Linkage

I plan on writting something more thoughtful later this week, but today I am just providing some links to great posts others have written.

Dungeon Chaperoning Galo nails the dangers of running lowbies through instances on a 70 character.

Tank Pulling Lale lists some great reasons for tanks to pull in instances. When I started on my hunter I thought I would be able to fill the role of puller, but experience quickly showed that tank pulling made life easier. Of course, misdirection is a nice solution at 70 for some of the harder pulls, remember to make use of it.

Triviality of MMORPGs Tobold perfectly presents a topic that I have been debating with some mates. I actually had started a post on this very topic, but this covers it better then I would attempt. My only additional note would be that I dislike the term "dumbing down" when applied to removing time sinks. As stated, time does not directly equal difficulty. So easing the eternal search for vendors and quest givers doesn't make the game dumber, it just removes the wasted time and allows us to get to the fun quicker.
