Breakfast Topic: Did you meet your Brewfest goals?

Brewfest was over. It was fun. It was extended. But now it's gone.
I was able to get my Brewmaster title this year and caught it on video. I also enjoyed a couple of events with the It came from the Blog guild. Because we had Achievements this year, I find that the event was more fun than previously. But now I must admit that I'm Brewfested out.
Were you able to accomplish all of your Brewfest goals? Did Coren give you the gear you wanted? Answer our poll below and then tell us your goals and challenges in the comments.

I got Trinkets coming out of everywhere from Coren, but not a single mount my way. =(
Got my Brewmaster title and PSPP, so it's not all bad.
Kal Oct 6th 2009 8:16AM
Same here, as many trinkets as I could want, but no mount :(
Mechageo Oct 6th 2009 9:11AM
I got a Ram but since I'm Alliance I wanted the Kodo.
Otherwise, I too got all the trinkets.
Agerath Oct 6th 2009 9:22AM
Got the kodo on my main and ram on my alt.
No brewmaster title though, couldn't be bothered.
Dah Oct 6th 2009 9:31AM
Same. The drop rate for that mount is stupid. 2 years in a row now with no mount. Only reason I have a mage was because I got it the year before last.
lasfoola Oct 6th 2009 9:45AM
I saw two rams and one kodo in a single run! Of course I didn't get um...
Dharmabhum Oct 6th 2009 9:46AM
Exactly. I got every trinket that ever could drop, I did finally get the remote on the last one yesterday, but didn't even see a mount drop which saddened my heart. You see, I knew I was going to be out of town for two weeks for work, and of course, they fell squarely over the Brewfest celebration. I did as much as I could the day I left, but was delighted to see it extended for two days (thank you blizz!) and I just had enough to get the last coins to get my title! Sad thing is, when I left, I pretty much consigned myself to not getting Brewmaster but asking friends to help out to try and get the ram. Then I return, Brewmaster is obtainable but the mount is never to be seen :(

I got lucky, the last try we did, the kodo dropped, but considering the number of eggs that dropped, you should be able to turn in those "easter" eggs and stuff them up Coren's --- and get a mount out of it.

I got both mounts, 2 tankards, a healy trinket for my 74 priest (thanks to some kind guildies who didn't mind carrying me) and a mole machine, on top of brewmaster.
I think i achieved every goal I had set for brewfest (except hooking up with a drunk blood elf...)
Crish Oct 6th 2009 12:15PM
got everything from Coren except mounts :(( this kinds ruined the whole holiday feel
i think it's just dumb that when a mount finally drops, only one person gets it and the other 4 are left with nothing
seeing the mounts drop and loosing rolls isn't very cheery :( after all, this should be a holiday ...

ram on my belf, kodo on my fresh 80 dwarf, kodo on my rank 12 dwarf pally still sitting at 60, a butt-ton of trinks and a violet drake
can't ask for much more.

Saw the remote drop ONCE, out of 14 days of 5-summon runs(missed one day due to patch problems, and one other I just didn't feel like playing). Lost that roll, obviously. On the up side, being a fresh 80 Rogue, having the dagger drop twice made for some sweet upgrades(I don't care how "dead" combat daggers is, they were still sweet upgrades for me). Also got both stam trinkets, the coaster(oh god, every damn run that coaster dropped. Well, except for one, but that was only because we got the egg. FIVE. TIMES. IN. A. ROW.), saw both mounts drop several times but didn't really care about them(and still lost every roll. Damn it. I also lied about not really caring).
Never saw the tankard drop during any run, but before the end I was able to snag one on AH for a scant 500G(not the cheapest, I'm sure, but less than half what the normal price was for Muradin, alliance side). I also got enough tokens to buy everything(full permanent set of regalia, pet, goggles, BOTM and pony keg) which meant that, for my last Direbrew run, I was able to make it a proper barfight(killing a dwarf in a bar, with a tankard and a broken bottle, a little help from some random people, and all of us completely smashed).
I gotta say, I really loved Brewfest this year, even if I didn't quite get everything I wanted.

I got the trinkets I wanted on my Shaman, quite handy since he just dinged 80. I managed to get my Brewfest Ram and the remote. Getting the Title was easy, as I had the gear sitting in my bank from last year.
Thery Oct 6th 2009 8:07AM
I stopped mucking about with the coins as I lost interest in that. I was after the Brewfest gear!
I got everything but the Ram or the Kodo. Never dropped. But I have plenty of gear now for when I ding 80. ;)
Dragundam Oct 6th 2009 8:14AM
I got Brewmaster on my mains, xp buffed from 78 all the way to 80, and nice starter trinkets. No kodos. No rams. No reason to ever touch that holiday again. The drinking, belching, and puking was gross and the tipsy/drunk/smashed spam coupled with the annoying music and chatter kept me away from most cities as much as I could.
Kinda weird that it was easier and faster for me to get a Netherwing Drake than to get a kodo or a ram. :/

Agreed entirely. This is the most obnoxious holiday in WoW, and I made a point not to do any of its activities or achievements. Same as last year. And that sound bit that plays whenever you go near the Brewfast grounds in a capital is SO annoying. I disabled sound in WoW just so I wouldn't listen to that.
Uzmati Oct 6th 2009 8:16AM
Not only did I get two rams and two remotes but rolled fairly for FOUR Tankards! Now my Shammy and my Rogue have a matched set.
Bloody good Brewfest.
Foxfyr Oct 6th 2009 8:31AM
Tankard is useless as an offhand for your rogue. You'd do more dps with a Librarian's Papercutter.
Accipeter Oct 6th 2009 9:02AM
Maybe he/she just wants the tankards for fun.
