There are many things about World of Warcraft that too many of us have taken for granted over time, one of these things is the automatic upgrading of spell ranks on your toolbar. Issues surrounding the automatic upgrading of spells and the simple fact that some people forget to train their spells leads to issues in groups. Byron "Messiah" Mudry looks at a handy little mod that seeks to solve all these issues by pointing out anyone that doesn't use the highest rank spell available to them. While the mod itself is simple, the ethics and perception of it's use may not be. Join the Messiah as he looks at Rankwatch.

Finding this out (that I was using a low level attack), while embarrassing, was a blessing though. I had always thought that Rank Watch was just a way for players to insult other players and show them that they didn't know what they were doing. After all, who wouldn't train their own spells to the highest level? This taught me a valuable lesson though, that sometimes it is just that we take these things for granted.
