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: Pre-Throne of Thunder Raids Loot System Broken After Patch 5.3?
I noticed something once patch 5.3 came in: the loot drop rate feels like they’re back before patch 5.2. I don’t know if Blizzard has bothered testing whether or not the loot drop rate is still at the new level but it’s pretty bad again. Hopefully, enough players will complain to Blizzard because I’m seeing…

World of Warcraft: Continuing to Progress on My Paladin and Hanging Out with Yoni
I spent an overabundant amount of time playing my paladin the last two days, especially yesterday. He had been neglected for some time as I’ve spread my love of my toons all over the place. But my paladin sorta is my favorite and I really enjoy pushing him the most. So I finally had the…

World of Warcraft: Finally Finished Throne of Thunder (LFR)
I had been procrastinating on doing the last leg of Throne of Thunder for a while now. But it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. The Lei Shen fight was more annoying and a clusterfuck but I could see that it was definitely doable. Main thing is just making sure people were marked, communication…

World of Warcraft: Flexible Raid System Announced for Patch 5.4

World of Warcraft: Is it Worth Gearing Up Alts?
I was watching Yoni stream the other day and noted how Cataclysm and Pandaria offered venders for quickly gearing. I assume when the next expansion comes out, the game will provide some quick catch up mechanisms for people who came in late and missed out on raiding. Like other expansions these catch up mechanisms more…

World of Warcraft: Decided to Try Out Destruction Warlock, Gearing Protection Paladin and More Leveling on My Warrior
Mondays are always fun because of the resets. Right now, I’ve been finishing up gearing the last few pieces on my warlock as he gets a few more tier 14 pieces. I managed to get the 4 set bonus, sacrificing an expensive 496 piece I purchased on the auction house. Ironically, I also won my…

World of Warcraft: Why LFR and “Welfare Epics” Will Stay
There’s been an incredible amount of heated debate on the World of Warcraft forums where two factions have essentially created two stances around terms of LFR and the notion of “welfare epics.” The issue here is that one group (also known as “casuals”) are the ones that, of course, want these items while the other…

World of Warcraft: The Dangers of Loot Specialization
While the loot specialization has it’s obvious perks, it also has its downside if you’re not careful. One of the things that can happen to you is forgetting to switch back to your original spec. This already happened to me a few times, even earning me gear that I wish could’ve gone towards my main…
