@Enekie That Night Elf

sits back and observes. Begins to eat popcorn

It’s not as fun arguing now that I’m on your side.

I think it kind of stopped being fun once all the conspiracies were basically proved true.

“Blizzard has no interest in the Alliance and does not consider them to be a priority in any aspect of the game” sounded fun enough to fight about before the Alliance population was absolutely crushed and Blizzard just went “lmao we should fix that maybe at some point idk lol”

“Blizzard’s affectation for the Horde leads to really uncomfortable situations that ultimately make playing the Horde, despite said attention, really awful sometimes” was also a fun argument until Blizzard pretty much forced the entire Horde playerbase to be complicit in genocide.

Now…I mean, we can argue about them, if we want? But it feels a little pointless.

Are we sure those were ever the sources of debate? The Alliance being lame and the Horde being an out of control flame hasn’t exactly been a disputed opinion since uh…. Wrath?

I mean sure, they’ve doubled down on those fine qualities over the years, but Garrosh’s new Horde and Varian’s new Alliance aren’t all that different than what we’ve seen in every expansion since the world update of Cataclysm, and since those leaders really rose to prominence.

Oh, yeah. We’ve had all kinds of depraved debates around here. Some of the posturing around the Teldrassil thing got quite all-caps.

We had a lot of spirited fervor around Jaina being justified in purging Dalaran, too, so I take your point.

We all need to do some geometry and summon the “angry at shapes” guy it’s been a couple of years since he popped in. We have the usual clown show of varsity snacks and the homophobic hunter with dissociative identity disorder but they are just lame in general so it’s best to not even engage with their level of stupid.

I’m begging you not to utter those names and risk summoning them because I know one of them still browses the forums

Anyone remember that ED drama post in here last August that turned into a giant flurry of rage that spanned across the internet and lasted over 24 hours straight

These forums had some legit arguing back in the day and some absolute characters.

I remember the “be seeing you” guy.

My favorite was the rotating cast of Blood Elf Males who began as somewhat rational, if high-strung, and ended by declaring that our server was a pit of sin and he was charged by god to cleanse it.

Always Blood Elf Males for some reason. Always that specific kind of meltdown.

Guilt is pretty much our best weapon.

You ever see those videos of “Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing”?

That’s the Alliance every expansion.

I haven’t played WoW in almost two years. None of this matters, it’s just about opinions over a video game that took most of its lore from other properties.

I think the Night Elves are more of a fascistic culture than Orcs and only have the acceptance of it because they are “prettier”

That’s an opinion I just made. Can we argue about that?

I guess I can kind of see it? In that allegedly the Night Elves are matriarchal and the social structure is highly regimented. Orcs believe strength rules all, but that’s also a pretty open-ended invitation.

The only problem I really see with it is that the Night Elves are so inconsistent (ie: how Tyrande, the Matriarch, always ends up deferring to whatever male is around) it’d be hard to pin down their political views.

What’s really interesting is that, despite not fighting so much, we’re still active enough to regularly get people posting here by mistake.
