Why you SHOULDN'T buy WoW Gold

Hey guys,
doing a short post about buying WoW Gold from chinese farmers. This is Blizzards opinion about it and I fully support it:

I read somewhere that buying gold in MMORPGs in overall is just like supporting prostitution. You are giving money to fat, lazy assholes that have a whole horde of chinese farmers working for them for a couple of cents PER HOUR. I made this list to point out all the good and bad points of buying WoW gold.

+you get the gold quite fast (usually)


+you don't have to work for it - except that you pay with your REAL hard earned money but people usually don't think about that


-you are wasting your money on something that will NOT last - you will get the gold, spend it, and want more. Unlike buying a gold-making guide where you will learn how to make huge amounts of gold YOURSELF. And that knowledge will stay with you forever; however the gold from farmers - will not.


-you are risking getting yourself banned. Blizzard is pro at fighting gold farmers and every time you buy gold there is a risk of getting your account banned.


-as I already said before, you are paying those fat lazy guys that "own" these kinds of gold farms and actually not the farmers themselves (well ok yeah they get about 1% of what you pay)


-"You are supporting spamming (the more gold you buy from them the more eager they will be to advertise), botting (because many of the farmers use bots) and keylogging (90% of gold farmers use hacked character to farm since they get banned so often)" - Blizzard


-You suck. How can you live with yourself?

Does that American flag really mean it's from America? I don't think so.

Conclusion: Guys, don't buy gold. Don't be lazy. Get gold the real way - by yourself. It's really not that hard; you can either try to learn how to make gold fast yourself or buy one of the many gold guides available on the internet. I suggest either Dugi's Auction Mastery or the Warcraft Millioner (I have a Warcraft Millioner banner on the right and the link to Dugi's AH Mastery on the bottom of the page).

I hope you enjoyed the read - please comment and subscribe/follow.

Till next time!

Fun/useful scripts for WoW

Hey guys,
sharing with you some of my favorite WoW scripts.
Huge Zoom Out Script
If you looked at atleast at one of my screenshots you would've noticed that I can zoom out veryyy far. Here is the script.

/console SET cameraDistanceMaxFactor 3.5


Awesome Graphics


/console farclip 777
/console horizonfarclip 2112
/console groundeffectdensity 256
/console groundeffectdist 140
/console smallcull 0
/console detailDoodadAlpha 100
/console skycloudlod 3
/console characterambient 1


Thanks to Serophis from World of Immortality for this awesome stuff!


If you want to go back to default...


/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console horizonfarclip 1305
/console farclip 177
/console characterAmbient
/console smallcull 1
/console skycloudlod 1
/console detailDoodadAlpha 


Increase Spell Graphics


Awesome stuff guys, this script eg. increases the graphic effects of your spells (best for AoE). Check it out, its insane.


/script SpellEffectLevel 1000


You can set the amount to anything you want, set it to 10 for the default if you want. HUGE thanks to Jioow from World of Immortality for this!

Funny - show your friends you got 1mln gold


This is a simple yet brilliantly fun script. It changes the amount of silver you need per gold. Eg. you can set it so that 1 silver = 1000 gold instead of 100silver = 1 gold. Its fun and stuff, but sadly ALL prices are changed. So no real effect except visual :-/


/script SILVER_PER_GOLD=(random number here)


Examples: 1 silver = 1 gold


/script SILVER_PER_GOLD=1  (you might sometimes have to add "" so it's /script SILVER_PER_GOLD="1")


1 silver = 1000 gold


/script SILVER PER_GOLD=0,001


Etc. etc. 


I will be adding more if I find any. 


Have some interesting scripts that you use? Share them with us! Either leave a comment or send me a e-mail.

My thoughts about retribution paladins...

I decided to write this since so many people are complaining about how easy playing a retribution paladin is in both PvP and PvE. I want to answer some questions, both for myself and for you guys. So the questions are:

-Are retri paladins REALLY that easy in PvP/PvE?

-When did the opinion about retri paladins become so bad?

-Are they still overpowered?

-Why is bubble soo annoying?

Alright, I will start with the first one.

Are retri paladins REALLY that easy in PvP/PvE?

My answer is: no, they aren't. Most people say that they are such a easy brainless class because of their small amount of spells/attacks. Now let's think about this a little bit more... is it really a positive thing? I understand that in patch 3.0.1 and 3.1 when they were rediculously overpowered the thing that they only needed to click "three buttons" was annoying, but now? Would it be cool to play eg. a priest if you had only PW:S, Flash Heal, Renew and Greater Heal? Would it be easy? Yes. Would it bring good results unless you timed everything perfectly? Ofcourse not. So that's why I think that paladins having only 4 spells in their sequence is actually a negative thing for them and they have to think more since they need to TIME their attacks for the best DPS (unlike eg. arcane mage). As for PvP it's bad aswell, because unless you can kill someone with those 4 attacks (and obviously you can't) then you are going to have to wait and wait until your cooldows reset which sucks.

So the final answer: retri paladins CAN BE easy to play with but you will never achieve good results without actually having to think a bit. Timing is the key and it's not a easy one.


-"When did the opinion about retri paladins become so bad"?
Let me begin with this: there are two "opinions" (bad ones) about retridins. One is that they fail and can't kill anything. The second one is that they are rediculously overpowered and don't require any skill.


So, first the first one. That opinion was "live" about retribution paladins since the start of the game. In Pre-bc they had 1 or 2 attacks (forgot exact amount) and seriously, they could do SHIT. When someone saw a retri pala they thought "oh a free HK hurray!". The opinion stayed the same for pretty much most of the Burning Crusade times, although now that people could play belf paladins the opinion got even worse with the helmet kids that automatically rolled one and made a /castrandom macro. It changed right into the second one ("they are OP and don't require any skill) with the beginning of WotlK. Patch 3.0.1-3.2 were the glory days of retri paladins. Pretty much anyone could play them and win - here the "they are rediculously OP and don't require any skill" fits perfectly. But now? They are a quite balanced class (although some people say they are underpowered) and require quite a bit of fixing.


-"Are they still overpowered"? The short answer is: no. If you read all I wrote above you would know the answer. The thing about them having only 4 attacks is actually a negative thing and to achieve high DPS for a retri paladin you need to really learn how to time your attacks well and it's DEFINATELY not easy.


-"Why is bubble so annoying?" Actually the question is: why does bubble annoy us so much and Frost Block/Blink/Sprint/Vanish/Blind/Sap etc. etc. etc. etc. doesn't? Its all because of the opinion that retri paladins have. People think they are so easy to play and when they bubble they just show how much they fail. It's true, bubble is more powerful then eg. Frost Block, but it's not like it's undestructable, a priest can easily just Mass Dispel it. Also when a mage Frost Blocks most people think "oh what a awesome mage he is so skilled damnit it's so hard to kill him wow" and what do you think when you see a paladin bubble? "F*ck yeah, bubble you a$$hole, failer, now go click your 3 buttons and kill me". Iam pretty sure that if you think about it more after reading what I said here you would come to the same conclusion.
