How Long Will You Play WoW?
BlatzkowitzNovember 17th, 2009
I’ve always wondered how long I would play World of Warcraft. From the first few moments that I played it, I know that it would hold my attention for a while. Nevertheless, I couldn’t have predicted that I would still be playing it 4-5 years later. I probably would have laughed at the notion at the time. The longest I had ever played a single game was only for a few months at the time. In fact, I have “quit” WoW multiple times (more like took a hiatus). The 4-5 years of playing might never have happened.
1800; Manual Dodge
BlatzkowitzNovember 16th, 2009
I had a long post written for this past weekend. It was the culmination of my frustrations over not being able to hit 1800 to get relentless weapons. For my gear, I was losing a lot of spell power by gemming for the resilience that I need to stay competitive in arenas. I have also been wearing a WG trinket instead of my battlemaster’s because of the resilience. There was no other solution to getting that SP back other than getting the relentless weapons.
I ended up scrapping the whole post because we were able to hit 1800 on our 3v3 team on Saturday. I had a blast playing and it felt good to be able to accomplish a big task without being carried. We have worked hard for the rating and deserve it.
Relentless Weapons; New Guild
BlatzkowitzNovember 12th, 2009
I should be getting back to my regular posting now. I have been hunting every weekend and it doesn’t leave me time for much else. It will be nice to have a weekend without all the traveling. I am also starting a new guild (which I’ll talk about below) and that has been taking up my time. You can expect more posts in the next few weeks, so keep checking back.
10 Tips for Finding the Right Guild
BlatzkowitzOctober 27th, 2009
If you are looking for a guild and are having trouble finding one that just seems “right”, use this guide to help you find the right fit for you. Do not be afraid to try different guilds out. Nobody cares if a new member leaves a couple weeks later. Try them out until you find the guild that you can contribute to and who you get along with. WoW is a social oriented game and you can greatly increase your playing experience if you find the right guild.
The Elusive Item
BlatzkowitzOctober 26th, 2009
Yet another week has passed and I have logged back on my Warrior to check what is inside of my Cracked Egg. Not to my surprise, there is a few more Aged Yolk. In my bags currently sit 47 Aged Yolk and I have gotten multiple of every pet as well (3 Tickbird Hatchling, 5 White Tickbird Hatchling, 1 Cobra Hatchling, 3 Proto-Drake Whelp), but still have yet to see the Reigns of the Green Proto-Drake. It is the item that is very elusive for me.
Feeling of Nostalgia
BlatzkowitzOctober 23rd, 2009
For those of you who have been playing WoW for a long time, do you ever get a feeling of nostalgia when you visit certain old world places, watch old PvP videos, look at old loot items, etc? A couple weeks ago, I was leveling my herbalism skill and I went to Azshara to gather a bit for the end of the vanilla herbalism. Wandering around in that zone gave me a feeling of nostalgia. Although I rarely ever went there when I was level 60, I still felt the same way about the zone. It is the look, the sounds, the overall “feel” of the zone that gives it a personality. My mind instantly flashed back to being level 60 and going there to farm felcloth. It wasn’t just this zone, it is a lot places that give me the feeling as well.
Perceived Experts; Social Experiment
BlatzkowitzOctober 20th, 2009
I completed the final part of my honor grind for my battlemaster’s trinket (62,000 honor still makes me wonder why the cap is set to 75,000). I had some really good games and some really frustrating ones. Specifically the WSG where we had 5 players who had under 14k health and the next closest to me was 20k. During the grind this week, I see a type of player starting to crop up everywhere. The player that I would call a “Perceived Expert”.
You know the player. It doesn’t matter if you are winning or losing, this player needs to tell everyone else that they fail. They always share their plan of attack, but feel that nobody ever helps them. They are usually the ones who nerd rage during the final seconds of a loss. They are the ones who crack me up.
Confessions of a Bad Player

The inside truth as to what really goes through a bad player’s mind.

Yes, my capslock is broken - I really need everyone to know that it is broken, so I will say anything that comes to…
PUGs; Arena Pacing
BlatzkowitzOctober 14th, 2009
We’ve all seen it; Someone is starting a PUG raid and needs a few healers, dps, or tanks. They say in LFG: “LF 2 healers, 3 dps, and 1 tank for VoA25. PST stats and achievement or no reply.” The key point they are trying to make is that they want only quality players who have experience at the fights.
You have been looking for that group all day. Finally you get a chance to join a raid to do that instance. Except there is a problem… You have never done the instance before on this character. Like me, you have done it dozens of times on other characters and know the fight backwards and forwards. You could contribute to the kill with your eyes closed. Your character has the gear and you have the experience but you will never get an invite because you don’t have the achievement.
