I bet, some stuff makes sense in any era, other things... garriwhat?

I don't believe I have that glyph, off to look it up because it sounds
great! Got a feeling I've neglected my rogue a bit other than just
levelling him, he used to be alliance so hasn't got the full set of
glyphs I made for most my horde alts yet, forgot to do them when I
transferred him.

Warrior, mage, hunter (and now monk) are my least levelled, not sure
why as I even like hunters, just never stick with them long enough to
reach high lvls. I am determined to change that when 7.0 comes though:
gnome hunters are just too cute, I have to actually level her so I can
go and tame devilsaurs and clefthooves and anything else I can think
of that looks ridiculously large ;-) 

There is one small problem with that though; if your pet thinks you
looks like a bite-sized snack it can get a bit scary...

Don't blame you, I've sometimes considered pruning one of mine, but I
do play both accounts at least once a week, usually 2-3 times+ and
would miss the access, so it seems kinda worth it - especially as they
increased UK prices a while back but existing subscribers keep the old
one for 2 years... so long as we *stay* subscribed, so if I only let
it lapse for a few weeks and then came back I'd lose money by having
to pay the higher rate!

I just went through a big pile of alts and found none on any of my
older characters, seems I always vendored the starting shirts - but
then I found one on one of my youngest pre-cataclysm characters, go
figure! Also discovered a Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade lurking in a
bank, which made me happy, obviously soulbound but I'm glad to have it
for my own collection!

If you have original tier 0.5 then congrats! I don't, got a few
characters with the original tier 0 BoE pieces, but have to get
replicas from the Darkmoon Faire for all the BoP pieces of both. Which
is a thought: maybe I should start farming tokens next time the faire
comes around, since I think I only have the looks of two class sets at
present: rogue and hunter tier 0.5. A good number of the tier 0 have
the same appearances from heirlooms though so at least I don't need to
collect those. 

I already know that this wardrobe will completely set off my
collecting instincts; I'm not doing any old content till 7.0 because I
will hate to vendor stuff but I simply don't have bank space for more
BoPs; any BoEs I gather meanwhile are going in the guildbank (thank
goodness for a private guild lol).
