I could see that being a reason to ditch the title. Could also prevent the inevitable “new warchief, next to die” meme.
For the alliance, might not get crowned king but nobility or an official position in the military or with si:7 would make sense. Probably a direction blizz does not want to go in but that’s the problem with power fantasy, it’s exponential and this is an MMO with other players.
Murder hobo. I don’t know if given the option you had in red dead redemption 2 or fable where you have the good/evil meter that i would take good though.
The “non-glamorous” functions are what NPCs are for. Even within our professions (Blacksmithing, Alchemy, etc) we’re working wondrous things compared to your run-of-the-mill town/city blacksmiths and alchemists.
Peon wood gatherer. Like the ones you club over the head in Durotar. Lazy bums always sleeping on the job. That be me 
I would make sure to crash every economy and kingdom I knew so that the people were given the power and comfort they deserve. I would seek to use my power to extinguish greed and destroy any kind of hierarchy that exists in any society. I would obliterate any caste systems and erase any lineage of kings that threatens my liberation of the common people.
Resources would be spread amongst all, more than enough for all, schooling would be more widespread and accessible, and no one would have worry about starving in the cold dark anymore.
And then I’d sit back and relax amongst a happy, peaceful Azeroth.
But then some would say they need more as they point to why others shouldn’t and and then others would also say the same. Then two feet would be better then four feet and you’d have to find a way to still keep everyone happy less they revolt.
I think that kind of thing is more “second life” than WoW. You play a battle hardened champion of Azeroth. That’s the character. You can put a lot on that framework, but it won’t bend that far.
I feel more like an anti-hero. It all depends on who’s paying me.
If people need more then we make more. Everybody starts at the same level of comfort and rises up. Nobody’s gonna be better than the other. Equal and equitable quality of life under my tyrannical rule.
And if they revolt?
Psh. I’ve done the grind to get revered with the Bloodsail. I know a thing or two about crushing rebellions singlehandedly.
My title would probably be murderer just because let’s be honest here, I skip the story and I’m only playing this game too well, murder things you know. Like players, mythic+, antagonists, etc. But overall, I’d be an anti-hero. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t help the shadowlands,
“I’m no hero… I’m just an old killer…
Hired to do some wet-work.”
Also some spare change would be nice.
We’re all really just a bunch of murder hobos anyway.
I’d consider being a villain; they get all the best lines.
My characters (almost all of them), -are- adventurers, or sorcerers, or just people out in the world, but they’re never -the- hero.
I loathe the idea of being put on that pedestal, even in the meta, because it’s not rational or believable. We suspend disbelief all the time in fiction/fantasy, but we’re playing a game that millions(?) of others are also playing, all of us doing the exact same quests, the same raids, the same dungeons. There’s only so far I can go with suspension of disbelief.
We didn’t all kill Illidan, or Argus, or whoever else. I wish we could go back to facing more ground threats where it would make sense for our characters to be the ones doing the heroic stuff. Just, you know, reasonably heroic stuff.
I just entirely ignore the main story now, avoid the hero tropes, and just do some RP about cool adventures. So no, I wouldn’t want my character to be “the hero” in game.
It might have been interesting for Wow if we started in the tutorial area as a commoner that had to choose how to aid our faction.
There was a MUD I used to play back in the day. It started us with our race/appearance choice only. We then travelled in town to talk to appropriate npc’s to choose our class. Until we picked a class we were a ‘commoner’.
I would still be a murder hobo, after all I basically agreed to become part demon just so I could have the power to fight back against the Legion. But I would pick to do so without with out all the pomp and circumstance.
