Tuesday MoP launch and VPsFollow

Hi all. I have a question here I'm hoping anyone of you can answer me.

So, MoP is launching next Tuesday, pretty standard thing giving them Wednesday patch day to iron things out etc etc. I was wondering if anyone knew if queuing up for random MoP normal instances would award VPs or JPs. If there's a way to make any VPs before the Wednesday weekly reset in essence, without being at level cap, which I of course won't be at the day MoP releases.

Don't non-heroics always reward JP, or did they change this? And then heroics and raids reward VP.

Yes it has always been like that but I could have sworn they already made the change by removing VPs from the game completely for their pre-expac patch.

Lol thanks for the explanation. That's all I was asking. I hadn't been able to check out the link due to issues with my Internet (been using my phone) which makes me laugh with the down votes lol. Thanks again for the explanation Tellaria! Now it all makes sense! =)

Going to hijack this thread because I got a good story and this is tecnically about the launch.

I went to Walmart about 15 min early, figured I would get a good place in line if there happened to be in one. I saw a couple guys standing around once I got there. Figuring they were waiting for MoP I sat around and waited, letting my mind wander. Midnight rolled around and I saw a group of people standing around some employees stocking some various cases. So I got up and decided to pick up my copy. They asked if I wanted a copy of Avengers (at least that's what I think it was) I told them that I was after Mists of Pandaria,. After repeating myself and some questions tossed between them as to where the game is at they gave me a copy. Then one of the employees said, and I quote, "You don't want that". "Yes I do." I told him, slightly irritated. As I was walking away I heard him say "Boo!". I turned around with a grin on my face and said "Haters gonna hate". He quickly dropped his stupid grin on his face and replaced it a real dopy, clueless look. I swear people sometimes...

Also, How could you hijack a thread in such manner? Etc etc.

I'm pretty sure his job description goes along the lines of "Help customers buy goods". With this attitute and comments he was going in exactly the opposite direction. Thus he would be in a way interfering with sales. Don't know, but I'm pretty sure a good lawyer can make a case out of this.

Americans.

That would be considered friendly banter here. Hell, when I go to buy a game or movie, the clerk sometimes tells me if it's a good or bad game/movie. In his opinion, of course, which he's entitled to. I doubt you'd ever be able to make a case out of someone giving his opinion on a matter. Company would chalk it up as "guiding the customer" and they'd probably settle it internally by reprimanding the guy.

When I worked in retail, I'd often tell customers to grab an extra apple or pack of crackers or whatever and cash in the discount. Company technically lost money on it (assuming they could sell everything in stock), but customer service is valued higher than selling off as much crap as possible. Same applied when I sold fireworks one winter. I was directly told not to sell too much crap to the customers, even going so far as to suggest they don't buy certain products. People left with quality products and as such were more likely to return.

Sure, if he's telling you not to buy it and not offering an alternative or explanation, he's probably overstepping some lines, but hardly anything worth suing anyone over. After all, he did sell him the game without too much of a hassle.

Socializing 101 #3: "Haters gonna hate." Followed closely by #4: "Don't feed the trolls."

For those wondering, #1 is "People are stupid" and #2 "Don't argue with idiots"

It's Walmart... What do you expect?

When I used to answer phones for Apple, people used to get offended/pissed off when Apple wouldn't replace their **** for free when they spilled coffee on it/dropped it/ran over it with a car.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I BROKE IT SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?! THIS IS ***************

Literally what a guy yelled at me. I facepalmed so hard.

I'm not American Mazra, but as I do run my own company and I treat my employees fairly (pay way over market rates). The idea of an employee making fun of a paying customer though .... well ... it makes my blood boil.

WAT!!!1



I'll definitely agree that it's a fine line to walk when it comes to teasing the customers. You have to be absolutely sure the customer doesn't confuse your friendly banter with serious business. I mean, it's nothing that can't be solved with a quick apology and explanation, but it shouldn't have to come to that.

I usually prevent misunderstandings by laughing heartily while teasing. That way my sarcasm doesn't come off as malicious, unless the customer has a serious issue with reading body language and socializing in general.

About you being the Devil's spawn, of course. I mean, who else could drink the vast amounts of alcohol you do and still be alive but the son of a fallen angel.
