For all you new guys, here's how it works:
You post a hate, a happy, or a hope about whatever.
FOR EXAMPLE
Happy: Paladins are finally a veritable force.
Hate: The bitching about Ret paladins
Hope: We don't get nerfed into the ground because of the idiots.
Munkus Beaver on
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Happy: WoW's been fun to roll with so far, and I've been learning a lot about how to play a warrior WELL thanks to a couple of good friends.
Hate: The upper 30's have turned into a bit of a sluggish crawl for levelling, and because all my friends work overnights I've got nobody to quest with in the afternoon/evenings.
Hope: I'd like for version 3.0 to drop on Tuesday; respeccing my warrior to Fury seems like it'll add a bit more fun and ease of levelling - if dual-speccing works like I imagine, going Prot for that will make me viable as DPS and tanking.
Hate: Hunter in a group pissing and moaning because I (warrior tank) beat his roll for Str and Damage Proc sword. Lowest common denominator in pugs, ugh.
Hope: Ret pallies die in a holy fire soon. You know, paladins shouldn't even be able to wield 2 handers.
Good Arthas disagrees. Bad Arthas also thinks ret pallys should be nerfed.

Happy: cleared ZA (3 chests) and Karazhan in the same night with my hunter. Only snagged one upgrade (have I mentioned my hatred of the RNG lately?), but 35 badges in two quick instance clears is pretty damn good.
Hate: WoW's RNG.
Hope: I get to do that again next weekend so I can buy the crossbow. It's like you're holding a neon peacock in hand, but a giant upgrade is a giant upgrade. One one hand, it'll be replaced soon enough in WLK I'm sure, but on the other, it'll make levelling that much smoother.
Whores: .... sure, I'm not doing anything later. Let's roll.
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Happy: Levelling a shaman. Why didn't I do this sooner? This class is awesome. Windfury, Water breathing/walking, 15 minute hearth, self rez, instant ghost wolf. This is the most fun/convenient thing ever.
50+ players all doing a keep seige in Avelorn and COMPLETELY FAILING AT TAKING THE FUCKING KEEP because none of the tanks know how to do their job.
"Yes, let's all stand back here and jerk off to the sounds of our comrades being horribly incinerated and impaled as they try rushing up the ramp. Jolly good show!"
Happy: I am currently watching my pally tank friend pretty much solo Ony on the PTR. We were bored so we decided to see if we could duo her. So I brought my lock and he brought his pally. I died since I pulled aggro. We are going to try again when he finally dies.
Ha... we have a 13yr old british kid in our guild. I call him Harry Potter.
He dislikes it.

Hate: Female dwarf faces in WAR. Some of them aren't HORRIBLE but none of them are particularly nice. And now I am more bitter about it after encountering this NPC:
I have a zealot (who is surely not in TSM anymore because I haven't logged on her in like two weeks) but I'm in a dwarf mood from the awesome ironbreaker screenshots in the screenshot thread.
Hate: The Shadow Warrior seems to suck at low levels. Maybe it's just the fact that the quests are boring.
Happiness: My Magus looks amazing and I love it.
Hoping: That the money I spent on WAR yesterday turns into a good investment. Hurrah for my two days off comign up!

/snip
She has a pretty face, why can't I use that one?
You totally can. It's the same face my engineer has.
Scroll through the dwarf female faces until you get the one with the mole on the chin. That face is two more faces to the right. It's my favorite and one of the only dwarf female faces that looks any good.
Oh yes, and
Hate: Schoolwork. I don't want to be working on projects!
Hope: I can get to T3 before it's a wasteland.
Happy: Finally found a class I can love.

Hate: mouthbreathing lowbies. Why, when we have 2 mages in party, are there no mobs sheeped, 3 beating on me (the tank) and another 3 beating on the healer and each of the mages? DPS the skull for fuck's sake! And I'm sure your 'click random talents' spec works fantastically, but let's not spam arcane missiles and then AOE the last mob of every pull until we're out of mana, k? Great.
Ah, yeah, forgot my happy: I wrote my first addon. It's displaying your TPS on your current target (getting the value from Threat-2.0). I know that's already included in Omen but I'm just getting used to this stuff, ok?
Edit: Eh, am I blind or did the UI thread disappear/got pruned? I've got a few question for those addon savvy folks.

The one I mentioned is definitely it. I stared at it for a total of 20+ levels so I know it well :P It's the only one with blush. It just looks a little different in that screenshot because the NPC is using one of the darker skintones you don't see too many people sporting.
Happy^2: I've had a RIDICULOUS amount of luck running Scarlet Monastary in respect to drops. The tabard dropped the first time we ran through the Armory, and I picked up a majority of the armor set, except for the chest plate and the leggings.
The second time we ran through, the chest plate dropped for me, as well as Whitemane's Chapeau which is useless to me for anything practical, but it looks awesome, and that's really all I want.
The third time we ran, the leggings dropped, as well as another couple pieces of the Scarlet armor set, which I was able to throw up onto the Auction House.
Feverishly Hope: My luck holds out when I start moving up to harder instances.
Hate: People want to group for things, then get pissy when they realize I'm in the same level range they are. I'm sorry I'm not some level 70 slumming for four or five gold a shot to walk some people through a dungeon and kill things for them.
This crap is gonna stop when I hit the Outlands, right?

Happy: doing things in WoW:
Two nights, two bosses, a bunch of titles.
Hate:Ony deep breaths more?
She can't kill me!
If he looks like he sounds, then he looks like a cross between:
and
Oh and he's 13 and British, so his voice has yet to break.
Ughhhhh
He dislikes it.
Hate: Mouse clicks didn't register so I got money instead of awesome set piece boots.
Hope: I can get my renown up a bunch soon because it is hella anemic.

And play Destruction, riz. Play it, damn you.
Though if you guys are on and need something, just AIM me up.
Are you fucking retarded? 2Hs are iconic for Warcraft Paladins.

That's about as accurate as saying Rogues shouldn't even be able to wield daggers.
Or X class using Y item.
Le sigh.
.... wait, I don't think I'm doing this right.
But seriously, rogues should be able to use 1 handed axes. It'd be awesome.

Hate pt2 - Me face pulling a mob due to lagging servers.
Happiness - Not dying from said face pull and being able to trap/pet/pew pew until rest of group gets out of the lag as well.
Hope - I have the attention span to do a two week stint in the Isle of Free Gold to do dailies to re-make all the gold I spent on fucking gems.
Really? None of them seem to look like that when I scroll through the character creation.
Rogues can wield swords, daggers, and maces skilfully enough to mutilate, disfigure, and control their opponent
give them an axe and its like duh which end is the hurty end

i lag during the first turn in, and i ask them to redo the second one because they went too fast
instead they don't, and then they all yell at me when we get to the third boss because they don't wanna go again
so their healer leaves and they wipe
i hope their houses burn down and they get butt cancer and oh no i'm now just as bad as them
rageeee
