WoW blue tracker

I found a very nice site, WoW blue tracker, which archives and collects all the official information the "blue names" from Blizzard post on the forums. Searchable too!

Example: How will level 70 affect Molten Core? Good to know. Except maybe changing the raid reset timer, Molten Core and all other level 60 raid dungeons will remain unchanged. If you want to farm them with a group of 40 (or less) level 70 players, you are free to do so. But even tier 3 loot from Naxxramas is less good than what you would be able to gather with similar effort in a level 70 dungeon.

Thats awesome! I can't wait to head on over to MC and NAX with 20 other level 65's and wipe the place clean-or at least try. The only problem that I see with the gear in WOW is that the designers didn't create very many pieces of armor that I would consider to be powerful looking until you get into the epic sets, which I think is a crock. To me, there should be a noticable difference between a level 60 and a level 20-in the case of a warrior, there is- but with my rogue being 60, none of my gear actually matches in color, or style, so my character looks like a hobo, but hey I can kill ya! lol
 
Preach on brother Nick! Even 2 sets of 60 gear would be great. One thing I have noticed about WOW is that at earlier levels, players are rewarded with sets as anyone who has completed the set of Defias gear in Deadmines can attest to, but after that armor becomes mismatched and downright hideous in some cases: Purple dreamscape leggings for my warrior? /puke. I have a theory about why this happens: I believe that blizzard knows what we want in armor and so they provide great drop rates for cool looking gear early in the game-knowing that this will hook many players- hell it worked on me- but after that, they figure "meh who cares" because we are already hooked. I have no doubt in my mind that the gear I pick up on my way to level 70 will be even fewer and farther inbetween, and most likely contribute further to my homeless attire. I love playing WOW but part of me can't wait for another game to be released where customization is finally realized rather than LOOK! THIS ITEM IS BLUE WHO CARES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! But until that day, here's to all us casual bums who don't have the time to accumulate an "Epic" look. Perhaps we don't deserve to look cool.
 
Hehe, I'm the guy who prefers Will of Arlokk to Benediction, because the snake staff just *looks* so much better. :)
