Your Ultimate WoW goal - part 1

My first personal goal in WoW was having fun ofcourse but when i still was a level 15 Hunter (or something around that level) i already read about [Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers], the proof for a Hunter that you could play your class pretty damn good imo.
As a young little Nightelf i couldnt dare dreaming of ever owning an Epic, let alone thé ultimate bow! Ofcourse i knew that i needed to do Molten Core to make a slim chance on starting the quest, something else i never dreamed to believe.
A loooong time later i actually stepped foot in the Molten Core with my casual guild and it took us quite a while but we finally reached Major Domo. I made it up to Raidleader in the meantime and using my tactic we managed to kill the dude ánd the quest item for the Epic Hunter quest dropped.... i used about all my DKP (we use a bidding system) which didnt bother me much as i had my full T2 set together anyway.

I was so enthousiastic and determined that i completed this quest within the following weekend.
The quest wanted you to kill 4 Elite demons without help of anyone, not even your pet... which was unlike anything i had done so far and perhaps still. When you failed you wouldnt be able to spawn the demon again for 4 hours and there would be just one (for 30mins) so if an other Hunter spawned him before you, tough luck!
Lucky for me most demons were there when i wanted to try them, i tried 4 of them unpotted to test the water and killed one on the first spawn.
The other three were done a bit later that weekend.

This was my personal Ultimate Goal in WoW and while i've killed the demons a couple of times more for some Hunterfriends who tried and tried but failed, it was never a challenge like it was back then. Still great fun and it was quite back-patting one shotting those Demons after a friend/guildy did 2-4 attempts just before that and were close to dispair.
Another question is if i should have helped others with this and while i have my own doubts, thats a subject for a different post. ;)
Anyway, i haven't had a personal high like that in WoW anymore and i can only pray the game will offer me a fresh goal soon.

Hey exa, Napok here.

I do remember the day you got the bow, how jealouse can one be :P.
I believe you were the first hunter from the cartel to get it right?
anyway, i do mis the old days where that bow was actualy hard to get.

Cheers!

Ah damn T1 ofcourse.. Killing some Elite Demons sounds much more like a challenge then all of the sudden doesnt it? :P

Never could get used to those Giantstalker shoulders, the ugliest shoulders i've ever had surely.
