"Blackrock Spire
- The Scarshield Quartermaster is properly flagged as a quest NPC and not a rare spawn."

While I can understand a number of fixes and other, miscellaneous changes, I'm merely slightly confused as to why, after so many years, NOW this was suddenly addressed?

Was it causing 'behind-the-scenes' problems? It just seems so ludicrously random, otherwise. A bit of spit and polish is great, no complaints here, but if they were going to alter things like this why wouldn't they do a whole bunch of them at once instead?

"Hey Steve, this is the new guy, Asok. I'm showing him around the office. Got anything for him to work on, to get his feet wet?"

"Hi, Asok, welcome to Blizzard. Hm...oh hey, the Scarshield Commander is displaying as the wrong NPC type. It's like a 5 minute fix, but they've had me working on 4.3 stuff since 4.1 was released. Go sit with Jim, he'll walk you through the change."

"Thanks, Steve."

"No problem. By the way, tell Jim he doesn't owe me for lunch now. He'll understand."

Ha! Sounds like something that you'd see in a Dilbert comic. Maybe it's just because you used the name 'Asok' as an example.

Either way, good stuff. =)

Silverdragon kept going off whenever I zoned into BWD. SUPER annoying.
