My Own WoW Experience

MY CHARACTERS
     I've been able to play a Draenei Hunter as my primary character. Other than that, I've also tried to control a Human Paladin, Gnome Warlock, Night Elf Druid, Dwarf Warrior, Night Elf Rogue, Draenei Shaman, Human Priest, Gnome Mage, Draenei Mage, Night Elf Priest, Draenei Warrior, and Gnome Warrior for alliance. As for the horde, I had a Blood Elf Mage for my main character while I also had time to experience being an Undead Priest, Tauren Shaman, and Blood Elf Warlock.

     Most of the time, I use my Draenei Hunter. She has complete skill level for Defenses, Swords and Crossbows in Weapons while having complete skills in cooking, first aid, jewelcrafting, and mining for the professions.

     She has a pet. A bear who is in level 63. I raised its level from Level 10 since I got the bear from Bloodmyst Isle during my days of leveling up. Of all my characters, my draenei hunter probably has the most reputation in a wide variety of factions. She is exalted in all of the capital cities of the alliance and The Aldor in Shattrath city.

     If I'm not playing my draenei hunter, obviously, I play with my blood elf mage. She doesn't have any complete skill in weapons but is near completing the defenses. As for profession, She is nearly finishing enchanting and tailoring with already 350+ skill level.

     As my secondary character, overall, she is not well explored and doesn't have much flight paths and reputation. All my characters in alliance has a flying mount already except for my night elf druid, my night elf rogue, my draenei mage, and the night elf priest, draenei warrior and gnome warrior. My blood elf mage and undead priest for horde are the only ones with flying mounts.

PLAYING
     While playing, what I usually do is questing, especially while I'm still leveling-up a character or when I'm trying to be exalted in a faction. When I'm not questing, I increase my professions skills. I usually increase my professions skills at the same time I go for exploring. While I discover places, I get past many different needs for my profession which I take.

     Playing in groups is also one of the things I enjoy. Sometimes, we go in raids to fight in dungeons or simply kill strong bosses or guards to increase our weapon skill levels. When I fight lower level mobs, I usually go unarmed to increase my potential in the field.

     Places I usually go to while playing are different for each character. Here are some examples:
Draenei Hunter: profession - Darkshore, Ashenvale, Tanaris, or Hellfire Peninsula
                           raids - Black Temple or Magister's Terrace
                           questing - Outland or in the area where I can increase reputation with a certain faction
                           weapon skills - shadowmoon valley or netherstorm
                           roaming around - flying over outland
Blood Elf Mage: profession - Outland or Orgrimmar
                           raids - Black Temple
                           questing - Horde capital cities
                           weapon skills - Terokkar Forest
                           roaming around - The Barrens
Human Priest: profession - Azeroth
                        raids - Black Temple or Magister's Terrace
                        questing - Alliance capital cities
                        weapon skills - during questing
                        roaming around - Theramore Isle
Tauren Shaman: profession - Kalimdor
                           raids - never been to one
                           questing - Thunder Bluff
                           weapon skills - during questing
                           roaming around - Shattrath
