World of Warcraft things that you wonder about?

1. How come if everyone is flying around on Griffons, ect, the world is not covered with giant bird crap?

2. How realisitic is it that a cloth bag costs 10x more then a decent sword? I know the programers of the game did this so people can't max out inventory from the start, but come on.

3. Why do the Undead need to worry about breathing underwater... or eating... or being poisoned... or being diseased...

4. Why is it distance rather than line-of-sight that determines if you're attacked? ("Gee, those adventurers are really pummelling Brother Arcellus over there! I swear, if they get 20 yards closer I'm going to do something about it!")

5. How come I can carry around cold milk for days and it stays cold?

6. Who keeps banging that drum everytime I accept a quest?

7. How come there are rivers, but it never rains?

8. How do the boats float around by themselves?

9. Why don't pigeons ever soil the statues in Stormwind? Easy targets.

In the Beta, they didn't. It was pretty cool. Undead PCs would hang out in the pools in the Wetlands and spring on people unawares. It was handy to have a Paladin with Detect Undead.

But then they pussed out and declared the Undead no longer had the Undead type, and now all the Undead PCs are technically NOT Undead, so they don't have the same qualities as Undead NPCs.

There's no weather in WoW??

Grant you, it's not the best effect, but even ancient NWN has that.

10. How can an monster with like 2-3 people right next to it, swinging on it run right past the people swinging on it and attack the person at a distance hitting it with missle weapons/ spells with no penalty?

I heard the reason they changed it was too many players complaining. They changed it too much, IMO. the PC are no longer undead. I did not relaize how hypocritital this is.
