WoW! Really!

Whyyyyyyyyy did I think it would be a good idea to do the Wintersaber grind? (Answer: because they're taking the rep out, and I WANT IT.) I mean, this is immensely tedious even at level 85, with the nerfed rep gains, and with a flying mount. I can't imagine having done this in vanilla. MY GOD.)

On the plus side, I only have three more pieces to replace before I'm in all-heroics-or-better gear, and only one piece to replace before I'm in all 333+ blues/purps. And I'm officially hit-capped for raiding! (Actually, I'm like .2% over, but I can't find a way to reforge that to something else without going under 8%) I'M PRETTY PSYCHED.

Rep grinding was something else to do with your time before the era of archaeology as a more amusing time-waster?

Yeah, IDK. I thought Timbermaw sucked enough when I was grinding it and the thought of how much worse it would've been in Vanilla is just, wow. No thank you?

Timbermaw is apparently super easy post-Shattering. Aside from getting buttloads of rep for the quests (and there are way more quests that give Timbermaw rep now, too), the mobs seem to give rep all the way through Exalted. (I wasn't 999/1000 Exalted when I stopped, and when I was killing furbolgs for the Wintersaber Trainers, I noticed I was getting Timbermaw rep. ... really? Dang. That would have made my life a lot easier a few months ago when I did the grind.)

But anyway, I don't really mind grinds like Timbermaw or Kurenai where it's literally just grinding mobs for rep, because I kind of get in this zone and just go. I mean, it sucks, no doubt, but not as much as this three quests all over the zone, turn them in, get the same three quests thing for the Wintersabers. There isn't really a good grinding zone for me to get into with that. At least I have my flying mount! (And I just hit Revered tonight, so I should be able to get to Exalted at some point in the near future. And I have to remember to go for the full 999/1000 or the unfilled bar will drive me crazy forever. Like my 238/3000 Neutral Zandalar Tribe bar will. Forever.)
