“Can you fly from Hellfire Peninsula to the Netherstorm over the abyss in Outland on your flying mount?”
Yes. It even counts as its own little zone. Your channels will switch from Hellfire Peninsula to Twisting Nether before becoming Netherstorm.

“In the Azeroth there are siege engines, guns, helicopters, robots, motorcycles etc. Since that type of technology exists why would anyone continue to ride on a horse or dragon? They smell, they poop, they need food, it’s silly.”
Do you really want to lay your cushy behind on a giant hunk of metal wrapped around a Goblin-made engine? I don’t. I’ll stick with my gryphon, thank you.

“When the new arena season starts will honor reset?”
No, honor points do not reset with new arena seasons. Arena points do, but honor points do not.

“How do gold sellers get all of the toons that they use for these marches/dead body graffiti? Do they buy that many trial accounts? Hack into character creation servers? If this is the case, how safe is the rest of the process?”
They definitely do not hack character creation. It’s a combination of (free) trial accounts and stolen accounts they are “done” with. Once they’ve stripped down a character, auctioned/vendored everything, have transferred the goods and all of that, the account is just a billboard now. Goodbye level 80s, hello army of level one paladins marching in formation.
Molly asked…
“Why is Silvermoon called Silvermoon? Isn’t that name a bit strange for Blood Elves? Why not Goldensun or something like that?”
Do remember that the elves that settled Silvermoon did so thousands of years ago, and they weren’t all about the sun yet. They hadn’t even taken the name the Blood Elves. They were barely even High Elves yet. Quel’Thelas was founded by Kaldorei exiles. As was mentioned by others in the comments, if the Blood Elves had founded Silvermoon, it probably would be called something else entirely. But Silvermoon makes perfect sense as a name from the people that actually named it.
Seriously, even with Chill of the Throne my avoidance/mitigation stats are damn solid (we’re talking almost 14% dodge, close to 22% parry, and around 18% block with raid buffs even after CotT yanking out 20% of my dodge) and I’m looking forward to getting my hands on that sweet proc mace from Putricide. I would like to see the proc get a buff to put it on par with Bryntroll (wow, was I wrong about the value of that proc, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa) but if it’s got uptime even remotely comparable that +100 str proc by itself should be a nice threat boost and the healing bonus will be nice for high damage fights. I’m already tanking with a high DPS axe a lot of the time because I simply don’t need any more avoidance or mitigation on my weapon (I’m at 580 defense already) so I think a proc is actually kind of welcome at this point.
