I am practically swimming in Green Proto-Drakes. I don’t even know what to do with them any more! Satchel of Exotic Mysteries, please give me mounts that I don’t already have. Worthless bags.

Tfish92 asked:

How is it fair that a hunter could switch from a gun to a bow because they like the way the bow looks but want the guns racial bonus but any other class that has a weapon type bonus can’t do the same? What if I want to keep my 2h sword for the bonus but I want to use an axe?

It’s the same concept and I don’t think one type should be the exception.

I see that you do not play a hunter. That statement is not meant to be mean or belittling in any way, but as the commenters have made note of, it is not about the look of the weapon per se but the sound each makes. Guns in WoW have a very audible sound that cannot be turned off without lowering the sound effects volume (which lowers all sound effects) or using an addon to suppress the gun firing noise. Guns are loud; bows are not. Each time you use an ability — boom. Each Auto-Shot — boom. It gets annoying quickly. That is why guns to bows and bows to guns is the exception to the rule.Continue reading The Queue: What am I going to do with all these Green Proto-Drakes?Filed under: The QueueThe Queue: What am I going to do with all these Green Proto-Drakes? originally appeared on WoW Insider on Sun, 04 Sep 2011 14:00:00 EST.
