MOP love

At least boxers aren't the #1 ridiculous complaint on the official forums anymore! :lol:

That is in fact the case. I looted 4 Fel Orc Vials for each of my 4 boosted Paladins last night out of the first room of Orcs in Blood Furnace. There are only 6 or 8 orcs there, so the math doesn't work out even if there were a vial on each corpse. It is an awesome QoL improvement, especially when you take into account AoE looting (4 quest items picked up with one click!)

I've started a new team, druid, warrior, paladin, shaman and priest! All different races :) loot quests are a doddle.. unless they are NODE loot quests. OH HOW I HATE THEEE

Until you get an "interact with object" loot quest. I still have nightmares about the hyjal seed quest.

Disc priests at lower lvls with attonement healing WTF OP!!! I made a new team of 4 just for run, RaF and BoAs baby!! :P

There have only been 1 or 2 quests so far where this wasn't the case. Collection quests still suck terribly if it's an item you must pick up off the ground / collect items.

This is an example of a "loot item off a mob" collection quest that did NOT drop 1 item for each group member: http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26995 Possibly a bug. Who knows. This was only 1 of the maybe 2 or 3 that I can remember so far that didn't drop for everyone.

Nah, just not tested it myself yet.

I'm loving that procs are far less of a PITA for my team. I went from 4 procs that I actively monitored and used down to 1 thanks to the changes with Art of War and how holy power works.

I dont think the changes were to help boxers, they were to help friends that group together, they just helped us by accident.

I always wondered why they punished (or should I say discouraged) people from grouping together to quest.

I remember WotLK where I had to collect bear livers in Grizzly Hills. Man that quest sucked and the drop rate was terrible, and even sadder when there are other people on the same quests. Killing 20 bears to find 2 livers means you dont want to share the mobs with anyone else.

Now at least I can just invite them to a group and we can both complete it together. You'd think Blizzard would be in this mindset already, it is a very social game.

Yup, social aspect is what makes this game awesome. Its why I'm glad my teams in a guild with others, so I have that green chat to keep me entertained even when i'm grinding levels.

changes are nice, just need a little tinkering and tweaking to adjust.

The talent changes are great in my opinion, not just a standard cookie cutter must have and glyphs, can mix n match and have some fun stuff, its really good, I like it anyway alot.

AOE looting is brilliant

Range removed for hunters is beyond long overdue, some raid boss mechanics required stacking and we were alwasy outter, causing healers to focus us more.
And in pvp it will help, especially when we had mages in our faces or melee.

Account wide mounts, well.... im just smiling, mounting all my boxers on all same mounts, especially rare ones.

And they removed daily quest cap, woot on that :)

and etc etc. changes this time are really well thought through and beneficial and worth while.

I just finished running my pali/shaman team through a couple heroics, and everything seems fine. I had a little more trouble on the trash and a little less trouble on the bosses. I still have to work out some macros for dropping stormlash totems and the other cooldowns and whatnot so I'm sure I will even get better.

So far all the changes seem like an improvement or sideways, nothing really bad (unless you count HGWT).
