Simple things are enjoyable.
Simple things like taking lazy and gullible peoples golden pixels from their account to mine.
So much so that if I was to play this game more regularly, and gold making more important than all the other amusing things I do, I would almost certainly change my raid schedule. I would raid on the weekends, just because the gold potential on Tues, Wednesday Achievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00610554799928686683noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396402461298195288.post-67708900495359265942012-10-17T13:21:00.001-04:002012-10-17T13:21:06.327-04:00Daily quests
Daily quests seem to consume the majority of my time. As far as gold making or blogging, there has been little time for it.
I can attest to the apparent relief that exists after hitting revered with Golden Lotus. I stopped doing their dailies with intentions of coming back to them at a later time when the CRUSH dies down, and there are not 20-40 people stacked up on the quest Achievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00610554799928686683noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396402461298195288.post-72581583555864922072012-07-27T12:24:00.000-04:002012-07-27T12:24:55.178-04:0085 to N Madness in 5 days???So, I leveled the farmer toon to level 85, the herber miner guy and got some HOT gear and couple Valor pieces and crafted items to help on the way... it was I think 5days later that I crushed normal madness...

Mostly it revoled around preps for Pandaland release.
My single most flexible goald is currently which toons to level first and fastest, as well as what grinds for rep and such to start first etc.

Start with the BEST. Finish with the MOST IMPORTANT!
Okay, so I started a series on Professions, and I covered them all. So if my opinionated views on the best were first, and I have covered all professions, what is the most important? I will get to that, but first a random thought.
