This week’s Blog Azeroth Shared Topic comes to us from Dragonray of Azerothian Life, who wonders:
What is in game that you want, but you can’t have? Is there an animal you want to tame, a critter you want to collect, a tabard that has the perfect design for a transmog set etc etc.
What is it you want, but know you can’t get your hands on and have to stare at longingly whenever you log in?
I want a Black Wedding Dress to mope around in during Love is in the Air and Hallow’s End.
Erinys’ post about wanting to look like the humans in Old Southshore reminded me of something that I want out of Old Hillsbrad:
I would love to have this fellow’s gorgeous robe, a combination of the Black Velvet Robes and the Aurora Robe.
I want Top Hats for everyone! Yes, I know the High Society Top Hat tailoring pattern apparently does exist in the game — but it’s a low percentage drop from some creatures that are rare even for silver dragons.
More than that, I want the appearance of the Top Hat on female characters to look like the cute little hat-with-veil worn by Gilnean NPCs such as Gwen Armstead and by the Dwarf Cannary Caskshot.
When I rolled Kymberlea and first met Gwen, I hoped that Lord Walden’s Top Hat would look like HER hat on my female character, and I was sadly disappointed when it didn’t.
I wanted the Swift Zhevra mount, but I couldn’t quite justify the expense of a third account (because BTH and I already made two accounts in our household) just to get it. I tried RAFing BTH’s sister and one of his co-workers, but neither of them got interested enough in the game to pay for even two months of subscription 😦 Then after the news came that the Swift Zhevra would be going away, by the time I finally convinced myself that I could RAF myself and then just let the third account lapse after a three-month subscription, I’d waited too long and it was already gone.
So now I want to tame a Zhevra with my hunter, and I can’t do that, either!
And if that Goblin Mini Hotrod is the reward for the next iteration of RAF, as I suspect it might be, then this time around I will RAF myself to get it!
Kamalia et alia 
Good post, i wanted the zhevra mount too, but what i found out is that there is a mount like that in the argent tournament grounds. Only sold by the high elves on the alliance side.
Yes, I noticed that quite a while ago — but I play mostly Horde, and I wanted the Zhevra for one of my BLOOD Elves. And I’m pretty sure that I read somewhere that mounts won’t transfer cross-faction in Mists. *sigh*
Such a shame pets can but mounts can’t 😦
Well, as far as I know, at least, they can’t 😦
And it would take some doing just to get even my highest level Alliance character — currently 61 — to level 77 to *start* the Tournament, let alone the month of dailies to get to Exalted with the Silver Covenant and the remaining days to get to 100 seals to buy a mount. But that would be a nice big chunk of levels to contribute to 2012 in 2012… 😛
I know, I wanted the Swift Zhevra so much but refused to make another account for it which makes no sense at all considering all the character transfers and race changing I’ve done and now it’s too late 😦
Yeah, I’ve spent so much money on server transfers and faction changes and whatnot that now, the expense of a temporary third account really seems rather minor 😛

I don’t know if I could justify getting a second account but if there’s a chance at the mini hotrod…my mount lust knows no bounds!
I can’t wait to find out how that mount will actually be obtained, because I’m willing to do just about whatever it takes!
1337 PvP would be too much, though.
