Apparently Warlocks are not the only evil class in World of Warcraft. Today on the official forums, Mages aired their dirty laundry. Gompers of Archimonde began a thread that quickly filled to capacity with some of the tricks, cheats, and jokes Mages employ for amusement and profit. Some of the highlights include*:
- Shlippmack of Earthen Ring, "I pyro the lvl 1 critters to boost damage."
- Tiinsi of Bloodhoof, "On wipes I ice block and let everyone else who's fleeing pull the mobs further away so I have time to invis."
- Amarius of Alleria, "I sheep horde who are fighting warlocks or hunters just to give them a heal and hopefully the help they need to kill said warlock or hunter."
- Reoko of Sargeras, "I confess most of my deaths are caused by me hitting the windows button** when I'm trying to press alt 2 for ice block. /facepalm"
- Haruka of Shadow Council, "I once carried around multiple stacks of Scrolls of Intellect rank 1 that I would use on people in the raid who complained about not getting an int buff."
- Walugiee of Zul'jin, "I sometimes break my own sheeps and blame hunter multi-shots just so the raid leader yells at them."
The thread has some real gems in it. If I ever level my Mage, I may steal some of their ideas. Do you have anything you'd like to share with the group?

While many of us have alts to try out new styles of gameplay, or to make accessing the Auction House easier, many
players create new characters with specific ideas in mind. A friend of mine recently created a pink haired gnome simply
because he wanted one the moment he saw one -- instead of levelling up, he just runs around with her and enjoys whatever
there is to enjoy about gnomes.
It's Monday morning and you're back in the real world after a hard weekend of raiding, questing and PvPing. What
better way to spend your time at work than by ranting about your weekend?
