An evening or two of camping doesn't bug me. It's when it goes for days... and days ... and days ... and/or someone griefs me alongside it. I saw a guy offer 6k for a Krush kill and a hunter offer 10k for Skoll. Yeah, sorry, I can't cough up 10k gold. I might offer to tip if someone spots it and I tame it, but that tip might include flowers or whatever I find at the bottom of my bags. >_>

Feathermoon's been a fairly awesome server - with the exception of a couple of lugs who shall go unnamed, at least. I kinda liked Scarlet Crusade for being low pop but hey. ;D I like FM so far. Moon Guard just seems a bit crowded. I'm very odd for an MMO player. I tend to prefer medium or low pop servers...

Hey, me too... me too.

I tend to get onto a server (I believe I have characters on 4-5 realms now) when it is new and get a couple of good names and a few reserved... then in like... a month the population has exploded into a High population server on the edge of queue lines.

Lightbringer (my launch server)
Malfurion (my Alliance server)
Aerie Peak
Area 52 (my Horde server)
Nesingwary (my soon-to-be mixed faction hunters, warlock, and DK server)

I need more hunters, IMO.

I know I bring hardships on myself when attempting to camp a rare, but the commons should be their own unique color. I don't think Blizz thought this whole thing out. >.>

*shrugs*

Honestly, In general I see more of the special rares around then I do many of the common skins. Admittedly I've not seen Madexx around. But I see the spirit beats, Sambas, terrorpene pretty often. My hyena has gotten more attention and whispers than any of my spirit beats. Thor (while the rare orange skin) probably comes in second, but most the whispers were asking about what type of pet he was since they've never seen one like that and not about his color.

I guess it is a matter of perspective. My most epic tame story is probably my hyena when I was a newbie night elf and well let me just say it was a long day and oh so worth it in the end. :D

Now I wouldn't be adverse to commons having new colors cause hey the more colors the merrier.

I camped for my blue madexx and my red and my green
yes i earned them
would i object to thers getting them by being able to walk up and say oh look pretty
no
madexx has been a unique problem item
seems some solution had been found but persoonally id be much more in favor of reducing the rare spawn colors of madexx maybe to 2-3 and making the others avail to all
I dont care wich I dont care of they made common a color i camped for
i have plenty of other rares who are unique
there are quite a few rares who are not unique skin
so to want a rare because its a rare is fine
to demand that All rares be unique uncool IMHO because of the problems associated with trying to spot/and tame
I wont kill a rare to keep it rare either
(am guilty of killin non tamables and occasionaly and old world rare that was)
generally tho i prefer to walk away because i never know when someone who wanted some odd bizzar thing like a red (common skin)rare scorpid in tanris will log back in after beign dc'd who want it because it has a history for them or the name caught them
My rare is not Your Rare
i do have alot of rares i camped forever for and TBH i got them because i loved the color/feature in most part
not just because it was rare
While I do appreciate rares bringing new models and color combos to the game
(im still really hoping to see another varient of loque/skin/color/ as well as sambas i wouldnt even mind a more redily avail ver of sambas
i really would like to see so that every model(beast body type) had a minimum of one common spawn and one rare varient pref differnt colors but not req

You are all right about the Madexx issue. I guess I just can't understand why they released him in five different rare colors if they were planning to release common models anyway. Especially since the brown is the same model mount for the Horde, but Sambas has only one tameable version. I know my Madexx IS Madexx, and maybe less people will be camping him now so I can always try again. lol.
