That’s right, we’re a week into patch 3.3 (well, almost) and we’re still running random PuG’s on our alts. Well, I am, anyway, and if the emails we at WoW.com are seeing are accurate so are a lot of you. And as is often the case when dungeons are being run, we’re seeing loot issues.

Oddly enough, I for once don’t really have much to complain about loot wise. My tauren got a swanky trinket, an upgrade to his main hand weapon, and plenty of emblems for his DPS set as well as some nice tanking gear. Since I don’t get as much time to play Horde side as I used to, the new Dungeon Finder has been a positive boon for me as a DPS warrior while at the same time giving me something to do to use up some time on Alliance side as well before raids. But I’ve seen and heard plenty of the opposite result: people queuing up over and over and over again hoping for a drop and seeing the Orca-Hunter’s Harpoon get sharded for the sixteenth run in a row. (I admit to taking one for my arms set and then sharding it after the axe dropped, but in my defense no one wanted it).

So we move the question to you: have you snagged that elusive drop yet? Has the Battered Hilt dropped for you? (Blasted thing!) Have you gotten that shield, trinket, armor piece or weapon that haunts your dreams or are said dreams still haunted by nights of fitful, tortured yearning? (Sorry, watching old Taxi reruns.) How have those fickle loot gods been treating you?

Roxzee of <Teen Moo Squad> on Dragonmaw wrote, “I recently discontinued my World of Warcraft account. Before I left the game I decided it would be fun to grant my level 71 Druid epic flight form. After training the spell, I had to get a bird’s eye view of my favorite zone in the expansion (and probably in the game) – the Grizzly Hills. After flying around, I found a nice perch and took a few screen shots of Roxzee watching over the forest that I fell in love with not so long ago.”

Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!

Few were surprised yesterday when there was extended maintenance due to patch 3.3 being implemented on the live servers. Though I was briefly able to log on and grab a Corehound Pup Pet, otherwise I was at the mercy of the downtime along with everyone else. Here’s what I did:

• Caught up in Cafe World — unfortunately, my food had spoiled.
• Watched the Fall of the Lich King trailer — more than once.
• Colored with The Spawn — some of those new Crayola 64 color names are weird.
• Read up on the new Dungeon Finder Guide — good stuff.

And, of course, I tried to log on over and over and over and over.

What did you do during the 3.3 extended downtime?

As dark and depressing as it may seem when you’re slogging through the swamps, Zangarmarsh can be considered one of the most visually detailed zones in the game. “I was flying into Zangarmarsh from Terokkar and noticed just how beautiful this game can be at times,” writes Scomparsa of Earthen Ring. “The sunlight streaming around those massive, otherworldly mushrooms just took my breath away. I play this game for these kinds of moments, and after almost 4 years of playing, they still happen on a regular basis.” Sure, it’s pretty, but if we’re looking for stunning visuals, I’m going to have to go with Tim Tebow crying on the sidelines. Hey-o!
