wow gold criticalOr in other words: Crit happens. Do you remeber that feeling when you did your first wow ritical with more than 1000, 5000g or even 10. 000 in wow? I don’t know why, but actually seeing those enormous numbers popping up during a wow raid, when your friends can see thems an indescribable thrill. Crits are abigous friends - sometimes they aren’t even helpful (e.g. when aggro is tight, in which big crits are really bad to get). Nevertheless vast numbers inspire something primal in each of us. Whether it’s 5000g wow gold, 10.000 wow honor points or 15.000 critical hit points. Even if you are not trying to get another world-record crit, I think there’s really something super inspiring and desirable about watching an enormous crit number at the same time realizing it’s your and only you personal wow best. A 3k Lightning Bolt crit is not really something incredible, but maaaaaannn it was an awesome feeling when I finally hit it on my WoW Shaman.

WoW Looting for items and WoW gold is fun, but at level 70, it’s rather a group thing - than an easy rider. You need to be in a group for a wow raid, even if you are able to down the boss, afterwards you have to make sure you win a random roll or however else loot is distributed or just get the wow gold. But wow crits are for me really personal– okay they come from that wow loot, the loot and the wow gold are the main source of my gear, but the crits are a result of all the gear choices I’ve made and the wow talents I’ve chosen for my wow gold character. Maybe it is nice to spend 5000 g wow gold on a dragon to fly around, but critsare in my eyes, considering the many rewards we’ve all earned in Azeroth, by far the most personal achievements you can get. Something numerical, a symbol that shows you’ve reached a stage where you know how to combine your wow gear, class, and talents to ROCK.

Penny Arcade’s take on gold farming. Nothing much to say more than “hap hap”! I dont think comparing workshops to slavery is fair really. But it’s still funny! We asked RandyRun and Swagvault what they think about sl-a-v e-ry, and they all said it’s totally uncool. So there.

Gary WhittaA very confused young man writes on next-gen.biz that gold-trade should be banned. Outrageous! Who is this guy?Not all of us have 16 hours a day to spend for grinding and crafting. Some of us just want to kick some hardcore lamers ass with wow gear bought with our hard-earned dollars. Let’s keep it like that. If you want to buy wow gold, you should be able to. Besides, it’s a good cause since some thousand chinese got a job, right?

This is being discussed at slashdot, head over there and tell them what’s up and what’s down. Gold farmers?

In keeping up with Blizzard’s aggressive stance against cheating in World of Warcraft, they have banned over 5400 wow accounts and suspended 10700 more for participating in activities that violate the game’s Terms of Use (thank you patch 1.1) including using third-party programs to farm wow gold and wow items.

This is horrid news for all the wow gold lovers out here. Are you one of the banned? Please comment and we’ll see what we can do about it! What does the EULA say about this? Is losing your character, gold, gear and investment acceptable?

A lot of people all over the world report about changed social rules, new ideals and problems uprising from the usage of MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. A comic approch to this can be found at Frozen Hippo (video).Gamasutra talks about the wrongdoings WoW does teaching people that time equals skill. Which does make sense in World of Warcraft, but hardly applies outside the gaming world where skill isn’t always something you aquire but rather “have”. WoW Insider discuss the family values that arise from playing the game together as a family. Both positive and negative effects can ofcourse be seen. Would you like to play with your mother?

Something I’m sure you all have experienced is the loneliness you get in a game even if there are thousands of others around there. Being online can be social, but is it really as social as some say it is? We have previously posted about the responsibilities Blizzard has for making sure minorities can keep their rights. There has recently been a fuzz about the way ingame operators have been threating gay people. Boing boing takes this into mention. “Don’t tell anyone you’re queer“.
