Just because its a hunting group, doesn't mean there wouldn't be a mage... specially considering the dangers that both animals and sentient races of Draenor always pose to it's denizens.Then where did the net come from Delt?

From the mage that was with them because of the dangers that both animals and the sentient races of Draenor always posed to the denizens of the planet?
Having a mage in 'lesser tasks' doesn't necessarily mean that they were overflowing with arcanists.
Delt, the entire race is Magical; they have been since the end of Argus, that's why Sargeras found them. And during the 25k years with the Naaru, the Magi and the Priest/Paladins of the Light evolved into something unlike anything seen on Azeroth. This would be like if the Church of the Light had appeared during the age of the Troll Wars and continued on to the current Azeroth.
You can't compare them to the Azeroth races as there is no analog.

Elves are also magical, in fact they were fueled by fountains of untold power.
During 25,000 years of conflict the mages and paladins of the draenei did nothing more than dying, in fact, wars normally make us lose knowledge and not gain it (see the Church of the Holy Light and the libraries they lost during the last 3 wars).
Making a long story short: Power or knowledge doesn't necessarily mean they are numerous.
Right... but I'm merely telling you what you see among the Draenei themselves; they are a magical race(even more so then any of the Elves), and I'm sure they've forgotten more things then Elves have even known. That's why, even now, they are still long lived; in the millenniums instead of the centuries. It's just the way Blizzard set up the race in all honesty. Different from the Elves, Humans, Gnomes and Undead, they are a literal race that lives on the Light and Magic.

Culture
The draenei culture is centered around two things: the Holy Light of Creation and magic. The first is the result of their unique relationship with the naaru, while the second is the path that the eredar have always followed. As a result, draenei usually choose religious professions, such as priests or paladins, or magical ones, such as the mage. A few have started to follow the path of the shaman under the guidance of Farseer Nobundo.
As a people, the draenei have devoted themselves to preparing for the day when they will join the Army of the Light, when they will finally take the fight back to the Burning Legion and atone for the sins of their man'ari brethren. In spite of this overarching goal, the draenei still lead personal lives and pursue their own interests, just as other races do. Would that count Delt?

If the Draenei were mostly composed of what the 'lesser beings' of Azeroth would consider elite... then thats just a reason for me to hate them as a 'mary sue race'./headdesk
I'm done here Delt; I have no desire to continue this.

And this is also your opinion, or is until you can find me an undeniable fact that the Draenei are the only race that has the capability of being as pure as the purest or having the concentration of the greatest minds of azeroth.
All I say to that is simply: The Naaru.

Isn't it funny to think of the fact that Horde and Alliance players speak the language of their faction? Imagine a Night Elf or Draenei speaking Common: "Ash no ewidden novas..." or even better, a Blood Elf or Forsaken speaking Orcish: "Throm-ka, mog no'ku zug kek."

The common isn't that far fetched - because in-game and in WC3 all we hear them talk in practically is english, which is pretty much common.
The orcish is a bit far-fetched, though. But lore-wise I think that would only be for in-faction diplomatic purposes, otherwise I think they'd go around speaking there language or common (of course speaking common for the Horde is not reflected in-game).

Common isn't english. It's much closer to Icelandic than english, apparently.

No, but common is a very universal based language made so that it could be used by anything or anyone. Orcish however, is incredibly culture based and without knowledge of their culture and religion, would be very hard to understand. I think we should all be able to speak common, plus your regular race language, plus one more from your faction.

And meh, I just found a citation that convinced me.Heh oh?

That's a bit of a gameplay issue to manage.
Also, anyone noticed that weapons in the game are starting to get so large they're physically crippling? Well according to IRL standards.
Getting? Why aren't you using past tense?
