The Queue: 6 days and counting

It's almost here! It's almost here!
Croe asked:
I've noticed with the new cooking dailies that there appears to be a limit of 10 tokens that you can collect. Is that a bug? Has anyone gotten more than 10 at a time?
I believe that there is a limit imposed to make you spend your Chef's Awards, as opposed to just storing them up and not doing anything with them. The previous incarnation, the Dalaran Cooking Award, was fairly useless after you had your Chef's Hat, enough spices and all of the cooking recipes. Sure, you could trade in your awards for spices and sell them, but the market wasn't ever really vibrant, at least on my server.
Also (as was stated in the comments), putting a relatively small cap on the number of Chef's Awards means that a new cooking currency does not have to be implemented every expansion, because you cannot save up hundreds of cooking awards to buy everything at the outset. I am a fan of the new system.
The new Chef's Awards can be used to purchase new recipes. There's also a Crate of Tasty Meat for two awards, which contains cooking materials that can be sold or made into your own personal food. There is still something to get with the awards, and the cap prevents stockpiling.
Aikou asked:
Since worgens are their own mount, is there any point in becoming exalted with Gilneas? Are there gonna be mounts offered to those who are not worgen?
Exalted reputation with Gilneas counts towards the reputations achievement, and wearing the nation's tabard counts towards the tabard achievement. Also, having exalted with Gilneas gives you access to some nice leveling cloaks at the new Gilneas Quartermaster. As for being exalted for a mount, you're out of luck.

Two questions? In one day's Queue? I'm a celebrity!
Settle down, Hal.
Dalixam asked:
Does the Alliance have a flight path somewhere in Hillsbrad now that Southshore is gone? I can't find any.
Hillsbrad has gone exclusively Horde after the Shattering.
Don't forget that this Friday, we're putting on a special live edition of the WoW Insider Show, starting at 1p.m. Eastern. There will be a chat room, we'll take questions -- you know the drill. Check back to the site for details soon, but suffice to say, it will be a lot of fun with some potential surprises and a whole lot of Cataclysm discussion and fun. See you all there!

At least once we have all the cooking stuff we wont feel the need to keep doing them to make an arbitrary number go up.
Thundrcrackr Dec 1st 2010 2:26PM
Omg, i can't believe this. i've been doing the cooking quests daily and hadn't even noticed there was a cap! I figured I'd just stockpile 'em 'till cata came out since we can't cook any of the recipes yet anyway! ARGGH!! All that wasted time waiting around for apple respawns... >.< Why doesn't Blizz put important stuff like this in the patch notes...

I only happened to notice when I was hovering over the item's icon on the recipe vendor.
They really should put a warning or something when you hit 10.
Koleckai Dec 1st 2010 3:20PM
For now, just buy the 450 recipes when you have enough tokens.
Grak Dec 2nd 2010 5:20AM
I doubt you're at the cap yet; I've been doing them (on 3 characters) since they became available and last night I hit 9 tokens.

The girl in the second picture...the costume is great, great representation, and she's absolutely gorgeous. I agree, its not much support, by my god man!
Xid Dec 1st 2010 3:06PM
Whoa, what happened here? Did the comment system spaz out and re-post a months-old comment or something?? o.O
Draelan Dec 1st 2010 3:26PM
@ Xid
What? You don't see the second picture? Well, I suppose just like The Emperor's New Clothes, it appears invisible only to those unworthy of their position!
Er... yes, of course I can see it! ... No, I won't point out where it is because... er... because I don't feel like it! Totally not because I don't see a second picture! Nope!

lolwat?

I'm voting this up for being so surreal.

Must. See. Pics. NOW!

Is this in reference to the Draenei that is sitting with her back to you in the picture? Because if you go look at her from the front (in the Southern Barrens), you will see that her dress is extremely low-cut.
Tekworm Dec 3rd 2010 12:06AM
okay, heres the story...I was going to comment from my Blackberry as soon as this article went live...for some reason a comment I made back during Blizzcon (on a cosplay article) for some reason saved into the phone, despite the fact that I go to the site daily from my Blackberry. Anyway, I went to post and this is what was saved into my phone and therefore this is what was posted.

Can you tell Deathwing to meet me outside Ironforge so I can get melted by his bad breath for the achievement?
Saeadame Dec 1st 2010 1:10PM
No, he should come to Org first. Nuke all those troll druids for me so I can actually get some questing done.
Lemons Dec 1st 2010 1:14PM
I'll just leave this here...

In Soviet Russia, Deathwing find YOU.
Talutha Dec 1st 2010 2:47PM
That's what he does in Azeroth too...
Draelan Dec 1st 2010 3:28PM
Wait... So Azeroth is Soviet Russia?? o.O
darkLogik Dec 1st 2010 4:02PM
Lemons* TY that was a great laugh! I'm pretty sure that is what he is doing.
