These are common inquiries in the forums that time and time again gets answered. Hopefully, this will alleviate the amount of common forum post.
GANKING
Ganking on a PVP server has always been a thing even on retail, may it be corpse camping or just some guy passing by.
No one is safe. Not even your dog!!!!!!!!!!
What you can do are:
1. Use General chat or Global to ask for an 80 to help you.
2. Find another area to level up and you can check here to find what areas are good to level with.
3. Avoid Heavily ganking places. Ex: Stranglethorn Vale, Tanaris, Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh and so on (Please comment below if there are more ganking hotspot)
4. If the guy keeps corpse camping you. You can either logoff or afk for 5-10 minutes, he'll eventually go away. EVENTUALLY

Multiboxing
Now this one might seem annying and unfair to some people but this is a legitimate. It's a controversial topic every since its been introduced in WoW and fighting one might be hard, however, it has weaknesses and you can try and look it up. :)
Gold Scams
There are many types of Scammers, the most common are Trade Scam and Cod scam.
Trade Scam
It's the most basics of basics. This usually happens of the person or you weren't paying attention to the trade box. They usually change the items so fast that you won't notice it and you better highlight the item first before accepting the trade. This also applies to gold as well, all they have to do is remove a single digit from the amount and TADAH. You lost a lot of gold (I was a victim of this as well).
COD Scam
It is very sneaky if you're not paying attention or new, Cash on Delivery or COD are basically a mail with an item on it that you have to buy to actually get the item mailed. When you hover on the item, if you see a price or gold on the item, don't click it and return it. Once you do click it, your gold will be sent to the one who sent you the cod mail and the item will be in your inventory. These scames usually looks like this:
Happy Anniversary and this little bag of items is a gift from us! - Warmane Team
Link Scam
Don't ever click on any website or link that some guy sent you. You gotta verify it first if you are unsure about it. Anything that looks fishy are a big nono! A wise man once said: "Don't trust people on the internet".
GearScore
Usually, GS determines how good or how experienced a player is. The higher the numbers the better in the eyes of a pug leader. I did led pugging a year ago. I highly recommend joining a progressive guild so you don't have to pug and get your gear stolen by a hunter.
Also, you should read guides on how/where to gear your character.
You can easily get gears by Doing Heroic Dungeon Finder or Pit of Saron, Forge of Souls and Halls of Reflection (The heroic version of this will get you near 5kGS at the least) You can also buy yourself some nice ICC 264iLVL BoEs from the Market.
There are tons of guides here on this section in this link.
Any players must have these enchants:
Head enchants
Magic DPS/Heal - Arcanum of Burning Mysteries- Int/Crit
- Arcanum of Blissful Mending - Int/Spirit
Physical DPS - Arcanum of Torment
Tank- Arcanum of Stalwart Protector
Shoulder Enchant
Sons of Hodir - You gotta max your reputation with them up to Exalted. You can skip this by going inscription.
Leg Enchants
Physical DPS - Icescale Leg Armor (LW)
Caster- Brilliant SpellThread - Spell Power/Spirit (Tailor).
Sapphire Spellthread - Spell Power/Stam (Tailor)
Tanks - Frosthide Leg Armor (LW)
Other enchants can be found on the guides I linked you above.
Gold Farming
You can easily get gold from Profession.
The easiest way of farming gold during progression are Skinning/Mining as usually encounter nodes and beast along the way.
Transmog- This entails a lot of work and time. You gotta dedicate yourself in farming a specific item at a time and the chances of getting one per run is very low but you can still get it with enough time. You can check it out here.
Pugging - You can make a decent gold by pugging every week and this also entails having a LOT of patience and leadership. You need to set some bars in making one before you do make one and also, please learn the mechanics of all the bosses before you try and make a pug. (By making gold I mean getting a lot of BoE drops from the instance)
The easiest way of getting gold would be crafting BoE gears from profession as you'll get a lot of returns from doing so. There are alot of stuff to do before you are able to make one, however, it doesn't have the risk unlike I said above.
Server Population
The player cap won't be increasing. This is due to how the server would react if there a lot more players in the server which is getting lag spikes, random disconnections and etc etc. We woudn't want that. Right? You can still skip it by donating $10 USD which is pretty cheap to be honest and it's a one-time purchase only. You'll also get coins from it as well that you can exchange to gold.
Common Beliefs
People always think that if you kick someone off RDF you wont yield any Frost. Its not,
You don't receive any EoF when Re-queue for a new member when someone left/kicked. - Its been fixed.
Pugging
Generally, pugging is a way for people who doesn't have the time needed for guild runs or guilds.
Pugging is like a coin toss. Don't expect any PUGs from going far since people who usually join pugs are usually inexperienced or bunch of cucks who likes to troll. Yes, there will be people who'll love to learn and get gears along the way but the number of trolls outweighs it. I highly suggest going for a progressive guild instead of pugging and PUG at YOUR OWN RISK.
