Why let them queue though? Let them have to find the 40 people needed

The level 100 version of Molten Core is only available through the LFR queue, no other reason.

listen: fight club and pulp fiction are good movies, i love them both personally, but if a guy (and you KNOW the type of guy i mean) says they are his Favorite Movies then u need to run. RUN. plan ur exist exit strategy now. if ur texting him then just make something up. “haha i gotta go now. it was nice talking to you. bye!” if you’re somewhere with him just leave. do parkour if you have to. run like the wind. get away from that man

Even David Fincher, who directed Fight Club, agrees with this:

“My daughter had a friend named Max. She told me ‘Fight Club’ is his favorite movie,” he said. “I told her never to talk to Max again.” (link)

i’ve never seen pulp fiction but some people are asking ‘why’ about the Fight Club thing so here goes, from experience:

fight club, as a cult movie, has a trail of heterosexual dudebros following it because they think it’s superior to essentially take cult movies with nonconventional themes as their own and twist the messages in them to fit their particular ideals and nobody can really stop them (if you read the fight club novel, where the narrator repeatedly professes his actual, romantic feelings about the other main character who is also a dude and meets the dude on a nudist beach and goes on to talk about his glistening abs for like a full page it’s a lot more obvious than in the movie, but it’s still there either way) … 

the author who made it, chuck palahniuk, is gay. he’s married and has been for over 20 years now. the narrator in fight club is definitely 100% not straight whatsoever. do you ever hear about this when some dudebro is excitedly explaining how deep and cool fight club is? lol no. the straight guys who watch it see the guys in the movie fighting and beating each other up for fun and they’re like ‘ha! no way could this ever be a thing about Anyone Else… this is ours now. because it’s about manly men. (that means us) and we must reclaim it by, like, fucking with it or something. that’s what tyler durden would Want us to do, guys’. 

the reason you hear ‘wahahahha first rule of fight club is…. xD you don’t TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!!’ is because of straight guys. in the book/movie, the official first rule is don’t talk about fight club. are the characters actually supposed to do that? fucking no lol. they’re supposed to tell as many guys as they possibly can that fight club exists so you can get them into the club too so they can spread their* power all over. the point is to think you’re rebelling and get a thrill out of telling people about the Secret Fight Club. you’re not supposed to follow rules, because in post-consumerism america, there will be no rules. better get prepared for that shit. 

*sorry i mean tyler durden’s power. tyler durden, the leader of fight club who bosses all these guys around and gets them to put bombs in buildings and shit by telling them fake deep shit. tyler durden, the literal, actual personification of a whiny man who feels entitled to like, whatever he wants if he wants it when he wants it. there’s a tyler durden in ~all of us~ and by all of us, it’s pretty much just meant to be about guys obsessed with masculinity. that’s why the book is fight club and why there’s only one girl character. 

also, tyler durden (the guy spewing philosophical shit all the time) isn’t an idol. he’s praised by dudebros as the Enlightened Individual but he never helps the narrator (main character) actually do anything that helps anyone or his situation but boy does he ruin it beyond repair. he’s just an extremist who believes that destroying credit card companies and reverting everyone back to anarchy is what needs to be done for everyone to be free of Consumerist Hell forever. he doesn’t really want everyone to be happy, he just wants anarchy and every man for himself, etc. because then he could do whatever he wanted without getting told ‘no’. he wants things to be simple again and let people just go hogwild. of course, the straight white dudes who watch it take everything he says as ‘oh my god he is So Right, let’s go… destroy art pieces, let’s go graffiti things and be a general nuisance wrecking shit and littering and pull a bunch of shenanigans to get back at The Evil Consumerist Overlords’ even when all they’re doing is complicating the days of low-pay workers because they want freedom from having to think about Those Darn Politics and Society!!! which Are Bad. Politics are Bad and Scary… i wanna run in the jungle naked and wrestle lions and shit to prove how Manly i am and i can take care of Myself. 

tyler durden is like, the whiny alter ego of a guy who actually gets paid pretty fucking well to be able to afford so much damn furniture who’s frustrated with his “slavery” to consumerism because he just can’t stop himself from buying all this damn ikea furniture that he’s never satisfied so of course the solution is to destroy society

and, well, guys did try. people tried making fight clubs all over the world to be Like Tyler Durden, in real life. they caused a nuisance in real life for people just trying to live their lives, doing general dudebro shit but now their excuse was that they were Enlightened, Blessed, by their overlord Tyler Durden who will Liberate them from the evil progressive society that enslaves them as white heterosexual men… except tyler durden isn’t someone you should be following after. it’s pretty fucking clear.

TLDR; straight dudebros think creating a terrorist organization to overthrow society and release us into anarchy hell is a good idea because brad pitt with sunglasses and spiky hair said something along the lines of ‘why can’t we just get everything we want whenever we want without repercussions, men?’ and they were all like ‘god true though’ when the movie is literally calling out that hyper-masculinity is absolute garbage.
