Around Azeroth: The Lorax will not be pleased
Destructive as they might be, wildfires are an important part of the life cycles of forests. They are necessary to clear out dead trees, thin the forest canopy and promote new growth. But you try telling that to a terrified, orphaned treant who has just seen his entire family go up in smoke. Agryus of Vindictive on Draka (US-A), Karcharos of Disciples of Andraste on Sentinels (US-A) and Schade of Goddess on Winterhoof (US-A) all sent in near-identical screenshots of these burned, non-despawning treants in the Firelands.

Yeah, I don't know what bug is causing that, but running dailies for the Shadow Wardens today nearly 'sploded my video card.

Watch that same terrifed, orphaned treant become a billionaire philanthropist by day and a terrifying crime-fighter by night.

Or maybe I should say fire-fighter.

One of my guildies freaked out when he saw a similar scene... none of us believed him "There's gotta be 10,000 burning treants!"... so we told him to screenshot it and put it on our guild website... we were very surprised >.> Our speculation is that it's someone's Boomkin 2pc bonus gone awry. Wtb confirmation

I actually had forgotten about the tier piece. However, since it only happens in that area, I think there might be another explanation. The Druids of the Flame also summon burning treants occasionally. Beforehand, they just despawned, but I think somehow they won't despawn. Its rather odd Blizzard hasn't fixed this yet. I'm still playing on my old laptop until all the parts for my new computer come in, and until then, I am working at 1 fps and only music (no fighting sounds) on the lowest graphics settings...yeah, its annoying.
