For killing Admiral Taylor off screen. I followed that man into hell and back and asked for more. I suffered furry Pandas with that man and you offed him on some backwater orc planet…

Worse off, if you read the quest text and stuff you pick up in that garrison, you get the sense that some real interesting stuff went down…and we MISSED it all!
Edit: And we missed Wrathion!

Know what woulda been cool?
In Legion, if instead of raising Thoras Trollbane as Dk, we raised Admiral Taylor, so Taylor and Nazgrim could be brothers in Death.

IIRC, his body got…like …Varian’d. And his ghost was around? So we wouldn’t have been able to DK him.
Had they NOT done that, yes, he would have been an amazing choice.
:o Oh. My. Glob…

I used to feel that way about Saurfang…
Now I’m envious of Admiral Taylor’s ending.

Admiral who?
But we did get to see him later after we had words with Cordana at Khadgar’s tower.
Eh… I mean, it’s not like he was killed and removed offscreen unlike a certain female Si:7 member in Legion. Taylor’s still around, he’s just a bit intangible. And considering how common undeath is in WoW I’m not sure death even means much anymore.
That would have been more better than Trollbane. If a Horde Champion can be raised as a Death Knight why now Taylor?
The Horde Bias from the Devs now in days never fails.

The Nazgrim of Alliance didn’t get the same epic death as his counterpart. I’m ok with that.
That really does not matter. Gul’dan was able to put the soul of an Orc in to an Elf body to make the first Death Knight.
He deserved better. It’s another casualty in the long lists of things WoD killed. : \
Killing Calia off screen was annoying too.

Problem is that, at the time, we had no lore way of getting back to AU Draenor. Once we left the link was closed and their timescale was different from ours as it had been 40~ years there by the time we went back for the Mag’har. They were only able to get there because they found another shard and had the help of the Bronze Dragonflight.
Getting to Taylor would have been a monumental task in itself but his body also was consumed to create Soulscythe who the adventurer then destroys.
I’m also still annoyed that Cairne got killed off-screen, I will never forgive that as he was my fav character from WC3

Yeah I prefer the books that don’t really deal with main characters and leaders. There were a few that dealt with stuff like Hemet and the Darkmoon Faire people.
Hemet is a main character.
Not in the sense of the bigger books like The Shattering or Tides of Darkness. He’s a sidequest NPC.
Technically he is still around.
Ghosting around your garrison. Hooking up with all the ghost orcs he wants.
