Asking for +Rep is against the rules.
And i think this belongs in WoW General.

Sorry didnt know, removed the +rep part. And I think it belongs here because it sorta is a guide. Once the mods see it they can decide.

[DarkStorm1982]

have to say this is a good idea, and well done.

[Trollblod]

Nice guide, btw, imho is In my "honest" opinion, not humble ^^
And..

Instances and locations (NON BC/WOTLK)

VC: Deadmines

DM: Deadmines

Guess it's just a spelling mistake, DM = Diremaul : )

[stev067]

I agree with OP about IMHO. But it can clearly go either way.

[poiper]

Orly?: Reply with Yarly

haha, good job!

[Waky]

Nice guide, btw, imho is In my "honest" opinion, not humble ^^

I know it as humble, so both work

He could even just put

IMHO = In my (humble/honest) opinion

[madsherlock]

didn't bother to read it through since I think it's unnecessary, but death knights can tank too and nub=noob=n00b=newbie=new player.
and orly means oh really. and lol you didnt list yarly

[Wisdowofdead]

Hearth isnt Heartstone
HS=Hearthstone

Nice guide tough

yarly = Yeah, really.

captain obvious

i think this guide might actually be helpful, but bit wrong forums for posting this due usually new players wont search for hacks ;P or then its just me :S

[DisturbingEffect]

Add, IDD = Indeed.
Btw in my case this is so Common Sense it can be.
But great for new players, but i don't think the visit MMowned the first they do.

[pyratus]

Nice list! Perhaps OP and Imba should be added? Good job though, and I think you should do the update +rep if I can.

[Forgiving]

IMHO: In my humble opinion

Orly?: Reply with Yarly

Can't tell if you're kidding or not, but if you aren't, why is it fail? This seems like a pretty nice guide, and I can't find any evidence that it was a C+P...
