Does anyone have a "guide" to getting the required rep, the fastest possible? With or without Tabard.. questing is by far the fastest, and don't forget daily quests. Also, darkmoon faire can also help. If you're looking to get a tabard, but you're on a server far from home, sell a dupe pet you have...

I'm there, my hatchling was scored a few days ago. Now, on to lil tarecgosa!

Aphinator has changed the invite ability, anyone rank hatchling and above can invite. So, that's like 95% of the guild. If you're looking for an invite, just start asking people, most everyone can invite.

My first pet was a panda. I remember getting it on my very first character, my rogue, and that panda followed me everywhere for a long, long time.

The panda is still one of my favorite pets, all these years later.
