So, I am in Boralus, standing next to the Stormwind portal and the (Optional) instructions say to port to Ironforge. I skeptically read this, knowing I can port to Stormwind and take the Cata portals right to Mount Hyjal but then decide to follow the instructions... cause hey, why not. I get to Ironforge with a new instruction: Board the tram! Then, take the exit to Stormwind, then take the portal from Eastern Earthshrine to Mount Hyjal (all optional, of course).
Is there a developer who really misses their time in Ironforge? Some dwarf programmer who is having a laugh? Next time, I would like to see the most interesting "shortcuts" they can think of to really trick up the people that feel the need to follow the instructions to the letter.
