I don’t think people are getting the real picture here with the suggestions that they do this or that. They are moving the game to a point where unless you are dropping some cash on a monthly, if not per event basis, you are not getting shit. Pure and simple. So get your wallets out, do your dailies, hoard what you can, and choose your battles.
I’ve been paying attention to all the little hidden “tweaks” for awhile now. They were being subtle about it. Not so much anymore.
