So you want to keep from making stupid mistakes? Follow these basic guidelines when playing, and you won't look like such a waste of Blizzard Entertainment's server space.

Basic Tips

 * Don't request a duel with someone who evidently happens to be running out the gates of whatever safe area you both happen to be in. He's obviously got other stuff to do. Go pester someone who ISN'T running out the gates.
 * Somewhat related to the above, don't accuse the player of being "scared" because as has already been written, they in all likelihood denied your request to duel because they have stuff to do. The smartest players will throw your name on their Ignore lists so fast you'll become stillborn in your mother's gaping womb. That's fast.
 * If you're reliant on ranged attacks (like a Mage or a Priest) and the particular mob you're after happens to be moving, approach it from the SIDE, not the front or from behind, so you will get the maximum distance possible and therefore have more time to cast spells uninterrupted before it reaches you and starts to delay your casting speed with its own melee attack.

"Ten Commandments" of World of Warcraft (as dictated by myself)

 * 1) Thou shalt not play any other MMO more than you play World of Warcraft.
 * 2) Thou shalt not spam General.
 * 3) Thou shalt not buy or sell gold, characters or accounts.
 * 4) Thou shalt not commit to an instance or raid unless you know you actually have time to do finish it.
 * 5) Honor thy Guild Master.
 * 6) Thou shalt not corpse camp.
 * 7) Thou shalt not beg.
 * 8) Thou shalt contribute fairly in a battleground and not farm HKs instead.
 * 9) Thou shalt offer assistance to friendly players in need of healing or resurrection if you are capable.
 * 10) Thou shalt not ninja items for your own profit above the needs of others in your group.

Minor Commandments
While these are not part of the Ten Commandments of WoW, they are still important.


 * Thou shalt not come to a raid or instance unprepared.
 * Thou shalt not undress thy character and dance.
 * Thou shalt not use any form of 1337-speak.
 * Thou shalt not worry about aggro management in PvP.
 * If a Priest, thou shalt expect to be assigned to healing and not DPS in an instance group.
 * Thou shalt repair gear as often as needed.
