Aldor vs. Scryer
Alrighty folks, so I tried to look at all the available information and make a choice that best suits the brigade, but unfortunately I can't make it with conviction. Between Akama and Blackelk it seems either side would benefit them. For Integral it seems Aldor would be better. Aldor also has an exclusive tunnel from their tier that goes to directly to Nagrand which will be good for the 64-66 level range. However there are certain things that I can't speak for and so I put these to the cup:
1. Inn/Tier Position: The Scryers Hearth location on their tier is closer to the ground than the Aldor tier is, meaning that characters can run off of it without taking the elevator (death is assured when jumping off of the Aldor Tier to the main city ring without protection). from wowwiki
Akama can always float down and if she dies falling it's not as big a deal to repair her as it is for mail and plate.
2. Recipes: I personally don't craft yet, though I plan on going engineer eventually. But I know Blackelk does leatherworking and Integral does blacksmithing right now. The recipes you can obtain are listed at wowwiki. The main difference is Aldor does fire resistance gear and Scryer does arcane resistance. I'd say lets go with the fire so we might be able to run MC when we're 70 or 80 hehe.
Check out the comparison page and the quest rewards if you want to get into some of the specifics. I'm leaning towards Aldor, though I could live without hanging near Alliance. Thoughts?

I've been more interested in scryers, though I'm wondering what I'm overlooking if all warriors are picking aldor. I saw virtually nothing in quest rewards that looked good for me (1 thing in scryers). The main thing I want is the purple dagger for exalted with scryers. Most of the plate for both sides looks paladin/defense warrior.
I prefer the scryers inn (not dying by falling, actually facing the right way to exit when you hearth, less alliance hanging around stinking up the joint)
Let me know if anyone notices some really good agility/crit rating plate gear or daggers for aldor that I'm overlooking. I actually don't care much either way. Odds are I'll be wearing battlegrounds gear or stuff we find lying around. Ducotte is aldor, and she's doing ok hanging out with all the squiddies. I think there are some tokens for scryers rep that she couldn't use stashed in the guild bank.

Publish Your Comment at this point. I need to look over the comparison page with a more sober mind but Im pretty sure when all is said and done Ill just go with the group consensus.
I did notice that the Aldor staff will be better for BE at 70 than the Scryer Cane will be. Other than that, it seems Scryer is more slick in every other way. Being practical and eager the sound of not having to wait for elevator sounds promising, plus being a tad closer to the taxi doesnt sound bad.
So.. the poll is just for the Akama, Blackelk, Integral, (Istu, Iduku) group, yes? Otherwise it's just silly. We only need characters that spend a lot of time together to be the same faction. There's no need for the whole guild to be one or the other.
Yes, at least that was my assumption. But unfortunately (or fortunately if we have syrup), it looks like we'll be allied to blueberry pancakes. Hehe.
but seriously it looks like we have a majority lean towards scryers and not falling to death from elevators. I'll prolly be doing the quest to join scryers later on today unless suddenly theres a change of mind. Anyways perhaps we can play a little later on and get to 63.
this weekend fo so!
