Just something I've been thinking about for some time now, and with all the insane pieces of trivia floating around among the Lurkers, this would be the place to bring it up. There are a ton of things in the game that don't seem to serve any purpose. They're either not yet implemented, or just there to make you say "wha...?"
But I'm sure a lot of the things that puzzle us DO have some purpose we (individually) just haven't discovered. Maybe it's a class-specific quest, or maybe you play one alliance and it's something specifically for the other. So here's the thread. Feel free to post your own questions, or respond if you do know the answers.
Cutthroat Alley - You have to go through a building in Stormwind to reach it, and there isn't a single NPC there. What is this place for?
Ghosts in Auberdine - To this day I've yet to figure out why there's a ghostly NE female standing outside one of the homes in Auberdine.
Non-PvP Forsaken NPC - His name escapes me at the moment, but there's a Forsaken NPC that walks the road just west of the Ruins of Lordaeron, and down into Silverpine. As a Horde character, he's had one or two lines of meaningless chatter. As Alliance, he's hostile and yet non-PvP (nor is he a Civilian). I've always made a point of gunning him down as I pass through.
Cultist Braziers - In the northeastern section of Silithus is a cave full of Twilight Cultists. The braziers in this cave can be activated (they have a wheel icon) and then are inactive for a few seconds after doing so. But there is no action taken, no sound, nothing.
Chandalier in Kharazan - This one's likely a quest that's NYI, but you never know... Is there something up with that one rather pristine chandelier amidst the rubble of Kharazan? It even seems lit up.
Naga in Tanaris - Along the east coast is a named Naga in a cave. He's neutral, has little to say, and just stands there.
