Breakfast Topic: What's your WoW New Year's resolution?

The new year is a great time to set some personal goals. In real life, last year I wanted to eat healthier and get engaged to my long-time girlfriend. Did both of those, so yay! This year, I think it'll probably be not to spend so much damn money all the time or at least have a tighter budget. (We'll revisit this next year and see how unsuccessful I am.)
In WoW, my New Year's resolution last year was to raid more. I had taken a break of regular raiding because of the demands of the site here, so I (in my mind, at least) had a good excuse. I didn't immediately return to raiding last year, but I eventually did find a group in October, landing in a great guild on a low-pop server. We're not a top 100 guild or anything, but we know how to raid heroic modes, and I'm pretty happy.
This year, I think my New Year's resolution will be to get all the tier sets on my warlock, if for no other reason than to say that I have them for myself and my obsessive transmogging. I bet that'll take me just about a year.
What's your WoW New Year's resolution?
Early morning edit:
Ghostcrawler posted this in the forums early this morning. What better way to ring in the new year than with WoW's resident crustacean making his first non-standard forum appearance in well over a year:
Ghostcrawler

Could this mean a return of Ghostcrawler to the forums and a daily dose of designer insight? We don't know, but that could certainly make for an interesting 2012!

New Year's resolution: 1920x1080

Good one. I am looking into getting a new monitor, so that could be my new resolution too ;) (Yes, I am on a big old CRT from like 2001)
Revnah Jan 1st 2012 8:29AM
Mine is along the same lines: I resolve to have a new computer with really good graphics before MoP is released. Got a bit of saving up to do!

My resolution to reach 85 before MoP hits! (no I haven't done it yet...)

MY wow resolution is to keep pushing forward with my guild to reach new heights. Never before have we done so well, gone so far. Im proud to be a part of the greatest guild on Azeroth, - Ysera server, PvE-Horde

My WoW New Year's resolution is to play less WoW. And not to play MoP.

To bad your resolution wasn't to not make moronic posts.
Elmo Jan 1st 2012 11:52AM
My resolution is to get myself to cancel my subscribtion since I dont play that much anymore (Don't have the time for it, not whining at all) but it's hard to let go :(
petermcdonald Jan 1st 2012 7:57PM
I don't see anything moronic about this response.
Most people who read this sight probably have wow/life balance issues, myself included. It seems reasonable to make such a resolution if you worry that you do.

I think the moronic part was the second sentence, not the first.
Noyou Jan 1st 2012 8:14AM
Get up earlier in the morning. Oh, wait, my WoW resolution. Run more things with guildies. Having so many toons, I kind of get carried away with them. I need to be more disciplined in my play time.

My gaming resolution is to complete all the games on my steam list - far too many bought and not played at all - got a load of bargains this year, so i'll be busy.
For Wow, I think i should try and meet up with some guildies IRL, since they all live within a half hours drive

It could also be read that he is thinking of stepping down?
Not saying this is good or bad just saying.

notice which letter are blue and which are white... if you are colorblind, only the bottom line "Troll, - GC" is blue, the rest is some random person on the forum.
He's responding with one very appropriate word to the ranting trollpost. :D

The articulate part of the post wasn't GC, the one-syllable grunt was.
Thoroughly agree, worse things could happen to WoW than an end to GC's Reign of Error.

My WoW New Year's resolution will be to have at least one of each class at level 85 before MoP hits. Shouldn't be too hard, I've already got 6 classes there (I did have 7, but I deleted it to start over from scratch ...)
Lemons Jan 1st 2012 9:03AM
My new year's resolution is to comment on every single WoW Insider post. EVERY SINGLE POST.
Just kidding.
...or am I?
missemilyblack Jan 1st 2012 9:06AM
I like this resolution!
boil.san Jan 1st 2012 9:11AM
