We've finally touched Outland, running a few random dungeons right after we hit 65 and choosing Scryer at Shatt, but we still have yet to start questing there. I think that may change soon. I'm thrilled that we were able to skip Hellfire Peninsula, though there are a couple of decent quests there which we may end up doing for the rewards. Honestly I'm quite content with just running Outland dungeons, mostly because they're nice and quick. Although...

I've noticed a distinct change on player mentality since starting the Outland dungeons, even though I've only run 4 or 5. People are done asking where my Helm of Wrath came from (it's a ton of fun to tell people it's from Heroic Deadmines) and are drooling over it. As it should be!

Speaking of which, my gear is finally being scrutinized, with a Druid telling me that his 40 Paladin has a shield with 3000 armor on it (yeah, okay buddy) and that mine is a piece of crap. Well of course it's no Shield of the Void, but I'm working on it. He then proceeds to blame a bad Crypts pull on my gear, after not bothering to do anything about the fact that I was possessed, and therefore unable to tank. The Hunter, who actually decided to stick around, finally beat me down until the possession faded. No wipe, but it was just me and the healer left standing. The Druid left, as well as a really worthless Death Knight, and their replacements helped us one-shot the rest of the instance no problem.

Guess there's not much "content" here for this post, but I figured I'd give at least a weekly update to all zero of the people who read this blog.
