So, went to change 40 emblems of triumph to conquest so I can get gems with them. Accidentally changed 40 emblems of frost to triumph. I was 2 badges away from the ilvl 264 gloves...I think a little bit of me died on the inside.
You know that you can just ticket that and they'll refund them right? I did that a few months ago, accidentally changed Frost to Triumph instead of Triumph to Conquest, and they GM'd them back to me within the next day.
That svcks, at least the emblems are easy to get. You can theoretically get full tier 10 by doing only HC instances, so yeah...It seems Cataclysm will make getting the really good gear far more difficult, about time I say.
Really, I'm not a hardcoe raider and I'm okay with that. In vanilla and BC I never had the best gear, and that was fine, I didn't deserve that gear so why should I have it? Hopefully Cataclysm forces me to actually work for it, I may not do it, but I still want that gear to feel rewarding.
I would consider myself "hardcoe", but WOTLK hardcoe. I
used to be actually hardcoe, but this Xpac has just been stupidly easy. Nothing in WOTLK is hardcoe except a few of the encounters. Algalon, when it was relevant, TOGC 25 Anub, when it was relevant, and hardmode LK 25/10. That's hardcoe. But other than that, yeah, no.
