Jpc not streaming means alot to me ngl
Means he has something secret and op?
Wow’s endgame scene is dying slowly
Or that he quit
Oh
Yeah it is unfort
Pvp too
I think all the classic variations did segment the population
Ramfam is gone, windi’s prime days pushing era in bfa is gone
We had really big names back then
No one wins on the content creation side with that yeah
I miss Ramfam, loved his ui too
Yeah
Competetive against naowh etc
people just getting old bror
Streamers feel obligated to stream he one with highest view count
My ui is slightly ramfam inspired if u haven’t noticed
My player frame isn’t the same however it used to be
In DF
then i changed it
Idk if u saw my current ui but my rogue package’s style is the same
I kinda changed it to shadowy theme
show
I haven’t seen urs in. While let me check it out l. Maybe if you streamed more 👀👀
U can find it in my vods
I wanted to change my icons similar to the high res ones you have @proven ocean but my brain is just SO trained on the classic ones
Yours look so much better though
Classic ones are cooked
I have the HD icons. Mage discord roasted my Ui so I had to step my game up
why do u care what mages think
ngl zeross I imported your rogue WA the other day just to see if there was anything good I can yoink for my rogue WA and its kinda cooked lmfao. Also the trinkets or w/e labled "redbull 1, 2, 3" were funny
Send the pic they roasted
I think Zacs ui is bis
Pretty clean
Except!
For the fucking rectangles
I hate the squished icons
Dwarf ass lookin ui
Bro that’s like his whole ui lmao which is why I hate it no offense squished icons ugly imo
ok now im interested
Don’t speak to me or my child ever again
Text only WA pack that recreates icons in ascii art when
Imo I think atrocity ui is goated idk if it’s optimal for rogue tho
Theres no optimal ui for anything
now that i brought it up, i might update the text only pack 
optimal is whatever works best for you
im not a huge fan of his ui personally but obviously a lot of people are
and its definitely well made
apparently someone comented on one of my other weak aura packs months ago and i never saw it
Yeah just meant that it tracks too many things but love the layout
I like tracking the bare minimum
can probably disable whatever you dont want to track, thats what i do normally with wa packs
though some implode when you do that
god this is cursed
honestly i want to use this for a raid night just so when people watch my pov they get stunlocked
i ahve to add in the UB stuff
Yeah in terms of it being clean and having important information though it's really good

god im too lazy to do a full on ui text only overhaul
Are these sims already updated with the latest tuning?
i dont think assassination is done
Just scroll back in the channel the last hour for the good PTR sim talk
but imagine how good it would be
text only nameplates
nah im done messing with it
i was wrong, i made this back in s3 df
so it was missing all the hero talent shit
which i added ds and trickster
sin isnt ready
come back when its live
nah I'm going to play outlaw anyway, I was just wondering how updated it is, as I see that someone often appears typing !fuu
the actual patchwerk numbers are largely useless anyway
imo the sheet is most useful when he adds trinket comparisons and such
is there any way to see the effect on dps for each tier set on specs, just to compare the increase
Are we still going to stack the versa after 33%, or are we going to leaning more towards crit?
it's still mostly vers
fully geared prolly has like 27000 vers 10000 crit
at some point vers and crit are fairly similar so just have to ask top gear
with the new Killing Spree, what happens if your initial target dies?
its not targeted, you just keep firing
if there are targets nearby, you shoot at them, if not, you hit nothing
Another KS win, add it to the board boys
idk if this was answered already, do we use dispatch on 5 + cp if you have coup de grace buff?
Hey is there an addon that auto press or macro Vanish under certain conditions ?
You don't want to do that
Yes, normal finishing priority with certain minmax exception if you would press SS and waste your unseen blade proc

Thanks!
our damage is so flat..
ill let shindig explain it to u
that specific image is cause of the variable cooldown reduction
Ofc we kinda dip in and out of vanish
I've woken up at 5 10 am specifically to buy wow tokens at the PEAK
EU boys in 2mins (5 : 11 : 52secs) wow tokens gonna hit giga peak time to buy

holyyyy
hm why the fuck are my weak auras that are anchored to my focus loading on login when i dont even have a focus
idk blizz ui update maybe

Can one of y'all explain this to me
are you 10 ilvl
What
?
Im lvl 22
what ilvl is your gear
which part
ok ye
you didnt ask a question
i explained why your damage is donut level
Im confused like what it does, it just tells me its a finishing move
thats all it does
ok so you spend your CP
damage based on combo points
so you build combo points
then you can press dispatch
more CP u spend, more empowered your finisher is
So what makes it different to Evicerate?
right now? nothing
Wait wtf
Envenom = Assa
later on, mostly nothing but yeah dispatch is just an outlaw flavored eviscerate
It replaced it!
yes
It replaced my Evicerate!
omg it did!
eviscerate is for sub rogue
wow
But why does it change if they're all the same?
asking why some abilities have different flavor/skins despite them mechanically being the same as others is like asking why the sky is blue haha
thats how wow does flavor
its just fantasy
its like how half the mounts in this game have the same skeleton just different cosmetic surgery
its a game
😭 Ig, seems a little silly but Ill go with it. Ty
but youve made the right choice playing outlaw
yeah its just their way of making each spec feel a little unique from each other
Im sorry, they don't really do this for mage and thats the only class I've played for 10+ years
the other two specs are for crayon munchers
even though theyre all the same button
and yes I know technically mage keeps the others
arcane mage has 2 buttons
Tbf, Im playing outlaw cuz I play fire mage 😂 I haven't tried out the RNG yet tho
3, 3
Yea, thanks to Porom! Without Porom's barrage helper, we would be memorizing conditions
Arcane would be atrocious to play without it
good thing combat weak auras are perfectly safe and not going anywhere
True

they arent
dont worry
i never worry
nothing blizzard has said implies they will be removing WAs
imagine having frown lines
the only thing they have implied is that they want to make having WAs less valuable
Btw I know I don't have to worry about it rn, but Im basically pressing 234 and I just wanna ask...When do you press the die?
at your level there is no rule
I guess so, Im jw
outlaw changes a LOT as you move more into the tree
I see I see
if I were you id just press it whenver your buff runs out
it gives you 1 of 6 buffs
sometimes 2 and sometimes 5
this person has asked like 3 times what to do and you keep replying "dont worry about it"
what the heck is porom?
Everything dies so quickly 😭 I only die if I have more than 1 enemy
He's our mage in the mage discord. He's an arcane enthusiast
I just gave an answer though 😭
He's amazing
true
Its okay, when I'm 80 and asking stupid questions cuz nobody answers them, I'll refer back to this /J
You want to press the Die when you have no buffs or just one buff
but yeah itll be hard to identify whether you have one of the rtb buffs
unless you download a wa
because its 1 of 6 unique buffs
there are more rules behind it but i just keep it simple for ye
Ah thats why I don't have to worry about it, the only buff I really have is adrenaline lmao
you could also just press the Die on CD
whenever its up
Oh mewo, I'm a girl :3
Oh
I could yes, but I don't wanna build bad habits so I've just been doing anything
i am the he
for now I would just roll every 30ish seconds
I will say, grappling hook? 10/10 skip in caves
grapple is amazing
you get 4 of them later on
outlaw makes mage seem like a turtle
Especially the fact I can use it stealthed
🤌 Lmao too bad though, Ill never give up my walking hearthstone
also I just want to make youre aware, outlaw can feel pretty awful during the leveling experience
@rare moth I really recommend the FAQ written by our resident Outlaw Lord, first of the pirates, last of the green text outlaws, legendary cookgod of the outlaw APL, @gaunt phoenix :
https://discord.com/channels/124169701881282560/856897810536071208
so dont let the leveling experience discourage you
the spec really isnt "complete" until youre max level
like a lot of its mechanics just dont function very well before max level
I haven't had a bad time so far, but Im also doing legion lmao
I'll concede tho, fire is terrible leveling. Frost is the MVP
If you don't want to build bad habits
and even while leveling since outlaw relies on restealths/vanishes to do its proper rotation and vanishing while fighting a mob can cause it to reset
yeah assa/sub are both quite good for leveling
if you find outlaw feeling too slow
I will! when im 80 ;3 so I have the proper tree. Rn Im using the starter build blizz makes you do
@rare moth dont listen to him assa and sub will rot your brain and make you become geriatric
Slow?! It kills everything too fast 😂
LOL
yeah it can slow down a little eventually
compared to the other two specs
especially from 70-80
Would you say sub is frost and assa is arcane? So my peanut brain understands
I would say sub is devoker and assa is ret paladin with no gear
whatever you do dont link screenshots of logs or details in the assa channel, their sensitive souls will be pained and they'll be upset over nothing
tread carefully
also outlaw leveling is really fast
once you learn more talents you'll be one shotting most things very quickly when coming out of stealth
is that a thing?
nah most likely just a joke i dont think they are actually annoyed by it
The hivemind council of Assa is indeed not upset
You should see the mage discord when you mention 1/3 things
- Editing the SQW window
- No log link
- FoTM spec/"Which spec best spec" questions
lol thats a good way to describe them, makes a lot of sense
what is the mage opinion on SQW?
Spell queue window
or your ejust saying it sparks a huge discussion every time
spell queue window
psh noob
lmao
this dude
i just call it spell queue man
Spell queue window
spell queue window
Its a sin to edit the SQW window, its only for people who want to convince themselves that they're doing higher dps when they're not and Rogues apparently make propaganda about it
ok
spell queue window
i 100% understand
oh whaaaaat
it's a window man
q u e u e
w i n d o w
forgive me pleeees
spelled it, beast mode
yeah honestly I think its rather rare for a rogue to not lower sqw
No seriously, do not mention it in there lmao they'll laugh at you and bully you
Consider me one of em lol Im not doing that cuz I main mage
well on the topic of SQW
its definitely playable without changing it
but many people experience your button press getting "stuck" with too high of a sqw on outlaw
i need to figure out what to have it on before tier starts
so if youre mashing the wrong button
have you tried 184
184?
so specific!
i think 183
hmm
hm
that might be too little but maybe
Wdym getting stuck? Can you show a visual of this?
sure leme bust out the mspaint
the last person who said that was raiding with a rtx 2060
playing with 400ms is like, being in antartica with dialup internet
I have it happen to me in raid too though
and I have a 4070ti
hm skill issued it seems
i have a 5080 and i felt like my brain was dissolving playing with 400ms
with 9800xddddddd
No I meant because for me, at least for mage, when I pre-cast pyro, I can queue up Phoenix and I see it highlight on my bar that its queue'd
i see
So I wanna see what they mean by "stuck"
i suspect so but maybe several things are related to it
maybe outlaw specific bug
cos of the niche gcd
i somehow doubt that
i somehow doubt that
dam
Can I share a mage pov video here to show yall or is that against the rules cuz its not rogue?
yea you will be banned
outlaws are freedom of speechers
imaging playing the hero class mage and deciding to fall to the depths of hell (outlaw)
in this safe gold text zone
Ok ok
so if this is your button pressing within a gcd, some people report that even though you are pressing pistol shot at the end of your gcd, because you put ambush in at the start of your sqw, it still ends up casting ambush when your gcd is ready again even though you wanted pistol shot
I play fire, it was meant to happen
such an artist
ELI5 please
no i didnt ask for caveman
I wanted ambush
this is the reason why
yeah true
but would you rather have
a delayed gcd
or an incorrect gcd
if you lower your window
you would have gotten maybe a 50ms delayed gcd
just get better internet
who was it that was a 400ms advocate
but the correct gcd
yea, that's why some people prefer a very low spell queue even if it is hurting them over time
yeah i played 100ms for a while and yup was defo losing gcds
hurting the timing of their gcds but benefiting the correctness of their button presses
100%
I think theres a sweet spot
so i went to like 160ms
but then still had issues
so then went 300ms
and felt like a ghost was attacking me
and went back down to 200ms again
Ok screenshot better, see how my PF is highlighted? Thats my queue. Pf is gonna launch with pyro
Ye
yeah but mage motto is ABC
0.2 x 2 0.4
So basically, how does this look for Outlaw rogue?
er
mechanically it operates the same
Like do y'all not see it highlight?
well
well we dont have casts so we dont see it that way
no highlight
i dont show my action bars
we have instant gcds
no casts
but
things can feel 'floaty'
at 400ms as outlaw
well this is just my feeling
but i really dont know how to put it in words
like in the shitty mspaint I showed, what can happen is you get a "wrong" button press sometimes
🤔 Can you show me your pov with Windows + Alt R?
Its windows built in screen record
windows in current year
Idk if you use mac, idk that one
i could but im in bed atm scratching my nose
lmao
based
my eyes are like 80% progress done towards closing
and will be in dream land
dreaming of the 10 wow tokens i bought today at peak time for a grand price of 472,485g each
Bro I stopped attacking the dummy and I've had 3 time anomaly combusts 😭 Why can't this happen in raids/mythics
thats mid gcd
the rotational swipe you see on sinister strike, between the eyes, kidney shot is my global cooldown
WHY ARE THEY WATCHING ME
ty this is just a vod from way earlier in season lol
just playing with homies
wait what do they change directions?
thats so funny
Wait wait wait, im confused, is the highlighted 3M spell the one you're queueing?
only for awang and no one else
wait can you distract the vents?
ahahah thats awang
no thats a wa
nothing is queued in that clip sorry leme find a time when I have something queued
I dont really visually track "queueing"
no it just randomly turns for some reason
well i dont think they do every time
neither do npcs
i see
you have to be very close
Yeah I dont have the spell queue visually tracked
I think most outlaws dont
you just mash the button you want next lol
ok eyes shut gn
idk if you can distract them though that would be worth trying
Oh but yea I get that, we do that with mage, hold on, lemme see if I can "chain cast" sinister strike
you can spell queue instant casts yeah
if you just mash ss it will go off perfectly in sync with gcd
as long asyoure mashing at a faster frequency than your sqw
for when workshop comes back in 4 years 
i just want to murder people
Ok maybe its cuz Im low level but do yall wait for your energy to regen between buttons too?
thats how u wanna spend ur last few days with killing(myself) spree?
energy starvation is an interesting thing on outlaw
Because Im trying to visually see it
at endgame energy is not really a concern
Wdym?
its very feast or famine
imma go on a world tour and record all the BS that happens so i can send it to anyone who says "i prefer the old KS" next season
when doing your rotation very well 95% of the time energy is ignored entirely
but if you have bad luck or you make some mistakes, you can quickly feel energy starved
but at low levels, energy runs out very fast
😭 Dude, try mage with the "Fake it til you make it" I played my lvl 75 gnome frost mage and for an HOUR sitting there with Soleah, I never ran close to out of mana
it for sure feels like an older version of enhance shaman, where sometimes you can just proc nothing and have to auto attack
which i personally dont like
its a very commonly observed painpoint for outlaws gameplay
Oh that sounds fun ngl punishing for not doing it right? sounds like arcane
i think it wont change to have energy never matter for us though
yeah thats sometimes accurate
but there are times where you play perfectly
and run out of energy
simply due to rng
those are the instances that people usually dont like
but theyre pretty rare
people tend to misattribute lack of skill to badluck though
its most painful during crackshot
I would say 9/10 times energy starvation results from some amount of misplay
i think theres too many factors to say definitively how often its cause of misplay
but yeah its similar to arcane where when youre out of aracne charges cuz you messed up and you have to cast the SLOWEST arcane blasts ever
for example haste effects how much energy you have
feels fuckign horrible
Ok maybe Ill see the SQW yall are referring to at end game, unless there's a video of this, cuz so far Im ngl, it reminds me of like Ninja Gaiden 
similar to outlaw
yeah if 400 feels normal to you I would just stay there
If you've ever played NG, Getting Ryu's combo's wrong will in fact kill you
as you play the spec more and you might notice the wrong ability go off than you intended then you could take a look at your sqw
You have to get em right or he takes massive damage
but tbh if your sqw isnt bothering you then dont change it
Idk if it is yet, Im only lvl 22
yeah and it sounds like youre accustomed to playing 400 on other specs
so I wouldnt mess with it for a while
im not sure actually
I think in the trial you can chagne spec now right?
I thought you could trial all the specs if you wanted
once you get through the first few quests
im not sure what first spec it forces you to play when you do the trial on rogue
Nope, assa
in terms of difficulty thats probably accurate
im not sure how the mage community views difficulty of fire vs arcane
but assa arguably has very high skill ceiling in m+
so while its easy to start on
its hard to master
They view fire as the hardest because of the APM
I think each of the rogue specs thinks of themselves uniquely
They view Frost as hard because they think its "too much" in comparison to arcane and fire
like outlaws think theyre the hardest but there are things about outlaw that are easy compared to assa or sub like cooldown management
And they view arcane as stupid easy because of the Porom WA
oh thats wild
from the outside frost was alwayss the easy one to me
Ive played some mage
arcane felt the most compelling in terms of difficulty
It is wild cuz the ONLY REASON arcane is easy is cuz of a WA
It just says "barrage now" when you have any of the requirements to barrage
how long did it take for you guys to become "comfortable" playing current outlaw?
So you don't think about your rotation too hard
like the month of bfa prepatch
TBF fire mage only manages 1 CD
So that is kinda easy
I think outlaw is easy bc I can turn my brain off and not manage cds 🙂

it kinda is tbf
outlaw has just had a ton of iterative changes
hard to say cuz I was kinda in the thick of it when outlaw got reworked in S3
so I learned it as the discord was developing the rotation
it's not like we went from bfa outlaw to current outlaw in one big leap, it was a bunch of small/medium changes every season for 3 expacs straight
i'm asking because, i'm doing alright with base outlaw (think DF s3)
but all the trickster shit
we def went from S2 to S3 in one big leap
just doesnt click
s2 to s3 was a big leap but also i was playing kir in both and so it wasn't that hard for me in a sense
trickster did take a little bit of time to get used to
HO has always been too big of a leap for my brain to properly get down
is it mainly the unseen blade mechanic thats giving you trouble?
It's like the added cognitive load is too much, for a spec that already has so much going on

Fun:
Ace max combo counter and Ace current combo counter
KS Ticking damage taken
at least next tier you can get away with fatebound everywhere
also that yeah
maybe not at the highest level of M+
Well the fact that I want to be using KS nearly on cd, but I have to think about if it's safe to use, then I have to keep track of UB procs to not waste coup procs but I also have to not vanish if KS cd is low
yeaaah
I agree its a lot
thankfully all that hard work and sweat and blood is thrown out the window for mastering KS next season lol
thankfully ks is going to stop killing you in 2 days
sometimes I mismanaged UB procs, but then it feels awful being low cp with Coup and stuck between "do I SS? but i waste UB procs, do I send at low cp?"
are you the one who said they play 400ms and just time thier gcd
it just feels unintuitive idk if you get me
yeah that's me
but it's "i don't have to time it bc it's 400ms" but yeah no mashing
the #outlaw-faq covers what to do there though
yeh dw i spent a lot of time reading all that
i just wanted to feel validated
in the struggle
its def awkard
i know there's at least one other person here who plays 400ms and doesn't mash but idr who
imo s3 DF was very smooth outlaw
healthiest hands in the outlaw community
i wish LOL
and trickster doenst add good gameplay
fatebound outlaw plays very very similar
i have wrist issues but they're all for reasons unrelated to outlaw
both trees are pretty wack in their own ways, maybe they get replaced next xpac
yeah too much jorkin?
i played too much dead cells or some shit
idk i was just not taking care of them at all and getting pisslow sleep for years
yeah but isnt it kinda shit in m+? i usually aim for title so it might not be that great of an alternative
sleeps bigggg
next season its better
but yeah if youre pushign title trickster is gona prob be better
yea i wouldnt go fatebound for title
personally I found the UB stack system to be a fun minigame
it flows pretty well once you get the hang of it
you almost always do KS->coup->vanish->repeat
I wouldnt mind if it wasnt on top of like 5 spinning plates
its just so strong at st that it looks similar in dungeony sims
like 9/10 times you can keep that cadence
sure yeah
are you also playing KiR then?
yup
yeaaah
I enjoy KiR so I have no issue with that
1pt fth?
2 fth
sleep is SO big, for like 2 years after i initially fucked up my wrists i was on like 5-7h sleep per day and now i consistently get 7.25-8.5h a day and I can legit feel the difference btwn 7 and 8 hours
i want to swap to 1 but im too used to 2
in college I just fucked my sleep by overconsuming caffeine for fucking years
4-5 hours a night
was horrendous
I feel WORLDS better now sleeping 7-8+ every night
thankfully i don't do caffeine i was just staying up too late on discord 
yeah i would never do that
yeah I mean the UB stuff is another plate for sure but I think its reasonably manageable with the right wa setup

real talk i think everyone should try to get 7.5h+ sleep per night for a week and then they'll realise they're trolling so hard by not doing that forever
sounds like less hours playing wow
yeh i already yoinked the WA you're thinking of
i just dont think about it enough i guess
it helps a lot
oh i hadn't considered that average person doesn't already have limited wow hours per day due to wrist issues
how quickly i forget
essentially on the wa, if you have stacks of UB then prio SS as your builder
if you have coup ready or you have it soon(3 stacks and have UB ready) then delay vanish to get a coup off
you get 2 stacks after KS, probably 1 with the cd of UB, where does the 4th come from? rng?
what
for the "free" UB
do you mean EB?
escalating blade is the thing that builds up to coup
unseen blade is the proc that creates a stack of EB
yeh i'm talking about that
KS gives you 2 free UB procs
but you still have to press SS
to generate the EB stack
it's rng
your auto attacks have a chance to reset the natural cd
ok ok so you don't always get a guaranteed coup after KS
KS doesnt give you EB
it gives you free UB
so after KS you almost always want to press SS at least twice
i think they are aware
but yeah the 4th could come from the cd naturally resetting or the auto attack reset that solo is mentioning
but lets say you have KS back, 3 stacks of EB, do you send KS, get to 4 EB, send Coup and keep going?
yeah
Ok i think its starting to make sense now

you want to consume that coup before you press SS again
cuz you will waste your other "free" UB procs
since you cant overstack EB
yeah honestly the more we talk about this its reminding me how confusing the system is hahaha
I swear it feels good once you get used to it
lol
oh wait the UB tracker in the !wa thing isnt the one I was thinking of
theres one from zac thats better
idk why you're struggling with this
foup rhymes with coup
you should be a natural
true
maybe it's pronounced "foop"
well it rhymes with coup so its foo

lol

I've been avoiding being racist the entire rest of my life so I am able to intentionally mispronounce french words without getting called out on it
Or gou-che, like touche
Many pirates were French I think
Ok
i only know Charles Vane, who was british iirc
I mean I think it was mainly Britain France Spain and Portugal back then?
Google is telling me Spain was often the victim of pirating due to their gold and silver transportation
holy netease is banning boosting
ye
england was also famous for hiring pirates to fuck with the spanish
a lot of famous pirates were privateers
good morning
short question, did a break in S2 and want to play again in S3
will the head enchant (Visions) and and the belt played in S3 ?
alright, thx
i'm sure no one will just read the headline and assume the statement says something it doesn't 
perfect
i think it only gets beaten by mythic belt for us?

at least from my read-through of the translation it's unclear if they're banning boosting for gold or only account sharing boosting/rmt stuff
maybe i just know we do eventually replace it
What game is netease
Lei Huo, the NetEase substudio operating World of Warcraft in China, has released a lengthy blog post decrying boosting and malicious behavior undermining fair play and achievement for genuine players, citing disciplinary actions taken against over 27,000 players and stricter enforcement measures to include revoking gear drops and season-long su...
I do think banning boosting is probably a good thing for the game
Did they just make it illegal to boost in china or
I think it's super unclear
.
I'm fine with it tbh
Account sharing is the focus of these measures, and any behavior involving account sharing may be suspecting of violating regulations.
Wasnt it like a whole economy in China?
so my gold worth a little more now?
Be a hard stance to take that boosting is good for the game
Or less since you can't buy boosts with it
Lol

my understanding is that cn had/has a huge account sharing boosting issue where ppl paid to get boosted where the boosters would legit just log into their account and play for them
shrug so far they said they only actioned at least 27000 accs
I mean without boosting how do normal people make gold tbf
?
Making gold in wow is super degenerate
Beo
Without boosting
"normal" people don't make money from boosts
they pay eartly access and farm plants 2-3 days
Normal people do professions and world quests
Ye they do a lot of raider and shit make gold from boosting
That's not a normal player...
Ye im talking about people that play the game normally
the average player doesn't mythic raid i'm sorry to inform you
Not degenerate that afk doing professions and hv
You're talking about the people who play the game he most
Which is literally abnormal
By definition
Ye the guys that play the actual game
my not so hardcore friends sell m+ boosts to earn gold
the majority of players get some gold from weeklies and shit and thats all they need
zac hows outlaw comparing to sub/assa next szn?
Worse
rlly?
Y'all forget sometimes that the median player doesn't have aotc
where are we lacking
AOE st prio
delves
Everything
Ain't nothing normal about selling boosts
Xd
yay
How am I going to make gold 
You aren't
theyre actioning against the specific 1% market
And that's okay
No it's not okay lol
I think you don't know how much it cost
To play wow
To do m+ and raid
But I also play wow
To buy consumables and shit
Buy less
it looks like they just want to ban boosting for the "esports" side of things
Without boosting it's litteraly impossible
so u can still make gold boosting 12s
Buy less what
Do more professions
maybe you should just pull yourself up by your bootstraps
I do think zac has a point here that the economy is fucked up in terms of cost to raid
Just don't buy consumables or what
Maybe don't use r3 consumables every time
spend less on avocado toast
What
Use r2

raid sales are gone
Or don't use them for bosses that you don't need them on lol
and chinese m+ teams cant just get free mythic raid gear now
wait does this impct buying like mythic raid boost
I think the solution is that like. Provide mythic raiders a way to get a lot of gold/resources or something
That's how a lot of people play the game Zac lololol
You're asking for enough money so that you can afford everything at all times at max rank 24/7
this is only in china right
Ye of course
like the problem here is that the entire economy and profession setup rn assumes that raiders have a lot of gold to spend because of boosting, but if that's not the case then it completely fucks up raiding because it's not like potions are going to get much cheaper
Yeah also it don't matter Zac youre safe
Mewo
just title stuff
Boosting for gold is completely nuked in china?
just dont be chinese and you're fine
Is it just rmt or
unclear imo
They didn't clarify
yeah i also read this as RMT/account sharing stuff only
I think they also mentioned specifically account sharing as well
it doesnt seem to mention gold anywhere
it specifies "illict boosts"
i do think its probably just rmt
Yeah acc sharing seems to be the big one
But isn't that already very against tos
Even though all rwf guilds use it
One thing that points to gold is then explicitly mentioning CE boosting
is there any evidence that rwf guilds account share though
they are right though that the ideal world is they ban boosting and also make it so high end players aren't gigafucked by them doing that
like they definitely used to, and talk frequently about how they used to
Max talked about it in s1
I don't think rwf guilds account share rn
but i tend to believe it when they say they dont anymore
When other teams were exploiting
yeah he said they havent done it in years
I remember him saying the opposite
but he also said he wonders if they could get away with it
holy
That "everyone does it for rwf"
nah I also recall him saying they haven't done it in ages
Ah
nah he explicitly has said multiple times they stopped doing it after people got banned in legion
I def got the opposite impression lol
and while obviously he could be lying i do tend to believe this one
he was specifically calling out how CN still did account sharing for boosts and stuff but outside of cn there's way less of a culture of doing that bc of previous crackdowns
Also p sure people have caught team liquid characters online and farming when the players are literally on stream not standing at their pcs
So idk
he brought up that being possible as a reason why they dont do it
I would REALLY doubt they aren't acc sharing
I think rwf players are likely to be doing anything up to and including things that can get them a rollback/3 day ban and nothing more
there might be leeway when ur literally playing with people in the same room lol
There's no reason they would force their players to stay awake and do heroic splits instead of just acc share
account sharing could be specific to sharing account information and details
Yeah but even that's technically against tos
Afaik
wahts in the tos
The reason is that they'd get permad
not if the chars on are on burner accounts
like
theres so many ways around this
from a competitive standpoint theres no reason they wouldnt be doing it
theres a reason the guilds tend to exploit even at risk of bans
You're assuming blizzard would be unwilling to tie the burner accounts to mains
brother if someone got banned for account sharing it wouldnt matter if its a burner, the person accused would be banned on any account they try to play
plus potentially blacklisted from official events like mdi
I mean you dont even legally have to tie an account to a person
so you definitely could subvert that
Blizzard don't have to prove anything to ban you
they wouldnt even know who "you" are
what
other than by IP
which is at a gaming building
there is no "you"
in this situation
they could do every race with brand new accounts all under the name zeross
lol
Don't like 80% of rwf raiders stream their pov
I don't think they can detect ingame boosting anyway
and then turn on their stream, immediately be noticed and banned
there could be a legal difference here between physically sharing an account vs giving away ur account info
I'm allowed to get a friend trough a resil key right
what by facial recognition?
lol
like
?
this is a stretch guys cmon
And he is allowed to give me some good to support me in my endeavours
zac are u in china
No but
idk you're like imagining that if blizzard found out liquid or echo (or an ip associated with their buildings however you want to explain it) was account sharing they just
