Nerfs and hotfixes seem to have played a bigger than usual part in this tier's progress. xenophics takes a look on the two and reflects on how they affect the progress guilds make on hardest of the hard bosses. Are nerfs and hotfixes actually always useful, and should the bosses be rather killed in the "clean way", or is it more interesting to see an innovative way to solve the problems guilds are fighting with?

Ets, the new kid on the block
When Paragon recently announced their switch from 25 to 10 man, only one of the newer recruits received a spot in the new small roster. His name is Ets and he is playing a Resto Druid in the guild. I sat down with him to get a small insight on the person behind Ets and the start for Paragon into Mists of Pandaria.

xenophics to study in South Korea
Life is truly a mysterious thing, it takes you to places you couldn't even have dreamed of. My next big adventure will be my 10+ months study time in Seoul National University of Science and Technology in South Korea, which means I'll be unable to raid in Paragon for that time period.

A new FL boost run winner and an interview
The competition for the second run in Firelands ended yesterday and we have now picked the winner and contacted him. Congratulations! We'd like to thank everyone who participated in giving us speed run tips, there were many funny and insightful comments.
Still, some comments gave us the feeling that some people hadn't watched the run at all! Some suggested that after Morchok and some other bosses we should have had a guy running to the next boss and summon. We actually did that, as well as other things like potting for trash.

Symbiosis and raid balance
The point of this blog post is to reflect on the consequences of Symbiosis in the 25-man raiding scene, not to whine about Blizzard's not yet finished decisions. As said, a lot of this probably will be changed when MoP hits live servers, but it's important to recognize the problems (and advantages) of the situation already.

xeno's LFR frustration - should different player bases get mixed?
I'll start this blog by stating that this is purely my own opinion as a long time player in a high end raiding guild. I'm not trying to offer the view of Paragon or "all high end raiders", just talk about the observations I've made about myself when playing with people who have different attitude towards playing this game. Read: when I accidentally did a couple of pug runs.
