  • World of Warcraft: New Loot System Idea

    By now, I’m certain the vast majority of people probably feel that the LFR loot system is quite awful. You hear it on the forums all the time. Blizzard seems to want to retain the slot machine mentality behind the loot system because for them it’s because a horribly lazy way to continue to put…

  • World of Warcraft: The Beauty of Ten Farms

    Over the past few days, I’ve been working intensely on maximizing my toons’ farms and utilizing them on a daily basis. At the moment, I have 8 maxed out farms with two more having 12 plots of land opened (as a result of having revered reputation). It’s a pain but in the long term well…

  • World of Warcraft: Priest Hits 90 and Starts LFR Runs Almost Immediately

    So my plan for leveling and gearing my priest up mostly worked. The leveling process in the end was a pretty big headache. It felt like it took far too long and I ended up doing more quests than on my rogue. Not sure if there’s an experience discrepancy between the two classes, but I…

  • World of Warcraft: Last Level 90 in My Priest on the Way

    Since this week is the last for the summer festival event, my friend pointed out that he was trying to get a few toons to at least level 90 just to obtain the cape (and possibly weapon). After struggling a bit to get my rogue geared initially, I decided that any possible help to get…

  • World of Warcraft: Rogue at 90 But Massively Frustrated Again

    I made a big push to get my rogue to 90 today. That’s make my 9th level 90 toon, leaving only my priest and monk. I think I’ll probably just not bother with my monk, seeing how much time and effort leveling the rest of my toons took. But overall, I will say that it…

  • World of Warcraft: Easy Gold with Embersilk Bags

    If you have a tailor who is level 90 and can do reasonable AoE farming, then this quick guide is for you. In Deepholm, there’s a section where you have numerous troggs engaged in a perpetual battle on the south western corner of the map. You can find anywhere between 4-10+ mobs gathered around. These…

  • World of Warcraft: Was Wrath of the Lich King the Best Expansion?

    I know a lot of people ended up panning Wrath of the Lich King, with old timers calling people starting in that era “Wrath Babies”. People criticized the instances as being too easy, ICC as allowing casuals to participate, allowing people to purchase gear using badges and even some of the dumbed down quest design.…

  • World of Warcraft: DPS Class/Spec Review for Patch 5.3

    Mike Preach has come up with some interesting videos discussing whether you should roll a certain class or not. I felt inspired by a lot of his commentary and wanted to throw my two cents into the mix by examining the DPS roles of classes and specs I’ve played in this expansion so far. Retribution…

  • World of Warcraft: Some Cheap Tricks to Get Easy Stuff at Level 90

    I consider myself a casual and lazy player. But not lazy as in “I just want to sit on my ass and be handed stuff while sleeping and eating pizza simultaneously.” Lazy as in “I want to play smart with doing minimal effort but maximizing what I can do with my time.” Sometimes, I feel…

  • World of Warcraft: Advantages/Disadvantages of Belong to a Low/Medium Population PVE Server

    I used to belong to an older, medium-high population PVP server called Ner’Zhul. We were afforded some nice benefits as well as having a fair amount of disadvantages too. Later, I transferred to an Oceanic server called Saurfang. Over time, I’ve pondered moving back to a higher population server in the US but wanted to…
