		<description>I refused to put a toe in this area, except for the flight master. I don&#039;t even collect flowers in Icecrown... I don&#039;t know why, I really dislike the zone and the idea of this tournament didn&#039;t appealed to me.
But reading this, it seems I will have to try... I just cannot be in the new raid if I don&#039;t know what jousting is like...

		<description>@Lissanna, right you are, but there are a couple of jousts you have to do along the way to progress up the ladder to make the other goodies available.</description>

		<description>Back when it first arrived, I didn&#039;t even go check the Argent Tournament.  &quot;A tournament, right on Arthas&#039; doorstep?  What a silly idea,&quot; I thought.

But then I found out I could get a Darnassian tabard and an &quot;of Darnassus&quot; title, and there might even be some nice gear there for me too.  So I read up on things a bit more, went off to the Argent Tournament to learn to joust, and just couldn&#039;t do it.  My fingers simply couldn&#039;t dance between 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 and the movement keys the way they had to and I kept on losing horribly.  I&#039;d end up on 0 health and my opponent would be sitting smugly at 95% health on his or her horse.

One match away from throwing in the towel completely and never coming back to the Argent Tournament, I tried meleeing my opponent into submission instead of shieldbreaking and charging all over the place.  I still lost, but I had found the One True Way.

Now, many annoying matches later I have learned how to joust (sort of) and am &quot;Shukeralle of Darnassus.&quot;

I might even go for the Sproutling next.  :)</description>

		<description>I feel your pain!  My husband took to jousting right away, but it&#039;s always been difficult for me.  That said, I don&#039;t hate the Argent tournament dailies - I just...kind of...avoided them.  *Sigh*  With the new content coming out, though, every day my fingers twitch a little closer towards sending my main off to the tourney for some jousting.  At the very least, I want my own little squire!

		<description>I&#039;m one of those people. I&#039;m a fairly good player and learn very quickly, but after trying Jousting the first week, I&#039;ve thrown in the towel and given up on the pets, the mounts, and the titles, despite already being exalted with all five factions and being a mount collector. 

I just can&#039;t do it and no amount of people telling me &quot;It&#039;s easy if you do this or that&quot; can solve that. I hate it, I hate it more than vehicle combat.

I&#039;ve taken the news of &quot;You have to joust as part of this instance as&quot; Oh hey look, Bliz is forcing us to use their crappy designed new combat crap again.

My guildlings are telling me they&#039;ll probably be able to four man it. I&#039;ll give it one or two tries, if I can&#039;t do it and they can&#039;t carry me through it I&#039;m simply going to tell them to take another healer to that instance.

		<description>Mmmm, yeah you&#039;ve gotta be good if you&#039;re going to be jousting in lag. Beating those champions in under a minute yet Sylly (before your mount refresh...refreshes)? /poke.

Man all this exciting stuff coming. Le sigh.</description>

		<description>Whilst I can joust, I hate it from the bottom of my heart and really really wish they would stop adding these vehicle fights to instances. If I wanted to play a three button class I would have rolled a dpser :P</description>
