Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. In collaborative work, this kind of criticism is often a valuable tool in raising and maintaining performance standards.
example: "Hey, since you are also healing you might want to lay off the DPS so you don't pull too much aggro."
Negative criticism offers no sugggestions for improvement and is said in a negative and unsupportive way. Nothing makes most people bristle more quickly than unfair, unskillful, or unsolicited criticism. Very little productivity will result when team members feel unskillful.
example: "Argh! Learn how to tank more than one target! On every pull, I end up tanking!"
Lets all remember this little lesson and treat our fellow players with respect. We were all n00bs once and with a little patience and teaching, can get closer to uberness.
Thanks for reading and happy questing.
Hey guys well yes I am in grad school and I've decided to do a major research paper on MMO's and social networking websites and how they affect our identities and also our awareness. I really need some people to participate in case studies which I am conducting in order to supplement my paper since this is a new area (relatively speaking).
So long of the short of it, I am going to create a survey online which I will need to be filled out 5 days a week for 2 weeks. The survey will be short and will just ask general questions about hours logged in game, and other pretty general questions. The surveys would only be 15-20 questions long (if that). As far as information about you all I would need to know is your geographic location, age, sex, hours logged each day (estimate).
I would REALLLLLLLY appreciate anyone volunteering to do this for me. Either contract me through this post or email me at firesparks8@verizon.net!
Thanks guyz/galz- lots of <3
Thanks!!
I would really like to get as many people as possible from other countries!
Hi All. I'm new to this forum but not WoW. Anyone else here in total withdrawl as they take down the servers till tomorrow?
So, In beta I played horde, but once release came, all my friends rolled alliance. I know, how could I call them friends if they roll alliance. I tried and tried to get them over to the dark side, but to no avail. They love their alliance. Since then, we've switched servers several times, taken breaks, and I've grown kinda tired of getting up into higher levels and then jumping servers to hang with them.
First post here, but lurked since the beginning. Lookin for a place to play horde with some mature players. Helpful, friendly, serious, but laid back at the same time. I'd highly prefer a normal or RP server(I like PVP, but I wanna do it on my terms and not constantly have to look over my shoulder)
/sniff I miss my orcs and trolls.

Not sure if this kind of thing is allowed here, but I'm at my wits end. I was hoping some of you could help me out with this really wierd problem I had after I installed WoW and patched for the first time. (Yeah, that means I haven't even started playing yet, so I'm a noob in the strongest sense.) It's a bit of an involved story, so help you guys could give me would be appreciated.
I installed WoW a few days ago, but I wasn't able to start it up because I apparently didn't have DirectX 9.0 installed. No big there; tracked it down, installed it, and all went well. I managed to start up the main client with no problems to speak of, logged in without a hitch, and restarted the client to patch, which is where I started having problems.
Once the client finished patching, I restarted like it asked, but now I have some really strange glitch that's been going on every 1/10th of a second or so, where the screen almost seems to split in half and gets some sort of kalaiedascope effect before going back to the normal screen. Best as I can tell, it has something to do with the fire animation in the background, but other than that I have no idea what's going on. Anybody have any advice to offer to a n00b?
