A few of my friends and I have been organizing city raids the past few weeks.  We were going about once every 2 or 3 days for a while, but now it's usually once a week.  We haven't taken out anyone epeen worthy so far, but we did attempt the King of Ironforge last week.  We also attempted Kurdran Wildhammer in SMV, but we underestimated his damage output, and he 1-shotted our tank.  I can't wait to head back there and try it again. (I'm a Lore geek)  Usually,…  More

Players of World of Warcraft have discovered an exploit that allows them to crash any realm in WoW, and they are now wreaking havoc on all servers. The exploit crashes the main worlds and all instances associated with the realm, including dungeon and arena servers. Tichondrius, alone, has been crashed over 10 times tonight, and the general mood of the server is anything but happy. Raiding guilds and arena teams are all on hold as we all wait for official word on when this issue will be addre…  More

This is a collection of some of the cheap tactics that other teams have used against me in my time spent in arenas. I do not encourage or endorse using any of these, as some are walking the line of cheating. I am just reporting what I have seen with hope that Blizzard will work towards eliminating all of these. I have also included a few strategies that my teams have developed to recognize and prevent these from happening.

After 40 games of 2v2 last week above 2k rating on Bloodlust battlegroup, my partner and I had faced 36 Warlock teams. I just wrote this off as a fluke, but the next day we played more and encountered a similar number of Warlock teams.  Even as a Warlock myself, this was ridiculously annoying.  I want variety.  I want to develop some new strategies versus other comps besides Warlock/Healer.  It is simply too difficult for many skilled players of other classes to rank above these comp…  More
