How to enjoy WoW the Something Awful way

Those sarcastic Something Awful folks have published a brilliant list of suggested ways to "properly enjoy World of Warcraft". Including such gems as "If they can't type out your name, they can't add you to their ignore list" and "Play as a girl. Do not ever, EVER, even hint that you are male unless you dislike getting free gold from desperate nerds", it's full of useful tips that it seems far too many WoW players abide by.

The girl thing's a bit of a misleading point, though — free gold seems pretty rare (a friend of a friend got some once), although suggestive /tells certainly aren't.
