This is a super-useful post. It deserves its own topic. And certainly needs to be linked from the "scientific chest farming" guide (which does not contain much science really). In particular, the Band of Purification is a good indicator of your progress, so to speak. If you've got 8 or 9 of...

chest farming suddenly became very popular I started chest farming a week before the patch. Quite clever of me, eh? :-) But the problem is that I thought a week would be enough. Unfortunately, the RNG was not on my side. Looted tons of useless blue items. Every day I was getting at least 2...

a horde team with 6 stupid 24s (i think 5 of them were pre-mading, with the 6th one begging them to invite him into the premade after the battle) has just been pwned by an ally team, which had 2 24s, and I dont know how many p2ps (possibly zero - there were 2 people who have p2p chars there, but...

well, some f2p's abused the system lied and deceived GM's

Swoops, that's interesting. Let's think how we can scientifically test, whether the gap between f2p and p2p became wider or narrower. The best statistics would be as I described above. But no one bothered collecting that statistics in 5.2, so it's too late now... The best I can think of now...

rsq - if you can give me the statistics for "f2p pug wins against 6 24's" and "f2p pug wins against 3 24's" in 5.2. (All I know is that the latter was very frequent, and the former happened quite a few times, but I obviously don't remember how many times exactly). Then I will do the job of...

soskanky, i agree. That was just just an illustration. The proof is the likelihood of "f2p PUG wins against 6 24s." This was hard, but doable in 5.2.

the above test is a direct proof an indirect proof is this: I assert, that many f2p-restricted p2p's will go back to unrestricted p2p badness (and will play their f2p's much less frequently, if at all).

healing was nerfed (both directly by the factor of 1.4, and indirectly by nerfing resil). as a result: in 5.2, a good F2P healer or hybrid could confront any p2p in 5.3, even a badly skilled p2p can kill any F2P 1vs1 a convincing illustration of this for me personally was today, when a 24...

let's see how many F2P-restricted P2Ps will go back to using p2p enchants. The gap between F2P and P2P is wider now, and this may be too much of a temptation to many of them.

In 5.2, a good F2P PUG (a PUG with no bad players, and 3-4 good players) could routinely beat an enemy team with 2-3 bad 24s, and could often beat a team with up to 5-6 bad 24s (provided you had enough healers :-) ). In 5.3 it's no longer the case. The gap between F2Ps and P2Ps is much...

I looted them the day before yesterday on my prot pala :-)

this is an exciting, but also annoying change. Previously you could use wowhead's item database to figure out what is BiS for your target gear set. Now you need to search forum posts for scaling data. Resil is almost useless now. Therefore, all PvP heirlooms go into bank storage. Insignia...

it was very, very mean of you to loot the second MM!!! You should have opened the chest, seen the second MM, and left it there for someone else to pick! You cant wear 2 MM's at once, can you? very sad :-(

and if you are not levelling an f2p to 90, then why not create a separate account

levelling a twink f2p to 90 = essentially the same as deleting the char

Re: 'Laughing Skull Pre-made' - Closed nice and good people are fragile more often, than bad and thick-skinned ones

re: the above links dual AGM is not BiS. BiS is: 1) AGM + Insignia (or Tyranny), when AGM is not on CD and when you have less than 3 healers with you 2) Insignia + Tyranny, when AGM is on CD or when you have 3 healers with you

most people stack gold substitutes, because they haven't firmly decided yet, whether they will remain f2p forever or upgrade to p2p in the future

Once you've bought all the heirlooms, Honour Points become your gold I convert honour points to gold, and spend the gold on halaani whiskey
