Granted you could ressurect lady Vasjh for an Azshara/Naga expansion but I am not sure Blizzard would do that as people hated Vasjhir as it was(personally I enjoyed it when I did it once, it was refreshing, daring and innovative but I always did Hyjal in favour of Vashir after that).

Imo Frostfire is a beautiful zone if you see a picture of it. But when you spend hours and hours in it then its terrible, nothing but white snow with distant black mountains.
The Alliance:Horde ratio is pretty meaningless for a non-serious alt so long as your not on a PvP server. The connected AH has solved many of the problems.
And I think Vashj'ir in general is seen as pretty damn terrible. WoW isn't made for underwater combat and while I don't dislike the zone that much myself the general public seems to.

Vashj'ir was amazing imo. Better than that shitstain deepholm.
"We need another zone! IDEAS PEOPLE!"
"...Rocks?"
"FUCKING FANATASIC!"

I thought all the cata zones were actually pretty ok in their way. Vash'ir sucked if you were trying to rush through levelling, but otherwise it was good.
Deepholm rocks look really pretty

Teoita confirmed to be playing Braille version of WoW. Deepholm rocks pretty. My nutsack is prettier than that zone XD

Damn I hated Deepholm, color pallet was extremely depressing for me. The upside was that the sense of scale it offered was great. Vashj'ir I absolutely adored, great sense of scale, stunningly beautiful visuals, good quest flow. Would definitely level chars trough it again. I have no idea why people hated it, imo the mechanics of underwater fighting could have been rafined and it would have made for a great underwater raid to boot.

I could see some interesting mechanics just using the breath bar alone. Last phase of Keal thas / al akir kinda has the same thing as underwater combat and they've been really cool fights.

The AH is linked now? Just across factions or across battlegroup etc?
I'm 1; on a pvp server and 2; would join a high level guild so.. yeah

Auction Houses are linked between factions since WoD. The best part is when you are killed by someone in ashran and then have to buy their auctions afterwards

Just downed Mythic Kargath in a pug took 9 attempts was really suprised. Kinda funny cause I'm still 6/7N 4/7H.
Rolled a 86 on my helm but a holy pally in my guild rolled a 92... At least it went to a guildie lol.
I really wish my guild would all get back from holidays because I can never get into a good pug imp group without the achievement. The other day I begged my way into a group where I was the only one without the achieve, was given a warning not to fuck up, zero chances. Everything went smooth until the internet randomly decided to shit on me right as I was supposed to pick up the reaver. Needless to say when I logged back in I was no longer in the group... fml.

If you want imp done yourself do the following
Make group for imp:
Request 6/7 normal
invite 10 healers to like 9 dps
Enjoy 20 minute imp kill

You could have bought weapon and upgraded it weeks ago if you cared about DPS though, getting a wep to 655 is only 70k or so with whatever stats you want

Farming mounts is exhausting at times, but seeing results is nice. Got Mimiron's head and the Wind Drake from Alakir this week.

Am I the only one who thinks 70k is an absurd amount of money to have? Let alone to spend everything you have on 1 item.

No. I can hardly think of a scenario where splashing 70k out on a 655 weapon is worth it. If you have a ton of money.. maybe? I'd rather stick with 630/640/645's and just pick up a weapon from normal hm.

70k isnt much if you played at the start of the expansion, when mats were still worth something and just doing 5 minutes garrison per day got you 1k per character/garrison. I havent played for a few weeks now but with savage blood and the treasure follower missions from level 3 inn you can probably still get 1k per day.
What other reason is there to have money though? Repair costs arent really as high as they used to be compared to income and mats for raiding are in abundance. The best feast is basically for free as a side product in the garrison, flasks and potions are really cheap too. So gold just accumulates and other than looking nice in your bags all you can do with it is buy items that you will use for two weeks or so until you get an upgrade.
Edit: although i have to agree, if youre not looking to raid mythic, that item is probably useless anyway. better keep it and try to buy a mythic from bmah when theres one available. those probably go for several hundred k though.

There are several resources that you can farm for ~1-2k per hour that involve killing thousands of mobs that can drop BoE's. If you get a BoE, you'll instantly get ~10-100k gold added to your bank. That's assuming you have no other income or anything like profession/garrison bringing money, etc. I only cleared trash once on mythic Highmaul - that is, killed 1 boss then killed available trash - but we did it with ~10 people, it took like half an hour and the gold income averaged to ~15-20k per person with the four drops.
Several items are just too good to ignore. For 70k, either a Kyanos or a 655 weapon for example - these are huge upgrades, not small. You can literally get 3-5 in a raid and still gain less DPS than you would have from equipping EITHER a kyanos OR a weapon, especially if you're not clearing heroic modes
