This insufferably inconsistent "style guide" regarding the Midnight Trolls is something I noticed pretty early on after arriving in Zul'aman. Many of the main campaign quests are riddled with these inconsistencies: sometimes the text will say "they" and "their" and "them" while other times --in the same quest, mind you-- it'll say "dey" and "der" and "dem". It's not just a quest here or there, it's quite a few... and those are just the ones that I've actually noticed. The writers just mix and match between "th" and "d" willy-nilly.
Or, more likely, given years of evidence of sloppiness: they initially write the Troll text in "normal English" and then ~try~ to edit the "th" words to change them to "d" words. But their sloppiness means they miss some, and we end up where we are now with this wildly inconsistent manner of Troll speech in the live version of the game.
I love WoW. I love the stories, I love the characters, I love the combat. But holy f--- does this kind of carelessness frustrate and disappoint me. For something we are paying for, this is horribly unprofessional and just plain sloppy.
