I’d also like to throw in that a faction war should be literally impossible when one side (the Alliance) has god like leaders on their side. The Hordes leaders consist mainly of warriors of some type while there’s like 2 who actually have some real power. Velen, Anduin/Turalyon, Alleria, Tyrande, Jaina, you get the idea. But the biggest offender was Malfurion. In game Malfurion is a little female dog, book Malfurion could paint all of Azeroth red with Horde blood…two coats.
It just makes the Faction war seem stupid when you have knowledge that at any point in time those leaders could just wipe out all of the Horde in an instant yet we have to pretend like we’re in an actual struggle.
