The Queue: Bedroom Eyes

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.
Here's the latest from the Dum Dum Girls, Bedroom Eyes. Dee Dee Dum Dum (one Miss Kristen Gundred) used to be in a San Diego band I adored, Grand Ole Party; but, like most bands I discover before they hit it big, they broke up after their first album was released. The Dum Dum Girls are a way different animal than GOP, but at least their latest album is an improvement over the first, which sounded like it was recorded in a public bathroom.
Necromann asked:
This morning, I queued as healer for heroics on my pally alt. After the first pull in GB, the group told me to leve or they would kick me because my gear sucked, my pally is 342 equipped, which is plenty to heal heroics in. (On my disc priest, I've been healing heroics since everyone was 330 or so) I've had similar occurrences happen to me, my friends, and pugs. My question is has anyone else noticed a rise in hostility in the LFD recently, or have I just had a bunch bad luck in my groups?
Hard to base trends on anecdotal evidence. There will always be jerks in the Dungeon Finder, just as there will always be guys who AFK to smoke, or mages who roll on spirit gear, or tanks who run in full resilience gear. It's the facts of life, the facts of li-i-ife.

Alykii asked:
We've seen where Epic gems are coming from, but where do JC'ers get the cuts? I took a peek on the PTR and there weren't any available from the token vendor. Are these going to be world drops? Retarded faction grinds through raids (my JC doesn't raid) or yet another set of eye-gouging dailies like IQD?
Honestly, we don't really know yet. I hate to give that answer, but it's true!
TimR asked:
Regular Raids and Raid Finder Raids are tracked completely separate, right? Meaning, If I do a Raid Finder Raid on Wednesday and down two bosses, I won't be locked out of loot from those bosses on my regular guild raid on Thursday? I'm almost sure everything is separate, just want to confirm.
Correct. Raid Finder raids and regular/heroic raids are two totally separate things. You won't get locked out of loot or attempts from regular/heroic raids from doing the same fights in Raid Finder.
Vacasta asked:
This may be a noob question, but why are some friendly's nametags blue and others green?
Green nametags indicate that the person is currently flagged for PVP.
Markgodber asked:
Could we ever see proper Rogue tanking in the future, like they have over in Rift? (i.e. designed and implemented as part of WoW's design, not players pushing the existing spec and gear to solo lower level instances.) Or would this make Rogues imbalanced in PVP etc etc....
I'm not going to say it's impossible, it's just really unlikely. There are enough tanking classes right now, and Blizzard is pretty unlikely to just give everybody a fourth spec. Besides, would you really want to go through the nerf/buff roller coaster on yet another tank? Remember the death knight tanking experiment? I sure do.
Revynn asked:
Why does my Crossbow sound like a gun? As far as I know I have no addons to change the sound of a ranged weapon.
The Lava Bolt Crossbow's shooting sound is currently bugged and can't be fixed without a patch.

When is 4.3 coming out? What's going to happen to my VP/JP? Can I transmogrify my cloak?
Soon*
Same thing is every patch.
No.
HA! I'm sure I forgot a couple :(
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 12:12PM
Aw did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed?
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 12:30PM
LOL. No sense of humor what so ever.
Maerik Oct 1st 2011 12:53PM
Ok, you can stop now.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 1:01PM
Lighten up Francis.
Draelan Oct 1st 2011 1:06PM
There's also the fact that you got your own Question #3 wrong.
Yes, you CAN transmogrify your cloak.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 1:37PM
My bad. I meant tabard. 1000 apologies.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 1:54PM
I did mean tabard. Seriously. Someone actually asked that a couple weeks ago.
solzean Oct 1st 2011 2:07PM
I don't blame them for asking if you could Mog your tabard. With the whole tabard rep factions it makes sense to ask if you could.
toddless Oct 1st 2011 2:14PM
Temp ban and erase this off the front page pls. Im tired of going down ridiculous amounts of spam posts to see a ligit question.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 2:33PM
@Solezean
Except for the part where items have to have meaningful stats on them, which tabards do not. I wouldn't be too surprised if down the line things will change...
paragorillabear Oct 1st 2011 2:42PM
I agree with the OP -- you folks are being unnecessarily grumpy.
I mean, seriously... you're tired of people posting non-legit questions? a lame joke maybe, but ban-worthy?? Dude... tired of having to scroll through non-legit questions to get to the "legit comments"? Really?? Most days I come by here, I have to scroll through entire pages of comments about My Little Pony or some other crap conversation sparked by the pic or video in the banner.
Do I complain? No. (not until now)
Why?
Cause we're just people communicating.
Now, relax.
Kylenne Oct 1st 2011 3:27PM
@paragorillawhatever: It's not that everyone's grumpy, it's that Noyou's trying too hard and it wasn't especially funny tbh.
Also s/he whines about this sort of thing in almost every Queue thread so this comes across less like an attempt at humor and more like LOOK AT ME I'M SPEAKING FOR THE MASSES seeking for ass pats or something. idk.
cloudhopper013 Oct 1st 2011 3:39PM
... said Kylenne, grumpily.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 3:57PM
@Kylenne
Yes, it was in fact an attempt to bring some humor to the queue on a Saturday morning when typically there are light responses. As far as trying too hard? I should have put more thought into it and tried harder. I probably put all of 30 seconds into it. Humor is largely subject to personal taste. I am shocked the line, "Lighten up Francis" didn't go over too well. Stripes is a classic. And you could say, "LOOK AT ME I'M SPEAKING FOR THE MASSES seeking for ass pats or something. idk." about pretty much every post on here. If you don't find me funny that's cool, I can't rub everyone the right way and nor do I try to. I often speak my mind and certainly don't shy away from it. So go ahead, downrank if you will. I am not going away anytime in the near future :)
Ganatola Oct 1st 2011 5:17PM
Wow, someone's had a bad day in the Queue...hope you get better Noyou.

...This popcorn needs more salt.
Parrin Oct 1st 2011 6:33PM
I don't think they're grumpy, they're just too young to get the joke.
"If one of you commenters calls me Francis (or doesn't get the joke)... I'll kill ya."
Amaxe Oct 1st 2011 8:45PM
Sometimes you have to know when the sympathy of the comments are against you...
...if you don't, the voting to black will be a pretty big clue.
Noyou Oct 1st 2011 9:22PM
It's been an odd day, yeah. Apparently the further you get from page 1, the more sarcasm is appreciated. I have a pretty good sense of humor though and have been laughing about it all day. Like I said, I ain't going anywhere. Some of my comments will be upranked, some downranked, and most not ranked at all.
