Around Azeroth: A room with a view
Owlbear of on Shandris (US-A) always looks on the bright side. While falling to her death after a blast from Rohash, she managed to snag a nice panoramic shot of the Throne of the Four Winds. She later sued Al'Akir for not providing adequate safety railings in his palace.

Safety railings!?
Have you EVER gone up any tower at all - say for instance in Cenarion Refuge?
No railings.
The Tower of Azhora?
No railings.
Mage tower in SW?
No railings.
Elevator shafts in Orgrimmar?
Well, a lot of criss-crossing chains - but NO RAILINGS.
In a goblin run town I can be okay with "Warning! One Bad step = death!"-signs, but in any civilised surroundings No Railing means:
No Noobs.
Coming to think of it, that's probably exactly what the Al'Akir is all about. Says he, who managed to fall off a cliff in Outland with every single toon ...
Well, ya'll know ...
Elitist is just a mindset.

I get latency.
That mage tower is IMPOSSIBLE to get up.
I've actually had times where it takes me over 30, 40, maybe even 50 tries to get up that ramp!!!!

I applaud Owlbear's dedication and presence of mind.

I really wish that area had been expanded to be somewhere you can explore or quest. That was the one thing that pulled me in when I saw the Cataclysm trailer, then all the news came down that it was just a stupid dungeon and a raid.
Thanks, Blizzard.

Ignored, because every single comment I've ever seen from you has been trollbait, asshattery, or straight up bitching.

@Stella: Hmm, yes, as opposed to a questing location on the ground, mm, that's an idea that's not been done before. That's *so* much more original. /eyeroll
Stella's comment here isn't so much trollbait or asshattery, although the sarcastic phrasing ensures we know it was meant to be. The problem is that the objection its based on is moronic. The fact that Stella then tried to look clever by using sarcasm to express it just makes it look that much stupider...

In the words of Batty Koda: Gravity works.
Stunning shot!
