Simplify Your Settings

Before you start to play, change a few settings that will make your gameplay easier.  Hit the escape key.  This will bring up the game menu.  Go to interface and choose "controls."










Check the box for "auto loot."  That way you don't have to click on every single item to pick it up.  The game does it for you.

Then check the "block guild invites" box.  This will block all the automatic guild messages that fill up your chat and drive you crazy.  You will still get whispers from some people inviting you (if you are not a trial account...trial accounts can't whisper).  These are at least invites from real people and you can answer them.  A guild can give you perks and gives you a chat channel that is not so overloaded as the general one.  However, guilds can get intense, and you might want to wait before joining one.  Your call.  If you do decide to join one, turn guild invites back on or the game will block the invitation.

(Sometimes, if you are not in a guild (and not a trial member), someone will whisper you asking your help in forming a guild.  New guilds need "signatures" from 4 non-affiliated players to form.  Often people asking will tip and it can give you a good boost of cash since game gold is hard to come by in the beginning.  As soon as the guild forms, you can leave it or stay as you wish. Either way you get to keep your "tip.")

I like to add extra action bars right away even though I won't need them for a while.  On the side menu,  choose "action bars" and check them all.  If you don't also check the box to see the empty slots at all times, these boxes for spells and stuff will be invisible but available.  Save this and you're "r" (ready).
