Wowhead.com & Flash Based advertising.

I like WoWHead.com, I really do.  I have found it to be a very useful site that has such an amazing depth of knowledge about everything World of Warcraft.

Unfortunately, it’s been destroyed by advertising.  In ZAM’s (the parent company) quest to increase revenue of the site, they’ve increased the amount of ads on a page as well as intrusive sound ads.   These ads are horrible.

They ads slow down the browser.  They crash the browser.  They truly are the worst of the worst.  Yet, ZAM has made no effort to change them or switch over to HTML5 ads.  Large corporate sites such as these should not be using these ads.

Please, Wowhead, use better ads, be nice to your site visitors!!  If not, someone else will just do it better and people will move on.  It happens all the time.

Thanks@

Achievements !!!

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had a chance to post on here.  Life and work in general have just been busy, and I haven’t had as much time to play as I would like.

I have been spending a lot of time getting achievements that I have wanted for awhile.  These range from the new ones in Tanaan Jungle and Draenor Area, to old ones from Burning Crusade or later.

I was really happy that I got Tons of Toys, which was so nice, unfortunately, it just means that I need to get the next one …. The Toy Master !!! Finding another 50 toys is going to be quite a challenge.

I’ve gotten many others which you can check out on my Armory Page.  The one area where I am really suffering with is PVP Achievements.    I’m only at 36%, which is really kind of sad 🙁  I’ll just add it to my long list of things to do in WoW.
