Well I've been on forums where 'headbutting' and 'challenging' were commonplace but the PG community is above that I believe. Saying that, not trying to place it on a pedestal since I know its not perfect but regardless.. Not trying to have a go or attack or anything, just giving my take, tossing in my two cents.

I completely get what you're saying, I just quoted you as I had points to make etc etc.

Occasionally newbies ask where to get druid and may require help getting it. I've helped a few people get it, warning them profusely about its permanence while making the trek there, just to give them the option of changing their minds en route. You could bring a lvl 1 to sunvale to get druid, some view it as enabling or babying but I view it as 'if someone wants something and I can help them get it, why not.' You can't control what other people want or do, you can only decide for yourself. If you wanted druid on an alt to try it out either myself or someone else would be more than happy to bring you there, as with anyone else that wants to try it.

You are right however, sunvale is a lvl 40-ish zone (roughly), so new players couldn't exactly fight anything there. If they have never been there before they may find it tough to navigate the mobs as well. So no, you're not mistaken - new players would find it difficult to attain on their own.
