Its not for stat gear that I had in mind but you bring up a good point, I just wish world event appearance only attunable gear could be traded to another toon after we use it on one - maybe a different type of flag for appearance only gear then </span></p>

<p>new wishes.</p><p>make next expansion's pre-ordered as "advanced" delivery sent to players to hold hard copies early before official release day.</p>

[Ranja]

<p>My wish list is that a whole class (Rangers) is not left out of an entire gear progression (flurry) of an expansion. What in the world were they thinking when they added a whole new gear progression to the game and then left one class out of it entirely.</p><p>Wow is all I can say.</p>
