New around here? WoW Rookie points WoW's newest players to the resources they need to get acclimated. Send us a note to suggest a WoW Rookie topic. Feeling threatened by brutish, hulking questions about the game? Confusion breathing down your neck? Feeling a little quivery? ... A little uncertain? ... As if you suspected you should have brought a group -- if you knew how to get one, that is?
Don't be intimidated by what you don't know about the World of Warcraft. Get savvy with WoW Rookie! We've built a brand, spanking new listing of topics to make sure you don't get spanked by guys like that guy over there to the right.
Well, ok. Maybe we don't have a Hogger strat in the guide. And maybe Hogger will probably spank you anyway. But you know what we mean. At least, we think you would, if you weren't so busy running back from the Spirit Healer after coming face to face with that ugly gnoll ...

Its really not fair for blizz to sneak a no-win scenario into the game like this. Hogger truly is WoWs Kobayashi Maru. I mean, just look at this screenshot.

I screamed when I saw Hogger's mug there.
Anyway, that is quite possibly the most epic quest to get Loremaster with, hands-down.
And that is a sexy UI, what are you using?

SunnArt viewport, sexymap and bartender mostly.

Nice, I'll try those out myself. Been trying to get a decent looking UI going.

I agree, your UI is beautiful.

So...the easiest MMO in the history of gaming...needs a rookie guide? Are you serious? What's next, paying $15 a month so a Blizzard employee can come to your house and just play the game for you while you sit and drool on your lap?
Fail.

Unfortunately, no one but you was born already knowing how to do something they've never done, or are brand new at, and a guide might be helpful for them. But I sincerely apologize on behalf of the rest of us for wasting your time, o Perfect One.

I'd like to thank everyone who voted down this comment. Because of your vigilance, my eye was instantly drawn to it and it turned out to be the only comment I really read. It didn't surprise me to find it was interesting and insightful as it actually dared to confront the cold, hard truth: WoW is a ridiculously easy game and articles like this make you guys look pathetic.
But don't lose heart, brave WoW.com warriors, I'm sure there will be another girl-meets-mace article in the near future that will cheer you up.

Speaking of hogger....
Lately I have been seeing trade channel "LFM lvl 1 only for Hogger raid"
Good stuff

Probably because people are sick and tired of seeing "Additional instances cannot be launched" they're trying out some of the old world out door bosses.
That's right, I said it.

What a douche bag.

^^^ McMMOLuva that is.

Hogger cannot be defeated. Strike him down, he only rises stronger, and more angry. That is the power of the Dark Side. Why did the Lich King invade? To try to defeat Hogger? Who will be revealed as the final boss of WOW, after whose defeat the game will permanently end, all accounts will be cancelled, and the servers deleted? Ultimate Super-Saiyan Maijinn Hogger One Million of Earth 42!
Fortunately, since Boss Hogger can never be defeated, only thwarted, that'll never happen.
Yes, he can be thwarted. That's why he hates them Duke boys so much! And their little dog too!
But remember, all your base are belong to Hogger who is in it killing your dudes with the power of HEART!

Elwynn Forest was merely a setback!
