This is not about how you should go out and do other things instead of playing WoW. There are quite enough of those, and probably a good portion :
a) dont even play WoW
b) used to be addicted to WoW and are now on the freedom bandwagon
This is more about the things that you would do in WoW that you would never do in real life. There are some things that maybe some people would do, but many more that nobody would do. Let me go down the rundown and compare real life.
Questing: This is possibly the largest part of WoW. You talk to someone who looks like they need help (as noted by the exclamation point over their head) and get a task from them. Most of these consist of one of two types: Kill a bunch of this or gather a bunch of this. Now look at this in a real life perspective. You are walking down the street and some lady with a small dog stops you. She says "Pardon me sir....I was walking along and my dog crapped all down the street. If you clean it up I will give you 5 dollars, your choice of a used hankerchief, a stick of gum, half a snickers bar, and you will gain valuable life experience." I know that most people would probably reply with "Fvck off".
As for the second part. A man comes up to you in a diner and tells you the story about how his family was killed by gang members. He says he will give you some gold and some valuable life experience for the heads of 10 gang members. First thing is that despite the idea that the guy may be right, there are laws and you would go to jail. Also, where would you carry all of the heads? Most people arent carrying around 5 large dufflebags which leads me to......
Inventory: In WoW, not only do we kill stuff because someone asked us to, but we usually rob what ever we killed. This does not just include their personal belongings. It may include an eyeball from time to time, or a smashed snout. Would we find a dog on the side of the road and take its tail? Not unless you are a psychopath. Have you ever looked at the completly random things in your inventory? Pirate head x 4, rock fragments, moss, holy water, rusty sword, titanium ore, misc. gems, etc. etc. etc. In real life we would never carry around this kind of stuff (and even if we could, where would we fit it?) We cant put our car in our pocket when we are done driving it.
Raiding: We get all of our best gear together and we fight a big tough enemy to gain something that we desire. A real life example may be: There is a 6th grader who easily one shots any 3rd grader that comes near him and take his lunch money (aka repair bills). The 3rd grader gathers up 24 of his closest friends and beats up the 6th grader, taking back their milk money. In addition to the milk money, they take the 6th grader's Scooby Doo Lunch box and roll some dice to see who gets it. They come back to school the next day (after the 6th grader as reset) and do it again. Only this time, several of the 3rd graders have moved on to hang out with a group of 5th graders who beat up 8th graders. The 3rd graders bring in several kindergarten replacements who just cant hold their own. They get beat up by the 6th grader several times and all lose their lunch money. Afterwards, the 3rd graders blame the kindergarten kids and vice versa. They all then leave and are not friends anymore.
Food and Bodily Functions and needs: In real life, everyone needs to eat and drink or we die. In WoW, you need to eat to get big and strong....kinda like popeye. In real life, we have to go to the bathroom. In WoW, I have gone to the bathroom one time in four years.....and then they put the nuts back (ewwwwww). I real life, you dont have to take a shower, but nobody is going to want to be around you. In WoW, you just swim thru rivers and lakes and apparently that is good enough.
Professions: This is the part of WoW that usually most mirrors our own world. People make or gather items to sell and sustain their daily lives in WoW using the profits. The big difference is that beside the AH, there really is not big brother to police commerce. There is nothing stopping someone from starting a monopoly on a certain thing. There is no GM that comes down and says "You did not pay your taxes this year....we will be charging you triple. Pay or go to WoW jail (aka running Gnomeregan over and over with a bad pug).
Taking all of these things into account, you would have to be pretty messed up to legitimately get a video game confused with real life. Kids kill people and there are times when video games are blamed. This is simply not true. They are no more responsible than television, music, advertising, etc, etc, etc. Has anyone ever blamed the Opera for someone's death? That shit is depressing and people have probably commited suicide after one. The reason people bash video games is that most of them are middle aged and older people who never played a video game in their lives. They dont understand it and it is easier to blame something than to take the time to understand something. There will come a day when we are those middle aged people. We will know the difference between real life and a game.

Tanking: Masochism at its best :)
Tanking is just that. Masochism.....not to be confused with Nachochism, which sounds like something Ratshag would call Nachos (and I almost typed 0_0).
Tanks run in, gather up all the baddies, and piss them all off enough to beat on us (kinda like the guys from Oasis). We do this over and over again, and for what reason?
I dont know what the reason is for a lot of people, but I dout because I enjoy it. I have a lot of fun tanking things (a.k.a staring at a bosses crotch for 5 plus minutes). I also enjoy being part of a group that is working towards a common goal. Everyone working in perfect synergy to get a boss down. I personally love new gear. It is one of the reasons I play (not gonna lie), but the main reason I play is that I love playing the game with friends.
Tanking is a personal choice. Some people think it is because of EGO. In some cases it may be. I have seem my fair share of egotistical everything in this game. I endure the 100 gold repair bills, getting beat on, and being blamed for things because I love to tank. You either love it or you dont. You are either good at it or you arent. It is possible to be one without the other, but easier to be one if you are the other (sorry for that Bilbo like sentence).
So, for all of you non tanks out there.....give it a try sometime. It may seem like just getting or hard skulls pounded on, but you are always in the thick of things having a great time.

"Bad" Tanks are not always bad
Everyone has been in a group with a "bad tank". This is usually a guy who cant hold aggro. I challenge that this "bad" tank may not be the problem. It may be traced to "bad" DPS.
Since patch 3.0, WoW has been an AOE fest. AOE here there and everywhere. This is due to the fact that tank multi target tanking has become much easier (for Warrior especially).
This doesnt mean that every single pull should be an AOE pull. Not all tanks are created equal, but that doesnt make them "bad". I rarely have trouble keeping aggro on multiple mobs, but there are overzealous DPS that make is extremly difficult sometimes. The Ret Pally who judges on a mob after is was gun pulled. Heres your sign. The Warlock/Mage who uses SoC/Rain of Fire/Blizzard on a gun pull. Heres you sign.
Once a tank gets aggro, it is much harder to rip it off. If you pull it before he can get any kind of rotation down, it is much more difficult to get back (especially if it is multiple mobs). Holy Priest who purposely pulls with SwP or body pull on accident when the Warrior has not rage. Heres your sign.
If you run into a group where the tank is having these kinds of problems, take a step back and look at the big picture. DPS gear is scaling up up and away these days. Just remember, there is nothing wrong with focus firing a target down. That is how it was done since the beginning of WoW. If the tank is having trouble with big group pulls, try single targeting the target of the tank. If you are still pulling aggro, this may well be a "bad" tank.
On the same subject, a "bad" tank can be classified in many ways. Is this tank uncrittable? If the answer is no, he knows better and should not be tanking until he is (the obvious exception was when being 80 was new and they were still working towards gear). Is the tank sporting gear that is not gemmed? The he/she is "bad". Is the tank not paying attention to their surroundings and face pulling multiple mobs and causing wipes multiple times. The tank is probably "bad". A "bad" tanks is easy to spot. Some tanks just need a little help, which isnt bad.....its called team work.

Dreaming about World of Warcraft
You know you are a fan when you start having dreams about the game. I have had my fair share although I usually cant remember them. I am usually told by my fiance the next day that I was rambling on about some kind of fight.
I am proud to say that my fiance had her first WoW dream the other day....and man was it weird. As many of you have read, we got her a mechanostrider (a.k.a the Ridiculous). Later that evening she asked me what other kinds of mounts there were and I told her about the Elekk mount (which will henceforth be know as the Elefoofoo mount). She expressed that she wanted one, to which I replied 'Get to 80 first'.
Anyways, one with the dream. She dreamed that we were doing Quests to obtain rep for her Elefoofoo. Only these weren't regular quest. These were Power Ranger quests. She dreamed that she had to find each of Power Ranger "mounts" and then you could use them. She apparently found the pink pterodactyl and the Red Tyranosaurus before she woke up. And no, we havent started grinding for her Elefoofoo....its kinda like when you are a kid. Finish your dinner and you can have desert. AKA get to 80 and we will get you an Elekk.
Off Topic (from the title, but still about WoW): I played quite a bit yesterday as fiance had class in the evening. I did my Hodir and Kaluak dailies and headed off to Stratholm to try and get that damn mount. I ran thru 6 times with no luck whatsoever. I have started speed running it (skipping as much trash as I can and just killing the bosses). I am usually finishing the instance in roughly 12 minutes. This includes running over to live side real quick to see if I can find Hearthsinger (or whatever his name is) to get the Piccolo. My first two times in, he was there and the rest of the time he wasnt. My question is 'Is he a rare spawn and does he have different spawn points?'
I also finished the last bar and a half getting my druid to level 72. I am really considering speccing back to Boomkin for questing. There dont seem to be as many people pugging at my level, and it seems like it takes for ever to kill stuff. My crits as a Resto are about half of what they are as a Boomkin. Regardless, I will be going back to Resto once I hit 80. I find Druid healing absolutely fun.

Warrior Tanking 101: Leveling
Ok, so this is more a guide to leveling that tanking, but it is in regards to being a tank. Many Warriors got DPS to level. Personally I do not agree with this. Early on, it may be easier, but I think it truely becomes EZ mode to level as Prot as you approach the higher levels (most notably hitting the 60s). So without further ado, here is your guide.
Instances: Yes, instances are your friends for many reasons. They may have a quest in there for you that will net you some nice XP. Upgrades are another huge reason. The better your gear, the easier it will be to level. You get a lot of XP from running and instance and you get the experience of tanking as well. That being said, there arent always people looking for a group in Outlands etc. My suggestion is to put yourself in Looking For Group and go out and quest.
Questing: Questing is awesome for a number of reasons. You make lots of money for one thing. Often times you will find some decent upgrades as well. While out questing, I suggest pieces that are high in Stamina and Strength. Avoidance is also very nice, but high healts and strength generally do the trick. Depending on level and what kind of quest you are doing, you will use different abilities. If you are going to AOE grind the mobs you need for a quest, gather them up, demo shout, thunderclap, and shockwave (given that you are the appropriate level). Use revenge and shield slam every chance you get as they are your two big damage dealers.
Keeping Yourself Healthy: Any Warrior worth their shield should have First Aid as high as you can get it. Always have a lot of bandages on you. You get cloth off of the mobs you kill and can turn these into more bandages. Dont be afraid to use them. bandages can often save a nice chunk of time as opposed to eating, Another helpful proffesion is cooking. If you have cooking on one toon, that is usually sufficient. Save the meat you pick up while questing and have it cooked up for delicious buff food. You would be surprised how much it helps out. Always have some healing potions on you as well. You never no when you are going to bite off more than you can chew and you always want to be prepared.
Leveling as a Warrior is not as bad as it once was. Some will remember how it was to level in Vanilla WoW as a Warrior. If you pulled more than one mob you were usually screwed. That is no longer the case, and leveling as Warrior is pretty simple.
So, the rules are: Get an instance if you can, Quest your ass off, and keep yourself alive. You will have a max level tank in no time and be ready to take Heroics by the throat.
Instances: Yes, instances are your friends for many reasons. They may have a quest in there for you that will net you some nice XP. Upgrades are another huge reason. The better your gear, the easier it will be to level. You get a lot of XP from running and instance and you get the experience of tanking as well.

Weekend Update
Once again I had a pretty busy weekend in WoW. First, I got to play with my fiance quite a bit more. Her Druid is now at 63.5 and I hope to start making some real leveling progress next weekend. The reason she only gained about 1.5 levels is due to the fact that we mostly ran thru Strat Dead....over and over and over. We did Strat Live once as well for the achievement and I completed the questline that netted me a Lightsaber lookalike sword lol.
I eventually ended up spending several hundred gold on runecloth as I would rather go and do something else besides run Strat over and over. In short, she got her ridiculous and was VERY excited.
As far as play minus the missus, I did a bit of raiding this weekend. I did a pug Naxx 25 that had already apparently cleared the plague and arachnid wings. We cleared Patchwerk, Grobbulus, and Gluth. This was the first time seeing any of these bosses go down for me. We didnt kill Thaddius, but it was due to people not switching properly and not having the DPS to beat the enrage.
I got the Sand Worn Band, which is a pretty decent tanking upgrade for me. Unfortunately, I did not know the loot rules before I rolled, so I ended up losing out on my 7.5 chest off of Gluth when someone brought up that I had won the ring. On a personal note, I set my new personal DPS record when I did over 2k on Patchwerk!!!
I dont know if it is lag or just being bad, but how do so many people die on some of these encounters. Heigan is incredibly easy, yet it seems like people are constantly dying. HOW DO PEOPLE DIE ON FROGGER????? This Naxx pug was my first time doing it and I ran thru them roughly 5 times without dying once. Same goes for Thaddius. I have plus I go on oneside, minus, I go on the other. I had never done the encounter and only died when he enraged and killed everyone.
For some reason, I also got the questing itch and finished all of Stormpeaks. There are two very epic quest lines out there besides the Hodir line. One of them involves taking down a monstrous Collossus (which I killed minus my worm pet for the last 15 percent of his health), and the other is the one where you find out the wherebouts of Muraden. I wont spoil anything else, but it is completly epic. I actually made close to a thousand gold finishing up the zone. I also did the quest to get myself the new version of the repair bot :)
I have actually started doing my dailies as religiously as I can. The Hodir dailies are a must, and I am about half way thru honored right now. Thank goodness most of the mobs I have to kill drop relics. I am also going to start doing the Kaluak dailies every day as I really want the fishing pole and the little penguin pet.
I got a little bit of time in on my Druid over the weekend as well and logged out around 1.5 bubbles from level 72. I hated logging out that close to dinging, but it was already about 1215 AM and I had to be up for work this morning at 5 AM. I imagine I will get that level tonight after I do the dailies.
I am very torn when It comes to the Holliday achievement. This one does not seem all that difficult, just annoying and time consuming. I have picked up about 10 elder coins without trying or even looking for the elders. I did have fun ganking a few Horde in IF who came in to get the coin though.
Finally, I got into a fail pug if there ever was one. I decided that I wanted to tank Heroic Strat as I had never been in either version of the intance. This was a fail pug all the way thru and ended up with me putting the healer on the ignore list. Basics of the instance include:
Poor DPS: We had a decent mage putting out 1800 DPS. The other two DPS were an Arms Warrior doing 1000 DPS and a Warlock doing 900 DPS. I figured with solid healing and tanking, it wouldnt really matter. Too bad we didnt have solid healing. I was having to blow my tanking cooldowns on trash constantly to survive. The healer was a resto Druid with 13k mana and only doing 1400 HPS. He let me die several times which resulted in wipes. He then had the audacity to ask me what my defense and armor are.
1) I am wearing pretty much full 10/25/Heroic epics. I am defense capped. I am in a respected raiding guild. I know what I am doing.
2) I am not a Druid. WTF does my armor have to do with anything? Im not wearing mail or leather gear......thats how much my fucking armor is.
The crappy fury warrior left the group and they picked up an equally crappy DK. The fury warrior was from the same guild as the Healer who went on my ignore list. After another wipe or two, the healer left group. Just a warning to anybody playing on Scarlet Crusade, do not group with anbody from the guild (Danger Rangers). They are absolutely terrible, and I am pretty sure that they are a bunch of 12 year olds considering that they were posting drops from the instance while I was tanking trash pulls and wondering why we died.
I may try to get a guild run of Strat tonight, so I can actually see the completion of the instance.
Anyways, I hope you guys and gals had fun loot filled weekends!

Mission: Ridiculous....Complete
Pretty much all of yesterday was spent running Strat Dead for Runecloth so that my fiance could get her Ridiulous (aka Mechanostrider). With tons of runs thru Strat and a bunch of gold spent on the AH (hey, I have other things I want to do besides run start all day) we finally got ehr the mechanostrider. Right after that, we went to Terrokar where we did the Skywing quest so that she could add another pet to her collection (and mine as well).
I am at 44 pets. 6 more to get the 50 pet achievement and Stinker.
I will do an update on the rest of thew weekend tommorow including Raiding, Dailies, leveling, and perhaps another Warrior guide.
