Does anyone else think Blizzard wants us to do too much work to open this race?
The Horde doesn't have to do a dungeon but the Alliance does.

Description
Mogul Razdunk has always been a jealous sort, wishin' he was Gallywix or better. But he's the worst sort o' greedy. He won't stop at anythin' tae achieve his ends, nae matter the cost. It was a bold move even fer him tae strike at us in Blackrock Depths. He should've knaewn he was goin' too far. Kill that covetous wretch an' bring the hammer back where it belongs. You'll find him in Kezan. Somewhere he calls "The Motherlode," likely with too many exclamation points.
