Complete mini games for mounts, companion pets and transmogrification gear, or profession skill points
It is an entirely optional event for cosmetic gain only

Oh wow, really? i did not know that. Thanks for the info! ^^ might aswell start my darkmoon faire this week and see what i can get lol.

"might aswell start my darkmoon faire this week and see what i can get lol."

Well, you'll want to wait until 4.3. The Darkmoon Faire on live is much different and, well...basically it sucks. That's why they're changing it to this, much more awesome, event.

Well you can start this week if you want but it is only going to be worth doing in patch 4.3 when they add all the mounts, pets and mini-games ;)
Up until now the most people used it for was Darkmoon Cards and a rep faction

Lol, thanks guys. i will definitely way until 4.3 then, cause i just saw the bear mount and it looks Amazing!. And also i want my dreamwalker set for my druid... xD

Yes, completely optional content that's merely cosmetic.

Now, if you'll excuse me, as a pet and mount collector, I'm going to be prepping for this "optional" content that I'm compelled to do to keep my collections complete.

lol, Right on brother, might join you on that haha. Might aswell use those companions for the new expansion ^^

From what I've seen though the quests and mini games are still grindy as heck. Only wack a gnoll is any fun, everything else? Meh.

I expected more from you at this point Blizzard. It's the same old DMF quests, just... prettier. Can't I have neat rewards that are fun to earn? Or do I have to go kill 250 creatures to get 10 stupid tickets?

Merely cosmetic?!? You can raise your professions and secondary skills there, too!
