Breakfast Topic: The one missing item in World of Warcraft
This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW.com.
We all have our favorite in-game items, be it our uber T10 gear, our Zulian Tiger mount or our Diamond-Tipped Cane. But sometimes, we can't find what we want in game. We know what it is, search around for it, check the websites, but nothing quite fits the description. All our research leads back to the same sad conclusion: what we want simply doesn't exist in Azeroth. We resign ourselves to move on without it and harbor the hope it will appear in the next patch or expansion.
What do I want in Cataclysm? I just want a pizza.
I don't even care about the toppings. It can be thin crust, cheese-only, out of the grocer's freezer for all I care. Maybe my Chicago upbringing is coloring my perception here, but I just think that in such a vivid, exciting world with so much to offer, it is inexcusable that the most universally consumed dish in western civilization is not represented anywhere. I have scrolled through all 466 items listed in Wowhead's Food & Drinks category, searching for anything that might meet the bare minimum criteria of what in my mind constitutes pizza, but for naught. We have defeated Old Gods, dragon aspects, even the Lich King ... But not one of us has ever even had a slice of pepperoni and cheese.
I, for one, lament this glaring dietary omission in our otherwise amazing world. Whether it's crafted with our own cooking skill or an Innkeeper's Special, enough to feed the raid (à la Fish Feast) or by the slice, we just need to see it somewhere. C'mon, Blizzard. Let us have our pie.
Is there something you think absolutely should be in game somewhere, but currently isn't? Something whose absence, to you, just seems to stick out like a sore thumb? Something that may seem trivial to others, but would put an all-day smile on your face if it appeared in Cataclysm?

Dogs. Like, y'know, real dogs. I am only too glad that they are being introduced in Cataclysm. I love do-

Perky pug is sad.
Anuillae Jul 8th 2010 8:20AM
Oh... oh yeah... that's true.
I guess that it technically a dog. Although I never think of dogs when I see the Pug.
Duulket Jul 8th 2010 8:49AM
When I see the pug I think of Frank from Men in Black
Erzfiend Jul 8th 2010 9:00AM
When I see a pug I think of all the old folks who shop at the store I work at. They so droopy!
Rachel Jul 8th 2010 9:12AM
If they have the perky pug they should have a magnificent mastiff. Or bungling beagle, or loopy labrador. So many possibilities!
Superthrust Jul 8th 2010 9:31AM
Youre going to love the beta. A little known and very little discussed fact is that there are going to be Mastiff's now.
on that note, Adam! Rossi! Robin! I got my beta invite finally! Apparently they entitled me to a "media pass" as well to blizcon but it is being confirmed right now.
I got a bunch of coverage and such on my website! I hope it brings alot more people.
But anyways, thanks guys! You told me to be persistant!
Hope to see you in game! I am either Superthrust or Aggronaut...or something. (i am on pve and pvp servers.

I know that it's clearly a wolf model, but I still think of Kyle as the game's one true dog.

Some showers. After 4 years in plate warriors tend to get a little "fragrant".
Anuillae Jul 8th 2010 8:08AM
Well, there's those funny little wooden boxes around some of the Argent Tournament arena-things. I dont know if they're showers or not, but they always looked like little porta-showers to me
Hasufein Jul 8th 2010 8:08AM
Note that 4 years refers to my time in WoW, not to the existence period of the game.
Hasufein Jul 8th 2010 8:09AM
@ Anuillae
Perhaps,
Trust blizz to put porta-showers in the middle of a frozen wasteland

Get naked and go jump around in a nice secluded stream a few times. Fresh and clean!
TonyMcS Jul 8th 2010 9:06AM
Finally, an AOE smell for the warrior called Fragancy
eccentricforms Jul 8th 2010 5:14PM
Aww shucks. Was I not supposed to be bathing in the local moonwell? How about all the nice pockets of hot springs in Borean Tundra? You just have to share them with oil spills, gorlocs, elementals and some scourge is all.
