Well thenā¦ Baine would be sorely disapointed in them Iām sure. <Next thing, sees Baine in the background manically laughing, weapon raised -chasing a treant running in fear with tears streaming down its face>
ā¦ Hmm, it appears I have now lost faith in the Horde.
Jokes aside, thatās still sadly disappointing ā¦ Though, then again - The Ancients (The trees, not the Wild Gods / Loa) were siding directly with the Alliance so itās not necessarily huge deal them to be burning them. But the forests themselves / hurting the Furbolgs etcā¦ Blizz, why!?
Oh please. Night elven questing has you massacring entire furbolg tribes to āpurge them of corruptionā whenever a furred biped so much as sneezes. Itās not even cloaked under another guise at this point. In the War of Thorns, after a Horde WQ has you violently coercing one furbolg tribe, the Alliance WQ has Delaryn declaring that means theyāve been corrupted and need to be put down.
Yeah, one of the prime reasons when people responded to my Furbolg Nuetral Allied race thread - āFurbolgs been Allied race is fine, as long as their Alliance only, Horde are the only oneās that hurt them!ā
I respond with "What!?"
But yeah. Sad times for the lil Bear-peeps.
People were mad about drust Kultirans. Drust forsaken? Na, druids everywhere would lose their minds!
Also, people are mad about the horde slaughtering a few dozen furbolgs, yet the NE drove all the murlocs insane?! Shame! jk, no one cares about murlocs.
Horde has some solid druids, we just never see them do anything. Our druids also suffer from a similar issue that our leaders do. They all chose the martial vocation over magical.
Runetotem, ZenāTabra, and now Loti are all feral druids that focused their training on shapeshifting and martial combat, and in the Warcraft universe that is a strictly weaker option than going for a caster focus.
There is only so much a non-caster can do.
What would be nice is if there was a group of Horde druids and shamans working in Ashenvale or something to regrow the trees being cut down and heal the land of any Blight that was used. At least show that the Horde is cleaning up its own mess instead of painting our shamanistic nature worshiping faction as violently opposed to all things natural.
I mean the āAlliance did nothing wrongā crowd could use a few identifiers, and seeing how many of them start stapling quotes from people they think they are āsmarterā then is a good start.
