Oh I know this. I was just making a very dubious comment to who’s behavior the orcs were reflecting in MoP with their obsession to conquer the place and the leading emphasis on Orgrimmar being poor in resources.

On another note…
I agree, to an extent. A faction’s settlements usually wouldn’t be welcoming of opposite faction members.
I don’t believe, however, this translates to uncompromising, blanket ban on every single member of certain races.
For example, I have had Za’tiya here visit Stormwind after the armistice. While she may be a (civilian-level) citizen of the Horde, she also happens to be a badge-carrying druid of the Cenarion Circle with many connections (both professional and personal) to relatively high-ranking and respectable Alliance citizens.
Her visit to the city was not a vacation, nor was it undertaken on a whim. Za’tiya was always accompanied by 1 or 2 “bodyguards” when I RPed in Stormwind (some friends’ characters who were ICly reputable Alliance combatants). She also had on her person at all times an identity document, a Cenarion sigil, and a notaried letter of sponsorship penned by a human noble (who also happens to be a fellow RPer). When the Stormwind City Guard guild ICly ran into her in a walk-up, Za’tiya simply presented these papers and was cleared without issue.

Nightborne need to be actual nightborne models instead of reskinned night elves, that’d go a long way too.
Furiously taking notes for my nelf to visit her Sin’dorei student in SMC.

I can sort of explain this one.
Male goblins look bad.
Especially post-update with their mismatched updates (at least the new customization options fixed this) and giant lips.
The lack of hair options is also a problem. There’s a lot of hair options for male goblins, but they’re almost all some variant of “balding”. It’s a classic example of why quality trumps quantity.
That said, you don’t see a lot of people dedicated to their male goblin characters because it’s hard to make them look good in-game. The dedicated characters definitely exist, but they’re a minority.
So where does that leave the rest?
People who embrace having an ugly character.
Some do this in good faith, mind you, but most are just gonna be throwaway character concepts. “I made my character as ugly as possible because I want them to be evil.”
And, obviously, there wasn’t a ton of thought put into it beyond that.

Slap on the fact that prostitution built the old west and you have yourself a town in a box.
. . .ha
you’re my favorite deputy! there’s a town in my box. somebody poisoned the waterin’ hole.
alright that’s a great take and i love it. tbh i probably take this dumb game’s dumber lore too seriously and that sounds like a much better attitude.

I definitely see it, my Vulpera is still the only character where I’ve actually been turned down for RP just because of the character’s race. But I think pandas got more hate back in their expansion still, personally. Like said, it’ll pass in time.

If you ever spot me in Org you are absolutely welcome to approach, I will -never- turn you away over being a vulpera.

I don’t mind the Vulpera, I think they have outstanding lore, and are just as Horde as any other Horde race, but the obvious trolls, and I’m talking “UwU” spammers and TRP troll profile spammers have ruined the race for me to the point where I can never play it, and I typically stick to my own circle of Vulpera who I know aren’t just trying to troll and be rude.
Me brain always goes pear shaped when someone on a motorcycle is called a biker, but some plonker on a bike is called a cyclist.

Can you imagine Kul Tirans but with Tauren skeletons

If it helps my primary Kul’tiran is a death knight and he may have a tauren skeleton in his backpack, for emergencies of course.

That’s just practical. You gotta have more cow bone, babe.
i will turn all of you down
that is my ic viewpoint that you will now get
One that tends to make me sigh a lot is the idea that the Kirin Tor betrayed the Blood Elves back in WC3:TFT by not trying to stop Garithos from imprisoning them.
For one thing, it was something of a retcon that there even were active Council of Six members in the ruins at the time. For another, the Kirin Tor presence would’ve had to of been minimal to avoid any kind of relevance to the story outside of someone going, “Oh, Modera was there!” Assuming for a moment that Modera turned to Garithos and said, “Uhhh… no? I don’t think so. You’re not imprisoning Kael’thas and the Blood Elves, not in the ruins of my city,” does anyone think Garithos would’ve replied with, “Oh, right, sorry,” or do you think he’d have just killed the Kirin Tor remnants and blamed the Blood Elves for it later?
I completely forgot the Blood Elves were staged for execution in the ruins of Dalaran.
Wow, the Blood Elves own “origin” story has been retconned at this point.
