After you find a better weapon, you can pickup a new Greymane "enchant"(or jem or whatever it is in this game) from the foundry vender and throw it into the better weapon. Pretty nice if you ask me.
Well they can easily be avoided. That said, the game could definitely benefit with having servers that cater to people based on their location. Imagine if you didn't speak english, and you're forced to play on these three servers. Language barriers are a reality.
