Most blatant Monster Rip-Off so far

Aye. I just don't hope that in the future WoW doesn't get cluttered with "tributes" as most Hollywood movies today ;)

The game is already one huge string of "tributes". They span the entire world, and most quest lines have at least some sort of a tribute portion to them. Head over to Un'Goro and say hello to "Obi," the level 1 raptor. Or help out Ringo (with a little help from my friends), who's passed out in a cave near the volcano's summit. Larion and Muigin could use some help in Un'Goro as well. Not sure what they did before heading to Marshal's Refuge... maybe plumbing? And remember... Dadanga dislikes smoke.

The Linken chain is the biggest "tribute" in the game, taking you all over the world with quest headings like "It's dangerous to go alone" or "it's a secret to everybody".

Take down Colonel Kurzen in the jungle in your 30s sometime. It's a fun quest chain, and the ending is apocalyptic.

Or help out the Argent Dawn in Anderhol, placing torches All Along the Watchtowers.


I challenge you to find a zone in the game that does not have a large number of such "tribute" features. It's the style the entire game has been created under, and Ahn'Qiraj is one of the lesser examples if you wish to consider Ouro to be a chest burster.
