I wonder how you guys did it in the past ...

Man some of the comments in this thread made me think back to the old days, when I was one of the many NE hunters on my realm from day 1 of WoW.

Trying to pug as a hunter!
Leveling a holy pally blacksmith engineer. (money pit)
Zul'farrak temple event... oh i hated that fight.
Running everywhere until you could scrape together the money for a mount.
Rading Crossroads...serious business!
Watching my wife run Black Rock Depths soo many times on her rogue for the Ony chain
Watching my wife grind Timbermaw hold rep for the agi enchants for days (forming a continuous raid that lasted for days) no extra quests or nice things like that.
Killing the few mobs that were in SIlithus that didn't drop anything.
A content patch for Mauradon! oooohh ahhhhh
Being able to ace Baron timed runs in dungeon blue gear.
Running Scholo so many times my head hurts thinking about it for my Dungeon 0 helm! And never getting it
Teaching scores of people how to play a hunter (yes you can kite, yes you have to dismiss your pet before you jump off that)
Raiding 40 mans... what a cluster.

Then PvP really came to WoW with rankings!
The rolling South Shore battles week one before BGs! (the original concept for Wintergrasp lag fest)
The 4 hour AV queue times! Battlegroups what are those?
Rolled horde undead shadow priest, played the snot out of it for weeks on end and only got to Blood Guard. But queue times were instant (not 4 hour waits for AV on my main alliance toon).

Played TBC to 70 on several toons, took a break and came back to try out this thing called multiboxing (no RAF) because I saw a video of Zin.
