Over at WoW Insider, they've got an interesting breakfast topic that deserves to be talked about: farming. Specifically, how to make the whole monotonous process of farming fun, at least on Blizzard's servers.

They mention a couple of useful things, including farming as a group and using area of effect spells and healing to speed things up. They also advocate setting up some good tunes for the long grind and talking to people while you're smacking things into a bloody pulp (or looting said bloody pulps).

Personally, nothing's more fun than a frost mage gone wild in the plaguelands. Just tap an ice shield, pull the entire cemetery, throw a frost nova, and spam ice spells till everything croaks. It's efficient, and newbies will always know to stay away from the scary mage taking on 30 skellies by his lonesome.
