WoW'ers stand up and be counted!!!

Yea Like I'm going to send them all that info when they clearly state over and over that they'll NEVER ask for your password. It looks very authentic though because the "from" is Blizzard Entertainment, but my hubby explained how you can easily fake that if you're a hacker. It really makes me wonder if this is how all those sites that sell WoW gold get the gold in the first place. I always thought, how on earth do they make enough to sell it like that. Do they have a warehouse full of people working 20 hours a day just farming gold on WoW, sipping espressos, eyes all bloodshot, scoop em up with a forklift when they pass out and plunk a new one in their spot...

I can't remember if I said this before, but I'm loving QuestHelper!! I also downloaded DBM as suggested, thank you. I haven't tried it out yet cuz I got so hooked on the new Mage I am lvling up now. So much for the Priest, monsters look at her cross-eyed and she keels over! I'll still plug away at her lvls, but it gets frustrating and the mage makes me feel better then lol.

Yes the authenticator is available on their website, however it is sold out. My Husband called them this morning - they said they do not know when they will have more available.

They are sold here http://www.blizzard.com/store/search.xml?q...d+Authenticator

I've been messing around with recount lately. Last week in uludar, I did something and it started putting the mobs DPS in along with raid members. So I thought I had it fixed last night, and was doing sons of hodir dailies and noticed that I had 2.4 FPS. #######. I have a crappy comp and normally only have around 12-15 FPS in normal populated zones, 4-6 FPS in Dalaran. It turns out I had recount set to collect data from everyone I was within range of.

I'm changing my professions on several toons. Going with herbalism. A stack of frost lotus goes for like 200-250 gold on my realm

DOH!

Speaking of frost lotus - where the heck can I harvest it? It's pricey when I'm making flasks and occasionally a guildie will have one which they pass on...I've been too lazy to look up where it's from

Chinese Gold Farmers. Mass production in China of younger people being paid little money in makeshift internet cafe's either gold farming for money and stuff. Or the hackers who steal accounts, they don't need much of a employee base. Most are small I believe, they hack the accounts, steal all the gold and then advertise gold for sale on so and so site. And they'd be lucky to have espressos, more like dirty drinking water. But over there a job is a job and it's big business...

I think you can get it in Sholezar, IC or SP. I just use gatherer and then asked a guildie for their gatherer D/B so I wouldn't have to sit there and wait to collect nodes or get them off guildmates.

That's nice kimbear We don't actually have officers in our guild.

Yes the frost lotus is available in those places Rob mentioned - however - it is incredibly hard to find. In reading some forums some people believe there are people who just farm FL - leaving the other herbs behind - I have been collecting herbs since I started playing. In the last 2 months you can farm herbs for hours and never get one. I did pick up 1 the other day - and just to show you how rare they are - when I looked at my empty bags last night I said - they took my 1 frost lotus!!

They sell for about 28g a piece on our server.

Strange I get a lot still, the same I think as always so not sure, maybe bad luck or maybe being on a medium/low sized server just means I get a lot more herbs and hence more chance to get Frost Lotus. I have several stacks in the bank and still never touch them. One stack in my bag at all time makes all the pots I need for a good month and by the time the next month rolls around, I have already filled up my bag stash...

Herbalism is the newest cash cow on our realm. Skinning and mining aren't selling very well at all. Enchanting mats sell for a lot still.

For herbalism, there is a lot of competition for it. I know a few people who made druids just so they could herb with them. The epic flying form is the fastest way to get from node to node.

It's interesting how there is a different 'supply' on different realms! Maybe the guys who just do the frost lotus haven't made it to your servers yet

It might have something to do with the size of the server population and frequency each node is farmed.

We did AQ40 last night for the acheivement. Wow that instance is a pain in the ####. Specifically the 3rd to last boss' who heal themselves. We tried to 10 man it, but ended up needing 20 to finish it. Couldn't imagine how people could do that at lvl 60 :X

I got all my stuff back today

All items for all characters (as far as I can tell) - all my gold and also the stuff that was taken from the guild bank.
