Kadrak - Hazing Freshmen?

I’m not sure if there is some sort of Horde legislation about hazing, but someone needs to talk to Thrall about Kadrak and his quest, The Warsong Reports.

If you aren’t familiar with The Warsong Reports, let me give a short rundown. This quest starts at the extreme north end of The Barrens at The Mor’shan Ramparts. Kadrak asks that you take reports to his three scouts in Ashenvale, receive their updates, and deliver them back to him. Easy enough, what’s wrong with that?

Why is this hazing? The University of Washington says that hazing is any act by a member of a group against another member of the same group that can “cause bodily harm or danger, offensive punishment, or disturbing pain, compromise the person’s dignity; cause embarrassment or shame in public; cause the person to be the object of malicious amusement or ridicule; cause psychological harm or substantial emotional strain”. Since Kadrak only offers this quest to Horde the requirement for an intra-group relationship is satisfied. How does this quest satisfy the other aspects of the definition?

1. Ashenvale is a zone for levels 20 - 30. Since this quest is available at level 17, that means every thing in the zone is higher level than you. Chances of bodily harm: High.
2. PVP Only: “Welcome to Ashenvale, here’s your PVP flag.” Chance of dying and watching some gnome do a butt-slap dance on your head: 100%.
3. “Run, Forrest, run!” Holy moly, I’m not even kidding here. This quest literally requires you to run the equivalent of the length of the zone twice. Enjoy your run, freshman.
4. “Enjoying your run? Oh, watch out for that big Alliance city.” That’s right, this quest sends you right through the heart of Astranaar (if you stay on the road). If this is your first trip to Ashenvale, there isn’t a lot of warning that you are about to enter a city. Just cross the bridge and bam! Those elves are pretty but mean.

This is unacceptable. I think I’ll write a letter.
