Fucking goddamit... I was just thinking "what a boring, repetitive game this is, why is everything in the AH so expensive? Where are these people getting their jewgolds from?" when I accidentally Savoury Deviate Delight recipe, and then again acidentally the Arathi Basin BG, and have worked out why the game is played at last.
So 20+ hrs, rising to all the bloody time soon enough. Just got me a Shadowblade and twinked out my 49ner to the BG max. Can tank with this rogue now!
