It's probably a way to make people drop gold. Everyone's got more than they know what to do with.

-Get people to buy tradeable MT items
-Get people to pay for server transfers
-Pathetic effort to equalize server populations without consolidating servers, as if 500k players can adequately populate 120 servers
-Squeeze more mileage out of existing models etc and try to appeal to munchkins who want to be cool (but won't be able to compete against botters anyway)

Contrary to what many people believe, I don't buy or bot for gold, so I don't see myself being able to compete against those who do and doubt I'll be buying much if anything off the BMAH or even playing to any substantial extent.

Also, yet more borrowing from SNES titles:

The Blue post said that the items listed would be randomly selected and unique per server. The devs don't see gold being worthless as a problem any more than they do any other balance issue they refuse to deal with until the immediate prospect of cash enters the picture.

Also, it's kind of funny and ironic that they begin a second expansion in a row by waving the OMG ASHES OF ALAR around. Go figure.

Someone with common sense might say it says something about Vanilla/TBC that T3 and Ashes are seen as cooler than anything from WotLK and Cata.

I guess it also figures that so few people have actually farmed them out. They're still fairly rare. I don't ride mine much anymore.

I bet there's still at least a few people at Blizzard saying, in the flesh, "thank god Aestu can't make us look stupid THIS time".

Actually I know there are. Some guy got on vent for yesterday's ICC talking entirely in Blizzard memes, talking loudly and trying to agree with everything I said, and did a sort of interview with me about my take on MoP issues. As if there were any doubt, he seemed about as mechanically knowledgable and totally out of touch with anything other than the company line and shallow memes as you'd expect a Blizzard rep to be. Was anyone here there for that?

Are you referring to the munchkins who want T3 or the people complaining about the BMAH?

I dare you to make an original parody post of the "Dark Phoenix Thread" on MMOC.

I dare you. I dare you.

Before anyone takes umbrage at what I'm about to say, let me explain that I myself have been a veritable oasis of civility in the present debate. The first thing I want to bring up is that Black Market Auction House thinks that drug money is being used to pay for the construction of huge underground cities intended to house both humans and aliens who serve a secret, transnational shadow government. This is a fixed and false (i.e., delusional) belief that will lead to its shocking and stampeding the public into accepting total fascist tyranny in the near future. I don't know if we can cure Black Market Auction House of this uncongenial belief, but I do know that it and its satraps are a bunch of boors. As you know, boors are jackanapes; jackanapes are rakes; rakes are misosophists; and misosophists all want to help quarrelsome fugitives evade capture by the authorities. The point is that when you tell Black Market Auction House's satellites that Black Market Auction House's brinkmanship and tin-rattling is aimed at prodding the government into sanctioning its attempts to make life less pleasant for us, they begin to get fidgety and their eyes begin to wander. They really don't care. They have no interest in hearing that it has been trying for quite some time to convince us that its programs of Gleichschaltung will spread enlightenment to the masses, nurture democracy, reestablish the bonds of community, bring us closer to God, and generally work to the betterment of Man and society. I suggest it take this rotting ordure and dump it where it and its fellow combative jerks congregate. At least then we could make pretentiousness unfashionable without having to worry that it will damage the self-esteem and physical health of millions of young men and women.

Imagine getting a dollar every time Black Market Auction House said it wouldn't blitz media outlets with faxes and newsletters that highlight the good points of its contumacious, addlepated smears but did so anyway. You'd be very, very rich. This may be a foregone conclusion, but as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Black Market Auction House's cheerleaders don't really care that it likes to extirpate the very things that I undeniably cherish. Such activity can flourish only in the dark, however. If you drag it into the open, Black Market Auction House and its buddies will run for cover like cockroaches in a dirty kitchen when the light is turned on suddenly during the night. That's why we must deal with Black Market Auction House appropriately.

Black Market Auction House's trained seals have learned their scripts well and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. By framing the question in this way we see that Black Market Auction House intends to put its iscariotic polity in charge of helping rambunctious fugitives evade capture by the authorities. We should not stand for that, with that, or by that. Rather, we should make it clear that Black Market Auction House's voiced intentions don't match its actual intentions. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. I find it necessary, if I am to meet my reader on something like a common ground of understanding, to point out that I am intellectually honest enough to admit my own previous ignorance in that matter. I wish only that Black Market Auction House had the same intellectual honesty. A final word: Black Market Auction House has more understanding of beer and milk regulations than of farsighted plans for the future.

I've posted enough generated complaints that I thought everyone knew they were a joke. They don't even make sense when you read far enough down.

My point proven

Or is it the BMAH and not my take on it that is the object of your humor?

An alternative to your dark phoenix thread which also happens to be on par with all of the other similar ones of those.

I reiterate my initial response. And I believe this turn of events (BMAH) vindicates the point that I made in that thread that was lost on so many people, including you, apparently.

I don't remember anything from it, but okay.

edit: I just read "dark phoenix thread" and your dare to edit it. I didn't look at your first post very closely.
