This is the Azerothian equivalent of shooting a buffalo in the original The Oregon Trail. You get a thousand pounds of meat, but you're only able to carry two hundred back to your wagon. Submitter Matteø of The Blades Revolution on Darkmoon Faire (EU-A) was doing some fishing on a tiny raft when he landed this enormous octopus. Thank goodness there's no collision detection in this game, or else the size differential between his raft and his catch would send that flimsy vessel to the bottom of the sea.

When it comes to our avatars, some of us are better than others at handling anthropomorphism. I don't personally have anything against the non-humanoid races, but I find I don't ultimately bond with a character that looks like a bear or a cow or a wolf. These characters end up feeling like cartoon game pieces that I move around on the game world rather than "my girls," even if "my girl" is undead or has gigantic tusks or a tail. Unbridled fantasy elements? I'm totally down with that. But big, furry critters feel like caricatures that I just can't take seriously -- and if I'm not taking my character seriously, I'm not taking the rest of the game seriously, either.
