    How is it faulty? It's designed to go fast and be very loud while being very cool. It accomplishes all three of those goals. A design success. But the big test....

    Happy/Hate: Felmyst to 5% last night.

    We haven't even attempted her in weeks. Most of us thought our RL was insane for even staying after we killed Brutallus last night. Eight healers, three priests? Everyone was retarded for about an hour as people slowwwwwly remembered how the boss abilities worked. But then suddenly people stopped being retarded. If one warlock had actually soulshattered or asked for a BoP or something on an earlier p2-p1 transition in which she had more threat than the tank, or if we'd battle rezzed her after she got squished, that 5% would have been 0%, between her DPS and the loss of our second curse for most of the fight.

    Hope: Decent raid for Sunwell tomorrow night. We may actually kill another boss before WLK at this rate?!

    Happiness: The music, sound effects, and ambient noises in WoW. I just love them and often sit in Shattrath just to hear the music. I'm weird whatever.

    Hate: Running Kara with people who think two healers is 'lite' while myself (the lesser healer) doesn't really heal much at all.

    Hope: I get to run Kara again with the same group tomorrow because they were good. Not Beasts good, but good enough for me not to think they all breathe with their mouths and fap while buffing.

    Hate: Solo tanking kara on my warrior (in random kara/badge gear) with 4 of the dps at BT/MH level, 2 healers and no paladins in the raid for salvation. This one warlock died so much he had to hearth to repair before maiden.
    Happy: Was a really quick run (only about 2 hours) and I got Moroes' watch and the epic tank breastplate. Also have 110 or so badges. I was saving up for the badge chest but now I have the kara one and I dunno if I'll be playing him much for a while it feels like a waste. Was thinking about just selling gems. Anyone know which ones usually sell the best?

    Then again, I was outhealing some people in BT on sunday wearing a combination of T2/T3. Guess people just slack off in farm encounters.

    I was only planning on getting the chest so that I would be in all epics (apart from the gun I think, but I've got the one from the raven boss in heroic Sethekk so thats fine). The warrior was just a little fun side project while I wait for wrath and I doubt I'll play him much until I have a 80 something else. I love tanking on him but warrior pvp isn't really my thing (I was playing on a friends warrior who is decently geared and I didn't like it too much). I have my 2 shaman aproaching 60 and a couple epic mounts would be nice (I have been finding an absurd amount of stuff for the AH on them recently though, over the weekend I found 4 BoE blues and 2 BoE epics bringing me to a grand total of 4 BoE epics ever in 2-3 years of playing).

    No typo, I hadn't played since February and managed to get back into raiding with some old friends.

    I think people must have been face rolling on their keyboards or something... against Illidan. They have killed Brutallus a few times so they mus pull there fingers out of their arses when needed.

    EDIT: I was cycling mana pots aswell seen as super mana potions are so damned cheap. Seems crazy not to.

    HATE: We had some people out of guild in our alt BT. One of them basically stole our raidlock and got his guild in, telling them we were done with it and they killed 3 bosses before we ended up getting enough people inside to stop them from going further.

    Happy: though it was no longer a full alt raid, we killed the last three bosses. It went smooth too, we only wiped on Illidan once from a mistake from a main, not an alt / new person! I quit before we killed Illidan and the end of BT so it was cool to see new stuff. Pretty epic.

    Hatex2: All I really wanted was a torch of the damned :x

    Playing on a PvP server, I cant imagine people playing with sound *off.*

    Mixed Happiness and Hate: Brut to a heartbreaking 1% last night. With all the damn turnover we've had in DPS, not bad all in all. The worst is that we were missing a hunter (traveling cross country to settle in at school) who definitely would have made up that difference. :/

    I'll go through lengthy periods with music on or off, but I haven't ever had the actual 'sound' off. I just find there are too many audible cues as to what's going on around me in pve or pvp combat.

    That said, this leads to a newfound hate; bird hunter pets. I finally raided with a hunter that uses a bird last night, and holy shit is that annoying. I wish I could kill or change that exact sound, as it was like it was fucking my ear.

    Also hate; wiping on Felmyst for 3 hours.

    Oh well, we'll get back there this week and hopefully get some time on Mu'ru in some day.

    Happy: The recipe for the destro pots sold for 650g overnight, so now my alt has well over a grand at 68 and maxed out tailoring/enchanting. It's nice to know that normal flying is covered and I have all of SMV/Netherstorm to do at 70. I think I'll get this character an epic flyer since she'll need to do dailys and stuff at 70 for SSO rep anyway.

    I'm no expert on healers, but I know on my hunter, I didn't have even one piece of T2 left at 70. I know T3 was mostly replaced in Kara/Bag/Gruul's.... Isn't that stuff incredibly outdated?
