Whats up with the game giving me a revive option and didn't appear to help me in any way.

Dead guy in armor in Stormwind Cave, Game gave me the option to revive him with a wakestone. Made it seem important. Didn't give me anything. Didn't tell me anything. Just told me to leave him alone. Not only that ..but the game saves after doing it so you can't take it back.

So did I accidently kill this guy or something is that the issue. Waste of a wakestone.

You can revive any NPC that gets killed. Whether or not they're important to a quest or not.

So, yeah, you wasted a wakestone.

This BUT:
Wakestone are not that rare. I wouldn't bother about dead NPCs in the field, however. Such things happen.
With the last patch, you will get a tip of the oracle, if you need to revive an NPC for a quest. (There could be quite some cases in that regard. The Quest for Trysh (Sorcerer/mage-master) is such a quest. Also the elf in Vernworth can die. I definitly would safe the wakestones for such situations. It doesn't hurt, however, to alsways have at least one with you for yourself. (especially in the unmoored world...)
