The LFR difficulty is implemented incorrectly. Rather than giving players a more forgiving mechanic, it allows players to ignore mechanics completely and forces healers to pick up the slack. That being said, not every person in an LFR group hates his or her healers. We discuss another perspective to the LFR problem.

This time we take a look at Episode 7 and unsurprisingly come across more missed opportunities 343i could have taken to improve gameplay. What's even worse are the inconsistencies between 343i's own in-game models and the level designs, and the breaking of immersion due to poor forethought, all of which could be easily fixed for Season 2.

It's hard to imagine what a guildless World of Warcraft would feel like. It's almost unbelievable that someone would even suggest that taking out guilds would improve the game. Carmelo takes a look at what guilds have meant to him.
