Comment by Tynael Also, today is the last day when you can get Ahead of the Curve: Imperator's Fall. Comment by perculia Can you link to a source? All prior Ahead of the Curve achievements were unobtainable when a new raid tier\/major patch hit. Comment by Alladin I don't think it's the last day when you can get Ahead of the Curve for HIghmaul. Blizzard always gives warnings prior to removing content or making it unobtainable and that is not the case now.\r
Also, as Perculia said, there is no major patch coming tommorow so AotC will still be obtainable. Comment by lovelywaz Finally ... I will get to finish What A Strange, Interdimensional Trip It's Been ! Comment by MrReaper23 Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened Comment by mwiland Both Highmaul and BRF are a part of the same Tier and both are considered 6.0 release content. Comment by Indigodusk Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened\r
\r
Yes, =P Have not even seen Blackhand yet. Comment by Hakunamatata Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened\r
\r
People who only do LFR for the legendary quest. Comment by Celestle Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened\r
\r
Wow, you killed him the day BRF opened? I think i first killed him minutes after BRF opened. Comment by Mordredsp Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened\r
\r
Wow, you killed him the day BRF opened? I think i first killed him minutes after BRF opened.\r
\r
You guys think you're though, i killed him one day before the opening of BRF.\r
\r
Went to Blackhand's Crucible with The Last Relic of Argus killed him with my Shado-Pan Geyser Gun! Comment by Sarraah Are there really people who havent kill that guy yet? I think i first killed him the day BRF opened\r

Indeed. My normal mode team is only 7\/10. We just got Kromog this week, though I had to leave early. We're hoping to finally pull Blast Furnace and Maidens this week, so we can take a look at those fights. Comment by Maxwelldemonic I still can't understand why people run LFR anymore. It just seems so pointless. Comment by Istaro I still can't understand why people run LFR anymore. It just seems so pointless.\r
\r
Well, if your guild isn't a raiding one (mine consists of 5 RL friends), LFR's the best way to do the Pepe achievement. Hoping for a Premade Groups pug to either one-shot bosses or let you go back to your garrison to get another Pepe after a wipe is an exercise in frustration.\r
\r
Granted, you could also call Pepe pointless since he's just cosmetic, but to each his own eh :). Comment by Lizinator I'm really looking forward to the tokens coming out in the future! Comment by xwrikos Tokens will be the end of WOW, and why is that?\r
Simply cause blizz let others sell paytime for her and this means that if some ppl don't pay to play soon more will do the same and in some months noone will pay for tokens except goldsellers.\r
Blizz without payment will stop develop the game like now, poor content, only garrison minigames and follower upgrades and at the end what we will have? only farm to get gold and it will be so boring that you won't to play.\r
This is the best and the last move from blizz to wow. \r
Also how much you think it will cost in AH? 100k at least!\r
And what about AH other items? Ppl won't buy em, cause its better to play with no gear rather not playing at all! Comment by Infamushium Tokens will be the end of WOW, and why is that?\r

Yet tokens haven't killed any other game that is pay to play and used a token type system. Comment by Nemukins I still can't understand why people run LFR anymore. It just seems so pointless.\r

Or you are someone like me, who works 3rd shift, and can't even find pugs to run normal at 8 am est.\r
Not everyone plays in raiding guilds during prime playing times, folks.\r
\r
(I, too, just need Blackhand for that meta, so I am extra excited for the patch to drop.) Comment by forgottenring its going to cost 20$?\r
\r
Buying a token is buying gold. There's more to the transaction than just paying for a sub. Of course it's going to be a higher cost. All other MMO game time for gold systems work the same. Comment by kalfeer Tokens will be the end of WOW, and why is that?\r

1. It won't make any difference. Your point is that people will rely on the tokens for their subs? Well, that's why tokens are even more expensive. Tokens don't magically drop from Poundfist, they are bought, and unlike normal subscription - bought without guarantee of sale, and are not refundable. So in fact, Blizzard will get a solid headstart from goldbuyers, which will later stabilize, as people cancel their subs to use gold for it, but as long as the person subbed one way or another - Blizzard is good.\r
In fact, if a player changes his sub from real money to token, Blizzard gets full revenue from goldbuyers. For example, a russian discounted 1month price is about 7$. If I buy european regional token, which likely will cost about 15 euro(or even 20 euro, since Blizzard are too greedy to differentiate), I will literally change the profit they gain from "me" - from 7$ to 15 euro, x2.5.\r
\r
For all intents and purposes, the only way to for the money to stop - is for the subscriptions to stop. So if a person decides to call it, they aren't getting any money. They can make 100500 pets, mounts and raids, the person will not wipe his rear with it. But then they give him a chance to resub without necessary real life investment - and he just might take that chance.\r
So whatever this change is made for - it's not to kill their income, but to expand it even further or at least to stabilize it.\r
\r
2. As for the gold price...well, here are two positions:\r
>According to Elv-something, from previous Wowhead article, if Blizzard wants to beat goldsellers with this secure way - they'll need 25-30k prices for the tokens.\r
>Since I doubt that anyone will be shelling out cash for anything like abovementioned numbers, the initial Blizzard price of, say, 50k gold, will grow with the deficiency of tokens on the AH, until the price is adequate to the gold buyer, but never to the end token buyer.\r
\r
Either way, even if the cost is 100k... honestly, with some minor effort, you can make 100k a month, and then save some for yourself. And by minor effort I mean managing garrison missions, selling whatever crap comes from barn\\disenchanting\\missions\\salvage crates, managing a couple of professions. Extend it to 2-3+ characters, and you can have an easy network of 2-5k gold a day.\r
Or even spend some hours in the BoE farming runs. Make some yourself, ninja the loot, it's a jungle out there, no problem. Or get a couple of friends and exploit your way through. My guildies totally raped BRF heroic on the first week, I can only imagine all the gold they made - probably good enough to set them for half a year "regardless" of token price inflation.\r
\r
So in the end, we shouldn't worry about Blizzard - they are getting fed anyway, nor should we worry about gold - it grows on trees, literally. We should worry about rich <censored> <censored>\\ working <censored> <heavily censored> or otherwise <censored> entitled people and their desire in WoW gold. Because if there's no interest in WoW gold as virtual currency, neither Blizzard, nor us will get anything out of it.
