Looks like Blizzard changed their [url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25968987278&sid=1]mind[/url].
[quote=Blizzard]Hello everyone,
I'd like to take some time to speak with all of you regarding our desire to make the Blizzard forums a better place for players to discuss our games. We've been constantly monitoring the feedback you've given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our forums. As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums.
It's important to note that we still remain committed to improving our forums. Our efforts are driven 100% by the desire to find ways to make our community areas more welcoming for players and encourage more constructive conversations about our games. We will still move forward with new forum features such as conversation threading, the ability to rate posts up or down, improved search functionality, and more. However, when we launch the new StarCraft II forums that include these new features, you will be posting by your StarCraft II Battle.net character name + character code, not your real name. The upgraded World of Warcraft forums with these new features will launch close to the release of Cataclysm, and also will not require your real name.
I want to make sure it's clear that our plans for the forums are completely separate from our plans for the optional in-game Real ID system now live with World of Warcraft and launching soon with StarCraft II. We believe that the powerful communications functionality enabled by Real ID, such as cross-game and cross-realm chat, make Battle.net a great place for players to stay connected to real-life friends and family while playing Blizzard games. And of course, you'll still be able to keep your relationships at the anonymous, character level if you so choose when you communicate with other players in game. Over time, we will continue to evolve Real ID on Battle.net to add new and exciting functionality within our games for players who decide to use the feature.
In closing, I want to point out that our connection with our community has always been and will always be extremely important to us. We strongly believe that Every Voice Matters, ( [url]http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/mission.html[/url] ) and we feel fortunate to have a community that cares so passionately about our games. We will always appreciate the feedback and support of our players, which has been a key to Blizzard's success from the beginning.

[QUOTE=lum1naire;23224629]so I'm bad level 69 druid, got 1000 gold so I was like fuck it let's get dual spec and get resto
healed my first instance ever, utgarde keep, and realized I'm horrible
we wiped twice (once on the boss) but I think the worst part was how many times our melee dps died (just the rogue)
too bad I can't find any nice, clean and updated healer UI's off WoWinterface that I like since the current one I use is kind of terrible for it

lol and I heard healing 5 mans was really easy[/QUOTE]
Healing WotLK dungeons around level 68 was a difficult transition for me as well. I think it all gets alot easier at level 80, when you get nourish, a good tank heal. Until then, just grind it out.
I don't think people are praising Blizzard even more, just praising how they are capable of listening to their community. Definitely something to be happy about.
On the one hand, it's a good thing they listen to their community. On the other hand, it's also a bad thing. If enough people cry about something, it's inmediatly changed back. I remember a year or two-three ago they absolutely nerfed Life Tap. It made sense from one PoV because Blizz really cares about mana regen, but half the Warlock community stormed the forums and threathened quitting, lots of "I quit" posts, etc, and within a day a hotfix went up putting Life Tap back to it's normal way.
I bet if enough people started crying about how broken [X class] is and that they keep doing this and that better than other classes, but it's just say a matter of scaling, to think of a quick example. Enough crying happens? Blizz will nerf it.
They still depend on good arguments and/or just more weight of numbers for one side or the other.
See the druid tree change for Cata. So many whiners but Blizzard straight up said "You like Resto druid for the tree form? Tough shit"

called it
Now i'm FUCKING pissed. I'm a fresh 80, so naturally i'm trying to gear up by doing my hc's. I've done a few, no epics for me yet. So [url]http://www.wowhead.com/item=37642[/url] drops and I praise the heavens! I'm overjoyed, as I have 2 crappy rings. Then, the fucking WARRIOR fucking TANK rolls need on it and says he needs it for offspec. So, this motherfucker rolls need on what's OBVIOUSLY a rogue item. I ask him why and he says he needs it for offspec because Agility gives AP. We BOTH roll 67 and the fucking system decides to give it to him. By now we're all shouting at him, and I say "Please give it to me." He opens trade, puts it in, waits for about 10 seconds, then FUCKING LEAVES THE DUNGEON AND KEEPS THE RING. URRRRRGHHHHHHHH
RAGE
MORE DUNGEON RAGE
Today i bring you the tale of the dk tank that doesn't know what DnD is, the paladin healer specced retri and wearing full dps gear, the druid specced in balance but for some reason in a feral form, and the priest that can't speak english for shit and just says ?? when we want her to heal instead.
I left.

Or they want to make it so you have a bit more variety in your healing
Leveling an alt.
Get into a group for SM Library.
Look at warrior tank.
He has Hydrocane.
I had a great dungeon experience today. Healed Utgarde again, except this time with mouseover macro's and such. Had an exceptional tank with good gear, and it went well. Didn't bother using Lifebloom so it went by smoothly.
Only problem was the DPS was kind of terrible. The rogue was pulling around 300, and the shaman 300-400ish. I don't even understand how they can do that.

seem's like from what I've read, they're making druids more stationary if anything
If you're on Cruelty/Crueldad battlegroup, add Dalfus to your ignore list. He is the ninja in question.

I'm going to go a head and feel good about helping you to achieve this - regaurdless to what you say :p
oh fuck that's what im gonna do!
i'm gonna get dual spec and heal dungeons when i get bored of questing
[editline]03:17PM[/editline]
i have no idea how to heal though
Is player below 100% health? If yes then cast a heal appropriate to how much you want to heal them for.

I love when this shit happens. I mean, it sucks too and I usually leave, but it's always a good laugh.
Today we had a pretty decent group, involving an innocent 2.9 gearscore Shaman who just hit 80, and a decently geared Rogue and Mage. The tank was a DK and did a good job, but said nothing.
A fight broke out in party chat over the mage waiting for me to rez her instead of walking. I told them both to shut up and said I didn't mind. The rogue got all mad and I ended up shitting on him to the point where he quit typing and instantly left after we finished. Oh internet...
Shadow Labyrinth.
Our tank, which was actually really good accidentally pulled too much, we were infront of the 2nd to last boss, the orc before Murmur, our healer died and only me and our Blood Elf paladin survived, so I said ''ress our healer(i said his name ofc)'' and he says ''How'', ''Use redemption'', ''I dont have that'' and we all went ''What?'' and then I asked ''Dude, didnt you do the quest at like.. level 12 or something..? Every paladin has redemption..'' and then he left.
um i think you get redemption without doing the quest now

I'm not at all surprised. Never has Blizzard done anything before that's gotten [i]this much[/i] negative feedback, and Blizzard has always been suckers when it comes to giving in to complaints.

I only want to check my auctions before I go to bed. Why can't the login servers be back online.
Anybody who's a US player play on the battlegroup vengeance? If so dungeon with me pl0x?
You can't group with each other just by being on the same battlegroup. You have to be on the same realm.
