The Daily Quest: They really are

- Grey Matter really dislikes the Moonkin set bonus on the recently unveiled Tier 9 armor.
- Pink Pigtail Inn has a pretty convincing argument for why "more epics" does not equal "new content."
- Burnout? With all of the new patch 3.2 information coming down, Pike doesn't know anything about burnout.
- Rhii of ISheepThings, on the other hand, isn't real happy with the World of Warcraft today.
- And finally, Sydera over at World of Matticus waxes philosophical about exploits and how Blizzard is punishing them.

Thank you so much for that last link. I remember being a bit disheartened by the cavalcade of comments after the Karatechop story that essentially said, "Got what he deserved...should've known better."
Sometimes I notice an attitude that all people should know Blizzard's policies (even unwritten ones) backwards and forwards, and that anyone getting hit with the banhammer deserved it 100%. But let's face it...it's a large TOS and when it really comes down to it, about half the characters I see in Azeroth don't fit the naming policy in one way or another. So, which rules are we really, really supposed to follow then?
I certainly have my own code of ethics with games. I do not cheat. I do not grief other players. I do not use serious exploits (for example, I remember being upset whenever a group in Left 4 Dead expected me to do the "under the walkway trick").
But, if a PUG told me that standing in a certain place makes a boss much easier, I might go along with it without even knowing that I was "exploiting." After all...I'm constantly reading in various boss strategies that I should stand with my back against the wall to avoid knockback.
The linked article asks a very important question...where is the line and how are we all supposed to know it?

Grey Matter is absolutely spot-on, and reflects exactly how i feel about the warlock set. it was very cathardic reading someone more eloquent than i lay it all out.
