What is even so exciting about this patch?

Doesn't seem like there is alot to justify 4.68gb worth of data. Some currency is being converted, the water looks a bit better and some culling of talents but other than that not much. WoTLK had huge changes and patch day was understandably exciting but from what i can tell it's going to be pretty much the same game tomorrow.

It's the same game, except totally different.

Well, it doesn't help that it shares vocalization with that sound people make when they're trying to get your attention. That is, "psst!"

...which is always what I thought it meant, which I ALSO always thought was stupid (why would you be trying to get someone's attention just to ask them to try and get your attention "verbally" in a game with text communication?)


Although...if PST means that, why do people sometimes (often?) say things like "please PST me"? Doesn't that make the P redundant and/or imply they don't know what it means either?


And honestly, are we in an age of text/instant message lingo overwhelming our ability to type that we can't just say "please whisper me" instead of "please PST me"? Considering whisper IS actually the emote. (An acceptable alternative would be "please send me a tell" or "please send me a /tell" or "please /tell me". Any of those would work.)


La Brea Tar Pits.

Look it up.
