lol - I hear you.  Tuesday night I looked at a rock for 8 minutes. 
Wouldn't you know it, last night as I'm riding through I come across a 
rock that's charged without anyone around.  Just when you *don't* need 
it, it's there....kinda opposite of cleaning out your garage...

Gratz!  Absolutely!  -Got mine last night as well!


One side note - I was totally wrong on the faction phasing on the 4 
celestial bosses.  Not only is it *not* phased, but they need to do 
something about the griefing.  It was borderline rage quit time last 
night.  Took 3 hours to get a group through due to Horde PvP griefers. 
The grief is that flagged Horde go into the fray when we would pull, and 
get one of the 20+ people to hit them, which no matter how hard you 
tried not to, someone would accidentally do it.  Once that happens, they 
attack that guy but not to kill him - but just enough that the healers 
with their noses stuck in healbot would heal them, thereby flagging the 
healers.  They then would go all out and take our healers out, trying to 
force a wipe.  The other grief that was done:  When we were about to 
pull, one horde would pull and sacrifice themselves to cycle the bosses 
off the one we needed.    When we did 3 and only needed the Ox, as soon 
as he came out, one would pull him and die making him disappear, and 
cycling the next boss in.  Then we would need one guy to sacrifice 3 
times to  rotate back to the Ox and have them do it again.   Bliz needs 
to address this....It was very infuriating.   Griefing has been done 
before on world bosses,  but this has 4 in one arena that are cycled 
through and only one at a time can be up, and only one faction can tag 
him.  This combined with the PvP quests/tokens to earn Blood spirits (?) 
encourages the griefers....grrrrr  (Although the mount you can buy from 
the vendor does look cool)

Anyway, the wings that appear on the cloaks are very cool, but different 
for each spec.  The healers get ones that look more like the Crane, my 
mage got ones that look like the serpent.  My friend who tanked last 
night got his with mine and he gets an Ox head that appears instead of 
the wings.  I haven't seen the melee dps tiger one yet.

After getting our cloaks, we went to check out the boss over the broken 
bridge.  LMAO!  we got to the end of the bridge and when you get right 
to the edge, you get floated over to the other side.  The two of us took 
out a couple of the mobs there just to check it out and get a look 
inside, then decided to head back.  We ran at the bridge expecting to 
get floated over to the other side....except...no float in that 
direction...There is however a sudden stop at the bottom.  (Embarrassed 
as a mage that I was in my off spec and my slow fall was in a different 
spot and I couldn't find and click it fast enough!  lol)  We were in 
vent laughing our asses off because I had enough time to yell 
"SHIT!-SHIT!-SHIT!! - WHERE THE........f@ck"  :)
