Yes, indeed, after a short trip away from the podcast, I will be back on tomorrow afternoon, live on WoW Radio at 3:30pm EST. Turpster is supposed to be there as well, and both John Petricelli (the Big Bear Butt blogger) and Matthew Rossi (who, I hear, once wrestled a bear and won) will be on the show with us. It'll be a rip-roaring adventure as, I'm sure, we'll chat about all the recent changes in patch 2.4, as well as all the kerfluffle over tanking and protection specs, and why Blizzard is banning a famous Arena hunter. We'll also hit on when patch 2.4 might go live, and of course we'll be reading listener email (which you can send to us at theshow@wow.com).Should be fun, and I don't know about the rest of the guys, but since I'm in Chicago, I'll likely be celebrating St. Patrick's Day, so I'll bring green beer along (for everyone of age, of course). Tune in to WoW Radio tomorrow afternoon at 3:30pm EST to join us for the WoW Insider Show, the best bear-related WoW podcast you'll ever find.

While I recognise the recent tanking kerfluffle, I remember when warriors were the ONLY tanks, and premier raid DPS with a different spec. At that same time we paladins were stuck fluffling… I mean buffing other players and pecking our decursive button. The current state of tanking is a huge improvement for paladins and druids, and I have little sympathy for the current minor problems of warriors.

Also, the consequences of purposely tanking have a far greater effect that just on the team doing the tanking. It affects the teams records who beat the tankers and affects the statistics of the players playing in those games from both squads. This may seem like a minor problem but in some situations it could be a huge factor in determining a scoring champ or a key playoff seed especially in a tight playoff race like in the west. For example any remember when David Robinson was allowed to score 71 points in the last game of the season by a tanking Clippers team to capture the scoring title?

I'm still intrigued by players' attiudes towards Blizzard, the PTR, and class changes in general. After listening to the bloggers talk about the PTR for 20 minutes, I really felt like they all missed it. At least, I don't recall anyone proposing that Blizzard made the PTR and all of its changes to test the effect on gameplay their changes have - not to see how the community will react to them. I'm sure Blizzard notices player feedback (at least in the long run), but as someone who once took game development seriously, I really think that they pay much more attention to, as one of the bloggers said, the data.
