I seem to have refound my interest in WoW this past week or so, been
doing a few things out of the usual garrison chores routine:

First up, I have actually voluntarily done some heroic 5-mans :-O When
I did them for the legendary chain I found Auchindoun was pretty much
stressfree, and when the dungeon weekend is up it gives Laughing Skull
rep at 3k+ for about 10-15 mins, which is a great rate compared with
grinding mobs outside (So does Everbloom but urgh, just no). So, ok,
I've run it 4 times over the 5 day weekend, every group was pretty
much fine, that's certainly helping my confidence in pugs (although
admittedly, people who want to farm pointless rep tend to be the more
patient types to begin with...)

Also had a shot at Shadowmoon Burial Grounds duo with my bf; just
normal this time but we cleared the place alright. That cave with the
rockworm boss in looks amazing, talk about atmosphere - high-res
Deepholm for sure, loved it! Decided it was too much hassle to try and
fight through on heroic for the inn quest (item is after the 2nd boss)
but I completed the normal mode one anyway. Which leaves me with only
4 uncomplete inn quests now, so it seems a good enough time to drop
the inn and build a Gladiators Sanctum, the one building I've not done
at all. I'm no PvPer, but since I've done everything else, time to
give this one a shot... and Ashran.

Ashran, hmm, I'm not big on giant PvP maps, because it's hard to learn
where to go, and it's very hard to get to your group if they're down
at the other end of the map. I'm a healer, I don't function well solo
in PvP; give me people to heal! And it seems Horde don't get many good
groups in Ashran, my first 3 attempts were groups scattered everywhere
and being freely slaughtered by the Alliance, although I did at least
eventually collect my 20 broken bones and a human head. Got a much
better group last night and actually completed 2 bonus objectives and
got a heap of kills, that's progress! 

Oh and now Brewfest has started, been there, done that, except there's
a pile of toys and a new pet to learn, so I guess I'm doing it again -
I never got last year's toys (no toybox then!), so that's 4 alts
running it to be on the safe side (only 2 can do Direbrew for those
tokens), suspect I'll burn out fast, but hopefully I'll get everything
first. It seems the ram riding route has completely changed since I
last went there, not sure if that was a Cataclysm or SoO change but
that took some relearning. Not a fan of the reins being a spell now,
that I can't drag to an actionbar - I much prefer being able to spam
an actionbar keybind and steer with my mouse, especially when there's
tons of tents and bonfires to avoid along the route!
