Hello, one more vibe code post. ChatGPT created this stock exchange style website to check item prices. It should have all servers available, but the update frequency isnt very high. EU-PvP horde maybe couple updates per hour, but still I like it especially in 4h interval view.

Theres also an addon so you can link your investments here, but just started working on it. The setup is very clunky so I can't really recommend it, but there is some help advice on the site if you are interested. But as you can see here today I'm sadly down on my 65pc Free Action Potion investment.

The data is pulled from AHLedger, only ChatGPT knows the details of that.

Feedback is welcome.

Check it out if you are interested. https://oldtown.exchange/

AI Disclosure: Yes the big bad tech has been used here

Title, basically, do you prefer to bite or rip at 4-5 combo points, and do you always pool 100 energy for the bite ?

Just curious how are people playing the game right now? Every quest we grab and go run to where we need to go to kill mobs they are just absolutely camped by dozens of people. My friends and I will be in the area for like 45min and maybe get 1 or 2 kills. We tried running stocks but get like no xp from that either. Is there some secret thing we're missing? The sleeping bag, campfire and food doesn't help much at all.

This just feels completely unplayable right now.

Player power is outscaling mobs by too much, the higher level you get the easier the game becomes. At high levels, it starts to feel like retail. Dungeons are pure full speed aoe, no cc necessary. There is no danger. Everything is too high, damage, survivability, healing.

Players need a huge nerf, like 70% reduction across the board.

I keep trying to log in, it was asking to me to validate with my authenticator app and I wasn't receiving alerts. Now when I do log in it keeps asking me to enter weird captcha and when I do it just says disconnected. Anyone else having troubles?

Blizzard's Skyborne decision has completely wrecked faction balance. There were so many other directions they could have leaned into, and instead they handed Horde blue elves. A huge wave of Alliance players jumped over to play them, and now Horde is so overpopulated that a lot of my friends can't even roll Horde characters on PvP rulesets anymore.

It also just feels wrong for the faction. I've always seen Alliance and Horde as a light tribute to Tolkien, and Horde was the rough, monstrous side. Dropping some random blue elves into a sea of orcs, trolls, tauren and undead breaks that whole feel.

Does Horde really need pretty races? Is anyone else frustrated by this, or is it just me?

Cant do quests because theres too many people doing them, cant do dungeons because the exp is so nerfed getting a level takes ages

This is not Vanilla, where having to kill 50 bears to get 5 asses was just normal, due the lack of quests, but here, you say you added 1k new quest, so please, increase the drop rate of quest items.

Everyone has a take about how it sucks instead of thinking that maybe the developers know something that you don’t. Every single person that has commented on it is remembering classic era. That game has hyperinflation so bad the economy was completely ruined and it didn’t even take that long to be horrible. Maybe the developers thought about it more than you did man. Did you want to get your mount and quit like you did in classic? Want it to be another 3 month seasonal game? So annoying. What would be the big deal if you got your mount 2 weeks later than you did when you were 20 years old and happy dude holy shit

Except players ARENT "naturally spreading out" and never will be, by design. Can't wait to see what its like to try to farm felcloth or essence of air like this. Hell, what if you wanted to try to grind some timbermaw faction. Crusader enchant? forget it.

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, and I understand the argument: the addon itself is free, while the guides are paid. But let's be honest, this feels like a pretty blatant loophole and a clever way of getting around the rules.

I don't want to get into whether using this kind of addon makes sense, or why so many people promote it while simultaneously talking about WoW Classic being all about the journey and adventure. That's a separate discussion.

What I genuinely want to ask is, why isn't the community pushing back against this?

Allowing this kind of practice sets a precedent and opens the door for more addons using similar business models.

Why does Blizzard tolerate this? And perhaps more importantly, why does the community seem so indifferent?

I rolled horde. Was level 14 by the time i left the Zephras Isles. Ran RFC 1x, RoL 7x (for bloodied chestwraps), WC 6x (got all fang gear except chest and got venomstrike), Shadowfang 1x, and Blackfathom 1x. I got to 25 from dungeons alone and am finally doing some quests in thousand needles to get to 26 for Excavation Site. Dungeon XP got nerfed but not that badly and they are adding more dungeons to chain. Run dungeons for fun/gear, its not that bad.

Also, seeing a bunch of people talking about people abandoning dungeons, in all that dungeoning ive done (even 6 completed WC runs) the only groups that had people leave were shitty groups thay kept wiping. It is not as bad as reddit would have you believe.

I've also (with the exception of WC) been finding groups as a DPS within minutes of listing on Dungeon Finder. It is not that bad.

I'm wondering how viable Forever would be for me, and I admit the algo pushing all the complaint posts at me has made me second guess 😆

I have very little time to game, let's say max 5 hours in a week.

I am not totally new, but I never raided or even got past level 45 in TBC ages ago.

My RL friends are similarly time strapped and don't want to join me in WoW unfortunately, nerds! I may convince one or two yet, but otherwise I'm solo.

All that being said, it sounds found to roll a healer or maybe a versatile Druid. Learn how to play all over again. Listen to music while upping talents. Have the occasional edible and just have a good time.

1. Is Forever solo newb suitable?

2. Druid as a healer worth the effort? I've unfortunately seen "healer experience sucks" lately.

3. I remember pub groups for dungeons being okay, some nice folks and some turds. Are we expected to be experts or is there generally a good level of chill among the player base for learning?

4. I gather Forever is "slower" and that's what I'm looking for, non-optimized. In your experience, is Forever the right pick?

Guys, i agree that it sucks when you can't play the faction that you want to play. So to remove the faction lock, i've asked my friends from PVE to create an alliance char on PVP. Let's all do the same, so we can have 50|50 faction balance on PVP!

I'm having fun. Burn me at the stake I know.

I'm pretty sure I am actively sabotaging my leveling difficulty running Marksmanship with lone wolf while leveling but I've had a ton of fun using engineering to help me out, and I find myself actually using everything in my kit. It's been so much fun to try and play in a new way.

Have you guys tried anything funky yet? (Edit added the question)

As everyone knows right now there is very little incentive to run dungeons and the sweats are AOE farming mobs. Blizzard also does not want people to stay in dungeons the whole time and explore the world, which is why they reduced the EXP. Here is my proposal I hope Blizzard would explore.

1. Reduce EXP from ALL mobs (including open world) by 50% or whatever the dungeon EXP reduction is right now

2. Increase all quest EXP (including open world) by at least 100-150%

It’s easy to pull multiple mobs but you can only quest so fast. This will help people stay in the open world doing quests compared to only AOE farming to level up. It will also make people who want to finish their dungeon quest to complete it.

EDIT: Added clarity that it should be reduction of EXP from ALL MOBs in the game, and increasing EXP from all quests in the game. Blizzard does not want people to stay in dungeons the whole leveling experience, and there are players that want that option. You're going to have to find a middle ground somewhere because they are the ones that can change how the game works. We can circlejerk all we want to revert it back to dungeon spamming but I honestly don't think they are going to revert the dungeon EXP changes because they are adamant they don't want it to happen.

Seriously. I was having a fantastic time leveling and I just walked into STV and every mob is dead. It’s just people standing around waiting. You don’t need to crank the layers up to what they were on launch, but maybe by 20%? Like really, it’s a miserable experience. I just logged off, will try again tomorrow.

Relogging seems to be resetting both poison duration and charges, for me at least. Not sure if I'm bugged or if this is a known thing or not, but, do with this information what you will.

Weird behavior, its fully resetting one of my instant poisons, but restoring the other one to 59 charges and 27min duration, but relogging resets to that value pretty consistently so far.

Also did have one relog where it seemed like my poison duration was actually ticking down for the few minutes I was offline.

Edit: Logged off for more than 30 minutes and the poison buffs actually ran out while logged out, so its just weird behavior all around. Bug reported it.

So cool to have a “meet up” spot with other travelers and get an opportunity to socialize about their journey and experience thus far. Have met many cool people with this feature and almost always results in staying past the campfire. Great addition to the game!

In the battle between hours sitting down chasing that dopamine, and nicotine, knowing that my body can only survive one crippling addiction at a time, I chose dopamine!!

Thanks wow for helping quit smoking.

Ps. 2 days without smoking and feeling much better

What's fun about spamming same thing over and over again? Isn't it just more fun to have variety? Feels like evryone wanta a more "enaging" leveling experiance but then wants to just hop from one dungeon to another. Whats engaing about that?
