Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

As a Tauren, that orange buff makes my problem with doors even "larger" (haha, lame pun)
Still, the buff is just too cool to cancel. Gonna stock up on at least 2 full stacks of candy on the last day of Hallow's End.

I had to laugh the other day, as a player who was hated with Booty Bay got themselves stuck in the Inn at Mudsprocket. He'd run forward a bit, the guards would shoot and he'd be knocked back in. And they kept shooting so he couldn't hearth. And the shots weren't doing enough damage to kill him in a reasonable amount of time. He was begging for someone to help kill the guards so he could get out.

Nevermind the candy buff, I had to get a wolf just to fit through most doors as a Tauren. The bloodelf mount would probably work too, but a Tauren riding a turbo turkey just seems wrong in so many ways.

No... the chocobos make the height problem *worse*. I love my red/blue chocobo, but when I mount up, the damn thing DOUBLES IN SIZE from a normal one (no really, buy one, then stand right next to the ones being sold), so there's even more horns lodging in doorframe action. Really the only thing that seems to work is the wolf and the broom, and the broom goes away next week. T_T

My druid had the same problem with the orange buff. Even when she changed into kitty form and was less than half the size of the SW bank doors, she still couldn't get through.

And this is why WoW should have a 'crouch' button!

Geez man, bunny hoppers is last thing we need for this game.

Draenei + Mammoth + Stormwind Tunnels = Help! I'm Stuck!

Actually even a night elf female gets stuck while trying to ride to trading district from portal chamber. No love for mammoths :(

Orange buff + Female Tauren + mount up on drake, kodo, or raptor. *roars and starts stomping buildings and laughing maniacally* ...And then get trapped in one of the 'human-sized' instances like Scarlet Monastery. -_-*

There used to be a Tauren warrior on our realm that got all those buffs including I think two buffs from Sen'jin witchdoctor. He was almost as tall as the Org Bank building.

When I'm big and orange, I only get through thanks to blink on my Draenei mage. Ironforge in general tends to be a pain for me anyhow. Horns like to get me stuck. -_-;

I just discovered that as a blood elf on a venomhide ravasaur (go get one, they're awesome), I can't run through the doors at the top of the UC elevator. Fun times.

This 'buff' is hilarious. Especially when combined with some winterfall firewater or a gigantic feast. XD

First, about size. Play a tauren. We can't even get into Undercity on our mounts. Hell, back in the days of Naxx raiding, you better hope you weren't riding a Proto-Drake. You can't fit in those doors on a proto. About 90% of the doorways in Dalaran cannot be entered on any mount. You can't even mount-run into Bunkers in AV and hope for a delayed auto-dismount.
Second, about hugeness. Tauren + orange candy + winterfall firewater + bloodlust + proto-drake. I did this over the well in Dalaran. Wingspan touched the bank building. The body of the drake itself was the width of the entire drake without size increases.
Do it before the holiday runs out. You won't regret it.

When I saw the picture, I thought it was me, because this very thing happened to me, the other day. Then, I spotted the dual "Edge of Ruin" axes...I have only one. Still...
I did finally figure out to click off the buff, but I didn't want to...so, I went to Wintergrasp, stood in the lineup to enter, and shouted to everyone that "No, I was not a trans-racial in trans, but I was undergoing roid-rage! Curse that pumpkin pusher!!"

My poor troll has to dismount from her raptor to use the UC elevator. However, my draenei paladin is able to get in places on her class mount that she couldn't if she were riding an elekk.
WTB a /duck emote. If you don't have anyone targeted, you see "You duck!" along with the appropriate animation. If you have someone else targeted it just says "You tell Bob to duck!", no animation (just for RP and other goofiness, sort of like /flee!). That would solve so many problems!

Actually I remember the entrance of the Blue Recluse in Stormwind being rather difficult to traverse for a 'normal' male Night Elf, because of there being a small step right at the door frame. Depending on luck/manual dexterity/status of inebriation it used to take me a good number of tries at times to get in there.
