Foreword

I have been playing Wow since late Vanilla. However, I did not start raiding till Lich King.
Why?
Because back then the game was very complicated to me, and as there were no real guides you tended to swing it. I did not know that a hunters armour was leather, and that agility was the primary stat. At level 27 I was called a noob because I needed on an item that was cloth. 'But it has intellect on it' I said. Then I was kicked from the group.
I came back mid BC because loads of playert from a guild in another game decided to come and play it. (Archlord since you ask) so I ended up on Stormreaver EU playing a Tauren Hunter called Tikx.
I got to 70, but still didn't raid. I was just doing the daily quests I could muster with my shit gear, and just earning gold to gear up lowbie alts.
Then along came Lich king.
I went to borean tundra, like many, many others, and started my grind to 80. But I had a problem. Stormreaver is a pvp server. It took me 3 weeks to get to 72 and leave that area. So I went back to my little Dwarf Hunter which I had left on Doomhammer, armed with the knowledge I had from Tikx, and I Decided to sort her out. She had resto leather, healer cloth and a mish mash of armour. So I went to stormwind and had a look at the auction house. Armed with my 5g, I ould buy nothing. Then I noticed something I had in my bag, from my Deadmines run from which I was booted. A hyacinth Macaw. On auction house for 5000g. I put it on for 4000g and it sold in less than a minute.
Waited the hour for the gold to turn up, then I bought everything I needed to go on my murderous rampage.
