Having problems playing in punkbuster enabled games?  Computer slowing down or crashing?  Frame rates getting horrendous?  There is a reason.

Don’t get me wrong, World of Warcraft is a very fun and well written game.  But as with any game, there are issues that could be corrected.  One of these with no easy correction is the ganking of lower level characters by higher level enemy characters in PVP servers.  Most will say that if you join a PVP …
