Lightforged is the only one that’s even a little bit of a problem, and it is easily explained why they might be willing to give it a shot.

It’s not a “little bit” of a problem that a warlock might suddenly decide to undergo an ideological/spiritual shift accompanied by a biological transformation that is completely at odds with everything that makes warlocks what they are. It’s a problem so major it shatters any believability about what makes both warlocks and lightforged what they are. The two are the complete antithesis of one another, only beaten by lightforged shadow priests(before anyone thinks bringing up that nugget of nonsense is a valid argument in favor of warlocks ), which are still less impactful because the army of the light didn’t spend thousands of years fighting directly against the void. Though I’m sure they will if given the opportunity.

Being a warlock doesn’t automatically corrupt you, so the Mag’har name still applies. What corrupted the Orcs originally was drinking demon blood.

A warlock can be corrupted if they don’t have the willpower to resist, but the same is true of regular mages on a lesser scale.

Prolonged exposure to fel magic corrupts orcs, period. It’s just a quirk of how their biology reacts to it, which is why the Frostwolves are green despite not drinking the blood. The blood was just a corruption speedrun. Any mag’har that decides to become a warlock will definitely be green by the time they reach the point we’re at in the timeline, especially with the level of mastery and power player warlocks have achieved over the fel.

The actual story of the game for me ended after we killed (?) or knock down argus. And the pantheon of order imprison themselves with sargeras minus the sword. The rest is just alot of unnecessary retcons in several cases and lack of willing from the writers to continue stories.

And how much they butchered arthas and the “reason” why varian didnt show on SL as well it has very to no room for redeem qualities.

What faction most ppl want - the Scarlett Crusade. And even they dabbled in dark magic and corruption.

The **Risen** are a faction of [undead](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Undead) [Scarlet Crusaders](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Scarlet_Crusade) killed and raised into undeath by the [demon](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Demon) [Balnazzar](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Balnazzar).[[1]](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Risen#cite_note-1) They are said to be extremely powerful and that unlike the [Scourge](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Scourge), Balnazzar will not hold them back.[[](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Risen#cite_note-The_Dreadlord_Balnazzar-2)

I disagree that the lore in the game is a joke (besides maybe everything shadowlands and how Nzoth and Sylvanas was done dirty), but I do think that lore shouldn’t affect gameplay. So I do agree you should definitely be able to play the race/class combo you want for sure.

It feels bad when you wanna play a race and realize they don’t have the class you want, so now you gotta choose between the race or the class.

Thats still true. Blizz said the average civilian probably distrusts/dislikes classes like demonhunters or dks. Yet they are still part of the horde/alliance. How civilians see you is different from people in your army see you.

If you don’t mind grouping up with warlocks of a few races. I doubt the same party members would care in your army if its a tauren warlock. Its a bit more rare but not out of the question.

I think Tehd should do it.
