Standard disclaimer: Leave your loathing of meta, World of Warcraft, or community diaries outside. If you think we should be playing your MMO instead, start a guild and write a recruitment diary. Don't leave a comment here and then get all hurtful when it isn't received with flowers and candy. This goes double for people coming in to attack guildies over other diaries or comments - STAY OUT! Link to your recruitment diary is OK though.
Standard advertisement: Wreck List is the Daily Kos World of Warcraft guild. We are Horde-side on the Garrosh server. To join, read this diary ,visit the Guild web site, roll up a character on Garrosh and when you log in type
/who wreck list
and contact (via in-game mail or /whisper) any of our members - who can direct you to someone with /ginvite privileges and get you a guild invite. Yes, you have to be Horde. No, you don't have to be hardcore - casuals, PvPers, and people that just want to hang out on guild chat are all welcome.
More below the fold:
Yes, we will have raiding reports and even a Wreck List of the Beta Report. But first, we must address the Guild Vault. Specifically, how full it's getting.
Now's the time to get ready for the expansion, so grind those professions and use that gear. We're getting full again.
Don't be shy about asking us to make things. Odds are, that's why most of us leveled crafting professions to begin with.
Don't know how to find someone who can make what you need? Well, here's a handy blog post that tells you how to find out.
I will even post a poll to see what would be the best use of my Socialism Days. Understand that Socialism Days are purely optional and this is completely for my own information.

Raiding reports:
Team Kaels:
Team Kaels is battling the dreaded absenteeism boss. We managed to make some progress on Hagara heroic last week due to welcome substitutions at the last minute, thank you to our gallant rescuers, but we're not seeing the same raid composition two nights in a row, and without that consistancy we can't really make headway. Our Peerless Leader is weighing some options, and hopefully we'll be able to progress to 8/8 heroic before the next expansion comes out.
Team RubiPam report:
Team RubiPam is remarkably still very stable in attendance, with some wonderful backups ready when we need them, so we are determined to keep working on heroics as long as we can, and, we hope, prepare for raiding in the expansion as well. We have not gotten a second heroic boss yet, but we did get Morchok down on heroic again Tuesday after only a few wipes, so we're getting there. We powered through the rest of the first wing on normal, and then worked on heroic Ultraxion some more, making some real progress. Mostly our issues are learning the fight, how to do the soaking (yes, you HAVE to push that deterrence/dispersion/whatever button to soak, and YES if you're on a team it means you DON'T push the Heroic Will button) but even so we got him to 31% on our last pull. I am still not sure we've got the dps yet to get through the soft enrage, but we will try again Friday night.
Wreck List of the Beta Report (via Pamena):
A new wave of beta invites went out last night, and several Wreckies got in. Our Beta Wreck List guild has over 20 toons in it now! I continue to be impressed with how beautiful Pandaria is - the baby pandaren start zone kind of reminded me of the wonderful Asian gardens at Univ. of Washington, one of my favorite places in Seattle, and I can just wander around and enjoy the views without doing much of anything in there. I'm also amazed at how little people seem to understand that OF COURSE there are BUGS! It's not early access, it's a beta, report those suckers, don't whine about them people! I am having fun playing Sentawreck's new arcane spec - I am loving our new "arcane bomb" spell - I haz a DOT! Still, I don't want to play the beta so much that I will be bored with it by the time the expansion actually drops; nonetheless, Sentawreck and Pamenawreck will be around periodically so if you are in the beta but haven't yet joined the guild (and would like to), please whisp me or any of the beta guild members you see, we all have invite powers.
One bug note that everyone should be aware of - it seemed last night that no portals in the beta, either in Azeroth or Pandaria, would let you through unless you had a rune of teleportation in your bags. It was this way both for mage created and "public" portals in the beta, so be sure to stock up on those runes (get them from the reagent vendors) all you non-mages in the beta. People with mammoths were being very nice in the level 85 starting area last night, just sitting there with the mammoth out for several minutes so people could get runes and repairs.
That's what I have this week.
For the Horde!
