    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?
