Usually, if you wait until the last day, anything you need cooperation for is hard to get as most people get their achievements done early on. But sometimes, it's easier if you are all fighting for the same greench. What has been your experience?
| Yes. Just call me Merrymaker. | |
|---|---|
| No. Just call me Procrastinator. | |
| I had no goals. Just call me Scrooge. | |
| Whatever. Just show me the results. |

My only goal this year, since I already did everything in years before, was to get the new present: Mini-Zep, acquired! :D

Wasted several hours in battlegrounds trying to get stupid helper achievement, didn't get credit for single kill.
Realized I'm never going to get any of the pvp related achievements for the year, let alone the proto-drake, so now I don't give a crap about holidays. PVP can die in a fire.
Scrooge it is.

I remembered to pick up my presents on four characters. That was pretty much my Winter's Veil goal.
Maccabeus Jan 2nd 2011 1:34PM
I had the gourmet and little helper achievements left. Got the gourmet the first day after being one cooking level shy last year >.< The little helper got me a little sidetracked for a while, but I queued for Wintergrasp yesterday and had fun slaughtering 80s in my heroic blues. Got my last 6 HKs, so call me Merrymaker Maccabeus, in all its alliterative glory.

I was going to go around picking up the zeppelin on my major characters. Unfortunately authentication server is continuing to scrooge me.

I got Merrymaker on my Shaman (the toon I really wanted it for), but all the rest of my alts fell victim to all the family stuff around christmas. Normally when I miss stuff just because I couldn't be bothered to do it I get annoyed, but this time I'm pretty content with my decision to spend mindless hours watching Star Trek with my family rather than spending mindless hours trying to find (insert race/class combo here).

Seeing as I'd finished my goals for the event almost years ago now; yes, I'd say I reached my "goals." I opened my presents for free food and a toy, then went back to digging for rocks.

No! All i have been getting from the MerryMaker guys when i /kiss is mistletoe for 3 years! Finally got some Snowflakes for my main but not until 2 days ago. So of course all the Horde were hiding and i couldn't complete the achievement.
Cahira Jan 2nd 2011 5:22PM
theres a macro to kiss both at once and double your chances per hour...probably doesnt help you to know that now...
Carson Jan 2nd 2011 3:22PM
Yes, I achieved all my Winter's Veil goals.. two years ago. Give us something new!
Cahira Jan 2nd 2011 5:21PM
i got my goal of doing all 7 alts, with in the first few days even so i didnt have to worry about it...now once i get them lunar festival and v-day done they all get free 310% flying. my 2 mains already ave it.
Ez Jan 2nd 2011 5:36PM
mind sharing it?
bldavis59 Jan 2nd 2011 6:13PM
Yes i did, and i now have my violet proto to prove i have no life.....lol
i used to think it was godawful ugly until i got one of my own
it replaced my albino drake as my main mount
Vincent Jan 2nd 2011 10:49PM
Yes, but my goal was to make gold off the holiday, not get the achievement. As pretty as the purple drake is, I just couldn't bring myself to go do the meta.
Emophia Jan 3rd 2011 7:58PM
ye, it was lame because I had to level up cooking from 0 to 325 for that last recipe you have to make but i got it in the end.
