Talk:Gates of Ahn'Qiraj

I've been trying to find out about the auto turnins to no avail. It's been rumored and I'm pretty sure I witnessed it, that the NPC's at some point begin to turnin items on their own? Does this kick in at a certain point? Has anyone measured at what rates the auto turnins happen? Just curious :)

I wonder if it is still possible to "do" the quest for the scepter, and get all the rewards, except ofcourse the legendary mount. You can still get the Broodlord's head,, but other than reputation does it serve any purpose? I havent heard anyone actually crazy enough to do so though. CJ 09:41, 8 May 2006 (EDT)

Needs an update?
I followed the link to the World of Warcraft site, and it reflects that this is no longer an ongoing event, nor does it suggest that it will ever be repeated for the newer servers (which is a crime, in my openly biased opinion). Should this article be updated to indicate that? Tiraline (talk) 14:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Re-opening of the gates

 * When Patch 3.0.2 was released, the gates of Ahn'Qiraj were briefly closed due to a bug that reset the gates on each server, and gave all characters of the same race and class as the original opener the ability to speak Draconic.

I doubt this. Gnome rogues were reported affected on multiple servers. If this took place on "each server", and "the original opener" is intended to be realm-specific, this would have to mean that the first opener on each and every affected server was a gnome rogue (astronomically unlikely). "each server" also means that there would be one race/class combo on each and every server for which 100% of characters were given Draconic. This was possibly true for gnome rogues (possibly not), but even if it was, the gates can't have been opened by a gnome rogue for every affected server. If this part is true, we would therefore have seen lots of Draconic-speaking warlocks, warriors, druids, mages… and had just as many forum posts about them, when I've found none except for rogues. Additionally, dwarf rogues were also reported by multiple players to have gained the language, making the "same race" part not entirely accurate either.

It's possible, if unlikely-seeming, that the gnome rogue thing was fixed on a single server, and then was somehow spread to all other affected servers. Otherwise I can't see that part of the statement holding true - and even then there are some dwarves to account for. I'm also doubtful that this happened on every single server, although it's certainly possible. If this can be established to be the case, the section needs to be clarified at least. -- Taohinton (talk) 17:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
