This will just promote people to use /trade instead of the auction house... or dear god, put the prices to steep and we'll soon see WoW's version of FFXI's Jeuno (sp? I dont even remember).

There's already talk in the economy thread of doing just that because of the current auction house cut.

But you know, in the real world... Inflation isn't bad either, Hyperinflation is bad, but so is Stagflation and Deflation.

Well, I'm no fan either of lvl 30 mount.
Not out of spite or anything like that, simply because I think that it's a bit too early for "average-high level" convenience.
Perhaps out of semi-masochistic pleasure "the longer you wait for it, the better it is when you have it", and that lvl 30-40 initiated people to long-range walk and made the mount all the better to finally get it.

Though I won't lose sleep over this, I prefer the old way

Personally glad of the mount change, have a couple alts stranded in their 30's just because of the hell that is Desolace.

The level 30 mount will be great for Horde who want to go to Badlands. Walking all the way from Tarren Mills (or Undercity) to Badlands sucked.

I'm personally quite pleased with the mount changes. As a semi alt-o-holic this will alleviate some of the stress and boredom of getting about between 30-40. This was helped with the changes in 2.3 in the leveling speed increase, but will only make things better for re-rollers when WoTLK comes out.

I've just noticed something very interesting about the new 22 slot bags - they're BOE, this could alleviate problems for people with large amounts of money, who feel they can't transfer servers because they'll be having to dump all their excess gold into capital that they hope they can sell on their new server's AH.

Now it's possible to just buy up your money's worth of these bags, transfer, then just make a topic on the destination realm's forum, stating that you're selling these bags at a slightly discounted rate (say, 1100g instead of the 1.2k vendor price), you obviously wouldn't have competition on sales since it's a vendor item, and you can slowly regain the cash you earnt on your previous realm.

Using myself as an example:
I've 46,000g. Minus 10,000 since I'll be staying at the cash threshold when transfering.

36,000g = 30 bags.
Sold to people on your new server at 1100g per piece, that's only a loss of 3000g when transfering server, with no risk of inflation, deflation, low demand or high competition on the capital which you'd otherwise have to invest into.

Of course if there are particualarly friendly people on your destination realm you can sell to them at full price and take no loss in transfering servers.

I strongly recommend against doing this before you lose a lot of money.

There's no guarantee these bags will sell as quickly as you like. This is after all, a somewhat rare purchase. You may get left "holding the bag" so to speak. (Yes, I went there.)

At the very least, post on the other forum that you'll be doing this in a couple days and taking pre-orders, before you put all your gold in bags.

If this does work though, it's an interesting way of transferring gold between servers on a lvl 10 alt.

[Mystical Skyfire Diamond] internal cooldown is ~30-35s on the PTR right now.

Some data:
I thought I was getting some extra procs while farming mobs to buy stuff from the TCG ethereal soul-trader, so I tested it out on Dr. Boom.

Edit: Nevermind, it's 35s on live, too. I guess either everyone missed it in an earlier 2.4 patch or a lot of informational threads need to be updated.

Seems like sound advice to me. If you are willing to give up 100 gold per bag, buying at 1200 and selling at 1100, I have no doubt you would sell all that you wanted with a little patience.

On the current PTR, personal armor buffs like Fel Armor and Molten Armor are unaffected by Purge. No idea if it is intended.

Warlocks and mages just went nuts.

I surely hope this is an accident, because it would seriously buff warlock survivability. My 2's team does much better against warlock/healer when I dispell fel armor...

I chuckled when I realized that they were using Paris Hilton's likeness as a money sink; video games echo reality in this case.

It's likely not. Mages and Locks are , in theory, supposed to be balanced around having a personal buff to make up for the cloth armor. (And hey, I'm guessing Inner Fire will get the same treatment.)

The fact that Inner Fire hasn't yet kind of makes me laugh. Haven't PvPriests been asking for this for years?

Seems kind of arbitrary to me. Why mage/warlock shields and not a whole host of other self buffs in the game?

Why make certain classes pay for dispel resistance but not others?

The Mage/Lock armors "feel" closer to stuff like Pally auras, DK presences, or Warrior stances, none of which are dispellable. It's nice to see that they're looking at the power of dispels in PvP now.

On that note why is the Paladin combat system still dispelable unless you spec very deep retribution?

Personally, I don't mind that much. If someone really wants to trade instants with me, that's fine. While they're dispelling and I'm rebuffing, I'm closing the distance or already beating on them with a large stick.

I'll grant you that it's a valid question, but Paladin seals cost a small fraction of what other buffs do. Even our Blessings are notably cheaper than other classes' buffs.

The main arguement for Fel/Mage/Ice/Molten/Demon Armor (hereby Fmimda) being undispellable is that they're relatively permanent buffs. Sans dispel, they last for half an hour, which in most cases is effectively indistinguishable from infinite. The classes are basically supposed to always have one of them active, much like stances, auras, aspects, and soon presences. Inner Fire has charges and ice bubble, mana shield, priest bubble, and soon shatter shield all drop after a certain amount of damage making them inherently temporary, meaning that dispelling them is a more quantitative effect. Seals have a 30-second duration and go away on judgement, making them inherently temporary rather than inherently indefinite.

This is not to say that some of these other abilities shouldn't get some sort of protect; Ret's reliance in seals is so absolute that the dispel protection is effectively necessary for the spec, if not the class, and if the other specs can't get that dispel protection then they really more to the rest of their combat system then they currently have. Meanwhile, against absorb effects it gives a cheap dispel an egregious damage-equivalence. However, while these considerations are large and I hope they do get addressed eventually (or even now), they are qualitatively different cases than the Fmimda buffs currently under consideration. Comparing the various buffs is, in my opinion, one of the weaker arguements for dispel protection on bubbles and seals.

You are correct PSGarak, but the difference between seals and armors is that seals are our entire combat system. In effect they are short-term weapon imbues (each one gives your weapon swing a different property) so is there really any reason for them to be dispelable? It is nearly the same as being able to dispel Windfury from a Shaman or Poisons from a Rogue (more the former than the later as Windfury is also one of the main combat components of Shamans while poisons are more like secondary effects).

How often are Holy/Prot Pallys using their Seals to do damage in PvP? It is nice to do burst dps as Holy, but you are judging the Seal.

While there are shockadins and some Protadins that would love Seals to be protected, I don't see it as necessary.
