The other night I was in a BG but I was also watching a show on the other monitor so some suggested I was botting. One even asked me if I was a bot so I said “good question my fellow human. I love running bg.exe like any pvper would.” I was kicked.

Running Naxx 10 in Wrath and narrowly getting The Undying achievment.
ToC 10-25 man pugs and guild runs in Wrath, when someone would get hit by Icehowl and we’d still manage to kill him.
10-man Karazhan runs in TBC.
I’m bitter they removed 10 man. Big raids are like herding cats.

Equipping Ashkandi the great sword of the Brotherhood. I still love that sword and use it as transmog on my warrior and hunter

Hmm…
In Vanilla… that first long, terrifying run on foot from Menethil harbor to the (relative) safety of Loch Modan on my level 15-ish night elf. There were people who actually ran semi-regular escort services to take new elves across the wetlands where the crocs and spiders had impressively long aggro ranges.
It seemed like the run took hours, (it actually took maybe 20 minutes or so, just felt longer) and the relief was incredible when we finally stepped out of the tunnel into Loch Modan.
I paid that back some time later by occasionally running my own volunteer escort service across the wetlands when I got enough levels to do so.
The other ones…
Pretty much every time I successfully unlocked flying in each expansion.

When Oondasta would spawn and the realms would start lagging really badly. There was so many people there! I liked things like that in the game I dunno why. I think it was it made me feel like a part of something fun with a lot of other people, there was a sense of togetherness through these sorts of things that made me smile. Oondasta wiped a lot of people.

The one time I did progression raiding. We were not an A level guild at all and I was an arcane mage they let in because no one else was available. I spent all my gold gearing up, enchanting and all that stuff. Spent hours with training dummies as we slowly worked our way to the Lich King.
After nearly 50 wipes and one rage quit we were there. One tank, one healer and two DPS still standing out of the 10 as the raid leader counted down to 10% health. The whooping, hollering and Ventrilo insanity when the cut scene kicked in was amazing.

When I unsubed
Jokes aside it was when I defeated heroic archimonde for the first time. It was my first heroic last boss kill.
It was durikg the last phase of H archimojde when half the group goes into the twisting nether to fight archi while the other half stays at the black gate trying to kill some infernals. During that phase I stayed with the group trying to kill some infernals but something went wrong and some DPS died. The tank was barely alive and healers almost went oom. With just half HP, I saw an infernal approaching a hpally who was unaware of the situation because he was casting holy light like there’s no tomorrow. So I did what I had to do and taunted the infernal. Tried to kite it as much as possible but ended up dead like the others.
So I was there… on the ground watching my teammates struggle to stay alive. I like to think that by saving that healer I also saved some other DPS.
Luckily for us, the other half of the raid came back just in time to rescue those who were still alive and together they defeated archimonde while those who were dead cheered in the chat.

Despite 7 years of playing, I’ve yet to have a wow moment.
Doing the bear runs in Zul’Aman was a cool experience for me. I didn’t even want the mount - I just really enjoyed clearing the raid and beating the timer. I was healing during my guild’s first successful clear, and 3 days later I did another run as a Moonkin (my preferred spec at the time). That gave me a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

Never expect sense of humour from anyone, least in a battleground.
I remember that trek. I did it in the opposite direction, but it was as terrifying. 
I had this feeling raiding the Zereth rares with 40 people, on ground mounts. On ground, it gives you the idea of a massive, albeit motley, army moving as one. The number and diversity of the players and the mounts is exhilarating.
The reason I loved so much Alterac Valley. I love when a MMO really gets massive - in the open world or something really resembling it, like Alterac.

Alterac is more open world than outdoors zones in other games. 
That was sure a WOW moment!

Yes, I remember the first time my guild downed a raid boss, after many wipes and several sessions. We had an in-game night celebration in Goldshire and launched a zillion fireworks over the lake. It was more awesome than even having downed the boss!

This kind of win is unforgettable!
Once in Upper Blackrock Spire, we had a bad pull and tank and 2 DPS died, leaving only healer and me alive. I managed to kill the three mobs who were on the healer, we backtracked with lots of mobs chasing us and I practically tanked for the healer AOEing like mad, until we reconnected with the others and completed the dungeon. Healer said that I was a better tank than the official one.
