  • World of Warcraft LFR Improvements

    Wowcrendor has a great video on LFR summed up. He only spends 30 (or so) seconds on the topic (which is a parody) but he’s managed to capture part of the essence (or rather frustrations) of LFR. While I do think LFR has been a positive boost to World of Warcraft, it still stinks of…

  • If World of Warcraft Was the Titanic

    and I was on the only life raft (with a power motor) and saw the entire WoW community floating in the stream screaming to be saved, I would take out a big book and start reading it while powering my boat in the opposite direction. That’s how I view the WoW community at large. I…

  • World of Warcraft and Eliminating the Kick

    I think the LFG and LFR options for kicking people should be eliminated or much more moderated. I got kicked from a group obviously for probably not pulling the DPS despite the fact that I was simply trying to get VP and gear. The only thing I did was receive a Maelstrom Crystal when I…

  • Lost Interest in WoW Today

    I was pretty pumped in getting back into World of Warcraft since last week’s project had finished. However, for whatever reason, something just clicked with me tonight and I felt really bored with it. I had been reading various forum posts and youtube videos that weren’t the most positive. Not sure if that killed my…

  • The Person Possibly Responsible for World of Warcraft’s Subscription Loss Has Been Identified

    Blizzard posted a “post mortem” on the dungeon and raid encounters for Cataclysm. Outside of the confused, constant redesign of the talent tree and character classes by Ghostcrawler (who, imo, is also partly to blame for various problems in Cataclysm), Scott “Daelo” Mercer might be considered one of the people responsible for World of Warcraft’s…

  • 600 Let Go Over at Blizzard

    My friend pointed out how 600 employees were let go by Blizzard. Most were not developers but sections that were over staffed. Without question, part of the decision most likely was due to the massive subscription loss in the past year (around 1.8 million). While the finger pointing has occurred, you cannot deny that at…

  • Biggest World of Warcraft Feature Request: Age Based PuGs!

    You’ll run into them. The little under age asshole kiddies who have no consciousness about society. Mom and Dad don’t put limits on their computer usage so these little bastards freely troll the game and cause grief to various players, who are just trying to get some gear, play the game and whatnot. What can…

  • Current Progress in Patch 4.3

    So far patch 4.3 for World of Warcraft has been the best part of the expansion thus far. Yes, things were greatly simplified but you always have to realize that not everyone is great. For instance, I did LFR today where some jackass griefer kept pulling mobs and wiping our group. Since we didn’t have…

  • Upgrading Gear for Patch 4.3 Continued

    As I gear up my toons in patch 4.3 for World of Warcraft, I wanted to share my own experiences as I geared up my various toons with the current expansion for those who might share my play style. First off, if you’ve read my blog, I am a casual gamer. I don’t consider myself…

  • How to Get Into the New Cataclysm (Patch 4.3) Heroics

    Patch 4.3 has done some good things for casual players in making gearing  up for the final death wing battle a lot simpler compared with the previous patches. However, there is a major caveat: if you don’t meet a certain item level, you won’t be able to get into the new Heroics. So what happens…
