I always tell my wife that if I can’t be handy, I’ll at least be handsome. So, if my column can’t be timely it can at least be.. silly, let’s go with that today.
Most of you have visited the PlayerScore.com scoreboards. For those that haven’t, go click now, but essentially it is a list of the best geared, highest PVP scoring and highest raid scoring players in the World of Warcraft. As I write this, Robinboy of the guild Draama on the Chromaggus (EU) server is the top geared player in the game. Job well done Robinboy, but don’t look back! Absalom from Blood Legion of the Illidan (US) server is right behind you!
The PlayerScore tech types recently added a list that shows the items that are the most popular. You can click here to see it. It’s an interesting list in that the many of the top items are 564 or 423 GearScore level items. In other words, they are relatively high level items.
Playing with the filters brings up some surprising information. For instance, click on the Class drop down to see what the most popular items that Shaman wear are and….
The #1 item is a cloth item. What in the? Yes, it’s a reputation item, but shaman lose their “wear all mail” bonus when they equip it.
The #6 item is also a cloth item, Shadowflame Robes. People, seriously…
Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to find the silliest item in any of the lists that you can come up with and send it in to me. I’ll pick a few of the best ones and post them in a future column. Now.. back to the Tardis!
Send me your thoughts.
As always, you can contact me a number of ways:
