These are so absurd to get. Fish oil, fine, but the other two are just ridiculous asks.

Grizzby Gatekeeper is ridiculous. This is even more painful for bear druids as it is our number one most important rune for tanking anything. This really was a poor choice from a design standpoint. I can not tank for my guild until I get this silly rune and yet it will take DAYS and maybe weeks to pick this thing up… Just unimaginative grinding that also requires a group for 2/3 items… Very poor design.

I think they intentionally made the Druid tank glyph the Grizzby one to prevent druids from soloing gear in dungeons too easily.
But we can farm stuff already. Now as someone that runs pugs and helps newer players enter the game, I have seen 8 druids now that don’t have the rune. And on my level 24 druid I will not be grinding that, 1 week everyday, find a group roll vs 4 others marathon. Just to be able to tank for groups…
Very very poor planning. the nerfed the REP… Now they should nerf the Grizzby. I think one of the 3 should give the rune. Not all 3. Gives players choice in the grind

I did grizzby on two characters in a gaming session on Saturday.
Neither of my characters have box rep even though it was nerfed. Box rep is worse for sure.
Poppycock!
So ur telling me… you went to SS and farmed 20 fish oil from level 29-32 murlocs (dont lie and say the ones in MH because the drop rate there is much lower). You out rolled 4 other people or you all gathered 100 fish oil… After which, you went to MH and farmed level 26 elites and finally went ALL the way to Stone talon after of course a visit to the AH so you could spend gold on extractors and got all the mats for your rune?
And you did this on two toons on a Saturday session? LOL
Poppycock, malarkey and overall bullpucky.

One of the reasons I’m making a Hunter my next alt is to make him my Engineering mule for specifically this.
I bought 50 auto salvage and used them up and got 35 turbo chargers. Farmed the fish oil while doing the morbent Fel chain. And while already in the Wetlands for the morbent Fel quest chain we farmed some dwarves. I mailed the excess fish oil, grenades, and turbo chargers to my alt. Ez pz.
I dreaded this grind but it was not half as bad as I thought.
So what did 50 auto salvage cost you? Do you have high competition for them like I do on a PvP server? How much time do the 50 mob kills take? The murlocs killing for horde is just stupid hard and at a drop rate of 1/4 in Wetlands its just not worth it. So you need to kill 80-100 murlocs in enemy territory while be flagged and contested for mobs?
Then you also need to farm the elites from one area that sits nicely next to a major Alliance quest hub and travel point.
Are you seriously trying to suggest you did this on 2 toons over the course of a Saturday afternoon? lol
Dude… stop it.
More importantly… Is this good design for something as basic as being able to tank?

Fish oil and ordinance are fine, you can spend 1g on the oil and grind out the ordinance with mates. It was fun.
Although the shredders are just dumb, getting the recipe sucks especially on horde and buying the units is a minimum of 20g. Its ridiculous.
The shredders are the only thing stopping me from getting my last rune.

I did so… I dunno. I’m not arguing with you about this. It happened.
Is a blue post going to acknowledge how awful these requirements are and reduce the count or something??
Like really, gatekeeping tank rune cmon now.
I did half of this on my warrior before realizing it was all stuff I could trade, and hopped over to my hunter.
I had been stacking ores on a alt as he leveled Eng. he made all my autos. I did solo for the fish oil on the naga right beside herbert helm farm place. all 28-30 with my shaman… I did join some wetlands half raid doing dark iron fram And I farmed enough mats to do both my druid and shamans full set. Each class i farmed the oils on just to see whom was easier. Each class also farmed their shredders after shaman made the autos. It was all in a day between the two. If you dont count the saved up ore and part I had to start with.

I can not believe I have been trying to do this on my Druid horde side and it feels terrible. Like im ready to quit.
Let me get this straight… I am suppose to hand over 20 gold, farm 100-150 murlocs in a part of the world 30 mins away from any horde base. And them kill 100-200 elite mobs for ores?
Do all this just so I can tank BFD?
Seriously TERRIBLE design!
I’ve got really bad news about the history of nerfs for you buddy.

And the government cant forgive student loans because other people have paid it off.
No, they NEED to change it. This is terrible design especially for horde.
I challenge anyone at blizz to run a query of what % of horde players have completed the quest.
I am guessing less than 2%. They people doing it are buying gold for sure.
But for feral druids. That rune is required to tank… Without it you are getting crit in any dungeon nevermind BRD. So we cant even enter to tank until we have the rune.
See the problem?
That’s not true at all. Full tanked BFD, no rune. No plan to get it tell later phases.
