Just an update. There are 3 officially "horde" elders in 3 of the 4 horde capital cities, but there are some that will be tough to get in the rest of the world too unless you have an 85 to draw their fire... crossroads, razor hill and another one that slips my mind are all right beside a couple rather aggressive guards who will make mince-meat one shot out of you at your level.
I've experienced the mince-meat situation a couple of times. Not pretty.
The first was in Booty Bay when I didn't realize there are two Flight Masters - Horde & Alliance. I was just thrilled to FIND the FM (or anyone for that matter!) in Booty Bay, so clicked on the Horde FM and BOOM - dead! I'm like, WTH??? I figured maybe I accidentally hit auto attack, but fortunately I was in IM with someone I'd recently met and she told me about the two FMs. /facepalm
Then I was involved in the dragon quest chain in the Badlands. I could see the little skull on my mini-map indicating the boss mob to kill, got close to it and WHAM - dead before I could blink. Tried that again - dead in less than 1 sec...again. Searched for info online and found out there are two paths up the mountain and the one I kept taking was Horde territory. Gah!!! Maybe the NPC quest giver could have given me a heads up on that...lol.
And last night I was traveling somewhere new (the zones are starting to blur together if I've never fought in them), stayed on the road, wasn't in Horde territory that I was aware of and again, before I could blink I was dead. Looked at the chat box and had been ambushed by a Horde ranger NPC at long range. Took another death or two to be able to rez and use my hearth stone before the ranger spotted me again.
Think I'll just pass on the Horde Elder stones.
