WTB more dailies

Hallow's End
I am really happy to see Blizzard try and add more incentive to participate in World Events, post hot pink Violet Proto Drake. It's a nice move to keep gamers doing some of these "traditions". Saving a town from fire, trick or treating around Azeroth. It's all tedious and time consuming. Towns are harder to save because no one helps out anymore, even during high activity times. I mean, why would someone do a bunch of mindless tasks that are time consuming, if there is no reward except some candy or Rickety Broom mount. 
Easy..add pets. Pets that can be purchased by a currency only earned by trick or treating, saving towns, doing mindless, time consuming tasks.
Because heavens know that I will be running around, doing Hallow's End crap to get the two pets they added. Yes please! I want my Celestial Dragon!
Traditions get old
I'm sure some people might find nostalgia from doing the same tasks (desecrating flames, saving towns from fires). There are little traditions I enjoy too. Flying on a broom, opening presents on Christmas morning. But some things, specifically bosses, get old. Although Direbrew boss is tolerable, fights like Ahune and the Headless Horseman are just damn well annoying. But alas, I must do them if I want a mount. I don't really expect them to change the fights completely, and considering there's nothing else to do in that mini dungeon-fight, I can't complain too much for doing a 3 minute fight. At least they've been updating the loot over the years.
Dailies
For the first time in...forever, I have been maxing out on dailies, and still have tons more to do. This is the result of a couple of things.
1. Molten Front dailies are like.....15-17 dailies depending on how many vendors you have opened. I have just one vendor to open before I am free from the obligation of doing them daily.
2. I am working on BC rep. I have been doing a couple dailies for Netherwing, although I am mostly focusing on just searching for Netherwing eggs, simply out of laziness. However, during my normal route, I pick up a few dailies to get the added rep.
3. Hallow's End now takes up about 5 dailies as well. And considering they added incentive, by adding currency and more fun items (pets, a wickerman, Flying Broom), I must complete them!
4. The other dailies. Cooking (trying to get the achievement), and Jewelcrafting are a must each day (gotta save for epic patterns)
5. Argent Tournament. As a result of the faction change, my druid lost ALL of her titles and standings with the Argent Tournament. While I was initially upset, this will force me to earn some more crusader tokens so I can buy mounts, which I need.
This is well over 25 dailies and I am usually doing dailies and then realizing I cannot turn them in. I don't like feeling like I need to pick and choose. Once I finish Molten Front next week, I won't feel so constrained. I might just do the few that get me to objectives I need for achievements. Also on the home stretch for Netherwing, and then I can focus on Sha'tari Skyguard or Argent Tournament.
Mount Goals
I am officially attempting to reach the 100 mount goal. I am currently at 76 mounts, with a bunch of mounts heading my way thanks to Netherwing. Once I finish that, I will focus on Argent Tournament so I can buy the racial mounts.
Tonight
Tonight, it's back to Firelands. I am going to a pseudo LAN party at our GM's house. It's one of the perks of playing with people you know, and our in the area. :)
Tomorrow
BLIZZCON! Omg! I am so excited! I have no idea what to expect, but I think it's going to be a blast! :D
