	World of Warcraft Etiquette People of Azeroth have as much right to have a good living environment as everyone else does! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First and foremost World of Warcraft is a game, it should at all times be taken light-heartedly and nothing in the game should ever be taken personally, of course this is not always the case. There are times when people will go out of their way to be a pain, and sometimes people will inadvertently do things that annoy other players. It is for the reasons above that I introduce to you, the Guide DAzeroth, a guide that in itself explains many of the in-game intricacies of World of Warcraft Etiquette. What are the proper ways to use chat channels? How do I interact with others in PvP and in PvE? What color shirt should my character wearwell, ok this guide doesnt go THAT far. The premise of this Guide is to give players a general idea of what they should be doing with the tools presented to them in game, as well as good standards for interacting with other players. This is by no means an official game play standard, just standards that for the most part are acceptable amongst all players. For a more official guide check out the one on the Blizzard Site by Clicking Here Using the General Chat Channel: Remember that it is called General for a reason Always remember that there are other players in the same zone as you are, and remember that these players have the same access to the general channel as you do. Whilst posting in the general channel feel free to get involved in discussions that are ongoing, however if these discussions are going to be prolonged it is usually best to make your own chat channel and discuss the subject there. Doing this is common courtesy to those who have other needs for the general channel, such as those who are looking for groups or need in game assistance. Think before you ask a question The general channel is a bastion of information; filled with experienced and inexperienced players each with their own experience and knowledge. Definitely feel free to use the general chat as somewhere to ask questions, however try to avoid the obvious. Asking where Sven Yorgens Farm is, when there is a place on your map called Yorgens Farm will begin to annoy other players who have seen this question asked for the third time in the past hour. There are many other places that questions like the above can be answered. For example; strategy guides, online databases, forums (such as the ones here at wow.tentonhammer.com), and even sometimes in the game manual. Everyone can hear you, everyone can laugh at you PLEASE, use the general chat as a chat that engages with everyone, do not use it as a back and forth chat between yourself and another person. Remember that Blizzard has made it extremely easy (just by double clicking on the players name) to engage in private tells with other players. Discussions over the general channel can be great, just make sure its not you and one other person! It doesnt matter whose is bigger My favorite command when it comes to WoW chatting is the /ignore command. It makes it easy to stamp out any unwanted comments or chats that appear on my general channel. If someone is being annoying in the general channel then, as a courtesy to others, do not reply back in back and forth flames. The best thing to do when someone is annoying you is to ignore the comments or add them to your ignore list. Use CAPS (capital letters) sparingly This is the text equivalent of yelling, and should be reserved for situations where politeness must yield to immediate action. And while there might be instances while grouping and raiding that this occurs, there's really no place for it solo. Using the Trade Channel This channel is for trading The most obvious comment here is to remember that this channel is for trading goods. If someone has a good offer and you accept or vice versa then it should be completed or go to private discussion. Do not continue conversations over the Trade Channel. Sell or buy your goods and be done with it, this is being polite to others who use the channel. Dont send an offer every second This is a hotly contested issue when it comes to the trade channel. In World of Warcraft cities fluctuate with people entering and leaving, and of course if your selling an item you defiantly want to reach all the newcomers. Just make sure that you dont keep posting every 5 seconds about some offer you have, give it some time in-between posting ads. It may be ridiculous, but bite your tongue 5 pieces of linen for the low low offer of 10g! Ok, thats taking it a bit far but please try not to spam people for offering what you consider to be unfair prices. Most players will learn the acceptable amount of coin to offer for items as they progress and use the auction house to learn the standardized in-game pricing. Auction House To Buyout or not to Buyout When making an auction please consider the use of the Buyout option as it can defiantly facilitate a much quicker transaction. In some cases (such as rare items) it may be better to go with a standard auction as you will likely make more profit. Whilst this is not an auction guide I mention this to avoid the following Dont be a pest If someone choses not to make his/her auction with the option to buyout, please respect that. Dont be a jerk by constantly telling the player that you would like to buy the item in question. The person who has made the auction has set the rules, be nice and abide by them. Remember that there is no turning back Bidding on an auction is like entering into a contract with the player offering the item. Do not spam any channel stating that you did not want to buy the item in the auction house, and do not tell the player repeatedly that you did not want to purchase the item in question. All sales are final! Groups, Instances, & Raids Be patient grasshopper Do not continually post in the chat channels about looking for groups. Just like the Trade channel moderate the number of times you post, most of the time if you wait, someone will post before you looking for the same group you were just looking for. Everyone needs to do quests and most of them will need help for the harder ones, just be patient about when they can assist you. And don't forget that the Looking for Group tool is there for a reason. The more it is used, the easier it will be to find a group by using it. Be Prepared Be prepared before going into an instance. Make sure you are stocked up on any bandages, potions, food/drink, reagents or ammunition that will be needed. It can be extremely annoying if your hunter runs out of arrows/bullets in the middle of the instance. Make sure you are prepared with anything that you might need before you begin. Decide on loot right off the bat Once grouped it is best to decide on a method for looting that all players can agree to. If need before greed suits all the players involved then get that out of the way right away. If someone in the group says they deserves to roll on every magic item because theyre an enchanter, make sure everyone else in the group is ok with this. Do not automatically assume that other players are content to roll sporadically on their loot. Play Fair If you come across a treasure chest while in a group, make everyone /roll for it. This will give everyone a fair chance at getting the items within. The /roll will automatically roll a random number between 1 and 100. The person with the highest roll will have first shot at what is in the chest. Furthermore, do not loot items during battle. Wait until everyone is out of combat. The reason for this is so that if a item drops that needs to be rolled on, everyone will have a fair chance to roll on it. During combat, people may not be concentrating and hit greed on an item they actually needed. There is no I in Team, and the Me will get you killed One of the largest problems with most groups is the scout syndrome; otherwise known as the player who runs straight forward looking for shineys, only to come back to the party with some recently met friends. Remember to stay close to the party and keep in mind that there are others in the group who may not be ready (like me, the mage who never has enough mana!). If you do run off, its likely your group mates might not be impressed with you Planning is half the battle Being in a group, be it Instance or Raid, will have its success based off the planning done within it. For the most part, running blindly in shooting off spells and engaging in combat will end badly. Remember to use the strengths of your party members and coordinate their abilities, be it the polymorph of the mage, or the directive that if everything goes sour that the priest jumps off the side of the boat into safety. Ignoring the plan will annoy your group mates and very likely get you killed, so be nice and stick with the plan. Make Sure Everyone Finishes Don't leave a group immediately when you finish the quest requirements that you need. Make sure that everyone in the group has finished as well. They helped you get yours, the least you can do is help them to finish up as well. If you absolutely have to leave then, make sure they know you're leaving and why before you go. Saying nothing can cause them to think that you only used them to get what you needed. Share If you have extra of something that someone might need, share it with your group members. Bandages are one example of a useful item that everyone can benefit from. If you are able to buff someone, share the wealth. Buffs are useful and can help people in combat even after they have left your group. Also, if you have more than one buff, you may want to ask your group members which buff they would prefer you to use.
