That's really the problem with WoW there is no challenge period even heroic raiding is not a challenge. The challenge in raiding comes from trying to find 10+ people who can count passed potato and get them all online at the same time, so the PVE is just garbage nuff said. The PVP used to be fun and challenging until they tried making every class almost the exact same because people were QQing "Wahhh blizz I can't 1v1 x class because it counters me too well" in an MMO, gee some classes are good counters to you and you are good counters to some in a MULTIPLAYER game what a forgetin concept. Also the resilience system just ruined it I used to miss how people could be glass cannons and could 3 shot someone or be 3 shotted and you had the choice now everyone has the same HP/armor/damage reduction/damage and you don't get to really decide for yourself besides if you want resilience trinkets or DPS trinkets. Don't even get me started on how they went through the trouble of creating a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER game and then decided the whole focus in PVE would be 5-10 man content and the whole focus in PVP would be 2v2 3v3 and 5v5, what the forget was the point of making the game capable of massively multiplayer? Alterac Valley should be the smallest PVP battle they have.

Today I found out that if you vendor your transmorg set, you still keep the transmorgification.
This entire time I have been wasting like 20 inventory slots with transmorg gear.
I feel so stupid.

Activision Blizzard Secretly Watermarking World of Warcraft Users
http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/09/11/149228/activision-blizzard-secretly-watermarking-world-of-warcraft-users
"A few days ago I noticed some weird artifacts covering the screenshots I captured using the WoW game client application. I sharpened the images and found a repeating pattern secretly embedded inside. I posted this information on the OwnedCore forum and after an amazing three-day cooperation marathon, we managed to prove that all our WoW screenshots, since at least 2008, contain a custom watermark. This watermark includes our user IDs, the time the screenshot was captured and the IP address of the server we were on at the time. It can be used to track down activities which are against Blizzard's Terms of Service, like hacking the game or running a private server. The users were never notified by the ToS that this watermarking was going on so, for four years now, we have all been publicly sharing our account and realm information for hackers to decode and exploit. You can find more information on how to access the watermark in the aforementioned forum post which is still quite active."
I have it in my photos.
