If a rogue complains about a DK being OP- does anyone listen?
-Yoyao, E-mail, 12/09/2008
As we enter Arena Season 5, I suspected I might get a PvP question. Yoyao has delivered. I sometimes ponder what would happen if I could somehow convince people that it is Robot Season Omega Z. Would I get robot questions? How awesome would that be?
Anyway, the short answer is yes. Some people listen when rogues complain about Death Knights. But… why? (more…)

Ok, I have a serious question:Algorithm, why do people keep sending me tells asking me to heal?
-Morrign, Forum, 11/21/2008
Well, there are two reasons people are asking you to heal.
- You are being asked to heal, because healers are required for 5 man instances and they are hard to find.
- People are out to get you, and don’t like you. We like watching you suffer. It’s just that simple.
Healer Shortage
I like math. I’m glad you asked a question where I can use numbers! Unfortunately, when I put on my math hat (+150 math power), it’s time to get SUPER SERIOUS.

Dear AskAlgorithm:
I find that I am slightly disappointed with the Northrend continent. I expected a lot more “frozen tundra, arctic excursion” type zones, and instead I’m given a desert wasteland, and hot springs in Borean Tundra, and a pleasant meadow with a little bit of snow in Howling Fjord.
Do you think there is a greenhouse gas problem going on? Have the gnomes finally gone too far and are causing global warming?
-Choada, Forum, 11/21/2008
First of all, the very idea that gnomes could EVER go too far is preposterous. Absolutely ridiculous. If anything, the gnomes haven’t gone far enough with their mechanical pursuits! Technology can help the environment. Look at Hybrid cars!
For Every Season: Turn, Turn, Turn
Azeroth’s temperature (apparently) doesn’t seem to change drastically over the course of the year. You’ll notice that Azshara continues its 24/7 display of fall foliage with no sign of winter. Stranglethorn Vale contains, year round, the highest ball-sweat-per-capita. The trolls are oh-so-very proud.

Maybe just a rando question but!
Are there any other possible hero classes?-Tragik, Forum, 11/20/2008:
In today’s sultry AskAlgorithm, we provide a quick answer first (a quickie), and then allow you to enjoy a lengthy back massage of humor (a longie).
Quickie
- Yes, there are possible hero classes coming up
- No, nobody knows what they are (except ceiling cat, and he’ll never tell)
Longie
Now, lay face down, try to relax; I guarantee your muscles will feel great tomorrow morning. The safe word is “Gurubashi”
