So I decided to start a new "segment" for blogging here: The Top 5 List. For those of you who may have seen High Fidelity, yes, that's where the idea came from. I'm a huge fan of Cusak and Jack Black, so together in the same movie was a no-brainer. Love that flick.

Anyway, here are the "rules":
I'll try and set an agenda each week of what this week's list will be about. Feel free to make your replies as long - or keep them as short - as you like. Some Top...

Nice intro ya think? Lol. As I spend time with me new progression guild I find that it is a bad time to be new. Or maybe it is a good time. With a guild that has cleared 10/25 ULD and is working on hard modes at the moment, I was afraid I wouldn’t get to raid. Teams would be set and not much room for noob me. Well noob to this guild anyways. But it is summer. Cookouts, fishing, camping, cross country trips to see family. Our attendance has been a little lax. At 1st I was very worried about...

We'll this is my first Tankspot blog; I hope it's not too boring!

A little back ground is in order I think I've been tanking since vanilla in top 5 server guilds since I was 60.

I think I might leave me guild and try to find one more suited to what I want out of the game.

I'm not a very hardcore player, but I do expect people to do certain things if they want to succeed past Naxx. I want people to have food buffs and flasks for hard or untried content. I want them to be on time, and if they've signed up for the raid, dedicate the time required to that raid, and not just skip out on it. I also want people to have the gold required for repairs in progression...

First, before I get into my topic, I want to give a shout out to Impervious on Stormreaver US server. Last night they defeated Algalon on heroic, and were first on the server to do so. Yes, Algalon has been beaten for weeks now, and yes, people understand the encounter more now. That doesn’t detract from the achievement for me though, and when I look at the still, tiny number of guilds that have successfully completed it, I felt it appropriate to mention. Also, many people in my own guild simply...
