^ Indeed.
Having played a Priest and Moonkin before, I'm happy to make people water / food -
so long as they're polite.
"gief water" gets nothing, "could you make me some water please" gets a few stacks. For stuff that requires reagents, I'll do it for the cost of those.
Finally, the cast time on Pyroblast is 6 seconds... I know it is to make Pyroblast fair (as the damage is incredibly high), but it just seems so long as you are waiting for the bar to fill to begin casting your spell. I have leveled a mage with Pyroblast for a long, long time, but I can never get over how long it takes.I don't mind the long cast, but I think it should get a graphic upgrade. Kael'thas anyone? ^^

Alot of things that have already been mentioned...
Hate getting requests for biscuits or food/water from random people with no gratitude. And I really hate getting requests for portals from people in completely different zones than me.... Like when I'm in Shadowmoon and I get a request for a port to Org from a guy in Tanaris.... People who break my sheep after marking it, and then yelling at me for not sheeping really irks me. And rogues... yes the rouges.... why is it so unfair. X_X

the grass is always greener, huh
Mages can make portals only to the major cities and stonard/thera, loks can tele ppl anywhere
mages can teleport any number of people for 1 reagent, to a list of specific places and they don't require helpers:
Locks can summon 1 person per reagent to their current location and they need 2 helpers
A Mages sheep can be broken, a loks fear cant
Sheep can dismount players in BGs, fear can't
Sheep will break on any damage, Fear may break on damage
Sheep will move around a little and rarely aggros other groups in an instance, Fear sends the mob running around lilke mad and can pull multiple extra groups in an instance
Mages may be able to make mana gems, but loks can make soulwells to hand out pots to the whole group and can convert life into mana so basically can make non soulbound mana and health pots while mages can only make soulbound mana pots...
Mages can make soul bound mana pots and non-soul bound food/drink
locks can make non-soul bound health pots
Oh,
mages can Blink away while stunned...Locks just eat it
mages can dump 100% aggro with invisibility with no reagent....locks can dump 50% aggro with a reagent cost
Ice Block
...locks ?????
Water Elemental doesn't need a reagent and doesn't despawn when mage dies...lock pets require reagent(except imp) and despawn on lock death
Enough QQ, the grass is always greener

Apples and oranges, my friend.
We have no problem handing out Arcane Intellect, which is what you really should be comparing Pw:F to. They both don't require a reagent.
Portal and Mage tables do. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of money we need to learn the pre-requisites.
FWIW, I sometimes do give out free Ports. And I have no problem making free food and drinks.
It occurred to me that I'd forgotten the 142g it cost for the books for the last level of food and water. Man. And in some sense if we want to raid we really don't have a choice because its expected that we'll have it. Not complaining really - I don't mind making biscuits for a raid or party - its just another cost of leveling that is generally ignored by other classes.

As a Raiding mage, there are several things which annoy me every single week.
1) Spell Hit: Why is it that I only get 3% Spell Hit from talents? My wife is a raiding warlock with 2 pieces of hit gear and she's almost capped. My friend is an elemental shammy with 0 pieces of hit gear and he's hit capped. It takes me six pieces of gear to hit cap, so I lose all those gear points that could go for spell dmg or crit because Blizzard hates me.
2) Aoe's: What is up with Seed of Corruption? Why is it that a warlock can do equal damage to my flamestrike with an instant cast spell? The only way I can get a higher dmg aoe is to cast blizzard which is channeled. All the while the lock is laughing at me and spamming shadow bolt as their number on the damage meter ticks higher and higher.
3) Cast Times: Why does everything take so long for a mage? Sure we have things which are arguably better: Evocation doesn't drain our health like life tap, invisibility does 100% aggro wipe. But they take FOREVER. In the middle of a boss i don't wanna waste 5 seconds not casting so I can aggro dump. Nor do I wanna wait for my mana to be regenerated. Everyone else gets things that are instant and then they go right back to dps'ing, so why not me?
Wow that's a lot of QQ. In fact, I've been seeing a lot of QQ re: mages vs. warlocks
If you regret playing a mage and think warlocks have it, then reroll but don't QQ. I'm sure if you look in some warlock forums you'll see them QQing about how mages have ice block and they only get soul shatter. Wahhhh....
