The robot lovers among you have undoubtedly already devoured our exclusive BlizzCon interview with Mr. Robot, the enigmatic robot-about-town behind Ask Mr. Robot. The gear optimizing tool burst onto the scene early this year, sparing players endless agony over hammering out the best stats, glyphs, enchants and other twitchiness for their gear (or, you know, making a wild stab, shrugging, and slapping on more mastery with a sardonic “whatever”).
Where did this fantabulous, angst-saving service come from? How does it work? And why is it giving you that weird answer about that one piece of gear you thought would be your set’s saving grace? We interviewed Peter Coley, co-founder of Ask Mr. Robot, and took your questions for the development team from Twitter and our previous interview here.

I don’t know if the letter writer is American; I just like the song. We normally edit our letters a little for clarity, but the way this one is written is important to this week’s topic.

New around here? WoW Rookie has your back! Get all our collected tips, tricks and tactics for new players in the WoW Rookie Guide. WoW Rookie is about more than just being new to the game; it’s about checking out new classes, new playstyles, and new zones.
WoW‘s a big game, and it features plenty of nooks and crannies for everyone to explore and tuck away favorite tricks. With millions of players and years of development behind it, the World of Warcraft is a lot for a new player to grasp all at once. Even after playing on your own for a while, a player who isn’t plugged into the community can miss little techniques that veteran players take for granted. These little hidden features aren’t obvious if no one tells you or you don’t read about them on fan sites or news sources.
Without further comment, let’s dive into 8 tips the veterans use in their gameplay. They might help you out.
8. Get some addons. Addons are an obvious go-to method for improving your gameplay, but you’d be surprised how little documentation exists about them inside the game.

From Hollywood celebrities to the guy next door, millions of people have made World of Warcraft a part of their lives. How do you play WoW? We’re giving each approach its own 15 Minutes of Fame.
Shane Moore, author of the Abyss Walker series, missed being included in our recent roundup of WoW-playing authors — but that’s not why we’re profiling him today. Shane’s been rabble-rousing on the battlefield and around town, cooking up a whole different kind of PVP stew on his home realm: a third faction.
If you’ve ever felt ambivalent about playing sides in the Horde vs. Alliance tug-of-war, you’ve probably dreamed of what a third faction could be like. Shane and his guildmates are playing around with the idea in game now. At more than 1,000 members and growing strong, The Third Faction claims to draw its powers from the mandate of the masses rather than the tyrannical whims of Azeroth’s ruling dictators.
