World of Warcraft: Ganking, World PVP and Solutions
There has been a lot of heated debate on the forums regarding World PVP and ganking. Ganking boils down to camping, picking on lowbies and ganging up on people or in general griefing others. While Blizzard has a limited stance on defending ganking, the truth is that it won’t go away. However, sadly enough there…

Blizzard: Where Does It Go from Here in 2013?
Today, Blizzard announced that the current PVP season for World of Warcraft is ending on March 5, creating speculation that the new patch most likely will be in effect about the same period. If, indeed, the patch does get deployed during that week, we should think about how this unfolds, considering that the next expansion…

World of Warcraft: Adding Age Based Realms
There was an interesting question posted on Wow Insider today about possible age limits in the World of Warcraft. While there was no real definitive answer in the post itself, people who responded (mostly a mature audience and some with children) had strong feelings about how this should be handled if imposed. My feeling is…

World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria Patch 5.0 and 5.1 Retrospective
Okay, probably I won’t go much into depth about Patch 5.1 considering that the most I’ve dealt with in that patch is the new dailies. But I would like to review the current game since Patch 5.2 is coming out in a week or so. So far we’ve been introduced to a new continent with…

World of Warcraft: How I Would Improve the Game
There is a good discussion on the World of Warcraft forums regarding what went wrong with the game. Most of it boils down to convenience over community and the move towards individuals as opposed to a social environment. I wrote a reply on the social aspects of improving the game, similar to a post I…

World of Warcraft: Gearing My Hunter
After finding the boomkin to be a terrible 2nd character to gear, I ended up switching to my hunter, whom I’ve found much better over to solo play and handle. It hasn’t been easy up to this point as I had to start really looking into the Beastmaster game play. The rotation definitely has become…

World of Warcraft: Why I Choose not to Raid
As someone who exclusively does LFR, I know there are people who will say that LFR is not “real raiding.” Hence, why I’ve chosen the title. I wanted to give those raiders their little entitlement by switching my category as a player. But what I want to do is explain why I do not raid.…

World of Warcraft: Dragon Soul vs MoP Raiding in LFR
This is regards to LFR as I discuss the difference between LFR in Dragon Soul and MoP Raids. I think a lot of people have a very sour memory with the Dragon Soul LFR (and probably normal mode as well) on the basis of how either it was too boring or the last two fights…

World of Warcraft: How to Manage Alts in Mist of Pandaria
It’s been said that Mist of Pandaria is not alt friendly. Most of that involves the gearing aspect due to certain content walls like reputation, low Valor Point rewards and the large number of dailies. In the end, the issue ends up being time (or lack thereof) when it comes to playing each of your…
