I think this is going to be an interesting change to the game in the upcoming expansion. I agree that it is going to simplify things from both the player's and Blizzard's perspective. The fewer stats and talents they have to worry about, the more balanced the classes can become. Great discussion on mastery.

I hope this topic could be addressed in a future podcast because being newer to the game I'd like to hear some deeper perspective. There's been other games that I haven't had experience with directly that experienced what an economist would call hyper-inflation. Credit dupes or glitches that permit a player to rig the game to obtain currency create the type of hyper-inflation that the caller described. In that case, you would see players investing in copper ore as with a currency dup, you could literally double your currnecy stack overnight by selling the ore in the morning at stupid prices.

All the down-to-earth advice that goes beyond game mechanics and into the realm of sensible human interaction is what puts this show streets ahead of the rest. We can find out about patches and game details anywhere, but we come here for that balanced common sense advice. You guys godamn rock.
