As we’ve heard, patch 3.2 will seriously streamline the Emblems system , allowing players to pick up Ulduar-level Emblems even just by running Heroics. Though lots of the other patch 3.2 changes have taken the spotlight lately, the Emblems change is definitely still a big deal, and while lots of “hardcore” players are up in arms about the changes (they had to raid for the same gear that people will now be able to get just by running Heroics , and even the brand new Emblems of Triumph gear will be attainable through Heroic dailies), other players are just confused by the whole thing.

New tier sets and Arena gear are cool, new 5-man content is awesome, and a new Battleground is almost too good to be true. We’re being hit with a flurry of new content it’s easy to forget that Blizzard still has to introduce those new dances they teased us with before Wrath of the Lich King was released. I just remembered all of this when the world saw one of its pop icons pass on last week, the inspiration for the unmistakable Night Elf male dance…
