In an official post on the World of Warcraft site the team outlined new improvements coming in Patch 6.2 to how itemization will work. Essentially the two biggest changes are coming to the Personal Loot system and itemization improvements from bosses in the new Hellfire Citadel raid.
Read on for the rest of our Look at Itemization in WoW 6.2

Dat juicy loot.
Blizzard did his job by investing in Psychoanalists- how to manipulate people, aka. binding them to the game.
Those colours and that loot might be the result of that. When you see such loot, you might want to play that game too.
Its like- when a bunch of ladys are dancing on the dancefloor- and one is dressed in red- you would only notice that one.
OFF TOPIC :Wildstar definitely has me by the balls at the moment... so glad im giving that title another shot... Im going motha F$^#ing OCD on zone completion too lollll its been a blast just... wish there were more people playing on the pvp server since the mega servers hit (pve / pvp ) Everyone seems to have fled to the pve server
However... I'm amongst others who are still keeping the pvp server populated 
On Topic: World of warcrafts pve has become a game of tic tac toe... in the sense of Once you know x strat - you cannot fail...
definitely wont be coming back to this title.. although you'd have to slap yourself if you are saying you wont see the Warcraft movie... you know you're going to Leeroy jenkins up in that movie theater lol
That sounds like a game of LFR tic tac toe, nothing else lol.
when everyone has phat epix, then phat epix are neither phat nor are they epix. they are just greens with a purple coating to make you think you are special and that every other character of the same spec as you doesn't have the exact same item or the functional equivalent.
I miss the release version of this game.
RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

Personal loot is in WoW since the WoD prepatch last October.
Also, right now i'm having a Sheldon Cooper moment and can't quite tell wether this "they keep copying from WS every day.." is sarcasm or not.
Yeah I can't tell if it's sarcasm or not either. Because the token system wasn't new to Wildstar, I feel like the first game to do the token system was EvE with plex? Even after that Tera had it, so did a couple other games as well.
Have to agree. Got to assume that people who play WS know full well that tokens have been around for years and years - yes Carbine copied the idea - and "personal loot" ... well just another tweak to how loot is rolled for. Which has been going on since Vanilla.
I can't see 6.2 exciting people. Maybe mmorpg.com should give it a Gameplay, Longevity and Value score. Then again is there really enough to review. And how would they score value. Arguably Hellfire is the first new sub funded "content" - rather than system tweaks - for getting close to 2 years. ( WoD having had a box price).
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

I remember Mags lair as a raid and a bunch of 5 mans of the destoryed hellfire. You must have been playing a diffrent wow than everyone else because I for the life of me dont ever remember this raid.
I know right, you see so many people with expix and stuff that its not even funny anymore. It used to be hard work to get them. And before people go into this tiresome "But i don't have the time to play enough to get that item so its good they do this, this way" NO! I don't raid, i was perfectly fine with me not getting those phat epix. Just because we grown up and got other things to attend too doesn't mean a game should scale to our time frame. It's a MMORPG, you know you need to invest time in it to get certain things. Its insane how easy WoW has become since vanilla. Its insane how empty the world feels now that you have dungeon finders and people no longer have to travel to their dungeon/raid. It's insane how easy you get purple and orange loot and see atleast 100 others right next to you in the city having the same stuff. It ruins the immersion and the pride of owning things in the game.
Blizzard seems to have forgotten wat epix are. If you play Diablo 3 you have more change that a epic orange weapon drops then anything grey O.o It's not even rare anymore, you get so many epic stuff thrown at you that it losses its epicness.
Really? I dont, all the bugs, the lag, the barrens chat. Not to mention the nightmare it was to get 39 other people together to bang our heads against a raid wall. Sure the feelings were great and Ill always hold on to the nostalgia but F that nonsese right back into the grave its in. Wildstar tried going back to the "good ol days" and it sucked (not the game i think WS did many things wright but more wrong...Thats a diffrent rant) The old school wow is great for nostalic reasons but ultimatly it was udder garbage. If you really look back at it it was not that good.
Blizzard failed with this expansion when then made crafters as second rate characters. Gathers had to quickly revamp long time skills to something useful. Any particular crafting skill became pretty useless within a month after the expansion release.
It is no wonder that many players have canceled their subs.
