The Daily Quest: Summertime and the raiding is easy

Well, summertime raiding may not be easy, however it'll definitely get easier as the buff from Icecrown Citadel slowly inches its way up to the 30% mark -- but I'm a sucker for a Gershwin reference. While some will invariably be outside living it up in the sunshine, others like myself will be avoiding the evil daystar at all costs in an effort to remain blister-free from its threatening rays. Seriously, I turn a shade of red eerily reminiscent of the sparkling pony pictured above. What's left for us sun-sensitive people to do? Why raid, of course -- and there are plenty of blogs that have something to say about raiding:
- Bible of Dreams would like to politely remind everyone that when your raid leader says everyone, this means YOU.
- World of Warcraft Philosophized has some raiding advice for people who raid infrequently.
- Addicted to WoW posted an interesting piece on WoW raiding and motor learning.
- Blessing of Fish gives us a short guide to raiding standards.
- The Healz Squad has some advice on how to be a good raider.
- Tree of Life hands out some raid detention slips.

Is the sparkle pony's armor Photoshopped or are there circumstances that its armor color changes?

When player character is under effects which affect rendering of character, such as poison, or shadow form, or animal kill debuff in Borean Tundra etc, only opaque parts of TRH are affected.

"Summertime and the raidin's easy
Deathwing's on the way to make us go "O-M-G"
All the raiders in the land will agree that
we're well qualified to represent the NPCs"
... Eh, well I tried.

Summertime, and the raidin' is easy
Downin' bosses, and the loot sure is fine
I got my Best-in-Slot Purpz
They're all gemmed and enchanted
So Deathwing? Swing on by.

Sorry guys, the words don't fit with the melody. Nice try tho.

Mine do, but I'm basing it off of the jazz standard instead of the original opera (I took a jazz class last semester and heard the Miles David rendition of it about a million times, and I've never actually listened to Porgy and Bess) and improv'd triplets in one line. Now I'm tempted to sing it.

Mine's pretty close, but I'm going off the lyrics for the Sublime song.

I immediately put Anwins lyrics to Sublime... Oh how I love Sublimes music.

Summertime and all the school kids are playing, so yes, while raids are easier to find and join, you are more likely to run into some 14 year olds with no experience whining and complaining and dropping groups and.......

Ironically raiding gets harder in the summer...in summer everyone goes on vacation and takes breaks from the game.
