Chris Metzen actually commented about this in a long-form podcast (that you will have to find on your own) a few months ago. Cataclysm was a chaotic time at Blizzard with Alex Afrasiabi (who wrote that quest line) needing to make up for Metzenās absence (busy on the Warcraft film and other things).
Alex is now the head of Creative Development, aka the āwritersā, now interestingly enough, basically fulfilling Metzenās role. Infamously part of the same guild as Kaplan from the EQ days.
I meanā¦ Undercity literally a giant hot zone rihgt now and completely uninhabitableā¦
And we murdered our own people while doing it too.
Horde arenāt bright when it comes to military tactics, we just got handed the dues-ex bomb that preventing the alliance from completely rolling us over, because plagueās stupid.
Troll thread or not I would love to see Org nuked and then the orcs made out to be bad guys by the rest of b the Horde because Anduin told Tyrande off for it.
I wonder where all the ācoolā, ābadassā replies went. I guess the Horde having the coolest players was a lie after all with these quality replies.
Jaina had a chance after getting the focusing iris to flood Ogrimmar with it. After what happened at Theramore. Thats when the devs along with Chris Metzen and the narrative team prevented that from happening. But when it comes to destroying an alliance faction city. They turn a blind eye and let it happen. Thatās pretty much horde favortism right there. Then you get some stupid excuse saying that Zuldazar raid was payback for Teldrassil. Yet the nightelves didnt even support that raid. Because they wanted Anduin to help them reclaim darkshore.
