Open for suggestions!
Whee: got "Gonna go when the volcano blows" done in both 10 and 25 man now. That's so damn random to get as a tank.

Also, five hours per level from 70-80 is fucking bullshit, really.
Well it could be worse like the grind in the 50's in vanilla wow
I think I reached a new level of bordem because I leveled my mage from 70 to 72 just doing dailies
Yeah, it's too quick, it's faster than TBC was. Quest content is the bees knees, and levelling is where you get it in spades. It's the best part of the game.
There's plenty of quests...if you envision doing no Northrend quests and doing all of them as a sliding scale, you hit 80 somewhere around the middle.
Thus, for people who enjoy questing, there's plenty to do after they hit 80, for those who don't enjoy questing, they get to be level 80 and enjoy endgame quicker.
I disagree. I love reading the quests and getting involved in the story in each zone, but I can only commit to doing them while my character progresses as a result. I try to go back and do zones after 80, but the feeling that I'm wasting time diminishes my enjoyment.
...That after doing that bullshit (though I always felt the 40's were way worse because there was very little content per level back then to get you through; going 39-41 in the Badlands on lesser rock elementals sucked) why should we have to do even more of it?
I'd find it alot more fun if levelling via instances alone wasn't terrible xp/hour.
There's a progression that you'd miss out on. And if you did zero quests, and were 80, and went back to Borean Tundra, it would feel too trivial.
There's also no new talents to look forward to etc. Your total scope of progression becomes limited to replaceable gear.
And wow, the content of WoTLK is leaps and bounds beyond the 50s of vanilla WoW. Of course, I'd say that the first time I was doing the 50s in vanilla WoW was also quite fun.
We just ran it without you, both dropped and were sharded
Yeah the old 50's were horrible.
God.
Winterspring Yetis.
CLASSIC.
I only got to play for 1 hour today. Tomorrow? Probably not at all.
But.
At the end of it. I will be able to a totally awesome new computer.
Hate: Room mates who ask me questions during about WoW while playing WoW.
Then I remember that I'm not forced to play it when I get home and omfg why did I just think about staying back at work?! =/
That seriously can't be right.
buy an ocarina! i'll sell you one
Happy: everyone seemed relatively upbeat about coming that close, so hopefully we'll get it next week.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Well yeah. I have a kitty of doom to get mauled by, places to go, LotrO to immerse myself in and endless console games to waste away my time with. I know there's heaps more to do, it's just I've been in the Work -> WoW -> Sleep -> Repeat mindset for almost 3 years. It's hard to get over.
Lulz. Ocarina. No thanks. 7 years of clarinet playing is enough for me.
NAO
On the other hand, I hate Wintergrasp and it has actually shown that the feeling is mutual. I have not received a parachute THREE times in one week when flying over the zone.
:winky:
Annoyed: I really need to go through and update my add-ons. The last time I did that was a couple weeks after getting Wrath.
Frownies: That I didn't pick up healing gear when i was prot...
Hope: Immortal tonight on my priest, then Maly 6 min after *fingers crossed* I -think- we gonna do some whip fests on maly tonight so every gets the Scion achievement, make sure our healers get a crack at it ^^.
Yeah, I've noticed a giant decrease in my desire to run heroics. I mean, I dont mind them...its just I dont care anymore. Would be a nice easy way to farm some badges to get more T7 for my offsets (only have gloves for ret and pants for holy).
Happy: Formed a third kind of random Naxx10 group. The first one I left because of g-drama. Second one was a pug that I put together and never saw again. This one is working on a full clear of everything. 3 of the people there dont really need any gear from 10man...1 of them is a DK alt, and the others are just kind of there. We're going to be downing 4H and S+KT either tonight or Sun.
Hope: Eventually I can find a group to do Maly with. I've only attempted it one time, but that was like 3-4 weeks ago.
Hate: I usually just pug OS, so I really haven't seen a Sarth+1 or anything beyond. Going to need to work on that.
Lots of rep grind can be done via that. Assuming you haven't maxed it via the heroics. You can also see it as an alternate method of gold farming.
Hope: Next week's IDs are loaded with stuff for me to bid on.
Hatex2: My guild is getting burnt out on running Heroics
Hatex3: Greedy Troll boss not dropping my ring!!!
Conflicted happy: I still get invited to pug's often enough to try for the stupid ring that WON'T DROP!!!
I actually have nothing but positive memories of Winterspring yetis, because the first time I did those quests, I was on my druid, a LW/skinner, so those caves were just full of money. Same with my long hours spent grinding and skinning turtles on the beaches of the Hinterlands and Dustwallow. It's odd to think about now, how much you actually had to grind in earlier days because the quests would just dry up and you were still too low level to move to the next zone...
Ooh that's actually what I forgot to mention in the HHH thread re: heroics. They need to change the old faction tabards to work the same as the WLK ones. I mean, I wish I could throw on a Thrallmar tabard and run 80 heroics to get exalted with the Outland dungeon factions I missed out on by rerolling.
Hope: My shaman gets to do alt/pug Naxx25 tonight. Usually it's been a mix of alts, mains who missed the regular guild run for the week, and random pugs. This week the other officers decided we'd do 20-man Naxx on Tuesday and everyone who missed it should show up for alt Naxx to do a second 20-man. But this means a lot less spots for alts, not to mention the poor puggers who go with us every week. Which is going to piss me off a lot if it means I can't go even though I finally have my alt to 80 and did so many alt Naxx runs on my main to help out.
They would have the lower the faction requirement on that. And my inner elitest prick is kinda screaming about it. I did a ton of grinding to get my Consortium/Honor Hold/etc tabards. To see them switch to give away would be kind of annoying.
Sad: I wish I could've kept those cards and give the trinket either to the DK or my already 80 Hunter, but with a bunch of alts coming up and only one character, my mostly retired Druid, having an epic flyer, I need the gold more than a trinket.
I could see it working by setting exalted reps to the account. Get exalted on one character and all of your others get it with them. But I'm guessing it would be a huge PITA on the back end.
That could work pretty brilliantly actually. Gold cost + required rep. The only potential problem I could see might be some of the TBC enchants and twinking. We could solve that by simply lining up all of the people who play twinks and conduct a proper decimation on them. And inform them that if we see any more twinking....we'll do it again. And again.
