Right now the availability of thistle tea is incredibly far from authentic, which goes against the idea that you should be able to duel/pvp on this server with easy accessibility.. a concept that is applied to most things, but for some reason not Thistle Tea. Flasks are easy to come by, you can almost sustain yourself with flasks purely by just voting every day.. Something that would take A LONG time to get on a blizzlike server. Other conveniences like Blinding Powder is also added to the vendor, because it's an integral part of the rogue kit. But guess what, the Thistle Tea is ALSO an integral part of the rogue kit and I think it's a mistake that nothing has been done on this server to make its acquisition more convenient.. for any other reason than to intentionally put rogues at an artificial disadvantage because you don't like them.
There's no way in hell you'll run into a rogue in classic or blizzlike realms that doesn't have Thistle Tea on them. Why make it so difficult to get on a server where flasks, tidal charm, reflectors etc are so easy to come by?
I suggest implement one or more of the following items;
1) Add Thistle Tea to the poison vendor for a reasonable gold price.
2) Add an NPC that exchanges PvP tokens for Thistle Tea.
3) Add an option on the website to purchase Thistle Tea stacks with voting points.
4) Dramatically increase spawn on Swiftthistle.
Price of Thistle Tea on x1 Blizzlike realms:
On classic / blizzlike realms you can farm gold for 1-2 hours and you'll have Thistle Tea for weeks.
It costs around 17-30 silver to pop Thistle Tea on blizzlike servers. That's why in Vanilla, Thistle Tea is an integrated part of the Rogue rotation (especially in PvP), for the exact same reason that Blind is.
On RetroWoW it costs 55g and sometimes 75g to pop Thistle Tea, which is insane when trying to pratice the class in duels and therefore results in the class being severely misrepresented on this server.
even cheaper if you buy raw mats:
