What rotten luck! Luckily, the only title that I knew I needed to get for Anea was "Elder"... but, the smart girl I am, I left it till the very last day (practically up to the hour, honestly) to get the instances finished. I'm glad I got it, but you're right... no title is worth THAT much intensive labor, effort and kills for it all to depend on luck. .-= Anea's last blog ... The Nu Anea! =-.

I did this last year on my priest. Because “Hallowed” fits a priest so damn well. But I never did it on my pally. Well right after this holiday I decided on my pally to start doing all of them to get the purple drake, since he’s a pally and pallies are gay. What better than to rid eon a purple drake? So, I just NOW got my drake on him. And I thought I wasn’t going to. Having to get stupid toothpicks from trick or treating is silly. I trick or treated every hour for two days before my hubs finally got it for me while I was napping. >.<
And I swear I only got the Hallowed Helm out of luck with my mount farming group.
Sorry it's been difficult for you. I'd just trick or treat everytime you run by the inn keeper, maybe it'll show up in a bag.

Also, I love this sites layout.

My vanity alt (the prettiest elf) actually had the damn squashling drop twice in a row last – completely useless since you can’t even trade it with yourself and Agrimony is never going to replace his Siamese cat. Never.

I hear you about holiday achievements – I’ve never really seen the appeal. Some of them are quite fun at 80 becuase it gives you something a little bit fresh and different to do instead of sucking Holdir’s horn. But I’ve only ever done the fun stuff.

You can actually get the Squashling from trick or treating as well. I got the Hallowed title on 3 of my characters last year (because I’m slightly crazy, clearly) and I definitely got the helm and pet from treat bags on one of them. And you’re very lucky to have seen the mount that many times! I killed the HH every day last year at LEAST 5 times a day and so far the same this year and have yet to even see it.

Gnomeragan is a bad example, Horde can teleport there from Booty Bay. But I agree, it’s pretty horrible to see all the slaughtering going on outside SM. At the very least you guys should get a free teleport to the instance or something!

Hmm – part of me has about zero sympathy – I mean, you did choose to play on a PvP server right? I don’t know your historty – but there’s still that concious choice (especially given the realm transfers) to be on a PvP server.

Of course, you’re Oceanic – so things could be different.

Anyway – I do agree about the achievments. Those types of titles and such never really interested me. I have no interest in the mount (yes, he’s cool – but my 310% speed proto will still win – along with my chopper), and my Starcaller title is the only one I need right now.

Oh yeah – and my luck on drops sucks too – at least on my Paladin (my main).

As far as the gankfest goes – I’m definately one of the guilty horde. And we play on a PvE server.

@Cokes Glad your liking the site! I’ve given up on getting Cass to run Headless Horseman for the remainder of the event lol – she is adamant she is never going back!

Yeah, it’s a warzone getting to the Horseman.

Could be worse. Could be some poor guy that just started playing the game and had a quest to go to SM. He won’t be back……
