In the meantime, their value has been changed so that they can be sold back to the vendor at no loss. We apologize for any confusion.
It is said this broke on the PTS (people would drop it, and those inside it's radius were frozen unless mounted or if they manually typed /dance) and they removed it as they couldn't repair it -- not necessarily a result of qqing. As they say... they'll be replacing it with something else if not putting it back in the game.

If spamming were the cause, this might have been a good solution. Nice suggestion, appeasing both parties.

You know what was worse than the party bomb?

/train in WoW around the AH would make a deafening noise on my PC and sounded about as pleasant as drag queen nails on a chalkboard.

The party bomb is in that same category or /train and the picolo that made people dance, just slightly less annoying.

Party Bomb makes no sounds, and you can run or mount or simply do nothing and it doesn't prevent you from doing ANYTHING. I don't see why people find it annoying...

A-A!
U think it wrong. This bomb and that train @ aren't in a same category. Why? Because u can avoid the effect. If u don't knew this, next time u can ask or read on internet from that thing what u dont like or ... just pull out the cable. ( If i know it right, u can smash that train now, because blizz are realized that item isnt was too funy, but the item still aviable. My guild in Tor realy liked this bomb and the party after the raids or premade warzones if we won etc..)

Aha. I know if Bio want to fix the problem they can do it. This items were removed because the peoples cry about it.
But if the things go on this way i waiting for that time when the human raical is gone away too, because that have a similar effect just less time.
But ok the people dont like funny things. I know this now
I hope this new what the Bioware want to replace instead of bomb it will be a reaaaaly cool stuff. The social and the valor ranks are need some support in the game. Mabye we can buy more fun items for that in the future. I see a vendor with fun pvp trophies or... Ah ok i wake up!

I'm personally glad Bioware removed the "Party Bomb." As I've read through the many posts on this thread I noticed a trend among many of the comments. Those that are angry must have really enjoyed using this social item, an item that you weren't using as the devs intended it to be used. You're a little overly worked up about this item being removed from the game, which is... suspicious

Enjoy the game as it was meant to be played.

Have a nice day.

I like my toys and gadgets I didn't get the party bomb yet. But it made me sad when the holodancer and portable juke box broke. But then I was happy when they came back good as new.

Just dont take away any knick knacks!

I just have to say that I generally agree with this thread.

The Baron being taken away kind of just makes it look like you were desperate to generate content so you took something that almost nobody had access to and made it more accessible...

The Part Ball I think I might actually get and SOMEWHAT sympathize with... it was causing lag issues for some players yes? Fine, I will give you that one and be satisfied if you give something in return!

So now, 1.2 is coming and i'm thinking "holy crap, new pets and vehicles and all this other cool soc X stuff!" Then, I see absolutely nothing...

Oh wait no, we get emotes that other players who DID NOT earn soc X can get... that made previously breaking our backs worth it! Plus, they are just crappy emotes! Not awesome mounts or party balls! Give us something equally cool and exclusive. I suggest pets, mounts and maybe even companion customization... make ship droid look like an assassin droid? (IG-88) (4-LOM) or perhaps, give my an albino baby rancor lol! Come on! give us real, exclusive and worthy of the effort we put in items!
