Comment by dahatiThat tuxedo better become available for players.Comment by NorlaminAesthetically it looks like !@#$, so, par for the course for Goblins?Comment by TinkererBack to Kezan, huh?Comment by WowheadCommenterSo is the idea that the Horde are beating up the Venture Co, who would sell to both sides, so that the Horde-aligned Bilgewater Cartel can take the Azerite instead?Comment by MaximusPMSo, this is the Kezan dungeon. I'm guessing it's not the same part of the island in which the goblin starting zone takes place.

I wish it was, it would be so much fun going back to see what happened there. Goblin players should get special emotes from remembering what happened there... but I guess I have better imagination then Blizzard.
