World of Warcraft: The Pros and Cons of Alt-A-Holicism
As someone who has played RPGs for a long time, I’m someone who enjoys trying out different classes to see the difference in game play. In World of Warcraft, they call my style of play Alt-A-Holicism. Maybe some people stigmatize the idea of playing numerous alts, but it has its share of benefits as well…

There’s an interesting hot topic on the Blizzard forums discussing how people are experiencing a general tank shortage in LFG/LFR. The real question is whether or not this is a current phenomenon or if this has been going on for some time.

World of Warcraft: Why the Constant Changes for Classes in Each Patch?
Something that has frustrated me for the longest time is the moving target for classes in World of Warcraft. Obviously, this has gone on since the start of the expansion.

World of Warcraft: LFR Troll/Griefer Spreadsheet/Blacklist
The other day I got into an LFR Throne of Thunder run where some goofball warrior decided to grief the group by pulling Dark Animus over and over. Although we managed to votekick the guy, he managed to still grief us at the last second. Obviously, people like this feel that there is no accountability…
