Stormwind: Misaligned For Years

World of Warcraft is coming up on its 4th anniversary in November and one of the biggest texture alignment issues I've experienced in any game has still gone unfixed.

This is the entrance to Stormwind. These wooden beams appear in other areas of the game -properly aligned. How can a texture misalignment of this magnitude go unaddressed for so long? The lighting bug in the entrance of the Booty Bay Inn was fixed months ago (finally) but this huge mistake is still around.

WHY?
