So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong. Guess that's why those ants I've been farming failed to drop even a lousy 5c piece...

However, you'll have to wait and see to find out.

what's YMMV? my acronym knowledge is lacking

I second that. I tried to look it up but nowhere seems to want to tell me what it means. The only thing I could come up with was 'you mileage may vary' but i don't really see how that applies.

So that IS what it means? I still don't get how it's at all relevant to the rest of her statement. :S

"YMMV" = your mileage may vary

Dude....DUDE! New Hero that's a GOLEM with Variable professions (If I read it right it seems to be default dervish and then can change but I could be wrong) Even if he isn't affected by hero armor this is AWSOME.

*edit* Oh wait......looks like it's Just dervish..... I was kinda getting pumped of having 3 paragons >_> BUT ITS ALL GOOD.

It means "your opinion may not match mine".

Wow, it does? What weird bastardization of the English language the internet has once again engendered. :S

It's not a bastardization at all.
It's a figurative expression.

"Your mileage may vary." means that you might not get as much enjoyment, convenience, or what have you out of something as someone else does.
In this case, Regina thinks that the avatar forms are pretty cool, but you may like them less, or perhaps even more.

It does not mean "your opinion may not match mine", it means "your experience may not match mine".

It comes from handbooks sold with factory-new cars. As new cars are driven to the customer, the exact number of miles they've run when the customer gets them may vary between cars. In other words, your mileage may vary.
Figuratively YMMV means "this is what I've found to be true, but there's no guarantee this will be true for you".

HTH, HAND.

Ahh, that makes more sense. Thanks for that explanation.
