The Queue: I'm Ronald D. Moore
This is pretty much the best thing ever.
BSG ending? This is better.
M.A.S.H. ending? This is better.
The Best of Both Worlds? This is better.
Montoya asked:
Why don't we use the warglaives that the NEs have decoratively everywhere? (like Illidan's, but smaller and less flashy)
Blizzard has said in the past (a long time ago) that it wants to keep warglaives unique for players. I think it's entirely possible and indeed hope that we get some more glaives one day. They're a really awesome model, and even if they're a ultra-hard epic to get or another legendary, I'm sure the playerbase would welcome them.
Orkchoper asked:
Is the entire WoW Insider staff tacking March 6th off?
I have never actually finished Mass Effect 1 or 2, so I'll be working. As for everyone else, I believe they'll be sick.

Edges asked:
We have heard that Blizzard is trying for account bound achievements in MoP, do you think that will include titles?
It's really too early to say, but I could see it going either way.
My guess is that we'll see the philosophical ramblings from Ghostcrawler or Zarhym on this at some point. On one hand, account-bound titles make sense, especially because there are some more difficult ones that you're not likely to acquire again, and those would give your alt a bit of a status symbol and a way to let other players know you've completed the content. On the other hand, they are sort of special and tied to specific accomplishments that the hard work players put into the character has allowed them to gain.
It could go either way, really, and we'll just have to wait and see what the details are.
GT asked:
Ever notice the north half of the Eastern Kingdoms map looks like a puppy face? Whazzup with that?
I don't see it, really. To me, it looks like that thing living under my bed. His name is Fred.
Aspect asked:
Why do some people think it's ok to act so rotten in the LFR? I rarely see such awful behaviour in 5 mans.
I think it has a lot to do with the investment people are putting into their characters, along with the attitude and ego of the players involved. Raiding is still seen as a sacred thing to some -- a highly privileged activity that you can only do if you're good. People need to get over this mindset and start thinking of LFR as an entry-level activity for everyone.
Granted, some players in LFR are terrible. I've seen some crazy stuff. But the boss still died and the group still moved on. Those players who don't understand the mechanics of their class or the moderate to advanced elements of the game are exactly where they should be -- in LFR and not in a full-time raid.
If people played as badly in my guild's raid as I see in the Raid Finder, I would be nerd raging about wasting my time in heroic Dragon Soul. But they're not in heroic Dragon Soul; they're in the Raid Finder, the place to learn and have fun -- so it doesn't matter, and there's no need to get upset.
There's a time and a place to get mad about a warrior's deciding his ranged attack is the best mechanic for attacking the boss 100% of the time. The Raid Finder isn't it.

q for the q:
Two part question --- Was just wondering, after looking over the whole 100k sub loss and everyone stating that raidfinder and making content more accessible to all players helped to stabilize the sub loss, is 100k subscribers lost considered stabilized? I know with ToR coming out as the latest wow killer and all, to me 100k seems like a mighty fine number but I'm just trying to see what everyone elses opinion is.
Part Two
Pretty sure this one has been asked multiple times, but does the implementation of the Raid Finder pretty much end all hopes of future hardmode only bosses due to the fact that the boss itself technically shouldn't be available in the raid finder?

Just saying, this post doesn't have the "queue" tag, so you can't search for it. At least it didn't show up when I used the filter.

Will random weather effects return for MOP? There hasn't been random weather in zones since vanilla and the only weather than has remained is used for thematic or dramatic effect. Will we ever see random weather return and why was it shelved for the last 3 expansions?

I have something to question: What's with all the 5 things/5 topics/ 5 facts threads that have appeared lately?
Has any cousin in the WowInsider comunity had his 5 year anniversary?

5 is one of the magic numbers. For most people it's the highest count of items we can still assess at a single glance and it's also the number of items we can easily keep in working memory. The only competitors for "numbers of things I want to list" that 5 even has in any capacity are 3 and 10, but seeing as we all tend toward the middle, it's more likely to be 5 than anything else.

Every time I farm for herbs in Winterspring I come across a chest that always conains a blue-quality item in it. Just out in the open. It is south of Everlook behind a frozen-over stone ruin in ice thistle hills. So my question is, why is this chest always here and are there other chests in the world similar to this?

Certain RP addons let you see guild ranks of the person you're clicked on. There is a guild on my server with a pretty offensive guild rank that I've seen so I reported it. But apparently because it was an addon that let me see the rank Blizzard doesn't care. Do I have to be in the guild, become offended by the rank and then report it for it to be a valid complaint? It seems like such a cop out for Blizzard to say that even though the rank exists in the game, my seeing it through third party software means they won't do anything about it.

Q4TQ: Didn't the Guild Bank in Thunder Bluff used to face the regular bank rather than the pond?

"There's a time and a place to get mad about a warrior's deciding his ranged attack is the best mechanic for attacking the boss 100% of the time. The Raid Finder isn't it."
This made me smile and almost laugh out loud - a great way to finish a post.
