Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

What would you do if you could redesign crafting in WoW?

by Matthew Rossi on March 5, 2019 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

For myself, I think the best time I had as a crafter in WoW was during The Burning Crusade, when I could make myself epic weapons that were on par with raid drops and upgrade them so that I could hold on to a signature weapon all expansion.
