I’m currently grinding Hodir (I’m on top, dammit!) and am ~ 1/3 way through from Revered->Exalted.

I tried flying that damnable drake a few times one day then walked away. I’ll thrust my own damn spear, athankuverymuch!

Ther are a couple bright spots for me grinding the other portions out:

I’m a blacksmith & miner, so I needs me my titansteel. Eternal fires are the most problematic portion, (aside from titanium) and killing the fire-dudes in/around the metal shard things is one of the best places to farm the fire.

If I loot/mine (yes mine) all of the bodies of my fallen foes, I can finish the 5 other Hodir quests about 150-200 gold richer than when I started it. And that’s vendoring everything (greens included)

I still don’t have my 4 weapon types up to 400 skill yet. Beating on hapless elementals is theraputic and a good way to earn skill points (and a bot of extra gold)

I loved MagT, I have to say – it’s one of my favourite instances in the entire game, even though I never reallly got to do it “properly” as it were. But I managed to get a degree of challenge out of it by approaching it in various ways.

As far as I’m concerned, mad Tirion and his stupid pit can *drown* when Cataclysm comes. Or DIAF

You and the Melee Hunter on the Prowl (http://meleehunter.blogspot.com/) could duke it out for Uber Tank of Tankiness

But, seriously, hope your WoW-life comes back into focus. I’ve been spending a lot of time roaming the Barrens etc saying goodbye and very little time levelling recently – even though Cataclysm is months away I feel a sense of urgency to see everything everywhere before it warps/disappears completely. I really love the Barrens and its creatures…

Ahhhh…

Help… me…

You demanding to go places will be a fresh gust of air.

I will do my best to, err, suck up Hodir and stop whinging about it

And I can always try to heal more with my fishing rod if I want excitement!

I’ll be nosing about in WoW again soon, it’s more life getting in the way that ToC having destroyed my pleasure in the game. As soon as things calm down, I’ll be hanging around, demanding to be taken places…

My God, Insane in the Membrane?! That’s one helluva goal – my membranes are, quite frankly, just too sorted to even attempt it. I’m working very very half-heartedly in Loremaster. I don’t really like the title, truthfully, because doing quests isn’t quite the same as engaging with them but I do want to make the most of Azeroth before cataclysm hits.

Heroic ToC still makes me twitch – even though I can heal it pretty comfortably these days. There are a couple of drops in there that would probably be good for me – some caster trousers, I think, but there’s only so much I’m willing to do for pants =P

I don’t think I’m experienced enough for hard modes, sadly… so I’m a little bit stuck all things considered. Besides, I’d kind of like to, err, do the normal modes at least once But although most people agree that ToC is boring as arse, as you say, there doesn’t seem to be much energy in other directions. Of course, speaking of arses, I should just get off mine and try to organise something but I’m not quite confident enough to try. Yet. Mwahaha.

When gearing up my tree druid, no dps spec at the time, it was just “Oh noes ! No more killing in healing spec, takes hours to kill a mob…” and turning to my partner : “Please, get your warrior and come doing your Hodir dailies with me !”.
And when very very fed up with those quests, I would just log the hunter, put on BM spec, and go semi-afk killing random mobs in the area for Relics, eternals and greens, while chatting on TS or on chat. Even the grey items are worth vendoring.

I often feel like you these days, especially since my guild merged with another, I’m not in every raid anymore because of the extended roster, but I have to be online at 9pm and 11pm, and stay on TS for DKP.
So I’m there, logged and wondering what I would do tonight… and after 5 minutes of aimless flying, I’d just log off, take a book or log a level 25 alt and do some questing.

So try levelling an alt. Choose a class easy to level and with good survivability. I’m currently levelling my DK and a second hunter, horde side this time. I quite love those classes.
Or try playing the AH.
Or go for the quests achievements in every area.
Or grab a book or watch DVDs or try out some handcrafting or write stories or draw or…
If you log on and feel like “ugh I don’t know what to do” just don’t log and do something else. The game will still be there tomorrow…
