Wow, that sounds a busy schedule! I go for the mount runs
occasionally, but quite rarely now - I make a point of going to
Karazhan and killing Attumen on my way to Molten Core now, since it's
a short hop away from the Blasted Lands portal. I don't get around to
the heroics as often as I should though!

Good luck there! I'm on 51 personally (on my main), Frenzyheart and
Aldor I contributed with my druid alt.

Hehe yeah it's just boring killing 50 gorlocs rather than hard :-) I
had an unfair advantage on chickens - you can use the net in
travelform :-) Still took a while though!

hehe yeah, AV was ok but then I did it back in TBC days, not sure what
the grind is like nowadays. AB and WSG will take forever, think I'll
pass.

I may run it the quick way on some crafter alts now for the recipes.
Annoyingly my main is a jewelcrafter so no recipes for him!

Hehe not surprised, it's been hard to motivate myself for it at times.
Transmogrification helped, since I think priest T1 is their best
looking set anyway. Plus I'm trying to get some blood of the mountain
and sulfuron ingots to drop for my druid's Sulfuras :-)
