The Grumpy Elf: What If: Is F2P on the Horizon?
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-if-is-f2p-on-horizon.html
Let the freakshow begin. Thursday, July 4, 2013. What If: Is F2P on the Horizon? With the possibility of a item shop coming to the game do you think that free to play is far behind? It has a lot of people wondering if this means and item shop is coming and while this post is about that I would like to point out a few little things. What would happen is something like this. When just a few months earlier they were calling blizzard the best company in the world for giving them the game for free. They will ...

Thursday, December 24, 2009. Hunter Surv or Marks DPS, What Spec to Choose for PVE in 3.3? I have been playing the hunter a bit lately with all the new easy. System. As i hadn't played for a few months, the gears and spec was getting away from me a bit. But after a bit of researching i came up with the following DPS specs. My Gear isnt awesome, and the DPS is still a bit crap 2.5k or so, but for 5 man heroics its more than enough while i gear up for the more. Aimed or Multi Shot. Wolf PVE Pet Spec. So i ...

The Grumpy Elf: August 2015
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Let the freakshow begin. Monday, August 31, 2015. Sorry I missed last weeks random thoughts. Even if I am taking a break I still like to share random thoughts. Because I still have thoughts even when not playing. Like when I play something else that has a feature I like. I always say, I am sure blizzard could do this better. They usually do a bang up job of adding ideas others have used. Sometimes they even make them better. It is luck like that which keeps me from wanting to play. But it is too late.

The Grumpy Elf: Where Would You Want Your Class Hall?
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2015/08/where-would-you-want-your-class-hall.html
Let the freakshow begin. Friday, August 14, 2015. Where Would You Want Your Class Hall? I personally like the choices of the lights hope chapel for paladins and the sewers for rogues. I think they both fit extremely well. But for some classes I really can't see where they could go, at least if only considering places that already exist. So we might need to make up some new areas. I am sure there are better places out there and I am sure that blizzard would never raise a sunken island for us hunters to ca...

The Grumpy Elf: I Need to Take Cooking Classes
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-need-to-take-cooking-classes.html
Let the freakshow begin. Sunday, August 9, 2015. I Need to Take Cooking Classes. This post isn't so much about warcraft as it is a post about a blog about warcraft, this one. Over the course of the years I have had a lot of rude replies from people who had a different opinion than I did about some subject or another. Is an insult, but it was funny. Now please tell me I am not the only one that finds that to be funny? August 9, 2015 at 9:17 AM. Well, I truly hope anything I have said over the years has no...

The Grumpy Elf: Choosing Professions in Rift
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2011/03/chosing-professions-in-rift.html
Let the freakshow begin. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Choosing Professions in Rift. This will be a general outline for new players to help choose which professions are best for them. You will not be able to get any professions until you leave the starting area. Once you leave the starting area the first village you come across you will be able to pick up gathering professions. The first big village, roughly 5 levels later, you will be able to pick up crafting professions. Note: All gathering professions ha...

The Grumpy Elf: Survival as Melee, Please Blizzard Don't
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2015/08/survival-as-melee-please-blizzard-dont.html
Let the freakshow begin. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Survival as Melee, Please Blizzard Don't. I've said on this very site at least a dozen times that I think survival should be a melee class. Despite the title I actually still do believe that. Survival should. Have been made as melee. The issue I have is that should. Is past tense. When they were first created if they were melee it would have been fine. But you can not change them now, it is just not right. 1) Too Late Blizzard. 2) Taking Away Choice. While...

When I started this project, I knew that there were over 11 million active World of Warcraft subscribers. To get a good starting pool of data, I knew I'd need to scan a great deal of them. I contacted the Blizzard API team to explain what I had planned and to get a high-volume API key - I wasn't going to get far on 3000 queries per day. I tried a slightly different approach to seed the initial guild list - I figured thaty most people who earn the achievement will be in a guild who has killed a raid boss ...

The Grumpy Elf: A Casual Misconception
http://thegrumpyelf.blogspot.com/2011/08/casual-misconception.html
Let the freakshow begin. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. New players are still having trouble with the first 30 minutes and five levels of the game, more hand holding is coming for very basic concepts like moving, questing, fighting, and looting. Personally I think anyone that is having trouble with WoW in the first 30 minutes of the game is not the type of person this game is meant for to being with. So what is the real issue here? I say leave it be, or better yet, change it back to the way it was. There were...
