in heroics, too, I really don't get what the hell blizzard was thinking. This is the stupidest end game progression path yet.

McBrain posted : Tank a few heroics for me and I'll be ready to run all the challenge modes you can stand, claw. I know Immer said he will be down for challenge modes, and certainly we will be able to scrounge up two more dps.

I went from ilvl 439 to 446 last night with only 1 drop from a heroic boss. I got 2 Direbrew trinkets (finally), a helm from Scarlet Monestary, and a ilvl 450 staff from a scenario.

Three or four heroic pieces should put me over ilvl 450 at which point I would assume I'd be ready for challenge modes. At least ready enough to give them a shot.

That sucks. My DK is on Nathrezim ally side. Trade chat is literally dead, no one says anything. I was tired yesterday of getting all of the tank gear ninjaed by warrior and paladin dps (after I asked them if they needed dps drops, they said yes...so I passed...then they need the tank gear and jet), so I tried to form a PUG - never even got one whisper.

You are about to have a plethora of 90s from the guild soon. I have gotten my Monk up to 68 in just over 24 hours of game play. So, we are chugging along bud. By next weekend, people are going to be ready for raiding.

My blood DK is getting close to ready for Challenge Modes (ilvl 458), and I've cleared all of the heroics, so I know the (normal heroic) pulls. In a few more pieces of gear, I want to start challenge modes - can you only do them with people on your own server?
