World of Warcraft: Why Altitis Is Not Necessarily A Bad Thing
I’ve read how some people say you should just focus on a single class that fits your playing style. That might be fine but I think that’s like saying you should only be allowed to date within your own ethnicity. Hey, maybe you like fucking mannequins to help reduce the population growth in order to…

World of Warcraft: When to Do LFR (at the Moment)
When Diablo 3 first came out, the World of Warcraft essentially died as a huge number of players migrated to the latest fad. Although there still is a fair number of people playing D3, I think that the initial mass rush is over and people are slowly returning to WoW. The fact that the queue…

World of Warcraft: LFR Looting System Suggestion
Although the LFR looting system will be completely changed in Mist of Pandaria, I think that the current looting system still can be upgraded with a patch. The looting system rules is pretty disastrous in that people with better gear can ninja items that others need while those that participate, perform their roles well and…

World of Warcraft: Last Minute Gearing with Valor Points in Patch 4.3
I started gearing an Arcane Mage, making her my 8th 85 level toon. Since this is my 8th toon, I decided to write up a post for casual players that want to gear up their toons. In particular, I want to discuss how you can plan out your gearing process, partly with valor points and…

The New Plan (For World of Warcraft)
So I guess my plan of staying away didn’t really pan out. But I managed to get my mage ready for the Hour of Twilight instances. In the meantime, I’ve been helping a friend gear up his Paladin by taking one of my better DPS geared toons and running with him. The idea is that…

Temporarily Quitting World of Warcraft
I got really fed up this past weekend at World of Warcraft because of the inability to really progress in the game. Ever since Diablo 3 launched, the quality of players in World of Warcraft has significantly declined (as most likely the better ones have left for D3). As a result, things like LFR and…

World of Warcraft Needs A Massive Revamp of Classes
World of Warcraft originally allowed for interesting specs to come about as a result of a flexible talent tree. When Cataclysm came out, it destroyed the flexible system by forcing players to choose a talent tree from the beginning. Supposedly, the idea was to help “new players” in creating a more focused talent tree and…

The Diablo 3 Fallout and It’s Influence over World of Warcraft
I think many people knew this would happen. Once Diablo 3 launched, much of the World of Warcraft had vanished. Part of that was positive. For instance, more ore, herbs and other materials. Part of it was bad: less (good) people for LFR. The first two days after D3, I noticed that the queue times…

Arcane Mage Love
Right now, I noticed that the players remaining in the World of Warcraft are not so good. Lots of fails with LFR. I suspect that it’s all related to Diablo 3’s release. As a result, I decided to focus on my mage as she’s one of the few remaining non-85’s I have left on Saurfang.…

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…
