Winter Veil and the joys of levelling

So, I've been busy levelling, getting a new job, and generally attempting to convince my video card to work for the last few weeks. Thanks to my buying a Dell with a possibly faulty nVidia graphics card integrated into the motherboard (M1330 with a 8440M GS), the new content runs like a lame jogger, running through molassas and being chased by their biggest nightmare. *le sigh* (something like: run run run, trip, stumble, run run run, jumpy jumpy stumble, run run run, faceplant tumble drag drag garble stumble run faceplant, reboot try again)

But despite technical difficulties, I managed to get my main up to 77. Mainly by questing in Outland, as the BC areas are deserted and much gentler on my video card's crappy processes. While I like the new content, being regularly ganked by DKs 5 lvls lower than I am is frying my grits and making the game less than fun.

And thats another thing. Someone explain the logic behind a "Hero Class" to me. Because as far as I can tell, it's Blizz's way to get us all to play, Death Knights instead of those other pesky classes we've had all along, spent hours and boats of gold levelling, only to have our asses handed to us by a hybrid class who only has to rol their face across the keyboard to kill us. And just when you think you have them, they rez at full health into a ghoul and finish the job. Great. Thanks for the wonderful chance at staying alive there.

So basically IMHO, Death Knights just need a more effective healing spec, and all of us can abandon our regular toons for our new sparkly DKs, and the game can go on from here. We can dump our toons that we spent years in the making, mainly because "Hero classes" are a more effective way to play the game. Thanks, Blizz. Screw you too...

But I do like Winter Veil. I generally enjoy seasonals, as its a break from the daily grind and stupidity of questing in the new areas. And they generally give more experience for whatever quests there are and achievements you can only get during that time period. And thank god this time the achievements aren't completely based on the loot rolls, like the Hallows End crap was. All of you who achieved the "Hallowed" title, screw you for rolling better. I saw the mount drop briefly, same with the helm, but never even saw many of the items needed for the stupid title on my main (squashling dropped for my lvl 9 mage of course. WTF?) I can make gingerbread cookies since last year, and I can rescue the silly reindeer too. And my lower alts have a chance at doing it as well.

Have fun kids, I'm off to farm small eggs like everyone else.
