  • World of Warcraft: A Proposal for Better Social Mechanics

    I have to constantly come back to the topic of social mechanics inside of World of Warcraft since it’s such a prevalent issue that comes up all the time. On one of the forum topics, I think I came up with an interesting idea that I wanted to expand upon here. But we have to…

  • 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: 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…

  • 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 and Eliminating the Kick

    I think the LFG and LFR options for kicking people should be eliminated or much more moderated. I got kicked from a group obviously for probably not pulling the DPS despite the fact that I was simply trying to get VP and gear. The only thing I did was receive a Maelstrom Crystal when I…

  • The Person Possibly Responsible for World of Warcraft’s Subscription Loss Has Been Identified

    Blizzard posted a “post mortem” on the dungeon and raid encounters for Cataclysm. Outside of the confused, constant redesign of the talent tree and character classes by Ghostcrawler (who, imo, is also partly to blame for various problems in Cataclysm), Scott “Daelo” Mercer might be considered one of the people responsible for World of Warcraft’s…

  • Biggest World of Warcraft Feature Request: Age Based PuGs!

    You’ll run into them. The little under age asshole kiddies who have no consciousness about society. Mom and Dad don’t put limits on their computer usage so these little bastards freely troll the game and cause grief to various players, who are just trying to get some gear, play the game and whatnot. What can…

  • Current Progress in Patch 4.3

    So far patch 4.3 for World of Warcraft has been the best part of the expansion thus far. Yes, things were greatly simplified but you always have to realize that not everyone is great. For instance, I did LFR today where some jackass griefer kept pulling mobs and wiping our group. Since we didn’t have…
