I don't RP in WoW, but I'd have to say, gnomish technology makes a convenient excuse for just about anything.

Dungeon finder? Personal portal device. Person from DF drops group or doesn't show up? Malfunctioning personal portal device. Summonable mounts? Gnomish technology at its finest.

This reminds me of an event I hosted years ago, the Exposition for Excellence in Engineering (E3, heh). You basically would use in-game items and effects to RP a sales pitch and/or demonstration of your amazing new invention.

It went over fairly well, though not as well as it would have in my server's RP heyday.

Either gnomish technology - or trollish voodoo. It really depends on the direction of your RP setting.

My gnome's mechanostrider would fold out of a suitcase much like Iron Man's portable armor suit.
