Appropriate to the thread this scaling without some indication is really 
starting to tick me off,
e.g.
heirloom chest enchantments that may or may not scale, have to send 
mails back and forth saying what highs see on the stats.

I get about 20% of greens sell,but thats from 80+ zones
or ~40% if I can bother for 50-100g although I do have backlog becuase I 
just can't be bothered posting.

Typically lvl 77 useable or so gives the buyer some use for 200-500g 
depending just how desperately needed or impressive the stats on a piece 
are.
One thing I noticed, or imagined. Running 4 through a new area in quick 
succession I see a flurry of green drops early on then it tapers off 
rapidly. This in addition to the usual quest rewards.
It doesn't seem random at all for the first 30% or so of a zone.. and 
since the following 3 know whats coming up they don't grab the decent 
drops so there are a lot more available to sell.

What are these 'dailies'?  why daily when you can find a stack of mobs 
and chew them up with a banner nearby get xp AND get drops and mats ?
My deathknight and warrior are running around in 3 pieces of XP cloth, 
they look silly but they level quiet fast :-)


I am putting on around 3 levels a day since christmas,with lots of 
rested on characters but thats still less than a level per day averaged 
over 4. I am at 84-85 and have 2 days to gain 20 levels on the 4.

I don't think that will be happening , there is just so much fun a 
person can take :-)

I could be faster, but I am stopping to level skills along the the way 
with the zone appropriate mats, and it is more like work than a game if 
you have to -try- or have to learn to 'play'.

My characters keep responding to the same icons in different ways. Why 
is this character not ressing bozo who pulled ? oh, thats not a res 
spell, it just looks veryveryvery similar. Mineminemine, now rush to 
that next node over that chasm, cast flight formmmmmmmmmsplat, oh its a 
warrior.
It must be comical to watch the slow 3 button masher oh so slowly 
grinding , not using skills on mobs then die because the wrong macro is 
firing.

   Another thing is getting me ticked off at so many bugs.
   Cata has been out for ages and yet doing the same thing over there 
are just so many bugs still around. You probably would hardly notice a 
couple a day but multiply it by 4 and moving quickly and they really 
show up.
