Why High Elves Don't Work: A Primer (Part 1)

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

But…where is the deed of ownership? hmmmm

I have it safely locked away…and overseen by a lavishly overpaid Goblin Contract Law specialist.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

Something that shouldn’t have happened, in my opinion. There’s no reason to compound a stupid decision by repeating it.

But there’s also Worgen/human druids.
Personally…I don’t get letting any humans be druids…but there it is.

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

Not our land.

Well, we might not need your wood if the humans didn’t clear cut Thunder Ridge.

Feel free to take that up with the Boy King…I’ll be happy to help.

[Gulkas-barthilas]

Oh no the vassal state of the Horde would never dare act against our new liege.

Thanks Golden you hack.

I view Worgen as Worgen…who can shapeshift to a human form and not the other way around.

Goblin you say?
I think I will have to look into this. No Goblin I know would take acorns for pay.

The technical term is a seed fund.

No, but he happily took the gold I removed from the bodies of other Goblins and the coin paid to us by Goblin quest givers.

Nice!

So goblins run the Orgrimmar economy basically and are the reasons it’s potentially the biggest trade hub in Azeroth.

Who mints the coins? Does the Horde use its own currency or did they adopt the goblin currency?

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

thanks. he’s adorable, honestly.

I think they would use the goblin currency, too many other things to worry about and…

…can you imagine the minting costs of having to design new coinage every time a Horde leader gets offed? Although now they could just use coins with Anduin’s face on them and be set.

Moolah must be accepted in Orgrimmar… The Goblins are a major race within their group. Though since most of the rest of the world appears to just use gold, silver, and copper coins I’m guessing its mostly just that.

[Gulkas-barthilas]

Yeah, but gold coins were adopted because of their universal worth as a small piece of gold. A Roman gold coin was different to a Seleukid gold coin and a Ptolemaic gold coin.

Presumably the factions have their own currencies.

I’d like to imagine the trade boss is really petty and has a tiny picture of Thrall and a giant picture of him on the coins.

[Elyssaria-kargath]

Those are the coins that could be smelted into gold bars.

[Gulkas-barthilas]

I’d like to smelt Anduin down.

I Wonder what the exchange rate is to an Orgrimmar Moolah and a Stormwind Royal?

[Gulkas-barthilas]

The real question is how many tauren blankets equate to one gold?
