The problem with sci-fi elements is that they just don’t fit into high-fantasy. A little girl with a .09mm Glock could blow away Arthas or your level 70 Warlock. A Taliban terrorist with a shoulder-launched stinger missile would make quick work of Onyxia.

And, are you trying to tell me that individuals can fly around on helicopters, or that Ironforge can launch prop planes every five minutes, but no one has yet thought of employing these machines to transport huge armies and war machines to capital cities? Or how about mounting firearms on the helicopter and launching raids on the enemy base in Warsong Gulch? Flying all the way over Alterec Valley and just bombing the enemy general’s HQ?

These tech elements are jarring in a fantasy setting.
