Cross-realm raid finderIs the threat hotfix live?
That's a negative, Ghostrider. The hotfix isn't live yet, but we hope to see it active on all realms within the next few days. You can always keep an eye on our 4.2 hotfix blog to stay up-to-date: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3019413
Also, keep in mind that the upcoming changes to Vengeance will be implemented with a patch and not a hotfix. :)

That chili recipe is amazing.

Seconded. I don't have a pot big enough for that, but I do have a slow cooker. Gonna wait 'till it gets freezing-ass cold over here and make it up, put it on to cook while I'm at work. Now *that* is something to come home to.

Saw panel 4, was about to roll eyes, breath of relief at panel 5.

Here's a soup recipe for your crock pot/slow cooker when it gets cold;
500g pumpkin
500g kumara (sweet potato to you Americans)
1 large onion
6 cups of chicken stock
Cook it all together on high for six hours (this is originally for a slow cooker; adjust temperature or time to suit what you've got to make it in)
Blend!
Add 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter
And cook for a further forty minutes.

Cross-realm raid finder plans? Yay, so much better than a "something we'd like to do" or "something we're thinking about". Plans are good. If it doesn't work then we won't be worse off than we are now.

The threat thing is interesting. I wonder what will happen to Tricks of the Trade? Just the damage bonus now? Seems like a weak ability.
Also, how are they going to balance this for pvp? Imagine trying to take down a tank FC in WSG when he has even more damage mitigation.
This is not QQ. Just saying that there is a lot more to this topic than GC mentioned. It'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds as they begin the implementation.

That chilli recipe is good, but where's my NSFW tag? Think of the children.
