MMO-Champion BlueTracker - Catering to Casuals again.

2008-09-13 22:32:11

Okay, clearly this has caused an outrage beyond what we expected. The designers called an emergency meeting and while we discovered that it's too late to back out this poorly-conceived implementation, we are exploring a couple of options for all you non-casuals out there:

-- A clam-stacking trinket. You have to equip it like your riding crop.

-- In addition to cold-weather-flying, you can learn clam-stacking in Dalaran.

-- A long attunement that involves trips to LBRS for Horde and BRD for Alliance.

-- Tediously crafting a clam-stacking gear set that will be useful for certain encounters.

-- An Achievement reward for collecting 20,000 clams to be titled "How do you like DEM clams?"

-- A bonus for reaching Exalted with Timbermaw Hold AND Wintersaber Trainers.

-- Beating Captain Skyshatter. At level 60. With a bad ping. In the rain.

-- The clam book has a 0.02% drop rate on Dead Man's Pass or Blade's Edge ogres.

-- Collecting "Clam Scraps" from AV that you feed to the NPCs in order to summon Oystolar the Mollusc Lord in the Field of Strife.

-- Getting 100 other players to sign your clam charter.

-- Collecting 1,000,000 linen from Ragefire Chasm in order to open the Clams of Ahn'Qiraj.

-- Kind of like paid character transfers, but for clam-stacking.

-- You can respec to clam-stacking in between respecing for raids and Arenas.

-- A buggy clam-stacking mod that you will need to update after each and every patch.

-- You see, there's this clam-stacking book in Dire Maul as a rare drop. You get the book, do all sorts of crazy stuff that ends up with the book being breathed on by Mutanus the Devourer.

-- A clam book lying in plain sight in the Barrens next to Mankirk's wife.
