How does your character feel about peace between the Alliance and the Horde?

The Pook doesn’t have any hate or negativity. Don’t stab the Pook and the Pook won’t stab you.

When Mathias sends me to Warsong Gulch to get flags (what the Alliance or Horde needs with those flags is above my paygrade) the Pook gets flags and won’t stab you unless you’re trying to stop me from getting the flag or are trying to take our flag. Nothing personal, we all knew what we were getting ourselves into when we signed up for our factions Militia for Low Level Immortals.

When I’m not being sent to steal flags, or fondle orbs, or steal Azerite nodes or flip flags or any of the other stuff they send me to do, I don’t care about Horde or Alliance. I’m literally only freelancing with the Alliance Militia for Low Level Immortals because my civilian boss is so late and stingy with my pay (stay in school kids and don’t work for Goblins). Heck, usually when I show up for militia duty it’s just a whole lot of hurry up and wait and Matthias puts me on Rogue Booping duty in Stormwind. I patrol the city looking for stealthies, when I detect one I give them a boop. If they stab me I know they’re a baddie. If they don’t I let them go on their way.

Troll, Tauren, Orc, Vulpera, Goblin, Pink Elf, Stinky Bois, I don’t care. Welcome to Stormwind. Don’t stab me I won’t stab you. But no, you get these guys like Jimmy The Slippity Slippy Guy coming to Stormwind to start stabbing people and now you’ve become the Pook’s problem because the Old Gods know when I’m summoned to Stormwind because the Alliance wants flags chances are all I’m going to be doing is patrolling the city on Rogue Booping duty because gankers gotta gank.

Frankly I think it’s all just busy work Mathias gives the Pook so I won’t yell at him because I’ve been queued for battleground duty for over three hours only to have my queue popped to find myself and three other Alliance Low Level Immortals in the Seething Shore against eight Horde Low Level Immortals. Seriously Mathias!? Can you not count to ten? Do you not know that four is a smaller number than eight? What were you thinking Mathias? What were you thinking? But no… no… the Pook is going to do her best to get you your war candy and hope and pray that we get one more low level immortal on our side because if we don’t what’s going to happen? I’ll tell you what will happen. You’ll call the whole damned thing off won’t you. Three hours Mathias! You had me waiting for battleground duty for three hours only to call the whole thing off?

And it’s even worse when it’s four of us against eight of them AND WE’RE WINNING! Why are we winning? Because when Mathias says he wants war candy the Pook says “how much” with my pick axe swinging. All the Pook can say is thank the Old Gods for gankers because otherwise reporting to duty in Stormwind would be a colossal waste of the Pook’s time. At least Jimmy the Slippitydoo and Dead Guy Charlie and Axey the Axe Yiffer give the Pook something to do. What do you do for me Mathias? What do you do? You make my life a living heck! That’s what you do.

And I’m sitting there guarding the trading post and I see your pretty boi show up every day to buy you a pet. What happens to the pets Mathias? Where are the pets he buys you? I’ve never seen you with a pet once in my life Mathias? What are you doing with the pets?

So yeah, does the Pook have a beef with the Horde? No. Don’t stab the Pook and the Pook won’t stab you.

The Pook has a Mathias problem, not a Horde problem.

Life as a Level 20 Low Level Immortal ain’t easy.

  • When do you say enough with all the hate and negativity?

My character’s the manifestation of hate and negativity, for he had lost his homeland of Gnomeregan to the Alliance, and only seeks for the war to continue to weaken both sides.

  • When you decide you are tired of the content fighting between each other?

He’ll discontinue fighting once he can reclaim Gnomeregan.

  • Do you really desire to be stressed out day after day or do you for once want just a measure of peace?

He seeks peace, but his insanity prevents him from doing so.

  • Do you want to be able to walk through a city with both horde and alliance and just say good morning and have it said back with a courteous gesture?

He prefers to do so with the Shadowforge Dark Iron Dwarves and other Leper Gnomes.

  • Is it worth it to stress your body out by engaging in conflict after conflict just to have the final word or say?

In the case of the Horde and Alliance? Yes. He seeks conflict to weaken both sides.

Noone is a hero if the fight is for personal glory vs fighting for peace.

  • Are you fighting for peace for everyone involved or just yourself/your side?

Simply for the Leper Gnomes, and his allies, who are the Dark Iron Dwarves of Shadowforge City.

  • Do you enjoy making children orphans or destroying families just for revenge or can you be the better person?

The more misguided orphans, the better, as it only weakens both sides of the conflict, ensuring an easier probability of reclaiming Gnomeregan.

  • Is it worth destroying homes/nature/the world and leave it a mess?

At this rate, he cares less.

The Pandaren had it right for 10k years cut off from the world. Can you say the same? A few chose to be soldiers to handle the monsters so others could be happy.

He would be satisfied with cutting off Gnomeregan from the rest of the world.

  • Are you a humanoid or a monster?

Humanoid to some, monster to many (Leper Gnome).

  • A peace-keeper, or a villain bent on making everyone else suffer as you have?

Most definitely the villain.

Well, since this thread doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, I might as well…

Most of my characters are neutral and/or aren’t engaged with the faction conflict, often because they’re either part of groups with arguably higher (or at least more specialized) goals or they’re practically civilians. Those few characters of mine who have been part of the faction conflict tend to care more about their own people/nation than the associated faction. As such general peace between the factions might mean less to them than more local conflicts. Some of characters, such as two of my mages, even actively despise the factions in part because of their conflict and its side-effects, so I imagine they’d be somewhat pleased with that coming to some potentially lasting end.
