What's so great about Auchenai and Botanica?Follow

#1 Dec 17 2010 at 12:23 AM Rating: Good
So my fiancee noticed a password reset email from Blizzard that had already been read, and she does not recall reading it. I did a little research (on my computer, not hers) and her account was indeed reactivated with the usual "one month free from refer a friend" trick that they've gotten my account once in the past.

Reset her passwords and signed up for the phone authentication service (That's really cool, by the way) and scanning her system for viruses/spyware now.

My question, as I look at her character's activity on armory...

What the hell is so great about these two instances specifically that someone was using her character to kill Warp Splinter 180 times and Maladaar 90 times?

No other instances. Just these two, plus a bunch of exploration achievements (Not sure why) and "Got my mind on my money (the 100 gold, 1000 gold and 10000 gold versions".

No clue what the hell they're doing. Too late to call Blizzard tonight; I'll have to call tomorrow to get any lost items recovered.

Just wondering what the hell they're trying to accomplish. Lots of cloth? Only thing coming to my mind.

The explore achievements actually happened to every one when the shattering happened. Why they are running those places i have no idea.

This is just guessing, but I'd have to think that those bosses are easily soloable by a bot and drop a higher quantity of vendorable weapons than similar level bosses. Again, though, this is just a guess based on absolutely no research into the drops.

Yeah I think the gold farmers have an automated program to run botanica for vender trash and mats. We always laugh when we see this one guildy in there becuase he has been hacked and used to farm TK instances many many times.

I made pretty good gold just from vendoring the trash from farming for the Raven mount without even bothering to DE or sell mats when I was bored waiting for Cata.

I'm really glad that I can solo that now. I just hope it doesn't take me as many runs as the Deathcharger did.

I remember doing Deathcharger runs... never did get the damn thing and I've lost count of how many times I've tried.

Looks like my changes have suspended the activity on her account from whoever stole it, so just need to call Blizzard and get stuff restored.

Thanks for the replies, guys :)

EDIT: If my account theft back in April is any indication, maybe she'll get a free month out of it and I can log on as her and check out the new world.

I've been running Sethekk Halls for a long time, but haven't for a few weeks because of all the new content. So, last night I was out doing archaeology in Outland and decided I'd hop into Sethekk and give it a try again. Woot! I finally got the Raven Lord mount. I was so excited...I've never even seen it drop before. Now if only I could get the Baron's mount.

Wimps. I soloed that with pre-4.0.1 talents and before they took away the trash. You had to clear the entire room, and you had, what, six packs of four each with two casters (one of whom could fear). With (pre-heroic) cat gear, not using the lolferal spec, so I was relatively squishy and couldn't reliably interrupt the fear - which could kill if they happened to chain it back-to-back-to-back.

Of course, I only had to do it twice...

I'm a mage. Just because I could summon him alone(I think I still have the stone on my keyring) doesn't mean I had the ability to kill him alone. It's the downside to being a cloth wearer, soloing things that aren't controllable in some way can be incredibly difficult.

But again, as long as it doesn't take me give or take 194 runs, it was worth the wait.
