I just realized what I needed to name my Dutiful Gruntling!
The things I love in World of Warcraft: Transmog, companion pets, toy box, mounts, filling bags/bank/void storage, jumping off of everything, and making NPCs dance with the Piccolo of the Flaming Fire.

So Stealthy
This is generally how my Druid prowls around Argus. I haven't asked anyone so I have no idea if other players can see my entire entourage of assorted squirrels, turtles, spiders, raccoons, deer, turkeys, etc. that follow me everywhere. The NPCs do seem to ignore them, though. Thank goodness, considering they span the entire walkway wherever we go.

THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE
Apologies for the title. I was just going to go with "SHE'S ON FIRE" but it seemed difficult to avoid it sounding like a reference, and pointless to try. She IS a Fire Mage, after all.
Anywho.
I really wasn't trying for Argus completion on my other characters, but I wanted some reason to log into them at all now that they're 110, and the one thing standing in my way seemed to be their crappy class halls. My main is the only one with the gold-making factory of maxed out champions, so I wanted to get my 900-level followers to the next level at least. Apparently that requires doing a shit-ton of stuff in Argus. Oh, well, it's not like I had a lot of other things to work on, I guess. I'm down to three or four Argus rares with drops that I'm farming, Army of the Light and Nightfallen paragon mounts, working my way to Prestige 10, and weekly chores. All of my (800-some-odd) pets are now level 25, so I'm just farming pet charms to make them all rare now. I'm still trying to level my Hunter when I get a chance, mostly with the app, and if I ever get her to 110 maybe I'll start on my Nightborne Rogue again.
EDIT: Adding my second alt to make it through the fire, my Druid. She is not in cat form ONLY because I did this earlier on my Mage and knew to expect it this time.
EDIT: Aaand my Warlock, because why not? Oh my god I'm so sick of Argus.
I do really like the way my Gnome's cutscene is really zoomed in so you can actually see her in the picture. I appreciate it, although I think it would have been really funny if this was her screenshot:
Anywho.

So, Buddy, How's the Respawn Wait Time?
I'm actually just waiting 10 minutes for my Warframe cooldown so I can summon Mother Rosula, but I noticed this guy and I just had to get a picture with him.

I Don't Know About Prestige
I don't really think anyone is in awe of my NPC-slaying abilities or my indifference as I check off PvP WQs on my long list of tedious chores I feel compelled to do without any enthusiasm or sense of purpose (after obtaining my main goal, my adorable Gruntling buddy). I didn't even bother getting a screenshot of the mount, a white unflyable unicorn, which at this point just feels like... Oh, well. Maybe I'll get to the next level. I think it's a title reward.

Beta Fun
The day the Alpha changed to Beta, I finally got in. I haven't been really excited about the expansion, but I am interested in how it's going to feel playing my Shaman. I probably should have made a Goblin to test (so I could at least put Rocket Jump on my Gust of Wind button) but I went ahead and made a Mag'har orc since I hadn't seen them yet. I thought my name was clever (like a Mag'har Martha) but I've since realized it sounds a lot like Magatha, and I'm not sure that I care for the association.
It took me forever to get my bars into a playable configuration without bartender, using keybinds and a helpful screen loading tip about the extra action bars in the interface menu, so I was finally able to approximate my Goblin's setup, but I'm not sure I was able to glean any useful information about the play style in BfA. It feels clunky and slow, and I am not a numbers person so I don't know the difference between my Goblin's stats and my Beta Orc's stats, all I know is my Goblin feels fast and powerful whereas using the same basic rotation on my Beta Orc felt like "Laaaaaava Buuuuurst, Laaaaaava Buuuuurst, Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Boooooooooooooolt." I definitely don't care for Ascendance being on the same talent tier as Stormkeeper. It's just a weird place to put them, they have completely different utilities, I don't know why Blizzard felt like we should choose between them? Ascendance is my hard hitting spell for a big bad, or big burst of damage during a boss fight spell, and Stormkeeper is one I generally use on cooldown, three fast hits of lightning bolt when I get the extra maelstrom proc or three instant chain lightnings to burn down a group of enemies. I feel like I'm going to be switching back and forth between questing and raids/dungeons, and I don't really like to do that. Maybe that's what I'm supposed to do, but it felt like Blizzard was trying to discourage that when they made talents only changeable in cities instead of everywhere, so I don't know.
I haven't done much on the Beta otherwise, but I did run The Battle For The Undercity. It felt pretty unfinished, with a couple of Thrall vs. Deathwing cinematics and lacking voiceovers in parts. I don't know if I wasn't keeping up with Sylvanas at the end well enough (probably because I kept turning around to fire Lava Burst procs) but I ended up just outside of the room the NPCs ran to with a permanent Disoriented debuff keeping me from running any farther. I had to exit the instance to get out of it, and then had to restart the game after a /reload didn't restore my ability to move.
