There is a quest in Badlands where you have to go up a tower to kill a named mob, and its right next to the horde base. Well, instead of going up the left ramp (the safe way), i went up the ramp on the right, on my horse, and rode straight into New Kargarth...... and got one shotted.

What a way to go....

I'm undecided on if im going to try again, at the moment i dont know.

Carpie posted : Sounds like level 41 is the current unchartered territory for all of us, so good luck!

Like Jobbie, I've not even had a miniscule iota of chance to get back to my ironman Priest in the past month. The guild has been running it's first 10M runs (with much thanks to Jobbie) and it's been a blast. But also a time consumer trying to get everyone coordinated and raid ready (gems, enchants, flasks, banquets, etc). It will settle down though. With each run we not only progress through the bosses, but also more solidify as a raid team. Praise be the day that we are finally settled with our roster and start hitting our rhythm.

Just think of the rested bonus I'll be getting once I DO fire Consecration back up! (if only it were limitless)

Rather strange, though, not to be thinking IronMan - I correct myself, I've done that challenge for over a year now - started "blogging" back in February of 2012.

Time to move on though, and pally tanking sounds like the cure.

They're 8/16H and seemingly have a good roster, so breaking into a starting spot will be really fucking tough.

I might spend the first bit of my wow time here in Japan leveling and getting back into what made wow so much fun for me, and this Ironman challenge is right up that alley.

Maybe I'll finally get my Warrior to 90 and bring him back to the light. Some PvP action on him wouldn't be too bad...after all, the curve isn't as steep for PvP right now as it is for PvE.

So how do you know what gear someone has? I know you can check the armory on someone, but if I put on BoAs for example, then before logging off, switch to all simple gear, how would anyone know? The armory would show the crap gear.

Technically, if you put on the BoA gear, play awhile, then remove it prior to logging out, it is most likely that the data base will not see this. Is it cheating if no one sees it being done? So it is more of an honor system; the player knows what the rules are, and are expected to abide by them.

I would not be surprised to learn this has been done.

In my opinion, if a player does not want to play by the "rules" that have been laid out, then really they are just cheating. The challenge is to complete this, without ANY advantages - potions, exceptional gear, money from friends, assistance from friends, BoA.

At the end of the day, it's all about their own morals.
