Lock is kinda weak right now. Aff seems to do really reasonable single target and destro does more burst/AoE, but Demo got nerfed to hell and none of what I can do seems to compare to what a Hunter or a Warrior can put out.

Now that everyone and their dog is done with the intro quests I would recomend everyone to get all their alts through it, up until getting your first follower. Your alts will start getting the passive GRs from the box, so if you decide to play them some time in the future they'll have a nice stack ready to go.
On topic of GRs how do you get them after finishing quest lines in all zones and getting all treasuers and rares? Only garrison box, lumer mill and trading post?

And missions, get follower with scavenger trait and it brings you 200% more GR from missions, do missions with 100 gr reward with him, profit.

So that could mean that probably the other 7 million or less got WoD already before that. Exactly. It's still missing Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and apparently the last 5 days.

There's no way the warrior tanked a heroic in glad stance though. For starters he'd have 25% less stamina and 25% more damage taken. Not to mention the fact that glad stance has no threat generation bonusses.
Maybe it will be possible later in the expansion with higher gear levels but right now? No way.

Those things you said + missions + rares because they respawn daily etc.
You don't need "major" amounts of resources anyway after the 2k you need to get level 3 garrison. After that you could quite easily sit at around 300-500 resources and be more than comfortable.
I have level 3 garrison on both my main and alt now and just farming a few more resources for getting my barn up and eventually lumber mill. Of course as soon as i have done the 150 work orders? to get level 3 profession buildings will dump everything into them xD

Wait, you 'have to' kill rares once a day?
I was hoping they'd be unique kills...

Don't have too, but rares are unique kill and some are daily rares and some are just regular rares like from MoP timer
My Rare Finder - Addon
This addon here puts them all over your map and tells you which ones are daily and which ones are unique kills. You can set it so the unique rares dont show up after that character has killed them (on the mini map)

Sure, but tanking wasn't the point. Alventenie never mentioned he was tanking.

Guys, in your opinions, Outland or Ravencrest?
What about login queues?

I played in Ravencrest during vanilla and BC days. Lots of Nordic/danish people, probably still the same. F(r)iend of mine plays there on alliance and he has to go to low level instances and try not to get disconnected to avoid queues. So i guess there's some.
Think Bumblebee and/or some other TLers played on Ravencrest? They'll know.

Yeah good point. I saw prot and just assumed tank.
I must be doing something wrong when solo'ing as Gladiator though, I don't feel my dps is that high. Nothing compared to my hunter or mage.

I'm on Ravencrest with my holy pala, and I think it's a really good server for alliance. These days I think there are queues, but it will die down eventually I think.

I went from 90 to 94 and only saw six other players the entire time (three zones). Seems like a hood time to level alts because the leveling content is a ghost town.

The expansion is really cool, arguably the best ever actually. Regarding balance atm it's a clusterfuck since the current build is the same the used to try and balance lvl 90 around 6.0 talents/skills, with the result that some specs are op as hell while others are hilariously awful (fire mages in particular).

I wouldn't rush to judge anything about this expansion just yet. The first tier of raid content hasn't even been released.
If we're going off of just reactions from the leveling and gearing process Cataclysm was by far my favorite expansion and I think everyone agrees that it fell off quite heavily in the later tiers.
