Never Forget. The Alliance kept orcs as slaves

As Wod points out, demon blood or no, the orcs are bloodthirsty maniacs bent on genocide and destruction. They chose to drink demons blood and they chose to destroy their own world, then they invaded another world to try to destroy that too.

You can phrase it like that but it’s pretty bad faith. You’d flee your planet too if it was that or death. I can only imagine the mental acrobatics that would drive you to say “They should stay there and die/become corrupted.” I shudder to think how that reasoning would apply in a real life situation.

I’m more interested in hearing how two wrongs make a right, seeing as the Orcs continued to do the same thing to another undeserving race and planet.

What if they let goblins pick the next expansion for once? World of Warcraft: Beach Party! It’d be a hit!

No one is pretending Camp Taurajo didn’t happen but anyone except for a troll you know the difference. The Alliance allowed the civilian population to LEAVE THE BATTLE. They didn’t drive them into one area and then fire bomb it once it was filled with the civilian population.

And the Alliance didn’t keep slaves, they keep prisoners of war. I guess they should have taken a page from the Orc handbook on “how to fairly treat prisoners” and instead used them as fuel to reopen the dark portal and toss their bones back thru.

“These refugees didn’t tell us that they were being tailed by bad guys, so I’m going to go through this mysterious portal and kill all of these completely different guys because we are just misunderstood!”

Never forget Theramore!

I dunno if the average WoW player could handle so much awesome in one expansion. You’d need a lotta endurance to survive a Goblin party, and there are few races who can keep rhythm with us.

Still, I like how you think baby doll!

How about a expansion called The removal all elves. That would be a big hit with the never happening High elves.

That was under Varian, and we did bad things too, remember when Jaina urged Varian to attack Thrall? Varian didn’t. Also Anduin is alot more mild and forgiving then Varian. Varian also allowed Saurfang to retrieve his son’s corpse. I will gladly allow Humans a place to speak. They’ve earned it. The past needs to remain the past. I am sure Alliance are not thrilled with our burning of Teldrassil. In Sl you get to pick a faction. You can play a race and choose if you want to serve Anduin or Sylvanas. Orcs are good people and I enjoy our friendship.

Not really.

Kil’jaeden via Gul’dan played into the whole “orcs will be conquerors” bit, which is why the orcs willingly drank the blood of Mannoroth. Grommash tells Thrall exactly that in WC3 during the final mission of the 2nd orc campaign.

I never knew doing something willingly = being forced to do it.

Just something to add here. The fact that we saw Grommash refuse to drink the blood, and actually challenge Gul’dan’s offer in the WoD cinematic is pretty good proof that it was willing.

He may have been tempted, but he wasn’t forced.

Pssh, we handled demon invasions, angry dragons, and Banshee Spice’s meltdowns, I think we are prepared.

I mean, what’s the worst that can happen? Skimpy beach transmogs? Footbomb arenas for PvP? Giant mech fights through downtown Gadgetzan?

This would be a beautiful thing to see, and Blizzard should make this happen as soon as possible.

The orcs had a literal prophet come in who claimed the Draenei were going to bring doom to the Orcish population and even then many of the clans outright refused to join the Iron Horde or were strongarmed into it.

…then years later the Draenei actually do start genociding the orcs, proving both Kil’jaeden and Garrosh ironically correct.

Are you insane?

Man you people are stupid.

Why ya’ll gotta take this troll’s bait?

I confess I’ve been anti-Alliance since the Defias quest line. Sure they took it too far, but they’ll really got shafted, and I had to murder every single one of them.

That’s not to say I’m pro-Horde though. However, if the Horde offered me a juicy quest line with a nice reward…

WoD orcs would like a word with you. It’s in their nature to conquer. They were just stupid and signed up to be slaves. They only had to be offered conquest to get them to sign up. It’s in their nature and made them easily used.

Mostly because it’s Monday night and funny.

I’m starting to wonder if you ain’t a Goblin in disguise, shortcake. Blizz needs to hire you, pronto.

Grom: Ah, Thrall. You always believed that the demons corrupted our race, but that’s only half true. We gave ourselves up willingly on Draenor! The other chieftains and I… we drank Mannoroth’s blood, Thrall. We brought this curse upon ourselves!
