I was hoping Blizz would take pity on full bags and banks by making some separate closet-type thing to hold your gear in..http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=62076Comment by tellos0 Im pretty excited about being able to quest while i wait for a bg que to pop and pick up questing where i left off when the bg is over.
I'm a little nervous about what dual spec will do to looting "rules." I'm afraid I'll have to fight plate dps for tank gear because they are "usually a tank." However, I'm pretty excited about being able to be shadow and holy and my priest. I love both, and hate spending a fortune on respecs.Comment by finxz not sure if anyone has said this,but they took the queue anywhere thing from the warhammer mmo Comment by Feato What kind of thing dose that tauren do? :P I dont know that "Spell" :/War Stomp?Comment by tellos0 not sure if anyone has said this,but they took the queue anywhere thing from the warhammer mmoComment by Nordigo
Not really, considering how much money they make per user and the servers at their disposal, accepting that without any inside knowledge of how their infrastructure works is apologetic for no reason. They can do it, they just don't care to unless enough backlash forces them to.

As for a pack mule, this is not a new idea.
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=62076Comment by bwirum Just too many people are to lazy so the group leaders have to ask them, I do agree however that now that blizzard put that option right in front of you more people will use it and groups will be easier to put together (Even for people who cant read becouse its not even text its a little photo!)Comment by Valruin Could be me, but I don't see the use of the equipment manager if the gear you wanna swap needs to be in your inv or you need to be in the bank when using it.

It's a pain being a noob QQComment by drainyou Great additions. The only 'modlike' addition is the gear manager. While they obviously took a que on functionality from mods such as ItemRack or Outfitter - I think they are just implementing a functionality that will be near necessary for thier dual spec system to work.

What I'm curious about is if the gear manager reacts to 'states' such as druid shapeshift or stealthing.

Secondly -- one of the aspects I really thought WAR got right was the ability to be questing(whatever) then snap out to PVP then back to what you were doing seamlessly. With WAR trying to make a comeback this new addition to WoW may take some wind out of their already not-so-full sails. Comment by Diuifilius I can now search for whatever role I want for my group? Holy Shock!Comment by Bullya I can now search for whatever role I want for my group? Holy Shock!Comment by Wiggins ~~I can now search for whatever role I want for my group? Holy Shock!~~

Agreed. Now we don't gotta Whisper 'em asking what Spec they are =P

This will still happen, because we all know how much the illiterates actually read your player comments and notes in the LFG interface...

"23K hp/ 540 def Prot Paladin"

"Can you heal for heroic AN?"

/facepalm.

2x for dual specs..../facepunch.

Or I could be pleasantly incorrect. :)

The Equipment Manager teleports the gear from your bank to you when you switch sets? Comment by doublediamond410 As for the LFG improvements....

Are players still limited to only 3 dungeons/raids at a time? Or can we finally check/uncheck all appropriate dungeons we want to run? Comment by Terungo Blizzard has released some new info on all the different upcoming UI changes! Here's the official announcement:
