It kind of boggles my mind that there are Draenei out there going through the Onyxia quest (not just because they're not supposed to be that level yet, but also because who still cares about Ony?), but apparently there are, and they're having issues. It seems the Draenei aren't yet considered to be in the Alliance for a few quests-- the note in A Crumpled Up Note isn't dropping for them at all. Also, the Flute of Xavaric, another Alliance item isn't appearing for them either. Drysc confirms it's a bug, and they're working on it.Which is a little strange, when you think about the mechanics of the game. One player mentions the Horde's experience with the necklace in Uldaman-- when Horde try to pick up that necklace, they get an error message (but at least it drops for them). Likewise, Blizzard was able to easily make Pally gear drop on all those Horde runs before the expansion, but they can't flag the Draenei as Alliance? Bit of an oversight, that.
But here's hoping it'll be fixed soon, and the Draenei can be folded back under the wing of the Alliance forces for good.

Maybe it's in they way quests are set up? Say, rather than: "Requires Alliance" it looks for "Human, Gnome, Nelf, Dwarf." That would explain how you can get questgivers who look for "Troll or Orc and Shamman and = or greater than X level" for shammy quests.

but also because who still cares about Ony?
1) People who have never experienced an Ony raid.
2) People who want a quick, fun raid with a large group of friends.
3) People who don't have the expansion.
4) People who are in no hurry to burn through Outlands content and don't play the game just as a way to upgrade their gear.
I personally want to experience every raid, boss and instance in the game...whether there's a "point" to it or not.

Sorry guys, I did spell Draenei wrong. For some reason I can't seem to get that right! But I fixed it in this post, thanks for the catch.

Are you guys mispelling it on purpose now? I've commented in every story saying it's DRAENEI.

When will everyone know how to spell their name!?
"Draenei", not Draenai. It's Dran-eye, not Drah-ie.

Don't forget those who get their hands on the Quel'Serrar book, they'd rather much like to run Ony.

I think some quests are coded to certain race/class combos.
For example back in the day, dwarf priests didn't need to do the MC attunement and couldn't do the diremaul quest chain with the crit gloves
