> [@Mogle](#): > > Yep, still, I wonder how they managed to convince the other Night Elves to accept them, especially since Malfurion Stormrage will be back as well. It was probably something along the lines of “look, you’ve been fighting alongside races who use magic like candy for years now and it’s been proven time and again to be just as useful in fighting your enemies as anything else. If anything you’ve seen that t3h ev1lz is person dependent, not magic.” Malfurion: “Yeah, sure, why not? Welcome back!” ---

(Reminds me of a time I was discussing how bored Thrall must be with the endless stream of death knights comming to cement the bond with the Horde, ‘for the first time’. The response that had me laughing: “It’s like dinner theater for Thrall. Something a little different every time, plus some salad to make it palatable.”) ---

> [@ArrMatey](#): > > What intrigues me (and I comment on it whenever I’m in the tram and there are others around) is that the path is obviously north-south (with slight deviation), and yet the minimap and directionals show you going in a straight east-west direction. Confusing, really, but I tend to chalk it up to goblin tech (At first I thought it was gnomish, but after reading how the goblin cities supposedly link, I suspect the whole thing may be green-skin manufacture.) Well… see… the trams are pushed via magnetism in the rails. This makes your compass go bonkers. ---

Before, the only people who came to talk to him were the lowbies heading to Skull Rock and Ragefire Chasm. ---

The response that had me laughing: “It’s like dinner theater for Thrall.

The replies were much as you might expect 😃 Best one, though was “Read your quest log. That’s what it’s there for.” ---

Yeah, I guess it’s more fruit salad than actual salad, but hey, it works. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wow-why-did-nobody-tell-me-about-this/507323.md?page=2)
