@ Eldoron

A roleplaying game is just like a book: many characters which have different minds and thoughts about a number of subjects. The story of warcraft is driven by those characters. If they don't think (well, ofcourse they don't cuz theyre pixels, but hey, book characters are just letters!) the story is going nowhere and ur just off killing some bad people and dragons without any reason whatsoever. that just seems really boring and it takes out the essence of a roleplaying game like WoW.

So why Anne and the other KYL writers are saying 'wut are they thinking', is because the developers of the game gave them a mind and their own history. Much like writers do with their book characters. It's like a book.
