I recently changed mains, from my hunter to the more desirable druid ….. and the thought of having to get exalted with my druid makes me /cry a little.

And even on my hunter I have never soloed the Commanders ….. I have died horribly trying, and then given up ….. but that is not the same

Generally I kill the scourge, collect the weapon of the day and curse my way through the jousting. But not daily, ‘cause I just couldn’t face it :S

I did them for about three days and promptly stopped even though the BOA chest pieces coming in 3.2 are appealing. I honestly don’t see myself doing them. I did well with the jousting but the Argent dailies simply aren’t fun to me and I won’t do anything in-game if I don’t like it.

I hate most dailies so outside of the Cooking and Fishing daily I don’t do them.

I know exactly how you feel. I mean, I’m not Afraid of doing massive wads of dailies for rep or anything. I’m a Rep (and Mount) Whore. I’ve actually Got Exalted with the five home cities (done the old fashioned way pre-AT) I’ve racked up Netherwing, Skyguard, I’ve done Hodir, Frenzyheart (still got to get around to doing Oracles) I’m just over eleven days worth of rep away from finishing Ogri’la, and I’d do those rep-quests Every. Single. Day. So when I say that I’m 10 seals away from affording the Argent Hippogryph that I’ve been ogling since the first pics of it were posted, and I. just. can’t. bring. myself. to. do. those. dailies. any. more. you can get a feel for how hateful I find them.

Heaven forbid if I ever decide to farm up the pets, ground mounts and any gear that might catch my eye. I don’t think there is a Single daily grind I have ever participated in more obnoxious than the Argent Tournament, which is kinda sick when you consider the vast raft of rewards it has attatched that are so desireable, but once you’ve finished all the grinding, doing the Valiant quests day after day to unlock the different vendors, the pain hasn’t even begun! You have to do Weeks more of the damn things just to afford the items you ground to even have access to!

…wow, I started writing a reply and ended up with some kind of ‘woe is me’ rant instead. Needless to say I’m with you on the ‘I’m sick of these dailies in spite of them being the gateway to stuff I really want’ front.

(also on the subject of the Commanders, you may know and have tried this already, but I find the easiest way to solo one is to ride along one side of the block obstructing the stairs, ride straight through, up the stairs until you break aggro, heal, re-shield, then inch up to one of the two commanders at the foot, aggro with a lance-toss (who the hell came up with that move anyway?!) backtrack spamming shield and attack until any stray footmen have been trampled, then duel the commander as normal, trying at all times to keep him on the stairs)

I thought I’m the only one who hates the Argent Tournament dailies!

I love collecting pets for my cute mage. I love doing dailies. But I’ve been putting doing the dailies here.

I can only handle doing the dailies once every few weeks, as I seem to forget how much I hate them after that long. I have managed to get my rogue exalted with everyone due to the human bonus, plus my crazy idea that someday I want to get Loremaster.

There is ONE nice thing in 3.2 – the new 5-man bosses will drop Seals. Unfortunately to even spend them, you still need to be a Champion for someone which means doing the annoying aspirant/valiant quests.

If you ever want to do them in a group, there are plenty of us that could be convinced to join you. It is marginally more fun when you have someone to complain with.

On my server there are almost always people looking for a group to do Threat from Above, so even on my mage it’s never been a big problem. Either that or I ask guildies to come along for the ride with me.

I also don’t think it’s incredibly silly to have to get Crusader to do some extra dailies. The new heirlooms should just be badge of heroism stuff, but I think it’s perfectly fitting that in order to unlock new quests you need to get a certain level of rep (in this case, Crusader title).
