No Justice for the Kaldorei (9.1 Spoilers)

Y’all are both just exhausting.

I’ve talked about this at length in another reply here ( How can we make WoW Great Again? - #120 by Vanforth-wyrmrest-accord ) but the issue is that Blizzard really can’t do right by “you” (being the Night Elves), because they don’t tell stories concerning race as often anymore.

Blizzard has boiled WoW down into two narrative straightways: Horde vs. Alliance, and Heroes vs. Big Threat.

We aren’t humans, Kaldorei, Orcs, Forsaken, and other races anymore, we are simply HORDE, ALLIANCE, or HEROES. Nothing more than that.

It’s hard to tell narratives focused on specific racial cultures with the limited time/resources they devote to the story; they instead focus on telling broad arcs that will poorly deliver, but touch on something for everyone.

All the Kaldorei problems become an Alliance issue, just as the Forsaken problems are a Horde thing; the races are nothing more than a footnote, at this point.
