20. Be nice to players that don't understand and they might be nice to you.
21. Don't be afraid to try new techniques, you might come up with something spectacular (Points at Focusless, Targetless, Leaderless system)
22. Give feedback to mod developers so they can make their mods work great (Salutes Jafula for Jamba)
23. be patient. Questing, leveling, and setting things up takes time; otherwise you'll spend alot of time running back for your corpses.
24. Spend time to make all of your macros work whether you are multiboxing or not (e.g. instead of /cast [target=focustarget] spell, use /cast [target=focustarget,harm][] Spell). You never know when you will want to play the character without multiboxing, or when that character will be the leader and will need to be able to cast spells without a focustarget
25. Do a search on the forum for "latency trick" to set your TCPNoDelay and TcpAckFrequency - this will drop your ping by at least 50% and make it so epic mounts with crusader aura will not break your follow
26. If you plan on PvPing think about how you will manage things like fearbombs when you're creating your team - if you can't manage a fearbomb, then you probably can't really pvp well with your group comp. (ie: 5x undead helps a lot, or 5x shamans with tremor totems, 5x priest with fear ward on themselves, etc).
27. Don't minimize your clone WoW windows. It does NOT speed up your system at all, and it makes switching to that clone take forever. It also causes other random issues. The alternative to this is just making all your clone windows sit "behind" the main one, so it doesn't render them. This is just as fast as having them minimized and switching to them is insanely faster. Maximizer can handle this for you automatically.
28. Buy keyclone - seriously - you're spending $30-$75+/mo on a game, another one time $20 fee is totally worth it, especially considering the program has more features than anything else, way less setup time, saves you countless hours during play, and is VERY well supported here on the forums both by users and keyclone himself. $20 is trivial to pay to save that much time/hassle.
29. Until you're max level, spec everything for DPS - really, you don't need to spec anything as prot or resto or holy or anything else - everything will go faster if you just spec to do as much damage as quickly as possible - questing, instances, etc.
30. Help everyone you pass by on your own faction unless they're extremely rude to you. The more people you help as you're leveling, the more people that will defend you and talk about how cool you are when other people are rude to you.
Still new here but this helped me with making macros..
31. Create a text dump file that is shared across your network. Then dump your macro text into that and save. Open the text dump file on your other computers, copy and paste your new macro(s). Saved me some time.
32. If you want to do gathering professions, use your main toon for them.
33. Take time peroidically to make sure you don't have un-needed quest items or things you need to sell on your clones because they add up fast.
