PvP and Cat-Vacuuming

I haven't really made progress for the last couple of weeks, despite playing a fair bit. I got Exalted with the AV faction, which is stupidly easy in comparison to the other two factions, and gives a stupidly high amount of honor. I got enough tokens to buy everything I wanted plus some, and picked up the marshal's helm for when I ding 70. I really need a new weapon more than I need the helm, but I was near my 100-token limit and didn't want to waste them.

Last weekend I ran Arathi Basin repeatedly, because I'm a masochist. GodDAMN, do I hate that BG. It's boring, frustrating, and we always lose, which means I have to do it three times as often to get the tokens I need. I just about have enough to pick up my epic belt, though, so I'm reasonably satisfied.

This weekend will probably be Eye of the Storm over and over, and since I've only run it once, I dunno how painful it'll be. I need quite a few tokens to pick up all the stuff I want, though, so I'll have to slog through it. I'm sick of being badly undergeared, and I have no desire to join an arena team, so this is the easiest way to get into decent level 70 gear. And I don't hate PvP - really, I don't - I just hate that Alliance always loses everything but AV. I'm sure my counterparts hate AV as much as I hate everything else.

I also spent a little time clearing the last couple of Steamwheedle Cartel quests I'd missed, tipping me over into Revered with a couple of the cities and getting me pretty close with the others. No way am I doing repeatable quest grinding for them, but I like feeling like I got as high as possible. I'm eagerly awaiting the next patch, where I can go back to the Plaguelands and clear out the last of my tasks there - for double rep! I am guessing that at 70 with reasonable gear I'll be able to solo-grind the instances at least a little. I want Exalted with Argent Dawn, dammit!

Oh, and I finally cleared out the Windsor escort quest, which means I am DONE with BRD for good. Finally. Now all I need are some BRS runs and I'll be keyed for Onyxia! Heh.
