A perk of patch 6.0 is the new character models. Currently all models are already redone (except panda, worgen, goblin), though Blood Elve models are still being developed.
A new service Blizzard created, is the
Boosted character service. This service will boost your character of any level up to level 90 and given level appropriate gear, so you can jump into the action.
Players who preordered Warlords of Draenor will be be given one free character boost to instantly level a character up to 90
Also new to World of Warcraft are character delete undo service, where players who have deleted a character above level 40 can undo the deletion.

I dont know what youre talking about, MC was a fantastic background program.
Generally "what a drag" is the general theme of all the Vanilla raids. ZG was probably the least boring bullshitish, but it still was a stupid painful meatgrinder.

Does it convert to spell hit or some such, I feel like I'm missing something.
BWL was significantly better.
I still don't have the monkey or the Tanaris one, although I may have accidentally captured the Northrend one. That's the fox, right?
I really, really dislike the really rare ones, like the Unborn Valkyrie, or the Felwood one.

Dear Satan.....
I don't suppose there's much of use to do pre-patch (whenever that is), other than figure out which class I'll want to use my 90 boost on and get them to at least 60, yeah?
Counting card game mounts it's over 300 I think
Hah, you should see the total number of battle pets when WoD launches. There are over 600 at this point.
Still need to get the last warbringer Dino mount (jade) too

Yeah, MC was wicked fun.
MC was boring because at the time, Blizzard had no idea what players were capable off, nor did the players really. Addons trivialized the only hard part until Majordomo (the decursing). It looked ugly too, and had only a few new enemy models. The bosses included 'Giant Naga (x3), Giant Corehound, Giant Elemental x2, Giant Molten Giant.'
BWL was already a lot better in enemy and boss design, though not yet in dungeon design, but the fact that the first and second boss are the most difficult until Nef was a real bummer, it was just a trainwreck to see guilds forever not beat those two.
ZG was an eye opener, it had atmosphere, every boss was a mini zone with themed enemies.
AQ20 was easy but bland and grindy, it took a lot of killing of stuff to get things done.
AQ40 was real rough with boss design, and all bugs all the time is pretty boring. And Blizzard did the hilariously overtune thing which is just a grave sin.
Naxx looked great but was real uneven in boss difficulty, and atrocious in requirements on raid composition. Hi guys you need 6-8 tank specced warriors for the best strat on this boss! And they best be geared too.
Early TBC was a mess though. Crazy attunements, bad balancing between bosses (Even some early kara fights were pretty rough in the first 2-3 months, I think they nerfed Romeo & Juliet in 3 consecutive patches).
BT was probably the best raid of the early years. It put individual player ability at the forefront in a lot of fights without being very punishing, it was varied.
Sunwell was just a strain on everything. So closely tuned, so many 1 fault raidwipes, it went well past fun for me. My guild got M'uru but it was just grueling, and I the amount of burnout and bitterness it created was unparalled.
Then early WotLK came and it was just a mockery. So insanely easy that I quit instead of wait for new content. (I know the drake challenge existed but that was not enough for me)
Also on the subject of the emerald drake and bronze whelp, I say it's about damn time. I've been questioning the lack of emerald drake since Wrath. I mean you can ride one in Oculus! Granted I have about 130 mounts so I won't be getting it any time soon. Although there are a number of reps I could probably start working on, like Kurenai (which I should grind anyway to get dust since after the server-wide Halaa battle last month I'm rolling in tokens) and Argent Tournament.

Is that for real?
Will I finally be able to get those damn mounts without the most idiotic grinding ever?

I'm at work and can't open that link. What's it about?
It's a garrison quest that rewards Halaa pvp currency.
I've been doing the dailies but am finding it impossible to solo the 5 man for another 3 tokens without punching my computer. I can either be stunned for 99 percent of the time or spend 99 percent of the time running to a new wolf.
It also rewards the research tokens, so doing the mission will let you buy one of the mounts. Even if it's limited to a one-time thing, that's half the grind, and you could always just hope for that mission again on an alt.
I could handle people who aren't good at the game I can handle people to lazy/tight arsed to get any gems/chants whatsoever...but man the amount of people queing as roles they have no intention of filling and the sheer vitriol on display is amazing, If I only had time close to the reset for LFR it'd be enough to drive me from the game.
Sunday/Monday runs are the worst.
This isn't a solely WoW problem, it's every game that has a weekly reset on currencies and loot. XIV is just as bad.

I've got all the mounts from that, so it's nice to not worry about them.
I'd like the tabard on all my characters for the teleport, but not enough to actually run it on characters who haven't yet.

Eh, I still wanted to grind up Kurenai rep for another Exalted one, and like I said I already have 200 PvP tokens from a server event so that's not an issue. I also don't see a reason to wait until WoD when I can do it now. Not gonna take that long considering I can mow through ogres with my DK.
