Why would you not base it on inside/outside temperature? Seems to me that is easiest than remote control....

I guess I should RTFA, but how does Chantix target only the smoking addiction? How can Chantix be modified slightly to target other addictions? Seems to be way safer than scraping a brain.

That wasn't until the end. BWD/Throne/BoT, then Firelands was painful for the less elite crowd (the people between the hard core and casual). The only thing I don't like about MoP is having to have the rep to get gear. I could understand that if they had tied the Tier pieces to rep, but if I valor cap, I don't understand why I can't get a less desired piece that will at least allow me to kill those stupid vermin and birds on my farm in a timely manner. (there are WAAAY too many things to kill when planting seeds.). My other gripe is more that I'm forced to remain on my main to be viable in raid when all I really want to do is finish leveling my other 10 alts so I can farm on them too....it shouldn't take 2 toons 1 hour to do quests for the farm, plus Golden Lotus, plus the other reps for the professions, plus....plus...plus....it's not the least bit alt friendly, which was what MY complaint had been all along during Firelands. (It's better than it was.....). Well, I'm not sure what I'm even trying to say anymore....except to point out that Cata wasn't flowing purples until Dragon Soul.

Who are you people and where the heck have you heard these things? No, really, advertise outside of the metro areas. Amazing what those hillbilly people will spread around. Wait, that didn't come out right. You know what I mean. (hinthint - Pinterest)
