The most deadly enemy in the game.

If you were to ask most players what the most dangerous thing in the game of WOW is, they may say the Lynch King, Death Wing, or the Sha of Fear. I doubt very highly that anyone would say; a basic campfire. Yet every year millions of players just like you fall pray to that most deadly of enemies; the basic campfire. Okay, so distraction and lack of concentration are the true dangers. Truth is we are often our own worst enemy. More then once I've had to corpse run back to my body because I had to answer the phone, go to the bathroom, or make that all important cup of coffee that led me right back into the bathroom again. Over the life time of the game distraction has probably killed just as many players as any boss. My advice to avoid your untimely all be it hilarious death is the same as you would follow when driving. Be careful where you park. If you have to walk away from the game make sure you leave yourself some place where your not taking damage (Standing on/in or too close to a basic camp fire) or where enemies are likely to spawn and attack you. Similar without actually being the same thing; is not paying attention to the warnings and meters that the game gives us, such as the breath or fatigue bars. So many players have gotten themselves killed by not paying attention to these amazingly obvious warning signs because we were too wrapped up in what we were doing to not die. I have accidently drowned my paladin more times then I want to admit to because I was trying to mine mythril and wasn't paying any attention to the bar. Sadly as this is a fairly simple mistake to avoid (come up to the surface before the bar runs out) the only advice I can offer on this point is just never admit to others when you do it.

Anyone who has ever said ADD can't kill has obviously never been too distracted by cartoons to move their character to a safer location.
So remember we're all noobs, some of us just fly the flag a little higher.
