n recent weeks, some questions have arisen in regards to our Weekly Podcast Roundup, posted each Monday afternoon. How do we screen podcasts? How do we choose who makes the list and who doesn’t? I’m going to take a moment of your time to explain as best we can.

To get on our podcast roundup, all that you need to do is produce a World of Warcraft podcast and make us aware of it. You can either leave a comment with a link on the most recent roundup post, or contact us via our Contact Us page. If you publish a podcast within the dates indicated on the next roundup post, you should see yourself on the list.

Generally speaking, we don’t claim responsibility for the contents of the podcasts we list. We don’t make them, we don’t condone them, all that we do is make them available for the community to find what they like. If you want to know how we screen podcasts, we generally don’t. We can’t listen to every podcast the community publishes. In last week’s podcast roundup, there were 39 World of Warcraft podcasts listed. If you consider that the average length of a podcast is one hour, listening to every podcast we list would equal an entire full-time work week. We simply can’t listen to all of them. We do listen to some of them because we enjoy them, but not all of them.

Speaking honestly, it’s not a great decision for an editorial team (like ours) to promote work they can’t personally vouch for. Conventional wisdom would say that we shouldn’t maintain such a list if we can’t listen to absolutely everything on the list. However, when we chose to do the Weekly Podcast Roundup, we chose to take a risk — we chose that we would rather risk a few bad apples than to cut off support for the World of Warcraft podcast community. We publish almost everything sent to us as-is and we hope the community can self-police.

The only thing we might change in your podcast listing is the title of an episode if the title contains profanity. In that case, we’ll replace the written title with an episode number. We try to use as little profanity (swears, cusses, oaths, whatever) as possible on our own site. If you follow the Twitter accounts of some of our staff, you’ll quickly see that many of us have potty mouths in our free time, but we keep it clean on-site because it’s the decent, respectful thing to do. Sometimes we slip up, but we do our best.

From time to time, we do remove a podcast from our list if it becomes abundantly clear that their behavior negatively impacts our community. That decision is completely made at our own discretion, based on standards we try to hold ourselves to here on WoW Insider. Some of the things that we absolutely will not promote are:

* Hate speech (whether it be racial, gendered, or based in sexual orientation or religious belief, etc)
* “Jokes” about sexual assault
* “Jokes” about child abuse
* Sharing an unwilling party’s personal information (real name, address, and so forth)
* Just about any behavior we deem harmful or threatening toward real people

We can’t stop you from doing whatever you want on your own podcast, but we don’t have to like it, condone it, or promote it.

We’re never going to share publicly who we’ve removed from our listings or why. It simply isn’t going to happen. It’s inappropriate to divulge that kind of information. Nobody has anything to gain from WoW Insider airing dirty laundry. The only thing that would result is the same sort of drama we attempt to avoid by having these rules to begin with.

If you’re an avid podcast listener and you read through those rules wondering why we haven’t removed X or Y podcast from our list for breaking them, it might be because we gave that podcast the benefit of the doubt. Since we can’t listen to every podcast published every week, they may be breaking these loose rules and we don’t know it. If you want to report a problem to us, please do. Use our Contact Us form and give us as many details as possible such as links, timestamps for the issue you describe, and any other information you can provide. An angry email with no context doesn’t help us resolve anything. Unleashing your rage and calling people out in our comments doesn’t help anybody, either. In fact, calling people out tends to do nothing but complicate the issue.

We want to continue promoting the podcast community to the best of our ability. We don’t want to let a few bad apples ruin the bunch. If you produce a podcast, try to have some basic decency. Not only for your listeners, but for humanity at large. If you listen to podcasts, help us help you. 

Our bonus question this week asked your intrepid WoW Insider staff how they felt about the upcoming patch 5.3. But then, we found out our own Sarah Pine is getting married this weekend! Congratulations to Ms. Pine on the nuptials! Thanks for bringing a little extra joy to the weekend, and may you both have many wonderful decades ahead of you!

Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) I have a feeling this is going to be one of those working weekends, although I hope to get a bit of LFR in at some point as well. As for patch 5.3, I’m really excited to see how it all pans out, lore-wise. The lore so far this expansion has been some of the best stuff ever — I think more people have been discussing the story and lore surrounding this expansion more than any other. Does it have its weak spots? Sure — but at the same time, I love the fact that we’re getting a really cohesive, well-told story out of all of this.

Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid, @alaronmonk) Still extremely busy with work, but will probably get in some LFR; those Secrets aren’t going to reveal themselves. Happy about Lesser Charms getting distributed more widely, and very happy about the pet battle changes. I’m undecided about how much I like item upgrades returning; I like the concept, but now I’ll feel forced to cap VP again every week.

Dan Desmond (@Antigen_) Well, I have LFR scheduled for Saturday afternoon, so other than that I’m probably going to try to work on some mod stuff for the Skyrim Creation Kit and hopefully, once that’s finished, finally start Bioshock Infinite.

I’m pretty excited about the bonus roll changes and the reduced cost for heirloom upgrades. It just needs to get here soon!

Daniel Whitcomb (@danielwhitcomb) I continue to gear up my hunter. I’m to have the item levels for Heart of Fear by the end of the weekend, if I’m lucky. As for patch 5.3, I still strongly believe that the Alliance should have a separate Horde-fighting storyline for patch 5.3, be that pushing into Hillsbarad, taking back Ashenvale, or performing actual espionage by sabotaging Garrosh and Vol’jin rather than building up Vol’jin, and I still think the Hordebreaker title is sort of silly since the Alliance is not actually breaking the Horde, but helping to save it from Garrosh. But hey, telling off Vol’jin is pretty sweet, and I’m expected to get item upgrades back.

Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) I’m taking a little break from WoW. Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and Dishonored are all on my play list.

Joe Perez (@lodurzj) more alt leveling for me. Really enjoying pretty much everything I’m seeing so far for patch 5.3. Story progression seems awesome, and it just seems like there will be enough there to keep me busy until the next raid tier as well.

Kristin Marshall (@kristin) Doing yard work this weekend, grumble grumble. *sneeze* I hope to work in alt leveling before I have to get back to wiping on Heroic Ji-Kun.

As for 5.3, I’m looking forward to where the story goes! The pet battle changes are nice, too.

Matthew Rossi (@MatthewWRossi) Right now I’m playing the “Watch everything go pear shaped on Twitter” game. You play it by constantly being gobsmacked at every other tweet as people say things like “Cops are surrounding the house now” or “All transit has been shut down” and you realize that in the course of a week constantly impossible to believe things have just kept happening. Oh, and I got Primordius’ Talisman of Rage off of a coin in ToT this week, so there’s that.

Patch 5.3? At this point, I don’t even know where *I* am half the time, much less how the patch is doing.

Michael Gray (@writegray) I like to play Tron light cycle in my head while I mow. I’m so boring.

Olivia Grace (@oliviadgrace) Not going to be able to play a great deal this weekend, I suspect, given that we have our family business’ fan club’s annual meet on Saturday. I’ll hopefully have the time and energy for some arenas, and almost certainly a few rounds of Order and Chaos Duels, which is a tablet or phone based card game that a friend got me into and that I can’t put down! I didn’t think I was interested in Hearthstone…

I’m really excited for the PvP changes, but very underwhelmed by the alliance story elements that I’ve seen so far.

Robin Torres (@cosmiclaurel) Lots of family stuff this weekend, which will include some pandaren duo time with The Spawn.

Sarah Pine (@ilaniel) Well I don’t expect to be playing many video games this weekend because I’m getting married on Saturday. Admittedly the events in Boston and elsewhere this week has put a bit of a damper on my spirit, but my friends keep reminding me that we need good news too, and I am thrilled to death to be tying the knot at last with my partner of 8 years (sometimes referred to as Mr. Lani on twitter). I hope that everyone is staying safe with their loved ones this weekend. 

In World of Warcraft, there are many various different quests which divided into basic quests, daily quests and group quests. A group quest is require some number players make up a group to achieve this quest, and every member allow gain quest items and the same World of Warcraft gold. The Eye of the Storm is a 15-man battleground available from level 61 to 70 and is located in the Outlands’s Netherstorm. Yes, it is a group quest. Unlike the other battlegrounds though, you may not enter this battleground through a normal entrance, instead, you will need to queue at one of the many battle masters in the cities.

Eye of the Storm plays like a combination of World PvP, Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch (PvP is the common method of completing WoW power leveling). How is this possible? Let’s analyze all the mechanics Eye of the Storm has and why it is so unique when compared to the other battlegrounds. To win, your faction must collect 2000 Victory Points which can be earned through various methods.
Strategies of The Eye of the Storm

There’s many strategies your team can try to win in Eye of the Storm, we’ll go from fastest to slowest. Players allow gain much rewards including a large of cheap WoW gold after you finish this quest.

Fastest – 4-Cap the battleground. This ends the battleground in less than 10 minutes, and will only work if the other team isn’t playing well or has a lower number of players. Flags are a non-issue, just concentrate on having 4 towers and you will win shortly after. A preferred tactic by “Premade” Teams!

Fast – 3-Cap towers, flag running as possible. While you may want to hold 3 towers and forget the flag, it’s an added bonus to keep running it or at least keep the enemy from scoring extra points. Remember flag caps also bump up your honor rating!

Contested – 2-cap, each side keeps two towers, relies on flags to win. Simple, if you’re fighting an even team, do your best and focus on the flag to turn the tide and eventually either take 3 towers or hold and win. 

In World of Warcraft, if you want to fight each other consensually in the PvE environment, dueling is your best choice. You will gain much fun from dueling others, it’s a contest of skills, a test of abilities and tactics in PvP combat.
How to get started?

Select an opponent. Click on the player’s portrait and select the “Duel” option. A battle flag will drop from the sky, the person you challenged must accept the duel, and otherwise you cannot able to attack him. There is a countdown before a duel start. As the character’s name turn red, the player is now hostile. A sound will also play when a duel get started.

Another way to get started a duel is to type “/duel” while having the target you wish to duel both targeted and in range. This may be more convenient if you wish to create a macro for this function. The first player to reduce their opponent’s health to 1 hit point (players do not fight to the death in duels) is the winner.
Rewards:

If you win, the system announces the result to the zone, therefore you get glory. You will not earn XP or anything to loot, what you really get is the satisfaction of knowing that you were able to defeat another player and possibly gain some experience at fighting other players that you will be able to use in the various forms of PvP combat. But sometimes, players wager bets on duels, so maybe you can earn some World of Warcraft gold.
Additional Information:

You can’t duel in certain areas, such as within the confines of a city.
Dueling players can cast helpful spells on their allies (but not vice versa).
Skills will not increase from use while dueling or engaged in PvP.
Players can not swap their gear while dueling.
You are considered in combat for the entire duration of a duel.
Warning:

Dueling in neutral towns or cities may anger the local guard NPCs (who will attack the duelers) and lower the reputation of the duelers there.
You cannot duel somebody who has you on their ignore list.
