Absolutely love this, from what I've seen. For peeps who do lots of boosting, this is gonna make them even richer... I don't even want to think about how much cloth I left behind in pre-cata Scholo... ugh!

Battle tag support

Sorry, I know I could probably look back through this thread, but what does this mean?? Sharing Account bound items across the entire account?? Love to be able to share BoA's between my horde/alliance toons.

A "not as intrusive or revealing" RealID alternative.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. AoE loot is going to be awesome for finishing up my boosting before MoP, but the loss of HGWT is going to force me to just grind dungeons instead of hopping between them and getting the extra xp boost from the quests... Ugh...

How close are you to finishing up your boosting? Do you have the 2 man mount? You can fly 2 characters to a summoning stone to summon the rest of your team.

HWGT? Sorry acronym is not ringing a bell.

I want to level two more groups to 80 (Pallies and Mages), the Pallies are below level 10 and I haven't rolled the mages yet, so I've got awhile to go. My RAF expires October 12th, so I've got some time still, but I'd like to get those two done before MoP lands.

Can't remember if I gave it to the DK I boost with or not, but I do have a 2 man mount from my previous RAF leveling, so I should get it on the DK after 5.0.4 drops w/ accountwide mounts. Seems like that's a pretty good solution for me.

Unfortunately, I had taken the time to park alts at every one of the instances and would HGWT them instantly, then summon the DK with the stone, so there was almost no travel downtime. This will slow things down a bit, but not terribly.

If you are doing RAF you would still have the RAF summon??
