Why is it in WoW that we are given numerous quests in which we are to torture the prisoner in order to extract information? Why is it that said information is always accurate, when in real life, it has been shown that most prisoners under torture make up false information just to escape the torture?

Because it's a video game. Are you saying you care about virtual pixels?

Because people nowadays are sissies, like yourself. Torture is the only reliable method for information gathering, wheter you're willing to accept that or not.

Because Earth politics have no place in Azeroth, or Outlands.
