Free rest bonus!

Well due to blizz infrastructure being pants in Europe (why did they base themselves in France! Better not have a problem at lunchtime) we are all going to get max free rest bonus. The problems have been 3 fold from what I can gather, there is a problem with there payments system which meantthat a load of accounts were disabled. There were was a reboot of all servers last Tuesday which took 2 or 3 hours and after the reboot there were severe lagging problems. As people on the forums point out its not much recompense if you are level 60! Also when crediting people they don't take into account the disruption that this has caused, most players can only play in the evenings or weekends (when the payement problem occured). They appear to believe that because it was only disrupted in the evening then this doesn't warrant a full days credit - but for most people that is a full day. However what is really riling(sp?) people is that the website is usually down when everything else is so you can't find out whats happenned. What I find irritating is that if you go to the main wow site there is no reference eo, or even lin (that I can find) to the european site so it always takes ages to find. All very frustrating, this sort of service wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else, especially for a company that must be taking by my calculations £24,000,000 a month in subscription fees, thats a fair few servers, rooters, raid systems that would make this a true high availability system as it should be and for that money could be 20 times over.

Anyway rant over, so I need to take maximum advantage of this maxed rest bonus by using up as much rest bonus on all of my characters as possible. Only got 4 bars left on the shaman but I reckon that all of the others are probably at maximum rest bonus. Therefore I am going to concentrate on the mage tonight and hopefully get onto the rogue but won't be doing any runs to up my skills as this would waste a fair bit of time. Its going to be pretty traumatic for the mage as he is going to go to STV hopefully with a mate of mine (Helene - who is off sick at the moment!!!). My Shaman made level 38 last night nearlly high enough for my mount, now only if I could find the 29g I am short!

Talking of skills can anyone tell me where there is a descent leatherworker that I can learn some more stuff from, I am about level 170 and have run out of reds to do. Also can anyone tell me where I can learn heavy silk bandaging.

This happened to me months ago on my original "main" server. They gave full rest bonus to all my characters.

What did I have? A level 59 warlock, already halfway to 60. Oboy, that suuuure helped a lot. Thanks, Bliz.
 
Knocking on wood that it doesn't happen to our server...unless it happens this weekend...while I'm gone :)
