I know I should be writing about Brewfest or maybe even Onyxia 3.2.2 going live but you can practically read about those things in other websites already, like MMO Champion. I haven’t personally gone on an Onyxia run with my guildmates so I really can’t share any new and fresh information.
As for Brewfest, there’s really not much difference from last year, except that it’s more achievement based now and the drop rate for the Brewfest mounts have been increased significantly.
What I really want to talk about is the possibility of the different tokens (Emblems of Conquest, Valor, Heroism, Triumph, Champion’s Seals and Stone Keeper’s Shard) being Bind on Account.
Blizzard made leveling alt toons more convenient and easier when they came out with the Heirloom items. They also made Cold Weather Flying available to level 70 alt toons. As long as you have a level 80 toon, you can buy the Cold Weather Flying book from trainer in Dalaran and then pass the book to your alt by mail, as long as the alt toon is on the same account.
If Blizzard can make the Heirloom items and Cold Weather Flying Book Bind on Account, I’m sure it’s very possible for them to make tokens Bind on Account as well. I mean seriously, I raid with my main toon around 3-4 times a week. And from those runs, I pretty much get upgrades for my gear. I don’t really get to use tokens anymore and they just end up accumulating (see image above!). The next thing you know, a new expansion comes out and say goodbye to my gazillion, hard earned tokens. What a waste!
If you’re a regular WoW player, you know where my frustration is coming from. You probably have an undergeared level 80 alt or two that you want to bring to your guild runs, but your guild won’t allow it since they’re pretty much undergeared. And by now, you’re probably so sick and tired of running heroics over and over every single day just so you can get enough tokens to buy emblem gear. Am I right or am I right?! RIGHT!
So there. I’m waiting for the day when tokens becoming Bind on Account. But for now, I guess I can buy those BoE bracers from the Valor Emblem vendor and sell them for gold. Or maybe the raw epic gems. But I have a huge problem tho. I’m ridiculously lazy when it comes to selling stuff off the auction house, hahahaha!

Let me say again what I said via plurk…
HELL YEAH! I hate farming raids, too time-consuming.
I’d rather be able to pass these currencies on all my characters than repeat the whole process.
