Last I heard I thought they stop'd you from doing that?

Nope you can do it, mailed my alliance toon an heirloom mace yesterday from my horde character ... Quel'Dorei is a pretty good server ... if you want to VoA then play Horde, Alliance normally only wins WG on Tuesdays on this server :p

I think he's talking about the neutral AH trick - i don't think there are any neutral AHs anymore.

Ahh, yeah you can still do it .. just gotta watch out. You can use the neutral AH in Tanaris Desert ... Gadgetzan.

I imagine i could get a guildy to buy the auction and just pay him the amount from my main. You also make a ton of money from 60-80 so i doubt i would have much trouble with money

I've decided that i'm staying horde, so now i'm trying to decide whether to go Female Orc (who i heard look awesome as DK) or female Blood Elf (who i heard also look awesome), but for the life of me i can't find any good pictures of what end game female orcs/blood elfs look like in t9.5/10.

Orc's better.

Orc is second from left and Belf second from right.

And in-case you wanted to look at other's:

Orc's are widely considered to be the best choice for dk's because of their racials.

Nearly every dk in the top guilds are orc, if not all

I said the same thing.

You basically have your alliance toon set up an auction on a neutral AH, then have a friend buy it from their horde toon (you can't buy your own auctions) and the money goes to your alliance toon, minus the AH costs.

That little trick has been around since the introduction of Neutral AH. Gadgetzan and Booty Bay both have neutral Auction Houses you can use to send the money.

There's a cap of 20,000g when you transfer a character. That made sense back in 2005 but when you

have mounts like the motorcycle or mammoth that will cost that much: it's time to raise the cap.

Agreed. Not looking foward to transferring 3 toons to a new realm to move all my gold. The only plus side is two of 'em are 80's and only one is an alt/banker that'll I need to level to up to ten.

They seriously need to up the gold transfer and the toons per server limit.

[rant: Haters gota hate]

OK, last evening I got into an altercation with another player in an instance (Nexus HC).

Basically we had a rubbish tank. We didn't wipe or anything but the guy wasn't doing us any favours.

'Fair enough' I think, you can't win them all...as a DK I was happy to help manage agro and make sure the healer stayed alive.

I like to tank myself on occasion so I know it's not as easy as some pure dps players like to think.

Another player in the instance however didn't share my easy going attitude and insisted on whining and bullying the tank throughout the entire instance.

You know the kinda guy, thinks he knows everything and that no other player is as good as him and we'd all be dead if he weren't there.

Eventually I got fed up of the party spam and told him to 'give it a rest' and suggesting that he was distracting...which apparently landed me in the ****.

Insults started flying my way and accusations such as 'if you can't dps and text at the same time that's your problem'

I tried to just ignore it hoping the guy would leave and take his hate some place else...most likely into WG or something where he can yell at a few more people.

I thanked the healer noting that trying to heal a couple of melee characters with agro flying all over 'must have been like trying to heal a box of kittens'...he laughed and thanked me in return.

Mr. Hater decides that attention needs to go back onto him accusing me of being a suckup...despite my nature I was starting to get ****ed.

I let Mr. Hater know that I was just trying to be friendly and that my telling him to 'give it a rest' was simply my way of mediating between players and trying to help the instance go a little smoother.

All through this the tank had actually said nothing...just some vague comment about usually playing an unholy.

I tried to assure Mr. Hater that I was just trying to be friendly...the tank may suck but that's no reason to bully the player (if Mr. Hater didn't like it...why not just leave? Why did he have to go on and on at the guy?)

I suggested that I only worry encase one day one of these players getting bullied turns out to be a player with a disability (something I can relate to) and I gave down syndrome as an example.

(I know a full range of people which play with disabilities ranging from schizophrenia to aspergers through to dyslexia and so off the top of my head DS seemed like a reasonable example)

That's when the s*** hit the fan...Mr. Hater either misunderstood my meaning or simply wanted to twist what I said towards his own ends suggesting that I was

'some kind of sick f*** thinking that that s*** was funny' and that if I "even knew what down syndrome was I would know that there was no way some one like that would be playing this game"

He then continued on to surreptitiously announce his intention to 'tell on' me by contacting my guild master (a well known raider) and telling him of my sick conduct.

I lost it...giving up entirely on my reasoned argument and replaced it simply with 'f*** you!'

I'm expecting my guild master will receive a mail whilst I'm at work today with some twisted version of the discourse...

In honesty, I was just trying to be a friendly player.

This is why I hate most of the people in wow, usually when that happens I just respond with "your mom" some how and then just ignore that guy, not responding to his messages reallllly ****es them off, without acknowledgment they get bored and just basically yell at themselves.

Sounds exactly like my server and battlegroup. :p

[Got3n]

I'm kinda sad I took a break with ICC came out, I'm so behind on PVP gear, just picked up all my Wrathful offset pieces this weekend because of bonus honor, think made like 300k honor this weekend, now I need to find someone to do random 3v3 with.

[nubs]

Yeah Aliance tends to win in AV on my server as well. It's amazing how disorganized the horde are for that BG alone. As soon as we join some other BG they tend to win.

Having been on both sides of the battle, I know that the Alliance have a shorter trip and can kill the mid-way lieutenant NPC and topple more towers in a shorter amount of time. It's not perfectly symmetrical, and since Blizzard made it a race, the Horde have a slightly harder time. I prefer the days of old when AV used to go on for hours.

Week long AV's, where you would que up and play for hours on end. I loved it. Benefit of Oceanic and USA players being put onto the same server. That AV stay fulled 24/7 and ended like at maintenance or right before.
