Reader Question: Best Moments in WoW?

One of our regular readers would like to continue verifying how deep the often stark contrast between my favourite hardcore blogging antagonist Stop and me is running, and wrote us both asking to define our best moment in WoW

Matticus Channels Cosmo: 16 New and Sexy Additions in 2.4

Well, Matt, I’m not suffering from writer’s block, but I take your challenge nonetheless.

How to Improve level 70 Horde PvP

Euripides over at Critical QQ relates his past 7 months of disastrous experiences in the level 70 BGs as horde. Although by all accounts how each faction fares depending on the battlegroup you are playing in, I have definitely noticed a difference (read “a slump” to put it politely) between the level 70 bracket and [...]

I’m so Dense…

So here I am, with my epic flyer, some pettycash in the pocket, playing too late for raiding, and while levelling my mage is always fun for a while, my rampant altitis, as usual, wants me to play something I do not have.
I want to heal on a different toon. I want either the HoT [...]

AFK BG Leeching now a Big Deal

After clinging to the “we want to remove the reason people AFK in BGs” line for way too long, Blizzard has revised their stance and will now crack down hard on the eternal leechers:

The Losing AV gives Zero Honour Fallacy

Every other month or so, there’s another common QQ theme, and the current one is about AV post 2.3 -  the complaint that losing nets you next to no honour, making queuing up pointless.

Pretending all is fine in PvPland is of course blinding ourselves from reality, and [...]

Putting a few things back into their right place

There’s a strange thing happening in the wowosphere these days. Due to a couple of rants I wrote, and my admittedly vehement participation in certain welfare epics debates, I have apparently become some kind of advocate for the PvP viewpoint on arena reward distribution.
While I appreciate the additional readership this generates, I don’t want to [...]

One Key to Notice about the new AV

While grinding 7k honour last night for my S1 healing mace, I forgot one important thing, to press the screenshot button to record what I am posting about here.
Still, on one of those 15 games I had last night, something interesting happened. The game had lasted about 25ish minutes, during which both captains were killed [...]

BG progression

I continued my quest for honour in order to gear up last night. Got two WSG games, both dreaful and long, drawn-out affairs.The second game in particuliar was a total headscratcher for Steptoe and me. We started out with a 9v6 advantage for at least 15 minutes and had one cap in that time. One [...]
