As evidenced by our inbox overflowing with Hall of Fame submissions (keep ‘em coming!), it’s clear there are a lot of players out there that enjoy tracking down rare spawns. While it’s not something I personally enjoy, I can understand the attraction. (I still have private parties in my head whenever I happen to stumble across a rare spawn, I just don’t actively go looking for them.) For those of you who do enjoy tracking down rare spawns and learning about all the rare spawns out there, we’ve been tipped …

I am proud to announce our very first inductee into the Hunter Hall of Fame! Mizzie from the Icecrown-US server, member of the Searing Blade guild, has officially become the first Hunter to enter the Hall of Fame.

I came across a very interesting (and entertaining) read on the official forums this morning. It was interesting enough that a Blue poster commented on it, which was, in fact, how it drew my attention in the first place. Tallgeez (presumably a posting alt–and kudos for the Gundam Wing homage) from the Lightninghoof server had this to say about the Argent Tournament in a recent post on the General Discussion forum:
ARGENT TOURNAMENT – A GRAND, COLOSSAL FAILURE

While I realize that many other resources have already covered the release of new information pertaining to Cataclysm stat changes, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t also offer some coverage of such an important aspect of the game, particularly for those who may not visit other sites frequently. If you’ve already had your fill of coverage on the upcoming stat changes, feel free to disregard this post. If this is the first you’ve heard of the new information that was released, read on.

In our last post, we talked about a player’s right to choose their own spec depending on what they hope to get out of this game. What a lot of people got out of the article was that it’s okay to be casual (and it is), but what people don’t realize sometimes is that it’s also okay to be hardcore. Because much of the player community is casual, it’s easy to develop a mob mentality towards those “gearscore-toting elitist jerkwads”, especially when one of them just told you that you’re …

There’s been some heated discussion recently in the Hunter community pertaining to the viability or acceptability of playing–or more specifically, raiding–as a Beast Mastery Hunter which was reignited recently as the result of the last Scattered Shots column. Many felt the article was a bit condescending (and as a proud Night Elf, I’m inclined to agree), but rather than focus on the personal agenda behind the article, I’d rather focus on the issue it presents: Is it acceptable to raid as a Beast Mastery Hunter? The answer is, of course: …
