1:41:14 - Technically Challenged 

In this segment, we challenge you the listener to do something different in game.  Each episode we will give a new challenge. After you have completed the challenge, write in to [email protected] with your experience.

Last week’s challenge was: Create a wpvp group to grief a dungeon or raid entrance

People said:

• Doobers: The challenge this week was pretty easy to do for me personally, and one of the only times I can actually get my guild to PvP 😂 we always kill people trying to use the summoning stone before raid! #ForTheHorde 

This week’s challenge is: Get 3-4 healers together in a group and queue for a random BG.

Shoutouts
