Here you go Blizzard a simple fix for the “Worgen Curse” that keeps the lore of the race stale and unable to advance. Have Goldrinn come in and turn the curse into a blessing of the ancient. Right now the Worgen curse is just that, a curse that no one wants to pass it on due to the wild nature of it and the thought that it might cause newly infected to lose their minds or harm loved ones. So change it. Give us something where Goldrinn himself comes in and turns it to a blessing. It would give the Worgen a reason to share this blessing with Gilneans and keep the race going. It would not only open up new options for story arcs but also allow the leader of the Worgen to choose to be human or Worgen without having to take a “curse” on.

This sounds like a plot to allow Worgens to take over Tirisfal Glades once the Forsaken all finally die out with no way to replenish their numbers.
No
The Forsaken will die out, and the Worgen will go down with them.
When we get our 300 year timeskip in WoW II, Lordaeron will be populated by Blood Elves and their Leper Gnome servants.
I agree nerf DH! Then delete Elves.

This makes me wish that Gilneaa kept stronger ties to the Night Elves.
Seems that after Cataclysm, the writers hard-swapped them to be best friends with Stormwind instead.
Gilneas even had a hub in Teldrassil. Feels like the narrative for Night Elves to aide the Worgen with their curse completely fell off a cliff.

Then Blizzard forgot Worgen existed in Teldrassil other than to put a this is fine meme in the Genocide of the elves and just utterly gloss over the how many Worgen died in the fire as well.

Jesus Christ is that real? LOL
Burning of Teldrassil was so emotional, I never seen that easter egg that’s hilarious.
Its 100% real. It was very easy to miss cause you were under a timer to save as many NPCs as you could before blacking out but ya… That’s Blizzards humor for you. Well that and poop quests.

I honestly can appreciate this idea. There can be a lot of story ideas behind this. How it would affect Gilnean Culture. How it could integrate even with non worgen Gilneans. It would be very interesting to see if it could be implemented well.
So you want to make the worgen… not worgen? If you take away everything special about them they’re just humans with bad hair.

Well they still haven’t touched on the subject of the destruction of The Scythe of Elune and it’s effects on Worgen you know the artifact responsible for Worgen existing in the first place.

Worgen are no longer human. When we die we die as Worgen.

It’s debatable whether it’s even a curse or not at this point. It has so many insane benefits, and the one drawback is having to manage your anger. It literally put an unarmed, unarmored man pushing eighty years of age on par with the former Ranger General of Quel’thalas in a one-on-one fight.
Anybody who just writes it off as, “Yeah, but curse tho”, is being willfully ignorant.

Being a worgen is a gift, you’re a hulking large wolf-man super soldier as you senses are heightened, your agility, strength, ferocity, speed dramatically increased, and you have the strategical cunning and intellect of man all wrapped into one. And the best part being, you have the best of both worlds as you can turn into a worgen in times of battle, and back to your human form whenever you want… If this is what the worgen “curse” is then I don’t want to be cured.

What Im saying is story wise people look at the curse as a bad thing. So why not turn it into a blessing from Goldrinn himself keeping all the current benefits and no longer calling it a “curse” opens up so much for us story wise.
The worgen curse is suppoe to sound bad, because before the Gilnaens took part of the ritual it was a bad thing. The bad is suppose to be there to represent the trade off for all the benefits being a worgen brings.
What you’re suggesting completely changes the entire story behind the Worgen and it’s connection to the druidic pack form.
It changes nothing. It just takes something bad and makes it into a blessing that would be looked at in a better light rather than a curse that no one would want.
