You Know You Are Undergeared When...

You know you may be undergeared in the Northrend when you run the Gear Wish List app and your Kaluk fishing pole comes up as your top weapon.

True story says the Solo MMO Player with a deep sigh.

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.
