Know Your Lore: Welcome to the machine
What I really enjoyed about Welcome to the Machine is that for a moment it took you out of that role of adventuring hero, and put you in the NPC position. It was an amazing, wonderful, weird quest, and I still consider it one of the highlights of the Cataclysm expansion. As much as I love the quest, though, I didn't really want an entire expansion of it.
WoW Archivist: Warcraft’s rings
Most rings are little more than an icon and a handful of stats, but some are so much more. Let's take a look at the strange history of Warcraft's rings.
WoW Lead Game Designer Ion Hazzikostas discusses subscription loss with VentureBeat
In the midst of large banwaves and the announcement of lost subscriptions, VentureBeat recently published an interview with Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas.
Datamined Heroes patch reveals new mounts, Hearthstone card back, WoW battle pet

Shifting Perspectives: Have balance druids outgrown Eclipse?
Welcome to Shifting Perspectives, Blizzard Watch’s regular column for druids of all vocations. This week, Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid) is pondering the ecliptic.
So Patch 6.2 is coming and all, but we'll have a year to talk about that. (Kidding! Hopefully...) In the meantime, let's talk about a subject that's close to my heart: Eclipse. Frankly, it stinks. I'd like to take a quick look back to see how Eclipse ended up in its current state, then propose an alternative.

Totem Talk: The rise and fall of Lightning Shield for Enhancement
When I first played World of Warcraft, I barely cared about Lightning Shield. Now, I barely care about Lightning Shield. Those are the end points; the parts in the middle get interesting.
Blood Pact: Warlock-themed battle pets
I've been getting into Pet Battles more because of Anna's brilliant to-the-point guides, and while I know there are better pets out there to use, I'm partial to expanding my army of demonic giraffes minions. Thankfully, most of these are drops I can farm rather than tameables out in the world, so it almost doesn't require pet battling skill at all.
Patch 6.2 PTR: Felblight replaces Felblood as new crafting material
Though this has previously been mentioned in passing, we feel it's worth mentioning in more detail: early in patch 6.2 PTR cycle, Felblood was added as the new crafting material for upgrading crafted items above the current maximum ilevel. The source of Felblood, like Savage Blood, was the Barn -- by trapping new mobs in Tanaan Jungle, you'd have a chance to get Felblood from work orders. However, Felblood has been replaced by Felblight.
Know Your Lore: Why Grommash Hellscream shouldn’t die
It's not just Grommash's character we're looking at here -- it's the entire state of the Horde as we know it. Did the Horde need Garrosh Hellscream? Yes, it absolutely did, and now that he's gone, there's a void left behind that could be filled, oddly enough, by his father from another reality. But before you get me wrong here, I don't mean Grommash should fill that villain role. Far from it.
