Okay, I should be used to the basic lack of common sense in the World of Warcraft quests.

I mean, for one, how do they know I've killed a dozen {insert mob name here}? I'm a rogue. I'm patently dishonest. Like I can't lie? Okay, okay, it's a game. I'll let that one lie.

But come on.... there is some serious stupidity with some of these quests. (And this is going above and beyond the fascination that the quest designers have with poop.) There is a quest that basically goes "Hey, we have refugees pouring in and we can't feed them. Go get this particular food."

Me: Hey, big walrus chief dude. I got like 4 stacks of fish, a bunch of meat pies, some chicken... I can just give you all that.
Big Walrus Chief Dude: No, you don't understand. We need this particular food.
Me: Why? I mean, if you're starving, fuck it, I can get you food.
BWCD: Just do the damn quest, okay?

And then, the mobs you get the quest 'meat' from also drop other types of meat, but hey, it's not interchangeable. Why? Who the fuck knows.

And the next quest in the chain... BWCD needs weapons. Again, I could set him up. But no.... it has to be crafted from the finest chimera horn.

Me: Look, we can set you up a forge, get some cobalt swords produced here, get you armed in fucking style.
BWCD: You just don't get the whole quest mentality do you? Go forth, and mindlessly repeat rote tasks.
Me: *mutters* I swear, I find some giants who want walrus skin coats, you fuckers are toast.
