I feel like a COMPLETE nerd but:
"Trolls becoming Humans?"
Orcs would most likely be the ones becoming Humans as the Orb of Deception trinket turns Orcs to Humans and vice versa.
FYI, in case anyone wants to bash me for this, I dont play WoW anymore. I've moved onto a better MMORPG: Dark Age of Camelot. :)

I thought on the Internet, all humans became trolls...
Ah, whatever. I don't even like these "best of" posts... If I cared about WoW, I'd just visit the blog, not Joystiq. :|

It's a good choice, though as WoW is pretty fucking popular EVERYWHERE. :)

I changed my Night Elf to a Troll. And my Wife changer her Night Elf to a Blood Elf.
It was beneficial for us because we hadn't been playing those characters since we switched servers and everyone we knew on the new server was Horde.
Now we have money and gear that we can trade between the characters that we couldn't before. It is a tad expensive, but it really didn't bother us.
