"Green is the new Purple"

[Harrdy]

Maybe you think I am stupid, and you might be right (at least in your subjective reality), but I found that hilarious...

Makes me think if there is a history behind "green" and "purple" I don't know about...

Pretty sure it's referencing colour codes for items in World of Warcraft.

It does, it is, and if I bothered to explain the WoW reference I'd lose all pretense that I'm not a ghastly horrible nerd. So I'll leave it as a happy coincidence.

Oh Shab, you just made me so happy inside with that reference.

I..unfortunately, have never had a purple item.

Don't worry about seeming like a nerd, I play WoW too. Just admit it, you'll feel better

A real explanation: Basically..green items are "uncommon" and purple are "extremely rare." With the new expansion, a lot of the greens that came out of the expansion were better than the purple items that people worked really hard to get. Therefore green is the new purple.

No Drazi have been harmed in the making of this post.

I'm a little embarrassed to say I probably had 40+ purples before the expansion came out. Now most of those are replaced with greens and blues. I haven't started on any of the end-game content in the expansion yet (and not sure if I will).
