*Finally getting the figurine of the colossus from a SH run
*Having our guild's shadow priest cajole, threaten, and beg enough people to take me on a quick mech run just to get one badge of justice, so I can get the libram of +block rating

Discovering something new on an alt that you somehow missed on your other various characters. (Like when I got exp for discovering the blasted lands 6 months after I hit 60 on my main.)
I have been playing since Closed Beta started and almost always played Horde. 3 of my 4 lvl 60's are Horde. I have countless alts that have run through Durotar.
But I never knew about this fucker here, just west of the Orgrimmar entrance. I only spotted him recently when whacking boars with a new weapon.
Rhinag, who gives a quest for lvl9's. Funny how I always thought Durotar lacked lvl8-10 quests.
What the hell, I've NEVER seen him before... And I thought I knew Durotar like my own pockets, damn! And yup, I've been playing WoW since the closed beta aswell
Being a Resto Shaman and being able to solo-heal Heroics. All the while picking up misc. gear I could use for Elemental or Enhancement one day. Yep, 7 epic pieces added to my Elemental farming set.
I noticed your Resto Shaman is an engineer. I was thinking about leveling a shaman myself and was considering being an engineer as well. How's engineering for Shamans?
It's fun for PvP. It's kinda cool to help gear up our Hunters with scopes. But I'm stuck at 370/375 Engineering right now. Anyways, happy stuff...
I got my little sister her own account a few months ago. She was lv 27 on Saturday (BE Paladin) so I cleared Thousand Needles and most of Ashenvale with her on my 26 Hunter. She hit lv 30 and I hit 29 after a 12 hour marathon on Sunday.
Another cool thing is a good friend of mine recently graduated and decided to hit up WoW as he looks for a job. My enjoyment with WoW went up helping my little sister on her character and with an friend joining up, my enthusiasm is just as it was when I first started. So awesome.
Well, I'm the glass half empty type of person, and whenever the guild seems to lose focus and want to try something that's a bit out of our league (in my mind), I'm always the one voicing caution. Even though we have two teams clearing Prince for the past two weeks (Illhoof down for one, none for Netherspite, and unable to summon Nightbane yet), I wasn't very confident in trying Gruul's Lair since a handful of important people are absent this week (for example, we only had one mage available), and it's the first time we raided anything larger than 10 men since BWL 6 months ago, not to mention we just had a huge influx of new people that have seen very little of Karazhan.
Anyway, they surprised me by downing Maulgar on our very first venture into Gruul's Lair last night. And even more surprising was that even though I suggested an officer roll for the T4 shoulders that dropped (both were for Paladin/Rogue/Shaman, and since it's our first DKP event, we all agreed that we'd give officer priority), I was unanimously voted to receive one of them. It was really unexpected. As I truthfully told one of the higher up's that was present, I wasn't aware that I was so highly regarded among my peers. So it was one of the nicest things done for me in this game, I was really flattered.
The only real priority anyone in my guild gets is our MT for tanking gear. He has near perfect raid attendance, he actually bothers to load up on consumables before we run practically anything, and honestly what benefits him benefits us. Plus, sometimes I have trouble making my 20g repair bill, I sort of feel bad for our tanks.
Beyond that, a lot of us will pass on something if it's a bigger upgrade for someone else, but that's hardly a rule.
Edit: Taking a new pally to Kara with us for the first time, and what must have been his first time past Attuman, last night. Him turning out to be an excellent healer. Every single boss all the way up to Aran dropping at least one upgrade of some form for him.
I can't imagine how anyone would justify loot going to officers before non-officers. Ever.
Well, I'm not going to defend myself, because if my peers, who I've been playing with for almost a year, thought I was deserving enough to pass it to me out right, then I guess I must've been doing something right.
As for the practice itself. First of all, officers are expected to attend raid as much as possible (of course there are always exceptions), so the idea is that whoever has the better attendence, will earn the most DKP (where it's involved), and therefore any gears they receive will be utilized to their fullest, thus benefit the guild as a result. Second, it has always been done this way. With all things being equal in terms of DKP, officer have the chance to step in and distribute the loot (usually involving tiered pieces) that pertains to his/her class (or it will just simply be determined by /roll). We believe that the people we have put into these positions are knowledgable enough so they can ensure gears go to those that needed and can make the best use of them. Lastly, of the people there last night that could actually have used it, there were 2 Paladins (both were officers), 4 Shamans (2 officers, and the other 2 came late to raid, so their DKP earned would have been less than everyone else that was on time anyway), and 2 Rogues (1 officer).

My little sister and I started playing a bit too, now that she's home from college and has a bit more time on her hands. We don't play often, only about an hour or so each time we log on, but it's a ton of fun every time. The last time we played we ended up spending a good 15 minutes screwing around with the chickens in that 5-10 draenei starting area, laughing our asses off at the dialogue between cookie and the captain when we first saw it. Like you, I feel like I just started the game all over again, it's great.
Those nerve wracking 5-man group runs, where you are just on the edge of wiping like the whole time but manage to pull it off.
Last night, got a BM run going to get more people keyed. The whole run was just insane, we weren't downing the dragons fast enough, so portals were openening before we even had a chance to kill the previous dragon. So we are constantly running, drinking when possible, it's mayhem. The first boss we take down pretty easily.
On the second boss, lost our warlock in the first 15 seconds of the fight, then at 10% we lost our MT, and I ended up being able to evasion tank him for that last 10%. By the time our MT had run back, the next portal had opened and he ran right up to tank it.
Final boss was fun too, there were a couple "Oh shit, the MT is @ 10% health" but our pally healer pulled through and kept him alive. We were able to bring him down.
The whole run was just insane, I don't think there was more than 5 seconds in vent where someone wasn't talking, there was just too much going on. After the fact, everyone was just like "Wow, that was fucking awesome" because we really did barely get through it, but we did, and we did it our first time. It was quite a rush and I have to say some of most fun i've ever had in a 5-man.

I had stopped playing on Ravenholdt because I decided I wanted to concentrate more on the characters I played with my wife, then my brother and my mother started playing on that server also. A couple of nights ago the 4 of us ran Scarlet Monastery. The only thing I have done before that, that I enjoyed as much was running BFD with you, your sister and others from FLP.
Yah, she saw it as a way to spend time with my wife and I, originally she was playing on my brothers account. But then she bought her own copy of TBC and rerolled. She did a decent job of healing.
Very different for her then when she would spend hours mastering Dr Mario on our old NES.
Hah. Somewhere back near release on my second character I had a questing buddy for Arathi. We were trying to kill Fozruk, but couldn't take him with just the two of us.
My second guild had a guy who went by the name "Yordad" turns out he had two daughters who were also in the guild. I think one was in her 20s and the other was in high school.
Our former maintank was the father of two with a wife that would watch him raid.
She made constant comments (that we could hear over vent) about him getting his "codpiece of Wrath".
So we, being assholes, would joke about and offer to hit on his two daughters. Apparently one was home from college and asked about "Braun" while sitting around the dinner table, I really do wish I took a screenshot of his reaction when he logged on that night.
Turns out he'll be in my neck of the woods this fall and has offered to buy me a beer, but declined to sell me his women. -shrug-

Picking up One of these and getting a Spellpower enchant on it for only 20g(I offered up my Shards and half the Planar Essence, so I only payed 5g per GPE).
I knew there was a reason I wanted to hop off my Warrior alt for the night and head over to my mage...
I'm sitting trying to wrangle Aether Rays on my Rogue. I get three of them and start working on a fourth. I happen to tag the Ray with my throwing knife just as an Undead Warrior swoops in on his netherdrake. The Warrior feels slighted and of course executes the Ray just as I start to wrangle it.
I get annoyed and follow him a minute, "helping" him fend off the vicious neutral rays he comes across. After three rays, he begins to get the hint and mounts up to go elsewhere. He gets on his drake, flies straight up, and gets hit by one of the dragons flying around for a couple thousand damage. The fireball dismounts him and he falls.
He dies from the fall damage and I am overjoyed.
I'm shocked that people don't quite seem to get that if you kill a ray someone else is wrangling, they can simply do the same to you to get you back.

I can't imagine how anyone would justify loot going to officers before non-officers. Ever.
With the exception of MT's, officers have no mystical "first dibs" on any gear. Some of the shit that people seem to think is okay behavior from officers on this board just boggles my mind. Like officers getting into any raid they want at anytime they want. WTF? Rotate people in. And sometimes, gasp, you sit to let others in your spot.
If an officer thinks that being an officer grants any privilage beyond O-chat, then you're going to have massive drama down the road. Officers who think that being an officer makes them better, or grants privilages will run a class or guild into the ground. And I say this as an officer in the guild I'm in. I watched our former priest CL pull all of that type of shit. And I watched us bleed good priests. I watched raids being called because we couldn't get four priests let alone five priests, let alone good priests for Naxx raids.

That was ridiculously amazing. Especially the Evasion tanking. And Barfoorg on the adds. And Areyu's heals. And Suphie's ability to switch between DPSing elites and adds. And... fuck that was awesome.
Discovering the joys of both Huntering (Yes, I'll say it. PEW PEW!!) with engineering (Again..BOOM BOOM) as well as the awesomeness of Magicrosity...Frost, boom, boom, boom, repeat.
Also being in a group last night in Westfall. Three level 10 mages that had no business being in westfall, except for the love that is triple Arcane Missiles.
I think I spoiled myself the other day. One of our rogues (my roommate) brought up a Resto Shammy to play as his new main, so we ran him through BM to get him attuned for Kara. Every single one of us was completely decked in purples, head to toe, except for him, in whatever +healing blues he could get his hands on by that point. We rolled through the portals so fast I didn't know what to do with myself. He barely had to heal the Drood MT, so he was understandably bored.... Ahhh, good times.
Armor just crashed my browser. Firefox on linux is such shit.
edit: Upgrades are based on the item mostly. They just give similar items as suggestions. So, an upgrade for a healing neck would just be other healing necks.

The new "Find an upgrade" function is made of awesome and win.
I'm morbidly curious to see if the suggested upgrades are based in anyway on the class (and spec). I'll have to check it out when I get home.
It will search based on class and role, but it doesn't seem to be actually working at the moment. It offered healing cloth when I asked it to upgrade my hunter gear with Kara epics.
Heh. The first 5 upgrades it suggested for me Min levels 33 - 35 while I'm a 31. Numbers six and seven drop off bosses in instances that I can't run. hehe
Still, that is an awesome concept they have there.

Armory crashes my firefox pretty often, as well, and I'm running it on XP.
Also, as Shadowane said, the gear is compared by stats/slot. It's shown me some fine leather pieces to replace my mail pieces. Some of them are actually so nice, that if they drop, I'll fight my guild rogues for them.
Ah okay, I was wondering if it'd try to suggest healing plate (ie boots of valiance) as "upgrades" to my tanking gear.
It's nice in that it won't suggest that a Mage grab a 2-handed mace with more stamina because his 1-handed sword has some stamina on it, but it's a bit inaccurate in that it won't tell you what +defense gear would be nice to replace that +Agility unless it had dodge on there too.

Too bad we don't have it on the european Amory yet.

One time I was running deadmines with a hunter who was pretty annoying, kept linking her gear, asking what we were wearing, jumping up and down, and generally driving me nuts. I'm just about to say something nasty when the tank whispers me and says "I'm sorry she's annoying but she's my daughter and she's nine" and suddenly my perception of her does a bit flip. This kid might have been irritating, but she could play her class! She managed aggro far better that I did at that point, worked with the rest of the group, and generally made me weep for all the people three and four times her age who hadn't figured out how to freaking pull a mob.
In summary, there's something ineffably cool about families playing WoW together.
