Don't call the tauren cows

2004 said

Don't call tauren cows, burgers or big game. Apologise if you get people killed. Say "good group."

Forever says

Having read general chat in the beta, we'd like all three back.

The 2004 guide spends several pages on manners: how to behave while hunting, in town and on a battlefield. Some of it is practical, like not taking a monster someone else is already fighting. Some of it is just kindness written down.

New here?

Tauren are the large, gentle, horned people of the Horde. The jokes were old in 2004.
