Vanilla WoW Tips and Tricks to Success (Easy Rank 14) (Quick Raid Progression)

[Staysafe 1]

With Nostalrius-Elysium's upcoming server launches, I thought it'd be nice to make a thread going over some general tips and tricks to be successful in Vanilla WoW so all the newcomers can better prepare themselves. 

Vanilla WoW is an extremely time intensive, yet rewarding game. Maximizing your efficiency, and cutting down on real world distractions will be vital to your success. 

 

Here are some things I personally do to enhance my gameplay:

 

• Collect welfare. If you strategically move to a low-rent area, avoid the pitfall of having a 'job', and keep your expenses to poverty level, you can collect around $200 a month from the government. Remember, less time spent in real life directly equals more time you can spend in Azeroth farming mats for your raid consumables. 
• Collect unemployment. Now that you've successfully avoided getting a job, you can collect unemployment. Being paid to not work is necessary to having enough time and money, around $500 a month from unemployment, to grind honor with your battleground premade group. 
• Collect food stamps. The average human consumes ~2000 calories a day, but the average human is also quite a bit more active than you'll be while playing Vanilla WoW. The $150 you can collect in food stamps will more than cover the Top Ramen noodles and Red Bull energy drinks that your diet should primarily consist of while playing Vanilla WoW for 18 hour sessions.  
• Collect federal student grants. Considering you're going to be living at the poverty line, as long as you maintain a C grade average, you can collect federal grants; essentially getting paid to take classes at your local community college. I highly recommend taking online classes to avoid leaving your room. (Tip: Women's Studies, Philosophy, Creative Writing, etc, are all obvious easy choices). You can expect around $100 in extra grant money from this method. You can easily do your online homework while spending time auto running from one Azerothian location to another. 
• PRO TIP (WARNING: NOT FOR BEGINNERS) - Have several children. Easy to neglect and essentially government assistance magnets, children are a free ticket to Vanilla WoW success. As long as you don't interact with them for more than 15 minutes a day, your cost:benefit ratio will remain in your favor. You can expect around $300 a month from this expert technique. Bonus: at a certain age, your children can farm gold for you.

Please feel free to add more tips and tricks in this thread.

Basically how to play WoW all day and never ever have to work for non-europeans. Uhh you're going to need a good internet connection to play which means you're going to need a dwelling and can't live behind starbucks.

Good luck getting welfare as a white man.

Easiest way is to whore yourself. Gay for pay and sucking off old dudes at gay spas for cash.

Any solution for Russians?

This only counts for the fraction of people who apparently can't "work" and still enjoy the perks of being R14. Better luck next time.

Well not only do you have to take time off of work just to compete with account sharing chinese but you can't have a girlfriend or wife.

As much as i want rank 14 it just won't happen with my available play time.

You know, that is why there only could be "1 HWL every week" - this is not some casual retail achievement. Also, you can manage to get it with the benefit of a girlfriend or wife.

Yeah good luck trying to explain to yo girl that you can't talk to her cuz you have to play 21 hrs a day for weeks so you can get more honor than the chinamen. That'll go over well.

I'm just amazed that your life depends on either not getting R14 or having a girlfriend. Sad reality

I don't need r14. Highest I'll ever go is 12 which I already did on nost. Whoever designed the ranking system at blizzard is grand marshal of autists. If you ever had a girl you would know that all they want is your attention. You know, take them out the movies, the mall, and tell them how their попа totally isn't fat. Boy oh boy once you commit to that r14 grind say goodbye to anything that isn't your job.

The amount of people who don't understand the humor in this is astounding. I for one, will upvote.

So you don't need R14 but you talk about not getting "welfare" because it is difficult to spend time reaching these levels. Ironic. You really use your time efficiently.

Your counter-point doesn't make a lick of sense.
