Last updated: September 2026
Welcome to my personal gaming journal. I am Chris Holland, an independent gaming writer and long-time MMO theorycrafter.
I founded this website to deliver straightforward, high-level analysis, raid guides, and progression strategies for titles like World of Warcraft: Forever and Destiny 2. Maintaining transparency and trust with my readers is my highest priority. This page outlines my testing standards, editorial principles, and commercial disclosures.
1. Editorial Independence & Philosophy
Every guide, walkthrough, and analysis published here reflects my honest, independent perspective as an active player.
- Unfiltered Opinions: My thoughts on game balance, patch updates, and class metas cannot be purchased or influenced by publishers, studios, or third-party agencies.
- Player-First Focus: If a class balance patch falls short or a game system feels overly punishing, I call it out directly. My loyalty lies with the gaming community and my readers.
2. Hands-On Testing & Sourcing Methodology
I do not write speculative guides based on second-hand information. Every strategy published under my name goes through rigorous in-game verification:
- Direct Gameplay: Leveling routes, talent setups, and raid mechanics are tested in live beta environments, PTRs, and active servers.
- Data-Driven Analysis: Build calculations, stat priorities, and DPS rotations are verified against combat logs and community theorycrafting tools.
- Original Documentation: Walkthroughs and tactical tips are accompanied by original notes, route maps, and first-hand observations.
3. Commercial & Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)
To keep this blog independent, free of paywalls, and self-sustained, I occasionally participate in affiliate programs, sponsorships, and commercial partnerships.
- Partner Links: Certain links on this site to third-party gaming services, accessories, digital tools, or in-game assistance platforms may be affiliate or referral links.
- Zero Added Cost to You: If you click one of these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small referral commission at no additional cost to you.
- Strict Quality Vetting: I never recommend or link to third-party services, tools, or progression partners that I have not personally reviewed, researched, or verified for safety, reliability, and security.
- Editorial Separation: Affiliate partnerships never dictate my rankings, guide conclusions, or gameplay assessments.
4. AI & Original Content Policy
While modern research and formatting tools assist in organizing data, all core gaming strategies, conclusions, and mechanics published on this site are written, reviewed, and finalized by me personally. I do not publish auto-generated, unverified content or mass-produced SEO filler.
5. Corrections & Update Frequency
MMOs evolve rapidly with hotfixes, seasonal resets, and sudden balance adjustments.
- Keeping Guides Current: I routinely revisit published guides to adjust talent trees, zone paths, and gearing recommendations following official game patches.
- Community Feedback: If you notice an outdated talent choice, a broken quest route, or a factual inaccuracy, please let me know. Corrections are implemented promptly with revision timestamps.
6. Contact & Feedback
If you have questions regarding my editorial standards, wish to suggest a guide topic, or want to report an inaccuracy, you can reach me directly through my Contact Page or via email at contact@plantbased-pixie.com.
Thank you for supporting independent MMO journalism.
