Signs That One Should Drop Out

Signs one should drop out of your current dungeon finder raid:

1) The healer inquires as to what sort of vanity pet your wolf is.
2) Your wolf draws more aggro than the tank.
3) The tank falls off a cliff.

Sadly, all these happened to the Solo MMO Player this weekend....

Learning Data Mining in Your Spare Time

If you are curious about data mining, you'll want to read Zardoz's explanation of how he is improving his data mining skills.

In the article, Z mentions an article by Chris Lewis on predicting a toon's class by looking at their items.  Of course experienced players can do this in their own heads, but perhaps not with such accuracy.  It's an interesting read for the math folks, regardless.
