Sorry, Tuesday. What am I saying? Today is Monday. We're recording this on a Monday, everybody. And Tuesday, you get your vaults. You know, that's a thing that's relatively new in the game. And I feel like doesn't get enough praise as a fun system. It works differently in Dragonflight, though.

Yeah, I also think it's less even if you consider yourself a casual player. It's still it still means, you know, you've got to play the game. And you've got to play various systems in the game. And of course, Delves are now part of it. So that automatically makes it easier if you're running Delves as a solo player to have your vault filled out.

But I think I just like the motif of there's a building. And in there, we've got banking dudes. We've got giant guild vaults. And then on this far wall, there's this huge dwarven forged gigantic freaking bank vault looking thing.

In this case, yes. In this expansion, yes. Less so in Dragonflight, but part of that was... I mean, I think you mentioned it, but Dragonflight, didn't they require some PvP content or you had to play some PvP to get in?

Yes. And that just bummed me out because I'm kind of a completionist and I would rather see that whole grid done. So now that they've sort of excised that from there, I'm sure someone out there is mad about this. It has zero effect on me. It's only positive for me. I don't want to speak for everybody. But and I've even run a battleground since this. Since this expansion. Yeah, just one. Just one.

And I did really poorly. One more than me. I was reminded, oh, yeah, I'm not very good at that in here. And I know it has its place, clearly. There's very, very hardcore players who love nothing but PvP in the game. I am the flip side of that. I don't care about it. I don't want it.

I don't put war mode on ever unless there's a really compelling reason to do it, like some kind of achievement or an amount I can only get because I had it on or something. but the, the concept as it is currently constituted of the vault, I think is a really strong addition to the game. I hope, you know, they'll probably still iterate on it, but I hope this is kind of the model moving forward.
