Last week I asked you to leave a comment with tips of anti-advice you could give to players. Things like "Be sure to move in the flame wreath so you're not cold when the blizzard hits!" or "Just walk up to Archimonde, he won't agro until you hit him." You all responded in force and gave lots of good tips and pieces of advice. Now for fame and no-fortune, lets vote for the best one!
I'll close the voting next weekend and announce the winner on Monday April 21st. Vote now! I did!

Unfortunately, my own favourite is not up there...
"Did you know that /gquit prompts you with a confirmation dialogue box now?"

Haha I'm glad I read the comment on this gquit advice thing, otherwise I'd have missed the only fun thing about this article.

As for the /camp and /afk list thing, those are hilarious. I pulled a variant of that the other day in AV, and told people that if they made a macro to input /afk report on their target, they could report Allies as AFK and get them booted. We lost the AV, but it was hilarious to be in an epic battle, only to see a bunch of us randomly dropping out.

All that AFK-list advice is terrible. I suppose is serves the same function as the "click on this summoning portal that will boot you to IF" in that it filters out the really gullible. Stil even the gullible players might be worth having on your team while those who are commited to afking through an entire AV know all the mindgames.
I remember I once got into this 10 minute fight with some dude who kept harrasing me to do a /afk to check my status and I kept saying "look man, I know that trick, can't fool me nyah nyah" and he wouldn't give up. loser.

oh god I can't believe i fell for the /camp one!!!
I never knew about it, and I had WoW open on my 2nd screen so instead of checking WoWwiki, I just typed it in, logged out.....ummm.....tried again, did the same! Then I checked WoWwiki, its the same as /logout
Gotta try that on other people....

I had to go with BoP since i've seen many a time people do that seriously. Also in my old guild some of the pallys would BoP our raid leader when he went to loot a boss after we'd killed it just to see him stand there and try to figure out what was going on lol. /camp is also great though.

That would be Divine Intervention, would it not? The one that puts you in a mega-bubble until you manually peel it off?

Haha, DI also works, that way you don't end up with a repair bill, while 39 others do. It's good times, I say. However, I probably shouldn't play my pally as my main. I'd get in to much trouble.

Ah yes you are right. Sorry I dont play pally.
