I found this pretty funny, illustrating the "expansion green > old world purple" concept. :P

its nothing were not used to....i remember recplacing my [item]Doomulus Prime[/item], which involved killing two 20 man RAID BOSSES, for a cheesy staff right away in honor hold...
lets all have a bonfire and shard our purples when WOTLK comes out :P
EDIT: wow...a bit of reflection....compare my weapon going into BC to my weapon now...[item]Merciless Gladiator's Maul[/item]
I dunno. When TBC came out and i replaced my items (most of them werent epic) I felt more remorse about that then ill have about this time around. I suppose its that feeling inside that tells me that 11-13 epic pvp gears i have wasnt earned, aside from having patience.
ON another note, quest gears make me vomit blood. When im done i look at the result and think why my armor cant look like that :-[
Lol funny comic but hardly true.
