World of Warcraft player becomes trade chat hero

http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/07/11/world-of-warcraft-player-becomes-trade-chat-hero/

It started with an innocent question in World of Warcraft's trade chat: "What would you do with 200,000 gold?" Among the various responses, a player said that he'd like a Vial of the Sands to give to his friend. The vial actually gives the player a Sandstone Drake flying mount, one of the more difficult-to-obtain mounts in the game.

The story doesn't end there: The asker of the question then tracked down the guy who answered and delivered the super-expensive vial into his hands. When the donor found out that the mount was for the guy's friend, he bought and gifted a second mount so that the two friends would have matching rides. The reason for the generosity? "I wanted to make someone's day," the donor said.

And thus the legend of the trade chat hero is born.

and to be honest, it is a different game at best. it is disgustingly balanced atm, but still with flavors of the day (except blizzard has decided to remove choice from all specs across the board, and bit of the other that made staying up till 5 am fun).

<if you choose a specific role, you have one spec>

I suppose you can do LFR with 115k dps as frost or 70k with fire spec....but who would?....even after you hit ilvl 522+? I think it is safe to say the spec is chosen for you.

Things that are great are the ability to randomly queue for raids (this only applies to healers and tanks). The bad is that you accrue 'points" justice and valor which are worthless after a bit.

the downside is that after a month you will have a few level 90's and completely stump askmrrobot.

Other then that, melee toons are so overpowered, it is a wonder anyone players anything else, other then to please the occasional group heal.

...20,000 dps if you can stand the constant calls to boot you out . Never mind the fact that one is in a LFR to get the gear to better their dps.

No melee for this WoW player as I absolutely hate melee. Give me a healer or ranged dps any time.

The one and three-person scenarios are great fun also. I hope we see more of those in the future.
