I don't generally call myself a fanboi of blizzard, far from it. I've been banned from the Blizzard forums enough times to not even bother posting there anymore.
Yep you have to be careful there; they are really adverse to criticism toward the company or employees like calling GC out for example and can be outright vindictive about it.. Rumor has it that they can flag individual accounts for punishment,like make it so the odds of you winning a roll or getting drops beyond white trash drops etc... go in the toilet. It has even been suggested that if you make them mad enough your account will get mysteriously stolen and for some reason won't be able to restore all your stuff.
Yes this is all true and also just as easily countered. You need to protect yourself. If you are playing with out wrapping your mouse and keyboard in tinfoil first you deserve what you get. As soon as I came back to WoW I went and bought as much tin foil as I could carry home to combat the evil corporation I would be willingly giving money to in exchange for entertainment.

Oh crud! I got caught whining again! Quick, divert attention away from my whining by pitifully taking a jab at the person who called me out on it!
It's ok Spooky, I understand. Must be tough to have your double standards and whining pointed out so painfully. Carry on. 
Keep on dancin'!

Sorry, we "Blizzard fanbois" are too busy enjoying the new quests, zones, and other fun stuff Blizzard just released (Plants vs Zombies mini game anyone?) to really care all that much about not being able to skin heroic bosses for a week. I know how utterly game breaking and totally unacceptable it is for you Blizzard haters, but don't get too upset. It won't be a problem for long.
You may now carry on with your regularly scheduled whining and crying about the silliest shit.
Since when is vulgarity allowed on vnboards, can a mod please do something about this poster and his/her atrocious language.

It is hilarious how some people think WoW is perfect in every way. And stuff like thisd is ignored, and if you complain you are a whiner and should wait til you are 85 when everything will be balanaced. Becuz we know how good they are at balancing. Face it, the B team takes stuff that the A team got right and messes it up.
But hey, the game is perfect, right?

You can raise skinng to 470? I thought it was locked to 450 like the rest of the skills.
Did I miss something?

You can't get the base skill up there, but there are a couple items that give a bonus to it

No one has ever said the game is perfect. This board has 5+ years of post history to prove that point.
The funny part is when people start citing "B Team Blunders" about how the game is going downhill, and THIS is what they point out?
Seriously, go play any other MMO for 5 minutes and you'll have a list of things 100 times more significant and annoying then "OMG I can't skin a boss for the next 2 weeks I've been robbed of 1 gold worth of mats!?!"

Hey, now. Your common sense analysis is (probably) unwelcome around here.

*shrug* We must read different replies. I see a lot of fanbois who just go nuts when someone says something bad about the game. And yes, believe it or not, the B team blunders, A L O T. Most of the good things left in the game are holdovers from the old Dev team that GC hasn't screwed up yet.

Undoubtably annoying and sloppy by blizzard.
But.
Why would anyone be running heroics right now? Saving points? Why? You'll get 5x the points per dungeon at least in cata. Surely there are better ways to waste time. You could be doing molten core or otherwise proving how amazing you are at mowing down gray cons for useless achievements, for ex.
You probably don't NEED the leather either...or could suffer thru with the multiple stacks you'd get skinning everything else in there.
Eh, whatever floats your boat.
I'm with the alt crowd right now - tons of redone zones, instances, quests, and with the class mutilations it's like a whole new game. Exploring the changes and new stuff is considerably more interesting than running heroic #2001 (and I'm sure I've run at least 2000 heroics between my 10 80's).
Or doing BGs - with the new tighter level ranges (5 per band instead of 10) and with the zillion alts running around they're less twink/BoA infested (although seems like 75% of people with BoAs musta got em by accident because they can't play their alts any more than they can play their 80's).
