Here's a Queue question straight from me to me: What do me and panda bears have in common? The answer is rings around our eyes, though I'm pretty sure that pandas have them genetically and not from staying up until seven in the morning watching Veronica Mars.

But of course, what does that question have to do with The Queue? I could say "I guess you'll just have to read on! Excelsior!", or I could just tell you that it's because people asked about Pandarens today. Let's start off with some basic questions first, though.

iamnotacarebear asked:

The question i have is with this increase of running the heroics, is the red heroic drake going to be removed? I would hate to see this happen, but i wouldn't be surprised.

Good question, IANACB!

Blizzard has never indicated that the heroic dungeon drakes are going anywhere, since heroics were never considered high-end endgame content. Everybody has (and likely will continue to have) the opportunity to get red drakes if they can stand running that many heroics.


Cyanea asked:

I know the the Blood Elf Paladins all belong to the Blood Knights, and the Draenei Pallies are all part of the Hand of Argus, but what's the lore reason for the existence of Human and Dwarf pallies after the destruction of the Silver Hand. I know a lot of them formed up as the Scarlet Crusade, but what about the existence of player characters?

Also, I know according to the lore, Priests from different races are drawing on different powers for their spells. Does the same apply for Paladins? I understand that the Draenei and the Humans/Paladins view the Light differently (what with the Naaru involved and all that)

While the Silver Hand may have been dissolved following Arthas' betrayal, it still managed to hang around despite a bumpy road, and it appeared to have reformed even before Tirion Fordring returned to lead it and merge it with the Argent Dawn. Even in the absence of an official Order, though, people can still become paladins if they're devoted to the Light., and it's implied that paladins from the original Silver Hand didn't just lose their powers when the Order fell apart.

The Light is sort of an interesting concept, because it was originally intended to be more of a philosophy than an actual living breathing wind-chime-shaped power source like what Burning Crusade gave us. It appears that even with this information, though, there's plenty of wiggle-room when it comes to what each paladin can and can't do with their Light-given powers. I don't think there have been any paladins who use the Shadow like priests do, though -- but I'd love to be proven wrong on that one.
