Warlords of Draenor Changes for F2P

UV light kills the virus. You're safer out in the sun. Plus all that vitamin D you'll be getting helps your immune system.

UV like does kill it, and yet one of the sunniest, hottest places in the world is overrun by it. Go figure, there's a joke here somewhere.

 

[Buckeye]

I think the joke is the "it's not airborne" lies that the CDC is telling.

I know we're getting WAY OT here, but those counties are overrun by it because that's where the US tests its bio weapons. Ebola is patented.

This shit is straight out of V for Vendetta.

Spooky. I'll try and steer us back ot.

Have p2p chants really been nerfed? From what I've read in other threads is that they still function as they did before. Or is this something we'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out.

I consider myself a fairly liberal person who generally looks at the USA's history as full of revisionism aimed at putting ourselves in a positive light. I really think we are guilty of a lot of things that generally get hushed up or overlooked.

But you sir are full of genuine melarky.

snopes.com: Does the CDC Own an Ebola Patent?

The patent is so that researchers can do research to develop vaccines without having to pay.

I dunno if it's been posted here, but I just learned Feral and Guardian druids get thrash at level 14. We finally get an AoE back!

Patent CA2741523A1 - Human ebola virus species and compositions and methods thereof - Google Patents

That's a patent for a titled "EboBun" virus. Patents in the scientific community refer directly to discoveries rather than biological creations intended for chemical warfare.

Don't believe me? Ask yourself why a diabolical government would bother patenting the use of your perceived extermination virus. That makes absolutely no sense.

Back to the purpose of the patent discovery,

"The present invention is based upon the isolation and identification of a new human Ebola virus species, EboBun. EboBun was isolated from the patients suffering from hemorrhagic fever in a recent outbreak in Uganda."

They discovered a series of nucleotides that is a different version of Ebola, similar to other mutations of diseases in the past (namely, the Spanish Influenza from Pigs and H1N1 from Chickens). They're documenting their find and claiming it as their own. Scientists are quite the information hoarders.

But they're not mass murderers.

Was a good read though I haven't broken out my Google Scholar thinking cap in a while.

Yes :/ I regret doing so. On the other hand, the OP is for WoD changes, which will be live as of...well...today, actually. So it should be fairly obsolete in a bit, as it is.

It's patented to prevent someone else from doing research without paying hefty sums, and to protect the return on the investment into the vaccine.

Monsanto regularly sues farmers that save seeds to plant the next season for patent infringement. Wonder why? Because Monsanto owns the patent, it owns the crop. "Buy seeds from us, or we'll put you out of business and take your farm." It sounds ridiculous because it is, but it's also true.

Patents were expressly forbidden in the original Constitution. Why? Because they effectively eliminate the free market and allow the government to choose the winners and losers. Back to Monsanto; Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion when the Supreme Court allowed Monsanto to patent A FUCKING PLANT. (I'm pretty sure the The Creator owns the plants, despite what some greedy criminal bastards claim.) want to guess what Thomas did before he became a judge? He was a lawyer/lobbyist FOR MONSANTO.

the former director of the CDC, Julie Gerberding, is now the president of Merck's Vaccine Division. Hmmmm...

(The Snopes claim is that it's patented to provide free research is a bald-faced lie.)

As with everything in life, ask yourself qui bono. Who benefits? Bill Gates has a 560 million dollar investment into vaccines, including the ebola vaccine. That dude didn't become one of the wealthiest people on earth by not getting a good Return on Investment.


Follow the money. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY.

As for whether people, governments even, are above mass murder for profit, if you think they wouldn't stoop that low, you haven't been paying attention. History is replete with examples.

Just writing this here as it is a change that affects everyone (including f2p's). I was collecting candy buckets around Azeroth and Pandaria and noticed that Blasted Lands no longer has buckets. Also, Westwind Rest in Kun Lai Summit is phased unless you have done the quest line (I assume), so unfortunately unless this is fixed, no panda bucket achi for f2p.

Has anyone else noticed this or have I been impatient while waiting for the buckets/npc's to appear and buggered off too soon?

I just finished the eastern kingdoms achieve this morning. Alliance side. Candy bucket was there, in a phased, unexploded Nethergarde. Couldn't say for Pandaria as I've not made it that far yet.

Interesting comments in the Warlords of Draenor Developer Q&A regarding another pass at low level abilities (at about 27 minutes in).

"The level at which you get certain abilities is inconsistent across classes..." Kris Zierhut

Ion Hazzikostias: "Or interrupts, things like that."

So expect some more changes in the xpac.
