Did Bloodsail rep first, Revered with Darkmoon Faire, did the initial grinding for Ravehold, have 100 Pristine Black Diamonds, and 10 Librams and was planning to start on the DM runs soon.... alas.. questgiver in there is gone, so no Shendralar rep for me.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100549294518603250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-15582945193862126272010-10-27T13:36:57.896-05:002010-10-27T13:36:57.896-05:00@ Aeven the should be Insane
You are one of the f...@ Aeven the should be Insane<br /><br />You are one of the few I can feel bad for, for not being able to complete this in time. Casually or not, you have been working on it for a couple of months and got caught by the change, and lack of the public being given the information sooner.<br /><br />While you are right there are bound to be a few out there, like yourself, with the short end of the stick. I still believe the vast majority of the complaints about the change are coming from people who would be complaining about something else if this wasn't such a convenient target at the moment...and a smaller chunk of people who thought they would do it, but actually dont have the tenacity to see it through.<br /><br />You are one of the VERY FEW who are actually hit by this change.

Got my Darkmoon and Ravenholdt reps to the maximum I can on my main without having to do deck/junk box turn-ins. Goblin reps are already maxed out via Dire Maul runs, which has netted me about 1/4 of the librams I'd eventually need. There's a stack of shards in the bank on my enchanted, stockpiled against the day when I'd start libram turn-ins. I was going to start working on Bloodsail rep next week, while the bruisers were still lower-level.<br /><br />I took it easy because... well, no worry, right? Getting "the Insane" would still be possible (maybe more difficult, but at least possible) after Cataclysm was released. So instead of doing nothing but work on the achievement, I've interspersed it with a lot of other achievement hounding I've wanted to get accomplished, intentioally leaving IITM for Cataclysm.<br /><br />Why? I don't currently have a rogue, or a scribe... so my plan was to kill several birds with one stone, and level a Worgen rogue as an herbalist/scribe. I get to try the new race, I get to experience the new low-level content, and I eventually have a character that I can farm junk boxes with and use to produce cards for my main.<br /><br />*Shrug*.<br /><br />No QQ, just pointing out that doing IITM "casually", at least for me, made sense - and that the pace I went at really had nothing to do with whether or not I was going to complete it. I'm sure there are others in the same boat. I'd like it if Blizzard made it possible to complete, even in Cataclysm, but it's not going to crush my world.Aevenhttp://twentysilver.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-72477216670899873072010-10-27T11:45:22.699-05:002010-10-27T11:45:22.699-05:00Double posting my comment here and on Larisa'a...Double posting my comment here and on Larisa'a page(since the posts are related). Sorry for the wall of text.<br /><br /><br />Going to have to say that, and of course this is strictly my opinion, but the vast majority of players QQing about this achievement had no real intention to ever complete it. Sure it sounded like a cool achievement at the time, and they may have "made plans" to do it, but not many were going to actually go through with it. I saw many MANY people start it and give up within a couple days. We would all talk and BS in the Dire Maul general channel to make the time go by faster but most were broken by the grind and gave up quickly.<br /><br />The people who told themselves they would complete this in cata (because of a blue post...yeah right, b/c blizz never changes their minds), were only lying to themselves. There will be too much to do already with new content coming out. ICC has been out for nearly a YEAR, with the only new raid content being RS since then, I would think that people would be bored and doing those achievements that they "wanted" to do. Instead they spend their time raging on the forums about being bored, and threatening to quit the game. I feel no pity for the people who kept putting it off, because they weren't going to actually do it, and would find reasons not to if blizz put it back in. The only people i feel pity for are those who were ACTIVELY working towards the achievement BEFORE the announcement was recently made, but hopefully they are far enough along they can complete it in time.<br /><br />@Larisa do you honestly believe that people made plans a year ago based on that blue post, to complete it when cataclysm is released? Maybe i'm too cynical, but procrastinators have a habit of procrastinating...and sometimes it is too late.<br /><br />Lucidshadow the Insane<br />(Completed January 2010)Lucidshadownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-56637877152965589092010-10-27T10:53:20.144-05:002010-10-27T10:53:20.144-05:00I went to DM last weekend to turn in librams and I...I went to DM last weekend to turn in librams and I couldn't.

But it's wrong to make promises and statements that will be considered the truth for an entire year and then change your position in the last minute, when it's too late for the players to reschedule their plans.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.com
