Ideas and Reflection

So me and my partner in crime have an alt bank, where we put all our farming mats etcetera.
What I get is, we both do farm a fair bit, hes like the farmer in the dell,
totally on top of it, and I'm like strawberry shortcake, farm when I can,
our r/l depicts who has more time to do so..
So with that said:
I've been thinking maybe I'm not pulling my weight enough in this adventure and I really hate being reliant on someone else or them thinking
I'm just using them up.. yanno!
I recently levelled my Shammy's engineering, to make his hunter bullets/arrows which was the only reason I chose that profession, I'm sure it has advantages somewhere but not my motivvation at all.
"We like to be as self sufficent in this game as possible"
However he helped me with ore by mining half of what I needed, then also gathered mats so I could make my epic flying machine - "yuh hes a sweetie"
But as much as I loved that and appreciated the help, and I really do, I feel like
I'm not doing enough and taking advantage of him =[
i listened to him in vent and hes always doing shit for other people, giving up his hard farmed mats and all his work for others who honestly do absolutely nothing for him at all.. Sometime it feels like thats all we have friends who need us for stuff all the time..
But listening to that made me feel very hypocritical and sad..
Because I realised that not only what I percieve to be friends, in essence really aren't, they are just people who need you for this time in their lives!
anyhoot, meh, I'm all irritated and stressy anyways so much going on lately, but I think its time i started not having him help me with stuff anymore its the only smart decision I can think of that not only will make me feel a little more useful but less of a burden and most certainly not thrown in the same bag as some of the other people who are always asking can I have/do you have to him!
Ponders!!

Helpful Love

So I'm leveling my 2nd Shaman right now..
The first one I leveled was on Alliance "Draenai" obviously - She was Enhancement and I loved it..
Since moving to horde I have pretty much recreated all my toons I enjoyed playing on Alliance, and then Blizz "several years later" brings out "Faction changes" yay!! "JERKS!"

So anyhoot back to the shaman, she's elemental, and I am so not in love with elemental at all..
My knight in shining armor came and helped me yesterday on the scourge quests in Borean Tundra, and it was actually fun and carefree to be with him and just doing something together, even if by the time I got a cast off he had killed the mob lol!
Gotta love Hunters =]
Anyhoot - Thankyou Jon <3

So I'm thinking seriously about healing on that shaman, I've never tried Resto.. We'll see...

Shamans are FTW though and i do love how Blizz intends on finally giving them all their own "specific race" looking totems, that will be pretty bloody cool..
Woots!

On another note, I've seriously been considering doing some Blizz wallpapers..
get my artistic hat back on and stuff, As usual I'll talk to the wise Mr Heartt about my ideas before making any decisons erp!!
I know sounds gimicky but hes a great sounding board and super smart,
Yanno!
Oh and he's Trixy n Stuff 'nods"
adds to list of todo's "Discussion with Jon"
Okay I'm seriously procrastinating,
I really am finding wrath boring to level in --
sigh!!
okay enough alt tab - back to the leveling grind

Blizzard Bloos

So my Guild THI has Toc 10man fully cleared...
TOC 25 4/5 we go in Mon for that completion.
Which is awesome but wow Blizz I mean really? - REALLY!!!
The Toc final boss was a a huge let down for a zones finale`..
Anyhoot lets hope the Hardmodes are a much bigger challenge then this zone was/is!

Anyone ready for old hard core style raiding again?
I know I am...
A wise and awesome male told me once "be careful what you wish for" --
Jon is this wish one of those kinda wishes? The kind I'll regret after the fact..
:P
Oh well, Give us some Hard content that gets the blood pumping on a kill and gives you that adrenalin rush like fights once did..
Blizzard you have seriously given hard core mindset raiders NOTHING to look forward too in this game.. TY <3
I only hope Icecrown and Cataclysm bring us something more then this easy "anyone can do it", shit!
I'm old school, so what can I say other than - Its TIME to Give us raiders something to look forward too in this game, we haven't had that since the end of 40man content - Pre BC!

Mounts

So a friend of mine is one of those achievement happy types, who runs around the world doing them all.
Right now hes working on Mounts and has 94 of them.
I decided to compose a list of all the mounts in the game so he could come here and view them....
These are horde only mounts and mounts available to both races, but no alliance =]
I've also included a list of mounts that are no longer available, and my list of the top 10  flying/riding mounts.
There are currently:


         * 122 mounts available to Horde characters.
         * 2 mounts available exclusively to death knight, warlock, and paladin classes.
         * 2 mounts available exclusively to the Engineer profession.
         * 2 mounts available exclusively to the Tailor profession.

Note: Mounts that are no longer currently available, regardless of whether they currently exist in the game, have not been included in this count.
  • 2 mounts available exclusively to death knight,warlock, and paladin classes.

  • 2 mounts available exclusively to the Engineer profession.

  • 2 mounts available exclusively to the Tailor profession.

  • Note: Mounts that are no longer currently available, regardless of whether they currently exist in the game, have not been included in this count.

    Check Boxes next to each mount so you can make a note of what you do have =]

    TOC - No Trash

    So we have entered yet another new world of dungeons, "TOC":  except this one really has a twist..
    OMG!! NO TRASH!!
    Who would have thought we'd actually get a raid instance that didn't involve hours of endless trash.

    I guess if you ever did AQ40 and made it as far as killing The Twin Emperor's then did the trash heading up to C'Thun
    any trash in the game since, has been pretty simple and/or boring.

    Sunwell trash put most avid raiders to sleep it was so boring, and made the zone seem much longer then it really is.
     Although days of OLD in Naxxarams 40,  the trash was extremely annoying, & much more difficult then the 10/25 WOTLK version, where you had to be on your toes.

    Trash in Hyjal was more waves of fighting the same sort of crap, it really didnt seem to be difficult and it was at least  fast clears, more so because you had to defeat one wave before the next came to avoid being unindated with mobs.
    BT trash was simple and you breezed through it with ease, and lets face it, out of all the BC/Wotlk trash encounters, the hardest was the TK pulls, small area lots of trash that were pretty mean tempered and CC was utilised a shit ton to get through it.
    I guess this is our reprieve of some sort, given TOC is an arena style dungeon and thus far in both 10/25 modes it has been relatively easy without any hitches.
    of course we still have to encounter hard modes and I'm hoping these will be much more of a challenge.
    Given that my guild  "The Horde Initiative"  only joined forces about a month ago, we have cleaned up rather well for a brand new guild, especially  in TOC. 
    With Ulduar style in the mix, and a great team of people and players i see us climbing the realm ladder and being a force to be reckoned with.
    Bring on the next TOC boss, we are itching at the butt to clean up that one too, and move onto HM's.
    Although I'm glad to say the no trash dungeon is a nice change (although Maly was trash free too - but a single encounter)..
    I'm hoping the trash comes back into future dungeons to give us more of a variety of things to do and achieve in the raiding game.
    Less trash - Sure ..... No Trash - Boring!
