Whats a Rupture ?

Oh that is so sweet... I can finally find out if that girl from my old guild was lieing to me about their incredible progression (all signs point to YES).

Raiding is full of challenge. Sometimes there is fire. You have to not be in the fire.

This could also be used to get real numbers on faction balance.

From what I can tell, it's some profile sharing thing for people in the "in crowd", who like to spout off about how their battlegroup's teams are definitely, irrefutably better than teams from the other battlegroups they've never played *nod nod*.

This post needs to be mocked, but I'm too tired to do it.

Actually, a better comparison is Xfire, not myspace. Myspace is more about personal social dating. Rupture is about the characters.

Which means we still need a Myspace for WoW, somewhere to post the beauty shots of my scantily-clad blood elf, along with an MP3 of Sinead O'Britney you can't turn off.

And here I was thinking Blizzard's web team wasn't doing anything. Seems like a lot of work got put into this, good job for them.

Hmm, I'm really just not sure how to take this site. Presently it's just chain-crashing Firefox so I'll have to wait to fool around but the concept is interesting to say the least. (Edit: seems better now.)

It is however incredibly intrusive and the idea that any puggy can tab out and see my gear, my spec and my tradeskills is a little painful. It's nice to confirm my name as unique at least I guess =)

We'll see where this leads.

There has got to be something wrong with that site right now. According to it, there are no horde 5v5 arena teams in the top 100, and possibly even the top 200 teams (I skipped a few pages) that seems awfully unlikely to me.

What are you talking about? That's completely plausible considering the Alliance outnumbers the Horde 200 to one~

Seems like a lot is broken on it so far. I can see my char name, but can't get my profile to come up, or pretty much anyone's for that matter.

Oh and here's the funny thing. "The Armory is best experienced with Firefox" yet it will NOT load in firefox and I had to use Safari to look at it.

No offense intended, but any puggy won't really care enough to do so. The idea that people are going to be two boxing, and querying every person they come against is just ridiculous. Now, I know Northerner that you didn't say this, but it's one of the "fears" that has come up on the WoW Forums.

Each Battlegroup has between 10 and 20 competitive teams, I mean teams that really have a shot to win the BG. The idea that each of those teams are going to go on and remember the spec of every teammate of each of those teams is beyond belief.

Although, the one thing this will do is create more Alt posting on the Forums, it's going to be hard to insult a players PvP abilities when you are sitting at 348 out of 700 in your Battlegroups 5v5 bracket.

Back to the original issue, why do people care if random people can see there gear? They can already see it now with GoodInspect from halfway across IF/Org. People recognise your weapons all the time, how can a Priest hide the fact that he's using Benediction or the Will of Arrlok? Basically, other than Spec we're not learning anything we can't know anyways. As for Spec, who cares...knowing that a Rogue is a Mace Spec and not a Hemo Spec when he's obviously got an Arena Mace or Fist Weapon doesn't really change anything.

Anyone who is truly upset about this (note: nobody here in this thread that I've seen so far) just goes to show that people will get mad about anything.
