Edit: I ABSOLUTELY HATE that the PVP stuff looks like tier sets. HATE HATE
Yeah, tidewalker is good times. And at least the season 3 stuff is recolored so all those pvp epic guys running around don't look exactly like the guys in raiding epics, unlike Season 2. We've got a rogue in 5/5 T5 (the only Alliance rogue on the server to the best of my knowledge, since we're the only alliance guild that has been able to kill Kael), but there's nothing to distinguish him from any of the dozen other rogues lounging around Ironforge in exactly the same Skeletor outfit.
Hate: Our raids catchall stance on consumables for raids. The general rule is that on any progression content you're expected to be flasked/elixir'd, food buffed, and preferably oiled. This is vehemently supported by one of the raid leaders, a hunter. Who doesn't seem to realise that on a lot of content, the healing flask is not going to help. Tonight we intended to kill Azgalor and work on Archimonde. People didn't turn up so we had six specced healers and one off-spec healing. Before we began this raid leader demanded that everyone flask. Fuck that, I don't need extra regen on Azgalor or his trash. We wiped during the trash, twice, then went to SSC. Neither of these wipes had anything to do with healers running out of mana. Yet afterwards he rattles of a list of everyone flasked followed by "thankyou these people for making us wipe".
It's so retarded to assume that each flask in the raid adds directly to the likelihood of success. I know when I do and do not need extra regen, thankyou very much. Don't bitch at me for not spending money I know is wasted.
The problem is.. if everyone does this, you'll be losing MUCH. And how are you going to tell everyone else "I don't have to flask, but YOU do!"
If people can't accept their own shortcomings -- as proven by hard, statistical facts -- then that's their problem.

Edit: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the PVP stuff looks like tier sets. LOVE LOVE.
Though having said this, I can understand the need for a clear visual distinction between the tiers and season sets. Some of the color choices are odd to say the least.
Take, for example, the Hunter T6 set. Ugly enough on its own merits, Season 3 recolors it to a perfectly shit-toned brown and the stink lines are even more visible on it than on the bloodfang shoulders.
Hate: Getting stomped in ZA even though I vehemently proclaimed we weren't geared.
Happy: In one week I've joined this guild and overtaken the MT as the MT by getting almost completely new gear, raising my HP by ~5000 and armor by ~9000. Yay badges/welfare epics.
As these two sets are going to be the most present and notable sets on any server, they should look different from each other
Agree, the amount of times I run past casual guilds and wonder when they started raiding T5, not that I care about non raiders having good gear for PVP or whatever, just make it look cool in it's own way rather than the CONSTANT lazy re using of item models.
I'm actually slightly surprised they didn't reuse T3 whatsoever. Makes me suspect they planned to re-make Naxx even back at BC launch.
That was my thought as well, even though some of the Dungeon 3 sets slightly mimic the T3 sets in a few ways (ex. Bonescythe -> Assassination). I think I read a blue post somewhere that stated that they'd be bringing back the Naxx gear models when they retool the instance for WotLK.
T3 was so hot, it was the one set that could visually keep up with the beauty of Bloodfang.
I managed to snag... the bracers. I should've had our boots, but we had a policy (that I vehemently opposed) wherein the warriors were the only ones that could bid on T3 until we had 4 warriors with 4 pieces, in order to prepare for the 4 Horsemen.
Did I mention that we never got more than 5 bosses down, and couldn't even GET 4 pieces, far as I recall? (Boots, Bracers and Belt were the only bosses we managed, I believe; spider wing, Raz and ... Noth? The guy that blinked and cursed the whole raid with that 'cleanse or die' bullshit?).
I'm all for preparing for the future, but this was taking foresight to whole new levels well beyond those which we seemed capable of. Heigan annihilated us, Gothik destroyed us, and Patchwerk never went below 20% that I can recall.
Oh, did I mention that we had a game of 'musical chairs' going on with said warriors, wherein between breaks, applicants and people with poor attendance, we probably had twice that many warriors with 1 or 2 pieces, a few with 3, and a bunch of rogues with their thumbs up their asses.
Loved the old guild, was proud of what we accomplished, but this always rankled with me a bit. When things were taking a turn for the worse, the raid leader stated that he didn't give a shit anymore about it (as well as being consistantly afk or off vent for 20-30+ minutes at a time chatting with his girlfriend), though this attitude took a dramatic turn once again when Razuvious dropped his boots, and suddenly it's "warriors only" again.
Also, as proud as I was of the old open auction/bid system he and I worked out over the years, my new guild's 'silent bid, pay 2nd highest +1' system is outstanding.

Kicking on RoS is still pretty damned stressful. "If you fail to land a kick within this 1 second window, we probably start losing people. Do that every 10 seconds for like 2 minutes. Enjoy!"
Mother Shahraz is fun, but wearing full SR makes me feel like I'm hitting her with wet noodles. Given the things she says during the fight, she might enjoy that.
Illidari Council? More kicking or someone gets reamed? Hooray! And by "Hooray" I mean "OH GOD, NO!"
Illidan? Bursts of laying into him and blowing cooldowns, followed by periods of hiding in back, doing as little to draw the other raiders' ire as possible. Easy fight as melee, but hectic and intimidating as hell. Archimonde gives us more trouble, but I was far more concerned on this fight simply by the sheer number of phases it goes through.

Awesome, grats Forar.

I must have it, but I never will.
The first one the guild has seen (they've been killing Illidan for about 2 months, I think) dropped last night, and went for a tidy sum. One warrior, however, paid 3 times as much for his T6 chest. This guy is a beast in any aoe-friendly fights, and is one of the few dps warriors that has ever impressed me by doing actual damage. He's third in line for a set of Warglaives far as I've heard, which means he gets the next MH and has to wait for the third OH (they've got a rogue with a set and another with the MH so far).
Nobody has said as much, but if it's not being too presumptious... I think I'm fourth in line.

Yeah, Naxx was amazing, the fights there we so intricate and crazy beyond anything ever experienced in BWL that is was a total wall for our guild.
We killed Razuvious and Anub, but that's about it. I must say, being a Hemo Rogue in those days was a blast, having Prep meant I was automatically assigned to evasion tank duty on Raz, which is hilarious to do on a boss that will hit you for 75,000 damage if he lands one.
I really miss that place, if it's ever released, I would kill to experience the rest of it.
So yeah, hate: Doing SSC last night because we didn't have the healers for Hyjal, partly because a few people had to work late or whatever, largely because our raid leader fell asleep after work instead of waiting to see if we'd need him. (Also abloo bloo having to work all day and then raid is so hard. None of the rest of us do that, surely! I love the guy but ARGH stuff like that pisses me off.) We didn't wipe in SSC but it was fucking messy (near-wipes at 1% on Tidewalker and Leo because of people being retarded, i.e., three people getting hit by the first whirlwind). And of course my robe didn't drop. The robe off Hydross did, though, and then I had to bicker with this other warlock who though I should have taken it. No sorry I already blew one recent loot cooldown on a sidegrade, not doing it again just yet.

Happy: gaining levels like a sonovabitch in Swamp of Sorrows. Why didn't anyone tell me that place was so damned easy? Gold, greens, and grinding- it's got it all!
Hope: Looking to hit 45 on my Gnome Rogue by the end of the week.
Hate: Playing on a PVP server is taking a toll. I've been dusting off my other chars on Moonglade and Feathermoon just to avoid asshatted Horde who just love nothing more than fucking with Alliance 10-30 levels below them. It fosters nothing but hate within me, and I fear I will be participating in the vicious cycle of violence that is Tarren Mill/Southshore.
Hate: people who can't do what they're fucking told to.
Raidlead: "Don't PvP immediately before raid." "Come to raid with all your reagants." "Make sure you're wearing the correct gear." "Everyone take ten to piss and repair."
Duder McGee: "I only have three shards because I was PvPing. Oh haha I had my riding crop on. Oh man all my gear is red."
Me: "JESUS CHRIST IT'S BEEN THREE PULLS SINCE HE TOLD EVERYONE TO REPAIR"
Raidlead: "Fuck it, drop a bot."
Rest of the raid: "Oh man 20g repair bill"
Me: "HOW IS IT THAT I CAN HAVE A SMOKE TAKE A PISS GRAB A BEER AND REPAIR IN TEN MINUTES AND YOU HAVE 20G BILLS
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE"
Assistant raidlead: "Hey, yelling at other people isn't your job"
Me: "WELL IT FUCKING WELL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NO ONE ELSE SEEMS WILLING SO LIKE"
We need to just boot anybody younger than 19. Just kick them right the fuck out.

How do you rate the T5 robe? I think that is one I have an outside chance of getting (besides the hydross one that I'd be loathe to spend dkp on), and I think I'll put in for them if hero drops tomorrow.
I have a feeling that we're maybe one more run in SSC away from dropping the place from our schedule. The last people who needed their vials got them today (I think), and we're sharding most of the stuff we're getting. Vashj loot that isn't the crit threat trinket or leather healing shoulders, Non-Champion T5, and the Talon of Azshara are basically the only things we're going there for now.
I just wish the caster stuff from TK would drop. Caster cloak from Kael, Wand from Solarian, Cowl from Void Reaver. Or, god help us, a Belt of Blasting pattern.
And lucky you doesn't have to bother with Revered Lower City so you can run Heroic Sethekk. That part was extra amounts of annoying for me, seeing as how I had already head-butted my way to exalted on my mage. And that was just from helping out people who actually needed stuff from exalted LC.
It's a really fun questline actually. If you're Feral and the only druid there when you try and do the last part, you end up being kinda useless (well, the totem activation bitch), but it's not a problem.

This space eventually to be filled with excitement
Well, you're assuming the feral would tanking. I would certainly recommend finding someone else to tank if possible, but it's not strictly needed to use the birds.
I was feral tanking, and then brought in another tank and tried to feral DPS + activate the totems during the fight.
I pretty much just ended up messing with the totems, and occasionally rawr'ing it up. Drop a rank 1 regrowth on them and have at it.
I've never tried it without using the totems, but it really wasn't difficult. Eleventy billion birds are kinda scary at first, but they aren't that bad.

Mm Vashj is Rag 2.0. SSC is too fucking long for us to squeeze into the schedule anymore, like Gruul for DST's, but people still desperately want a few of her items. Probably the same with Kael but at least TK takes half as long as SSC. We still have about six casters who need Solarian's wand (a mage has one, the other went to a fucking shadow priest). We've seen one Cowl of the Grand Engineer, ever. Yet plenty of DPS warrior loot week after week. It's so stupid because it's not as if you can say "it doesn't matter if you never got that wand, there's better in BT" because there ISN'T. I eagerly anticipate Sunwell data mining, though I hope it doesn't come out until we're done with Illidan.
Vashj's robe is much better than Corruptor's but I would take it if you're about to drop SSC/TK because there's really nothing better in BT/Hyjal until Illidan. At this point I'd take it myself because I'm hit capped, but the hit on t5 would let me re-gem some other pieces that have veiled noble topazes at the moment. Plus it's pretty.
They need to fix the fucking caster robe in ZA. The cloth healing robe is the same as priest t5, sockets and everything. The caster robe? A ton of spirit, and no sockets.
I must say, more than the warglaives, more than any other piece of loot in the game, I want, nay, covet, the Cursed Vision of Sargeras.
I must have it, but I never will.
The first one the guild has seen (they've been killing Illidan for about 2 months, I think) dropped last night, and went for a tidy sum. One warrior, however, paid 3 times as much for his T6 chest. This guy is a beast in any aoe-friendly fights, and is one of the few dps warriors that has ever impressed me by doing actual damage. He's third in line for a set of Warglaives far as I've heard, which means he gets the next MH and has to wait for the third OH (they've got a rogue with a set and another with the MH so far).
Nobody has said as much, but if it's not being too presumptious... I think I'm fourth in line.
O.O
Sounds like Illidan's a little generous with the Warglaives for you guys if you've been doing it 2 months and have a pair and a half already.
EDIT: Also, lol @ that person who's screenshot has someone saying "Gotta love these muppets who think they should get enchants free if they supply the mats." Hey, they should, that's why mats cost nothing to put on the AH because that is how you as an enchanter make money, amazing how many people don't figure this shit out.
I am not looking forward to warglaive drama. (Meaning we have always done officer-assigned legendaries. Candidates for warglaives all have serious problems, including one being a selfish twat, one only doing progression raids but rarely showing up for farm content, one prone to reroll on a whim, one prone to "lol quitting WoW cos a girl paid attention to me"...)

Well as the person wanting an enchant, you have the right to refuse to pay for an enchant even with the mats. And as an enchanter the person has a right to refuse enchanting for free.
I get a guild mate to do my enchants, and hopefully they are ones that get her skill ups. When I get a good tanking weapon I might go buy Mongoose, knowing how expensive it can end up being. Both in mats and payment to someone who has spent hours and hundreds of gold on raising a pain in the ass profession. Plus the gold that the consumables would have cost to raid for that enchant.

My whole take is, if I supply the mats and you still charge me, im going to find someone else to do the enchant. I can live without it for the time beaing if it means not having to deal with your bullshit.
Ironically, I tip pretty damn well to anyone who does supply free enchants. Some girl on Ravenholdt enchanted Mongoose for me for free (I supplied mats obviously), I tipped her 20 gold. Second time around she did it for free again, but I tipped her 50 gold.
TLDR: It pays to offer up free enchants for potential return customers.

Vashj's robe isn't even an option for me. Considering how our DKP system works (poorly, but that's really my only gripe about my new guild), I'd have to wait on two shadow priests, three mages (maybe four), and two other warlocks to get it before me. The T5 token, on the other hand, was universally panned by the mages and hunters when it dropped last week, so unless one of them changes their mind, it should get to me if it drops.

It fosters nothing but hate within me, and I fear I will be participating in the vicious cycle of violence that is Tarren Mill/Southshore.
Raidlead: "Don't PvP immediately before raid." "Come to raid with all your reagants." "Make sure you're wearing the correct gear." "Everyone take ten to piss and repair."
Duder McGee: "I only have three shards because I was PvPing. Oh haha I had my riding crop on. Oh man all my gear is red."
Me: "JESUS CHRIST IT'S BEEN THREE PULLS SINCE HE TOLD EVERYONE TO REPAIR"
Raidlead: "Fuck it, drop a bot."
Rest of the raid: "Oh man 20g repair bill"
Me: "HOW IS IT THAT I CAN HAVE A SMOKE TAKE A PISS GRAB A BEER AND REPAIR IN TEN MINUTES AND YOU HAVE 20G BILLS
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE"
Assistant raidlead: "Hey, yelling at other people isn't your job"
Me: "WELL IT FUCKING WELL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND NO ONE ELSE SEEMS WILLING SO LIKE"
We need to just boot anybody younger than 19. Just kick them right the fuck out.

How do you rate the T5 robe? I think that is one I have an outside chance of getting (besides the hydross one that I'd be loathe to spend dkp on), and I think I'll put in for them if hero drops tomorrow.
I have a feeling that we're maybe one more run in SSC away from dropping the place from our schedule. The last people who needed their vials got them today (I think), and we're sharding most of the stuff we're getting. Vashj loot that isn't the crit threat trinket or leather healing shoulders, Non-Champion T5, and the Talon of Azshara are basically the only things we're going there for now.
I just wish the caster stuff from TK would drop. Caster cloak from Kael, Wand from Solarian, Cowl from Void Reaver. Or, god help us, a Belt of Blasting pattern.
And lucky you doesn't have to bother with Revered Lower City so you can run Heroic Sethekk. That part was extra amounts of annoying for me, seeing as how I had already head-butted my way to exalted on my mage. And that was just from helping out people who actually needed stuff from exalted LC.
It's a really fun questline actually. If you're Feral and the only druid there when you try and do the last part, you end up being kinda useless (well, the totem activation bitch), but it's not a problem.
I pretty much just ended up messing with the totems, and occasionally rawr'ing it up. Drop a rank 1 regrowth on them and have at it.
I've never tried it without using the totems, but it really wasn't difficult. Eleventy billion birds are kinda scary at first, but they aren't that bad.
Mm Vashj is Rag 2.0. SSC is too fucking long for us to squeeze into the schedule anymore, like Gruul for DST's, but people still desperately want a few of her items. Probably the same with Kael but at least TK takes half as long as SSC. We still have about six casters who need Solarian's wand (a mage has one, the other went to a fucking shadow priest). We've seen one Cowl of the Grand Engineer, ever. Yet plenty of DPS warrior loot week after week. It's so stupid because it's not as if you can say "it doesn't matter if you never got that wand, there's better in BT" because there ISN'T. I eagerly anticipate Sunwell data mining, though I hope it doesn't come out until we're done with Illidan.
Vashj's robe is much better than Corruptor's but I would take it if you're about to drop SSC/TK because there's really nothing better in BT/Hyjal until Illidan. At this point I'd take it myself because I'm hit capped, but the hit on t5 would let me re-gem some other pieces that have veiled noble topazes at the moment. Plus it's pretty.
They need to fix the fucking caster robe in ZA. The cloth healing robe is the same as priest t5, sockets and everything. The caster robe? A ton of spirit, and no sockets.

Sounds like Illidan's a little generous with the Warglaives for you guys if you've been doing it 2 months and have a pair and a half already.
EDIT: Also, lol @ that person who's screenshot has someone saying "Gotta love these muppets who think they should get enchants free if they supply the mats." Hey, they should, that's why mats cost nothing to put on the AH because that is how you as an enchanter make money, amazing how many people don't figure this shit out.
I think it's mostly courtesy, if I go out of my way to craft something for you, I probably deserve something in return, even if I don't ask for it. I tend to overtip like crazy though (Want 70g? Have 90 for being helpful. No charge? Take 15!)
Leo is a fucking blast to tank as a Paladin.
Well as the person wanting an enchant, you have the right to refuse to pay for an enchant even with the mats. And as an enchanter the person has a right to refuse enchanting for free.
I get a guild mate to do my enchants, and hopefully they are ones that get her skill ups. When I get a good tanking weapon I might go buy Mongoose, knowing how expensive it can end up being. Both in mats and payment to someone who has spent hours and hundreds of gold on raising a pain in the ass profession. Plus the gold that the consumables would have cost to raid for that enchant.
My whole take is, if I supply the mats and you still charge me, im going to find someone else to do the enchant. I can live without it for the time beaing if it means not having to deal with your bullshit.
Ironically, I tip pretty damn well to anyone who does supply free enchants. Some girl on Ravenholdt enchanted Mongoose for me for free (I supplied mats obviously), I tipped her 20 gold. Second time around she did it for free again, but I tipped her 50 gold.
TLDR: It pays to offer up free enchants for potential return customers.
Vashj's robe isn't even an option for me. Considering how our DKP system works (poorly, but that's really my only gripe about my new guild), I'd have to wait on two shadow priests, three mages (maybe four), and two other warlocks to get it before me. The T5 token, on the other hand, was universally panned by the mages and hunters when it dropped last week, so unless one of them changes their mind, it should get to me if it drops.
