And at the same time, comparing Worgen and Forsaken there is a degree of parity.
The conclusion of which is that the Devs are unwilling to really write the Forsaken and Worgen for what their respective playerbases bought into in the first place.
For the Forsaken, we are burdened with 14 years of intra-studio dev factionalism due to a refusal to hold the reins at all where a majority of the devs wanted Playable Scourge and are now left with a complete narrative trainwreck and the only solution that the devs are able to manage is foisting Calia upon the Forsaken and writing questlines directly shutting down player criticism (eg Sindane’s nonsense “All Necromancy Is Valid UwU”).
For the Worgen, we are burdened with 14 years of being ignored and playing second finddle to Stormwind, where the main racial leader wholesale ignores his actual duties and responsibilities and family for the sake of Muh Twinkadin, where outside of a single patch of BFA (Darkshore) there has been no meaningful development of the playable fantasy (not even in Shadowlands, maybe the Worgen curses pushes Wild-God-blood-curses into Ardenweald), where the devs have decided to push that the worgen curse is bad and not something they want or accept as a people, that “our curse is our strength” is wrong, that Gilneas is not a Kingdom of Human Werewolves but of Humans who have Some Werewolves Temporarily, undermining worgen player chosen fantasy.
The end result being that instead of an awesome spooky “stalemate” conflict where Werewolf/Witch Kingdom vs Zombie/Vampire Kingdom are hashing it out in the Spooky Forest, only collaborating to fight against Christofash Monster Hunters who deny humanity to both (maybe have Scarlets take over Shadowfang Keep), we have *vague gestures * this nonsense where the Werewolf/Witch Kingdom is led by a Non-Werewolf/Non-Witch who didn’t want the throne in the first place (GOD FORBID WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT OF A WEREWOLF REPUBLIC) and the Zombie/Vampire Kingdom is led by a council the devs begrudingly placed where they accidentally showed their hand with “Queen Calia”, a perfect statue zombie raised in a way that doesn’t cause the setbacks of neither the other zombies nor the other vampires (again, GOD FORBID they take the idea of “we are all equal in death” and have democracy).
They really just don’t get that people want Fun Spooky Werewolves vs Zombies because they can’t see past their ideological political sensibilities nor the in-studio factionalism over “Muh Playable Scourge”
