(or maybe because nobody seemed to care about going?)<br /><br />4) Silliest gold sink: Mechanohogs<br /><br />5) Biggest addition: LFG tool, hands down.<br /><br />6) Best quest: Crusader Bridenbrad, in Icecrown (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=30562)<br /><br />8) Favorite non-combat pet: Pandaren Monk (does this count?)<br /><br />9) Biggest community controversy: Real ID.<br /><br />10) Most charming Blizz employee: i'm really liking Bashiok these days, since patrick & ghostcrawler can't be nominated. : )<br /><br />11) Best podcast: i'm really liking the Obscurecast<br /><br /><br />13) Most memorable blog post: Gnomeaggedon did an entire series in November on his experiences with depression and how to find help if you suffer from it.

Best raid instance - <br /> Icecrown Citadel. I spent pretty much the whole year in here, and I wasn't painfully bored until near the end. That's a good raid. :) <br /><br />2. Least successful raid instance<br /><br />Ruby Sanctum. We didn't run this on my server. Nobody hardly ran it, guilds didn't run it. PUGs didn't run it. Nobody ran it. I wanted to run it, but if people stay away in droves, something's wrong.<br /><br />3. Most longed for instance <br />- Heroic Deadmines/Heroic SFK. OMG, we were so excited for these! :D<br /><br />4. Silliest gold sink<br />I got nothing here. :( I don't spend gold lightly, and I can't even really think what I would spend it on if I did. <br /><br />5. Biggest addition to the game <br /><br />The Dungeon Finder. Blessing and Curse... speed leveling for my healer alts, but utter drudgery for daily heroics and source of a large amount of dickishness. This was the biggest game changer by far.<br /><br />6. Best quest<br /><br />Retaking Echo Islands (I liked this better than Gnomeregan, but only just). <br /><br />7. Ugliest tabard <br /><br />Loremaster's Tabard. EW!<br /><br />8. Favorite non combat pet<br /><br />Sen'Jin Fetish, from the Argent Tournament. I love the different masks this pet wears, and the jungle drums that play when you summon it. I also love that it's not all that common, despite being easily available from the tourney and BOE. <br /><br />9. Biggest community controversy<br /><br />Real ID in the forums! It actually got me to the forums to add my vote! I use Real ID, but I like to use it on my own terms and have the choice to opt out. Go Blizzard for backing down.<br /><br />10. Most charming Blizzard employee<br /><br />This is so not my area of expertise. <br /><br />11. Best podcast<br /><br />Obscurecast!<br /><br />12. Biggest blog facelift<br /><br />Pugging Pally -> Manalicious<br /><br />13. Most memorable blog post<br /><br />Rades's essay on Thersa Windsong here: <br />http://www.orcisharmyknife.com/2010/06/why-thersa-must-die-roleplaying.html<br /><br /><br />14. Most noticed blogger breakthrough<br /><br />Zelmaru at Murloc Parliament<br /><br />15.Most solid content provider<br /><br />Zelmaru at Murloc Parliament<br /><br />16. Most hugged blogger <br /><br />Apple at Azeroth Apple seems to attract hugs like a giant hug magnet. /hugs Apple. Yup. That's her.<br /><br />17. Hottest blogosphere topic<br /><br />The giant sexism kerfuffle of 2010, I think qualifies here. <br /><br />18. Best writer<br /><br />Pewter at 'Mental Shaman for analytical writing. Rades at Orcish Army Knife for evocative, lore filled, beautiful posts.Rhiihttp://www.ohmykurenai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-74936508569922583892010-12-23T20:24:02.645+01:002010-12-23T20:24:02.645+01:001.

Alright, I'm not sure whether people read the bit where we aren't supposed to put up things that have already won, or, if like me they think that Ulduar is just so good that it deserves to break the rules. ICC was fine, but calling it the best while Ulduar is still around seems like it might be illegal.<br /><br />2. The Colosseum, naturally<br /><br />3. I'm willing to compromise on this and not say Ulduar again. It seems only fitting to give this to Zul'Gurub<br /><br />5. Dungeon finder<br /><br />8. Chuck<br /><br />9. The Saronite Bomb, collapsing floor lich king kill (I'd say RealID but it wasn't a controversy... everyone was on the same side)Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-76898572290912880372010-12-23T19:26:45.410+01:002010-12-23T19:26:45.410+01:001. There's not really I lot to choose from her...1. There's not really I lot to choose from here. I have to say Icecrown Citadel. I really do think it was a good raid instance, but being around for over a year certainly gave me less than fond feelings about it.<br /><br />2. Trial of the Crusader. Four seperate lockouts for one raid instance? And not even an interesting raid instance, it all takes place in 2 rooms.<br /><br />3. Ruby Sanctum. I was fairly desperate for a break from ICC (though rather disappointed when we got it).<br /><br />4. Dalaran rings. Lots of gold for a ring that isn't even very good. The teleport is handy though.<br /><br />5. Changes to classes. Giving all specs a signature ability at level 10 was a welcome change and the leveling experience was improved immensely.<br /><br />6. I like that chain with Thorim and the Sons of Hodir in Storm Peaks. It's long, interesting and builds up interest for the HoL, HoS and Ulduar.<br /><br />7. Kirin Tor. I normally love purple, but this is an ugly purple tabard.<br /><br />8. Sprite Darter Hatchling. This one has been my favorite since I got it, many years ago. It's so cute and colorful.<br /><br />9. Ensidia's first Lich King kill.<br /><br />10. No idea.<br /><br />11. ??<br /><br />12. Murloc Parliament<br /><br />13. Coming from a resto druid standpoint, it's Keeva's "I Shapeshift therefore I am" post (http://treebarkjacket.com/2010/04/10/i-shapeshift-therefore-i-am/). Though I personally completely disagreed with the sentiment, a LOT of druids rallied around this posts and the poster image was seen everywhere.<br /><br />14. Vixsin at Life in Group 5. She's only been blogging for a year but has become the go-to resource for resto shaman.<br /><br />15. Keeva at Tree Bark Jacket. Always has well-written (and even better illustrated) posts on everything you'd need to know about resto druids.<br /><br />16. Larisa!<br /><br />17. Women in WoW<br /><br />18.

It came when people were burned out on raiding and waiting on Cata.<br /><br />3) Ulduar.<br /><br />4) Dalaran rings.<br /><br />5) The Dungeon Finder tool. No more begging in trade chat for a tank to do a daily heroic quest everyone hated.<br /><br />6) Are we excluding Pre-Cata event quests or not? If not, the Cultist quests in the major cities.<br /><br />7) Kirin Tor<br /><br />8) Wind Rider cub<br /><br />9) RealID<br /><br />11) Blu Plz! again<br /><br />18) RadesTobeumehttp://nonchalantpriest.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-18577574132773923422010-12-22T14:31:52.614+01:002010-12-22T14:31:52.614+01:00After reading through other comments I have to say...After reading through other comments I have to say that I need to change my answer for most controversial topic to REal ID.
