So you’re solution is to blame the Horde players for what the writers did with their faction? Like, I understand the desire for retribution, but the thing that bothers me is the “what about after”?
The Horde Faction Identity and Several of its core Racial Identities have already been shattered to pieces. The remaining character roster is an absolute joke of undepowered, underdeveloped, or just downright underused reps. Especially when compared to the Alliance. The Horde story is incredibly bad shape, and its going to take an enormous amount of time and resource investment to even start repairing it. Hell, structurally, most of the Horde is about the same condition as the NEs alone are … but with far less built characters to rebuild off of. Its amazing truly how much structural damage Blizz has caused here to the Red Faction. Damage they are far more likely to sweep under a rug and ignore. Just as they are attempting with Teldrassil.
Now imagine if the Alliance got the revenge and justice someone like Phea is hoping for? Imagine the state of the Horde after? Imagine just how much work and effort and time that would be required to rebuild an entire Faction from the ground up; with 15 years simply burned to ash? Because, you have to consider such when tailoring your expectations of these outcomes, because if you don’t … then you’re expectation is that the Horde Playerbase be rendered with little to look forward to for your immediate satisfaction. I don’t mind in the slightest if the Alliance were to gain their satisfactory conclusion here, IF and ONLY IF they were willing to allow for the immense “Horde Favoritism” that would be required to rebuild what was broken to such extremes.
The Horde was punished this expansion. Brutally. Mercilessly. It just wasn’t punished by the Alliance, which has left this rift of lack of satisfaction for the Blue Team.
