HOT Topics:

Hydra’s Random Tip

Bandages. Right now people are leveling their first aid. Using up very expensive cloth to make bandages. Once you max out your First Aid to 525 buy the bandages from the auction house. Don’t continue to make them if you need them, BUY THEM. They can be much cheaper then the cloth.

Shared Topic This Week

CasualRaider of the blog The Casual Raider asked about when the lights go out on a guild:

What happens when a guild shuts down? Sometimes no matter how hard you try to keep your guild together it collapses. What do you do after the fallout has cleared? This topic could be about several different aspects of guild dissolution(i.e. finding a new guild, rebuilding your current guild, maintaining friendships with players etc…)

The next Topic was an idea from Squelchy of Blame Squelchy and involved writing an open letter to, well, anyone, really, as long as it has to do with WoW.

Write an open letter to some aspect of World of Warcraft: a character, a raid boss, a non-combat pet, a profession, the sky’s the limit. What would you want to say to them, whether in a personal note, or something published as a letter to the editor?

Ringo Flinthammer of Flinthammer deserves all the credit for asking … were 5 levels (as opposed to the usual 10 per expansion) a good idea?

For the first time, WoW’s latest expansion, Cataclysm, only raised the level cap by 5 levels, in addition to the other content it added. Was Blizzard right to make this call? All other things being equal — the same number of high level zones and dungeons, for instance — should they have raised the cap by 10 levels? Should the fourth expansion be a 5-level or 10-level jump?
