With the expansion right around the corner, many of us will be setting new and higher gear goals than the vast majority of what was available B.B.C. (that's Before Burning Crusade, natch). I still have a few items on my list that I craved heavily for a long time that I'm probably no longer going to care about once BC hits -- for my rogue the item I always wanted but never got is the Core Hound Tooth. The first time it dropped for my guild, I was outbid by a hunter who had more DKP than I did. The second time it dropped, I was on vacation and not in the raid for the first time in months of perfect attendance. After that it never dropped when I was in the raid, and to this day my rogue limps along with the Gutgore ripper in his offhand, long after scoring my Perdition's for his main hand. So, what gear dreams do you leave behind as the expansion looms?

Ashkandi... It dropped twice while I was in my guild, and both times went to Pally's with more DKP, then I had to leave the guild as I went off to do my military service... I'm a warrior by the way...

Benediction. Outbitted 3 times, including being outbidden by the guild master on his alt priest, when he suddenly created a new rule that allowed players to use their main's DKP on their alts.
Benediction was the initial reason I choose to play a priest, but.. Damn to hell now. I've got The Eye of Shit and a grudge against loot.

wow #2 that sucks. I was always going after ebony flame gloves and they never dropped until the week after I quit raiding BWL >.

Benediction/Anathema here too, I started raiding on my priest too close to BC release; would've been a great healing staff, alternatively it's also a nice +dmg staff for levelling in the expansion. Oh well..

Zulian Tiger and Hexxer's Cover of Jin'do. Both look damn cool and would fit my character. (playing on a RP server.)

Flameguard gauntlets and Onslaught girdle. Flameguard has never dropped for my guild in 7 months of MC, as for Onslaught it dropped once but I was had to go to my grandmothers funeral so it wasnt that big of a deal to me. I think raiding off time(1pm central) sucks and the loot rotation is all screwy.

This may sound dumb, but for me it was my Wildheart chest and shoulders. (I'm more or less a casual player. ) I've gone on more than 25 UBRS runs and i've only seen my chest piece drop once, likewise I've probably done 17-19 LBRS runs for my shoulders with the same result.
But, with the PvP rewards my chest and shoulders were the first thing I replaced. The only reason to even try to get them now is to finish the .5 questline.

Draconian Deflector.
I'm one of our guilds second-string MTs, but I am a parent of a two year old and I work a lot, so I wasn't ever able to do MC or Ony or AQ40. Once we started raiding ZG and AQ20, good shields became easier to get, at least in theory. It seemed every time I went to UBRS, it wouldn't drop, and everytime I didn't go, it would drop. The one time the planets were in line and it dropped when I was there, a shaman in our guild, also who wasn't ready for MC with any regularity, rolled need with me. He won.
So now I'm bidding on the Skullflame shield in an effort to ditch the horrible Milli's Shield. It's not a bad shield, it's just hideously ugly. Skullflame is no Draconian, but at least it's a burning skull.

All I wanted was the Warblades of the Hakkari for my hunter. The main hand atleast dropped EVERY time I went to ZG. I was in guild that used a roll system. Got beat out, by hunters, rogues, and warriors. And once had it handed to another hunter just because he didnt have an epic weapon (neither did I).

On my warrior, all I've ever wanted is a better two-handed weapon. For about six months I've been using Obsidian Edged Blade, which is not awful, but I've pretty much capped out my melee damage without getting a weapon upgrade for months. I'm the only arms warrior in both my MC raid and my BWL raid, but that hasn't seemed to matter. I've lost bids on Sulfuras Hand of Ragnaros (to a paladin), The Untamed Blade (to a paladin), Ashkandi (to a paladin), Spinal Reaper (to a fury warrior) and Bonereaver's Edge (to a protection warrior). You can say "L2saveDKP" all you want, but when you join raids late in the game (when they've already progressed halfway through the instance by the time you're invited), there's really no way to catch up DKP-wise.

I made a wish list of gear from MC and BWL 7 months ago when I started raiding, a combination of 5/8 Nightslayer and 3/8 Bloodfang, plus Perdition's Blade and Corehound Tooth, and I just got the laast piece, Bloodfang Spaulders, from our first Chromaggus kill last week. Pretty awesome timing.
Hunter getting CHT over a rogue, pally getting Ashkandi over a warrior, alt priest getting the Eye over a main, sounds like some of you guys have some terrible loot rules, or maybe just assholes who don't follow them.

The rest of the Lightforge, and subsequently, the Soulforge and their quests.
The rest of Lawbringer.
The rest of the Freethinker's Set.
The rest of the Judgment set.
The Avenger's Set.
Lok'Ammir, Sulfuras, the Dragon Crest Shield, the Herald of Woe, the Zandalarian Hero Charm, and the Shard of the Fallen Star.
I also wanted to see the rest of AQ 20, ZG, BWL, AQ 40, and Naxx. :(

Rhok'Dekar. Or however the fuck you spell it. And to think once upon a time I was willing to pay 500 gold to persuade a raid guild to take me along to loot the Leaf and the Sinew...
Now I'll just go get a better bow in Outland.

Thunderfury.
I've had the binding off Baron Geddon in my bags since September of 2005. Garr simply refused to give up the other half for over 6 months and I haven't raided in a while now...
Ah well.
