  • World of Warcraft down? Current status, problems and outages (30)Avery Montembeault (@Necronom138) reported

    @Warcraft The incentive is not wiping. The problem is, and always has been logistics. Setting up an interrupt rotation, adjusting on the fly if you lose an interrupter, dealing with the social fallout if someone fails, etc. You can't fix any of that with talents, especially one like this.
