Can you still get a Finkle's Skinner? ZG's gone so you can't get that one anymore. That's worth +10 there and if I recall there's an enchant for +5 to gloves. Back in the day, you actually needed the bonuses in order to skin things in raids. I'd say this is a good indication we'll be returning to those days. That would get you to +15 assuming you can wield a dagger. If you can DW daggers, it gets you to +25.

Has been this way since 4.xx dropped. I always thought skill required was mob level x 5.

So how an 82 cannot be skinned is beyond me.

And what the neurotic fanbois can't seem to grasp is that all this says is this is yet another example of sloppiness.

Pre patch I could skin them.

Post patch I can't. No reason, no explanation, just can't now.


As to why anyone would run heroics? Duh, everyone is getting exalted with bilgewater cartel for the goblin trike! Aren't you?

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.



where do you buy tinfoil? everywhere i look it's all aluminum...

All this says to me is that you are determined to find something, anything, no matter how silly, to whine and cry about.

Who sells the tabard? I walked around for a while in that rat maze, but couldn't find a quartermaster.

But hey, the game is perfect, right?



Can you find one post from regular posters here that state the game is perfect? (hint: no)


---------------------------------


I agree with Spooky this is sloppy, they do have done a lot of sloppy things around expansions. Even the renowned A Team who seem to get the benefit of revisionist history.


I don't think this ranks very high on the sloppy list, but it's there somewhere.

An oversight? Yep. Sloppy? Yep. But in the spirit of fairness, any skinner that claims they can't skin something requiring a 455 skill is clearly a B team skinner. /shrug
