My hatred of druids is much older then that.

 ??? I've never been able to stick with a druid, but they seem like they're fun for alot of people, and they're definitely useful all-around even if they don't necessarily shine in any one role.

I don't know about that. I've seen awesome druid tanks, not to mention healers and moonkins who topped raid dps. Like paladins and shaman, they can shine at multiple roles!

In my days as a paladin, I've been a shitty dps, a decent tank, and a legendary healer. Its all about gear, talents and play style.  8)

Legendary huh. Be careful not to break your arm.

I agree with Jaron.

Druids seem to perform very well as tanks and healers - in my days as a healer paladin, I think druid tanks are among my favourite ones (along with paladin ones), with DKs being the least favourite. Druids can take a lot of punishment, and usually have the highest hp of all tanks (it's not uncommon to have druids with 40k health or more in a bear form) which makes them very efficient targets for my mega-heals.

And in a raid, I love being a healer alongside a druid healer, because we complement each other so well, with druids being great in keeping the raid alive with their AoE heals and HoTs, and me being the best at keeping the tank alive with my singe target nuke-heals and ability to get out of most stuns and similar effects. My least favourite healers are, strangely enough (strangely, because they are supposed to be specialists at that) priests, mainly because they die so easily (again, as a pally healer I can get out alive in most situations where I get aggro by some mistake or bad luck; whereas with priests it seems to be one mistake and you get the angel pop up).

As for dps, druids do not outshine other classes, but a boomkin raid passive buffs are nice to have.

All in all, druids are the only class more versatile than paladins and shamans imo (because paladins can do melee dps, tanking and healing; shamans can do melee dps, healing and ranged dps; and druids can do all four roles).

Well I seriously doubt I'll ever raid with this druid - or even get him to 80.

But I've also been reminded how easy it can be to make money with herbalism.   :)

Korea apperently quit the game forever.  I have no idea why.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Okay, so I'm not quitting forever. But man I'm so mad at this stupid fucking game and their stupid fucking respawn rate! When I'm on a collection quest it takes 50 fucking years for respawns but when I'm trying to get a stupid fucking captain all the fucking guards spawn as soon as I kill them (exaggeration)

Ugh!
I want my mother fucking points!

I'm finding that it's ridiculously easy to make money with inscription.  People will pay huge amounts of money for major glyphs I can make with the crappiest paper and ink made from peacebloom and silverleaf. ???

I am reminded they upped the respawn rate or something.  I was killing furbolgs and at one point I would kill a bunch of mobs then those evry same mobs would respawn before I even finished looting their corpses!
