Solo MMO Player Speaks: Ring of Champions Clutter-Busting
The Solo MMO Player Speaks
There's no need to rush into the Ring of Champions (or any leveling phase of the Argent Tournament) and cause a traffic pile-up. Have a little patience. There's no rule against a unmounted player on the sidelines assisting a mounted player in taking down an opponent. Then you can switch places and sit on the sidelines for a bit while someone else takes a turn.
Helping someone who needs a bit of assistance (whether they are in your own guild or not) is a beneficial policy for everyone. Friendly assistance from the sidelines helps clear the crowd out. Everyone will get through it faster if players aren't jousting across each other's paths. More experienced players won't be frustrated at the wait and jump in; less experienced players will be helped to win in a shorter time.
We need to start improving our behavior overall in WOW. Exert patience, you'll get help when you need it, and give help when someone else needs it. If you want to practice new skills, it's much better to schedule jousting in off-peak tournament playing hours if your schedule permits. None of us want the Argent Tournament to end up looking like the World Wrestling Federation's tag team matches. We'll all gain more enjoyment out of the Argent Tournament challenge if we are considerate.

Cccchanges (Faction, Forum, Argent Tournament Problems)
Lots of new stuff happens in WOW all the time. Here's a quick list of the most significant changes this week.
The paid faction change service is up and running, so if you want to be Horde instead of Alliance (or vice versa) pay the gold and you are good to go. You can change your name and appearance, too. Note there are mount and reputation restrictions, there isn't a server transfer involved and some folks won't be allowed to switch if their server is already tilted too far to the side they want to join. Read the fine print in the second link.

Blizzard has opened a Cataclysm forum. Speculate there to your heart's content but don't forget to push for the original game to be put in the Caverns of Time so it is still playable. It would be a crime to lose it so give Blizzard the idea that having original content still available will keep players paying them.

There have been problems with jousting in the Argent Tournament which are described here as well as some ways to avoid them. Blizzard promised to "address" these.

Tree Bark Jacket was independently preparing material on jousting. Here's his take which is divided by skill level and which also points you to a nice YouTube video of jousting in action.
