Another Winter Veil miracle! Rain in Goldshire!

Rainy Goldshire

Don’t forget to loot your (faux Christmas) presents in your faction’s capital city. (Greed hint: Fly your alts to the capital too for the looting ritual.)

The Orgrimmar Loot Fest

Silvermoon City embraces all “lifestyles” — not surprising for a city of blood elves. If you want to kiss an NPC under the mistletoe for Winter Veil goodies in that town, be prepared to kiss a dude.

The Silvermoon City "lifestyle"

And, on this day of both avarice and generosity, we remember to count our blessings. For example, you should be grateful that the male draenei NPCs don’t wear short shorts.

See ya under the mistletoe in Silvermoon! *wink wink*

The Enchanting Racket

Since I’ve been camping the World of Warcraft Auction House lately for the enchanting materials to pimp some new weapons, I found this discussion on the WoW Forums both interesting and amusing: Why people are so CHEAP with Enchanters ?

The original post:

I mean, people buy mats that cost around 150-200 gold, and they said they are screwed up when the Enhanter ask for a five gold tip…

I don’t know about the enchanting racket on other realms, but on my realm it’s like organized crime.

The mats alone off the AH are 436 gold, average, x 2 (thx rogue) = 872 gold.

They want to know why we’re not more generous with tips? Because they’re already into me for 800+ gold from the materials I just bought via their auctions.

P.S. Yes, I know enchanting is expensive to level.
Yes, my guild’s enchanters do our enchants for free, no tipping allowed.
Yes, I do tip non-guild enchanters, but I grumble to myself and dream of the day when I can pickpocket player characters. Wouldn’t that be a great bug? I’d never log off.
Yes, my server is outrageous with pricing.
No, none of that makes me feel better.
