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.
http://armorydatamine.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/teach-yourself-datamining-in-21-days/

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.

A Mage's Five Main Stats (And Why They Hate Hunters)

Larissa's guest post for Armegeddon's Coming discusses what she things are the most important stats for a mage--agility, attack power, hit rating, diplomacy and mana regeneration.
http://gnomeaggedon.net/2010/06/03/misleading-mage-posts-agility-and-attack-power-–-the-essentials-of-a-mage/

To understand the refererences to mage blogs and mage bloggers who give out misleading information, read this.  Please note that BRK didn't actually diss mage blogs, but he didnn't disagree, either.

I can see it's going to be a month of mages versus hunters.

Wrath of the Lich King Progression Stats

This statistical analysis is full of graphs that show how much help the cheat buffs are in getting guilds through Icecrown Citidal.  It also shows how many guilds have gotten through earlier content which leads the author to speculate how Cataclysm might be structured.

Blizzard Collects Dungeon Finder Information

According to WOW Insider, Blizzard is keeping tabs on player behavior in the dungeon finder, at least in the Public Test Realm where Patch 3.3.3 is being beta tested.
http://www.wow.com/2010/02/24/patch-3-3-3-ptr-random-dungeons-are-being-watched/

I am still waiting for Blizzard to change the rules so that folks can't be kicked out of a group after the main boss is dead.  This is just a way to grab all the loot by reducing competition for it.  There is no other reason to kick out someone at the end.

WOW By the Numbers

WOW Insider alerts us to a graphic about various WOW stats:  How many quests finished per second, number of items, number of players, etc.  I am a bit skeptical as to how accurate the numbers are, but it is a fun thing to view.

You can find the graphic here.
