Slow Grind

Maybe it is because I haven’t done one in a while or because I have so little time anymore but my goblin rep grind seems slower than normal. Even though I know it couldn’t possibly be as bad as when I did the Timbermaw 1 rep at a time before they changed the system all the way to exalted. That rep had the occasional turn in item do as do the water waste guys I’m doing now.
I got DK as my heroic daily today which I hadn’t done in a while. The group had lost their healer but I joined them still at the first boss. The tank was well geared but all the DPS were recent 80s I can tell. I never mind not overgearing and instance, in fact they are way more fun that way
I finished up the DK run which didn’t take much longer than usual and then started my quests in icecrown for the argent tournament. I put myself in the looking for raid system for a 25 mana voa, Inien was finishing something else and mentioned he did the same. I continued my quests in icecrown and then got a VOA25 invite, they were full though, and had apparently been wiping
I thought oh boy but stayed with them, a bunch of people left and I got them to invite Inien. I told Inien what he was in for and finally after a long wait we went again. I could tell the issue was their healers were severely under geared, but they had insane dps but then they wouldn’t switch to the frost thingys when they went up. Anyways we didn’t wipe but a considerable number of people died and in the end the of this story Inien got the mage pants that dropped from this boss with a roll of 25 against 2 other mages, and it completed his 4 piece set! Grats to him
One guy even offered him 6k gold for them hehe
After all that Inien and I finished up some tournament quests and I think we might have done a ToC in there some where too. We went over and hit up ZG to try again for my silly baby raptor pet and for some more mounts for him. Of course none of it ended up dropping. We did about 3 tries for the pet. It is a good distraction anyways
