my old gun was the level 60 pvp epic with a +7 scope on it.  then i got hemet's elekk gun which has a few more dps points in the item description and... surprise, surprise... after equipping it and reading my ranged attack stat, without a scope the dps of the elekk gun is EXACTLY THE SAME (to the 1/100th of a dps point) as my old gun that has the +7 scope.  not joking, absolutely serious.  need to put a scope on the elekk gun for it to really be any better at all, aside from the slight increase in crit percentage.

also: the alliance has it so easy in nagrand, when it comes to solo kiting the final parts of the nesingwary quest chain.  bach'lor, banthar and tusker are so close to the alliance camp (telaar), any newbie with attention deficit disorder could kite the elites to that camp.  try kiting tusker through halaa and all the way across the zone to the horde camp (garadar)!  i never want to hear anyone complain ever again about flippin' level 14 defias pillagers being so unfair to alliance players... things like that are completely trivial compared to the scandalous tusker-kiting imbalance.
