Some of the most interesting, informative posts at WoW.com start out as rollicking debates in Pandora’s Box of Geekery and Chaos (aka the WoW.com staff chat room).

What piece of sheer new-player obliviousness causes WoW.com writers to snap? Find out what sets off the rage (plus links to some handy resources that’ll help put out the fires) after the break. Be sure to drop by the comments to share (and solve) your own most dreaded rookie pitfalls!
