I will just say this word: Argent Squires.
I find it intolerable to have in a R12+ game a picture of a child carrying bags with a 6yard banner on its back and following his what? His "champion?" What messages does that picture send? Certainly not innocent and harmless and manipulatively mixed as to what a child should or should not do. This may be a fantasy game but we surely are not in the middle ages where you had your squires doing whatever chore you wanted. Children have rights and they must be protected.
Wowwiki states: "Argent Squire who can be commanded to carry the banner for any faction that the player has earned the right to Champion." So after a player has tried to become a "champion" he can command a child in-game to carry his banner for him.
I am not joking about this matter, this Argent Squire child can be perceived as a side-way route of depicting children labor.
Please, next time try consulting with child-psychologists about the context and content of this game or if you are, fire the ones that work for you at the moment...
If this remains unanswered I will be seeking more formal ways of communication to make my point heard. But I will not stop pursuing the revoke of this feature. There are other things to consider as well, like the orphan event, but I am focusing on this at the current time.

Nice troll. I'd give a 6/10 for effort.
He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Your opinions mean absolutely nothing to me.
It is you who are the trolls that fester on this forum all day long without having anything else to do than slander on the people that actually have to say something from time to time.
That being said, I will wait for normal people and some official to reply.
PS: If you are adults and came up with these replies, you should seek professional help...
