<title>Downtime QQing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21515608</link>
<description><![CDATA[I recently read a post on here about occasional server downtime or lag.  I also see the constant posts on the official forums and trade channel about it.

Here is a little something for the complainers to think about:

Do you immediately call your ISP the moment the service has a hiccup?  You pay more for that each month than you do the game.
Do you call the cell phone carrier and cry because it drops 1/500 calls?  Of course not, you just call the person back and blame the reception, even in strong signal areas.
What about the cable/satellite company because one channel one night for a few minutes has slight snow in the picture? No, you think their service is great.

Boohoo, WoW had a little hiccup in their massive network for a few minutes and their army of techs did not fix it immediately while troubleshooting rooms full of networked mainframes.  People need to get over lag spikes.

Oh no, your realm went down for a little while.  A computer system that was recently described in an article as so massive it could only be rivaled by something the size of Google's, had a problem that caused them to take it offline to fix it.  Google's goes down too, you just don't notice because they can switch to a cached version for a few minutes, no one notices.  I'm pretty sure the same could apply for Blizz, but I'm also pretty sure people would be more upset when they login and find a day old copy of their character and redo a bunch of stuff, then login again and find that copy gone and their real copy back, and have lost all that game time.

You're paying about $15 a month (per copy) for a source of entertainment, not $50, not $100, and it is not a crucial service.  Hard to believe, but you will live through the next few hours without WoW.  You can sign off and avoid the lag for 20 minutes.

I'd bet that every Blue Poster that sees a QQ about lag in the forums has to be physically restrained to prevent them from telling you to *****content censored*****, because anyone with half a brain knows computers have problems here and there that cannot be predicted.

<title>Please Help me Define QQing.....</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21515350</link>
<description><![CDATA[Just wanted some input from some non official wow boards people. I KNOW what Ill get from them :P

Here's what happened.

Was in Dragonblight the other day. My server has been having a lot of major lag spikes/crashes lately. At least once per play session I can pretty well count on a giant spike (cant talk to npcs, cant loot, sometimes completely frozen and come back from spike dead, etc). Anyhoo one happened. Someone in general asked if anyone else was lagging. Common question as you never know if its just you. 20 or so people respond affirmative. We all sit there prolly a solid minute waiting for it to die down. Chat is about the only thing thats working. 

I say: "I for one feel priviledged to PAY for this level of service". That was the entirety of what I said. One sentence. No going on. No spamming, yelling the usual stuff you see in bad performance areas. Immediately some tool jumps me and tells me to "quit qqing" "cancel your account, dont pay for it if its so upsetting" I really didnt care as my acct expires pretty soon anyway and was just piddling while watching some movies. I thought this was a gross overreaction though. I feel that if I pay for something I should be able to voice my displeasure if the "product" is prefectly understandable. So voicing a mild complaint is "QQing"?

I have heard this same complaint a LOT in many channels whether its about someone unhappy about their class, a recent patch, overall performance, queues, bgs the list goes on and on. It seems there are a group of people out there that believe you should absolutely never voice a complaint about ANY subject at all (at least in wow). To my way of thinking if no one complains about poor performance why would the provider have any motivation to change/improve anything? And yes I know there are other avenues for voicing your complaints but I feel one or 2 casual complaints in general chat (not trade, lfg etc) is a good thing. 

Opinions? Comments? Was I qqing from what you read and if so what would your rationale be for not complaining about a poor performing product you purchase? ]]></description>

<title>Addon either to move or replace unit frames</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21515138</link>
<description><![CDATA[Anyone have recommendations for an addon to either

-Allow me to move the current unit frames?
-Replace the current unit frames and allow movement, that is simple to use and doesn't cause any other problems?

I'd prefer just to be able to move the current frames - less messy than installing an addon that replaces them.]]></description>

<title>[WotLK] State of the Holy Pally</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21508999</link>
<description><![CDATA[Having hit 80 about a week ago and gathered some gear from instances and heroics, I was curious on others' thinking on how they perceive the class.

No way around it...I am disappointed.

While I know this is very early in the game, I base this on a recent experience:

1) With all the "AOE" damage done by instance mobs/bosses, pally healing (single target) isn't very effective.  Case in point, running an heroic the other night. Ran it with my guild group (as ret myself), with a DK tank and priest healer (moderately geared). Cleared the place in like 45 min.  Then ran it the next day with me healing (about 1680ish +heal) and a slightly undergeared tank (but DPS was same players). Needless to say, we couldn't get past the first boss.  Even with Beacon of Light, the AOE healing required was just impossible to keep up with.  While I may be undergeared for heroics at this point, since I am about evenly geared with the priest (don't know his exact numbers), his AOE heals and tools like shields, etc., makes his healing much more effective.

2) As holy, I then tried to grind on some mobs (76-80 level non-elites).  Wow, was this horrible.  While I could kill them without risk of dying, it would take quite a while because I couldn't generate enough damage (I swear that my crit holy shock was only hitting for like 800-1000).

I am very down on holy at the moment - they have made it hard to be effective in groups or even solo IMO.  I am hoping some of you have made more advancements gear-wise and can let me know that it will get better because at this point, I see no reason to ever heal again in anything but a raid, because 5-mans are an exercise in futility.  This comes as no surprise as quite frankly, I have been down on holy after all the buffs DPS got before Litch was released and all the nerfs that they hit Ret with that did collateral damage to prot and holy (as I have posted here countless times before).

<title>[WotLK] Starting the Rep Grind</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21486581</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone,

I started the rep grind on my hunter :O(, right now working on ally Vanguard rep to get the chopper Schematic (revered atm). I might leave that on the back burner because the 1900 gold for the schematic plus the 12 Titansteel bars to make the chopper makes me want to put it the hold.  Went to Howling Fjord since I didn&#146;t touch none of the quest there. My question is what fraction should I start grinding next or which rep should I be grinding first. 

Is there a fraction that you can buy shoulder enchants besides Aldor/Scryer? I know inscriptions can make them but they BoP. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I went in to this BG for the 1st time yesterday. Worked out that I had to kill guards to make machines and managed to win the encounter by following a couple of people that kind of knew what to do. Does anybody have any useful tactical info for this BG? Also anybody done the 10 man raid boss after? If so where is it and how many tanks healers do u need? Thanks]]></description>

<title>Need Alt advice</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21515464</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm very new to WoW . . . only been playing 3-4 months - but have come to the point where I need an alt toon to take advantage of increased bank storage, other professions, etc. 

I've decided that I really NEED Inscription, mostly due to the extremely high prices on my realm for Weapon Vellum, Armor Vellum etc. So . . . that's set in stone, but the other options aren't.

What advise do you have for rolling an Alt, given the already made profession decision?

<title>DK specs</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21503384</link>
<description><![CDATA[I understand that frost spec is for tanking.  What I'm wondering about is what's the best raid dps spec?  A lot of people think it would be blood, but I'm specced unholy and I'm outdpsing blood DKs in instance runs.  Only level 66 atm, does it change at higher levels?

My main is a warlock, unholy just feels 'natural' to me.
