Quote:The goofball hinterlands trolls have their own faction, which is currently as useless as the rogue one.
Not any more. The Revantusk trolls were showing as friendly to my undead mage, and had no listed faction, when I was wandering round the village earlier this week. The highest you could get with them before was about two-thirds through neutral; friendly wasn't possible.
Quote:However, I've heard that there is some horde quest that involves some disguise debuff that temporarily places you at war with orgrimmar. I've never done the quest and am not sure what it is
The quest series is the Test of Faith/Endurance/Strength/Lore questline that starts from the tauren npc Dorn Plainstalker in a cave near the centaurs in Thousand Needles. It's a fun questline that takes you to the top of a bluff with only one way down, killing harpies on a hellish respawn timer, hunting down an elite mob, into an underground cave which has the particular preset layout that I absolutely _hate_ and always get lost in, and finally into the Scarlet Monastery. These last two steps have you retrieve books. When you turn them in to the questgiver, he asks you a question, the answer to which can be found by reading the book (which you can only do _before_ you turn it in and get the question). If you answer incorrectly, you get the Mark of Shame debuff, which renders you Unfriendly to the horde faction (so you aren't Kill On Sight, but you can't use vendors etc - and you can attack the horde faction and kill them with no loss of reputation).
Unfortunately there's a 1.11 patch note which states that the Mark Of Shame debuff has been removed from the game. Apparently too many people were having fun with it, or using it to kill off e.g. that repairing tauren next to the auction house that everybody uses with no consequences. So instead of fixing the problem, they removed it from the game, in a move I like to think of as the Blizzard "De Seis Thief" solution ;-)
You don't know what you're talking about.
