What is this

What is this bullshit? is this some sort of wish? people, don't add wishes as serious thing listed as content of future expansion --Shrooman88 (talk) 20:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

This is an infodump from one of the WoW panels at BlizzCon. This "bullshit" is in fact one of the new features, just not organized or anything yet. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

What you are calling "bullshit" is added by someone attending the BlizzCon.

But maybe you can forsee the future?

Thanks for answer Dark T Zeratul. And @ A'noob, I can't forsee the future and i didn't saw info about that feature before reading about it here, so after conecting all that with the fact how this article is written i assumed that it was written as a wish by some player. Enough --Shrooman88 (talk) 20:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Protip: If I'm creating a page from blank... it's because they just announced it at BlizzCon. (I have a press pass and am using it judiciously). --k_d³ 20:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we need some citation, or at least a reference to BlizzCon 2009 somewhere to avoid confusion.  Howbizr^(t·c) 1:16 PM, 28 Aug 2009 (EDT)

Armor Penetration

Interesting they used ArP in their example since they said they are definitely removing the stat from the game. Paly 1 (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Generally, talk pages are reserved for discussing improving the article itself. If you want to start a general conversation, you may want to check out the forums.  Howbizr^(t·c) 1:16 PM, 28 Aug 2009 (EDT)

Based on the summaries on MMO-Champion, the stat is being removed from items, but will still be available through talents and the mastery stat, I've clarified the statement in the article. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:15, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

No it is getting completely removed. http://www.wow.com/2009/09/05/armor-penetration-being-nerfed-in-3-2-2/Paly 1 (talk) 18:00, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

As a stat on items, yes, but not necessarily as a stat in and of itself since, as has been pointed out, it was used in an example for mastery IN THE SAME PANEL that they said they were removing it. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:55, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Just because it was used in an example does not mean it will still be used in the game. These 3 links all say it is getting removed COMPLETELY from the game. No where do they mention only removing from gear. They say they are removing it from the game. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/faq/, http://www.wow.com/2009/09/05/armor-penetration-being-nerfed-in-3-2-2/ http://www.wow.com/2009/08/21/blizzcon-2009-stats-vastly-simplified/ Paly 1 (talk) 01:56, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I'll try to find the article (probably a GC post). It's only being removed from items, not from the game. Gordon Ecker is correct.  Howbizr^(t·c) 5:52 PM, 21 Sep 2009 (EDT)

See the updated article. Let me know if you have questions about why I made these edits. The reference should be self-explanatory.  Howbizr^(t·c) 6:06 PM, 21 Sep 2009 (EDT)
