Oh ya, and I have a picture of my lvl 72 hunter with one of every family, except Devilsaurs, and Spiritbeasts (soon though, I hope). A million thanks Mania, don’t know what I’d have done without this site!

I’m an alt-aholic, I have some 32odd toons, just on the American server, and now 5 on Euro servers. Thirteen of those are hunters!!! One 72, a few high 20′s, one lvl 34, the rest are under 20. Everyone of them has a unique pet, be it a Horde with an Alliance pet, or an Alliance with a Horde pet, or rare spawns/unique, such as Deathclaw on my Tauren hunter \(^o^)/ I don’t have time for spending hours in an instance, or waiting for a group to get itself together! Nor do i care enough to met someones specs for raids, etc. I collect non-coms, mounts, and the strange and the wonderful! Fortunatly my main guild is very understanding. I usually only run low lvl’s through instances, or if I need a bit of fast cash I might burn through a low lvl instance. This site is my favorite site (that and Thottbot) I get tired of reading the forums which make it sound like you HAVE to have certain gear, if you don’t you must be a failure! So thanks Mania *hugs*

Wow, what a comfort this thread is!

Frankly, I’m sick of grouping and all the drama it entails; be it a dungeon/raid, or PvP. I mess up a lot, and seem to be the only one who can deal with it (and the fact that I find wipes hilarious doesn’t help matters, either — not that I try to get everyone killed).

I love soloing, whether it’s exploring, questing, seeing how far I can solo an instance, riding aimlessly around Azeroth, etc. Even today, I thought “I don’t think I’ve ever been to Durotar” (I’m a NE hunter on Hakkar), so I spent my afternoon turning down TK invites, just so I can finally say that I’ve been to Jaggedswine Farm and Orgrimmar. It’s a big world, and there’s plenty to do, and experiences to be had. I want to play to relax and have fun, and my purposeless escapades do just that.

Glad I’m not the only one!

Sorry for being so long-winded. Hunters rock!

Thank you! I now know I am not alone, thank you, thank you, thank you. WOW is my work release and my time to get together with my grand daughter and daughter and her hubby.

Some of the questions I get are – Go into instances? – “Nope.” Raid? – “Heavens no, lol!”. Get into a group and pvp? – “Go away, pest. You’re becoming boring!”. Well, you don’t play WOW – “oh yes I do! I solo, run my alts thru the low level dungeons that I want to do, and make my gold for the elite flying mount!”. Join my guild? – “gwaf, you’re terrible!”

So, if anyone is ever on Sentinels and see a Bloody Elf huntress, say hi, but beyond that, please don’t expect much :) Good hunting to ya’ll.

Nothing wrong with soloing, Id preferr that than raiding, because my guild is full of morons hehe.

I hope Kris doesnt kill me for this..

I absolutely AGREE!

I play the same way, with lots of ‘wandering’ and ‘seeing whats going on’.
I do dailies for income and for levelling the pets that I try out.
(an aside – the Blackwind Sabrecat is awesome!)

I dont PvP execpt for rare actions in Halaa. INstances, same, basically never.
Raids, well, ditto.

I have done full spec BM, full MM, and am using a 19/0/42 Surv profile and am really enjoying it!

Enough babbling…big cheers from Ranthol 70 Surv Hunter on Amun’Thul

I dont feel like such An Odd Hunter anymore… thanks

Hahah, I get the same thing sometimes.

‘What do you DO?’ I sit a lot in Nagrand leveling pets, and its a mystery to all everyone why i basically live there.

From Pre-BC to now- I went from being a solo hunter, to a pvp hunter, to a raid hunter, and now it seems I’m starting over again. I’ll log on just to go tame and level pets I haven’t had yet (or had before even) I LOVE going to instances for the really tricky tames, even for pets I don’t intend on keeping. I love that part of the game.. It’s like a challenge that only us hunters get to enjoy. So I salute you Mania, and proudly stand with you.

I’m an odd hunter. =)

Somehow, I still feel that one the most epic experiences in the game is getting that unusual pet from the must unlikely location then you just hit level 10.

What do I do?

I raid.

that … and show 24 of my friends what beast mastery dps means, by topping the dmg done charts.

“I thought I was the only hunter who’d rather solo than raid…”
Nope. :P
