I disagree only because they did both of them without any real effort. Zandalari Druids for example lost what made Darkspear Druids stand out in their connection to their society vs other races Druidism. It also took away from the OG story of Darkspear druids, being tied to the fact that most loa dont really like the Darkspear Druidism. Kul Tiras is a mess entirely, it’s natural their druids are just as sloppy and messy from a story standpoint. The main issue you see Druid players having, is that Blizzard actively spits on normal druids. It’s a bit insulting to see them spit on your classes lore and then actually try to make new versions seem “cool and amazing” like in Zandalar. Especially since Zandalari Druids REALLY dont fit the culture because of what Gonks lore actually was.
Also because mechanically speaking, the class is based around Night Elf Druid abilities, with some Tauren themed stuff with solar-balance spells. But even that is still associated with Elune via Moonkin. Gonk hasnt asked his Druids to walk the Dream, nor were they tasked with doing it to watch over the world. The Darkspear ones did it to accelerate their training. Many stronger druid spells, like Tranquility, involve the energies of the Emerald Dream. The class is mechanically designed around Tauren and Night Elven druidism.
