Season 4 in two weeks, how to make/save lots of gold.

Posted 06/12/08 at 6:44 PM by Yes
In two weeks, the new season will come out. Everyone will rush out to buy their s4 gloves, necks and belts. Fewer will rush to buy bracers, rings, legs and chests. Even fewer will purchase helms and boots. However, many battleground regulars will rush to buy their coveted season 2 honor gear. This is a fact.

What is also a fact is that people will seek to socket/enchant their gear. It happened last season and it will happen again: Prices of enchanting mats will go up. A lot. What...

Behind the scenes of Exploiting the Arena System

Posted 05/26/08 at 11:51 PM by Yes
A few weeks ago blizzard decided to stop point buying and win trading by implementing queuing based on personal rating. This lead to a halt of players team switching and playing multiple teams at the high level arena.

Tauren Hitboxes are bigger, Taurens can swing/be hit from farther away

Posted 05/21/08 at 7:33 PM by Yes

This is probably really noticible in PvP, eh?

Arena Ethics

Posted 05/14/08 at 3:11 PM by Yes
This weekend there has been a surge of bans of people who point traded to boost personal rating. Everyone that had earned their weapons and shoulders should be rejoicing. But upon hearing many complaints from people claiming they've been punished unfairly the question arises: where do we draw the line on what's ethical, and how do we really find what is cheating?

Back in the day when a lot of competition was in form of dueling outside of Ironforge or Orgrimmar, people would make rules...

Healing in Arena - How to live forever by Sky

Today Sky brings us an overview of recognizing and preventing burst and crowd control chains.

Shutting the Windows

Anyone who did a battleground at level 60 surely had the joy of being two-shot by an PoM-Pyro mage, or maybe even an MS warrior. Gear inflation, berserker buffs, and insufficient stamina all lead to a cavalcade of videos with people showing off high crits, quick kills, and the like. And all of this brought us to where we are today, with items granting twice...
