Why oh why do they do this after I level my lock to 60? (Now granted I went from 40-54 in a weekend then finished to 60 over the week so I wasnt concerned about it much!) But hey! Now I just need to wait until 3.2 hits to save 500g! Except now I need to get a flyer haha. Time to start farming again. And by that, I mean, stop using my lock to pay my repair bills for my DK from raiding haha
