Pandaren were a mistake and BfA is evident of it. Pandas have gotten no representation in the game since Mists of Pandaria and the Horde leaders talking about Baine being gone is further proof. Every Horde leader except Ji has given their input on Baine leaving.
Why? Because Blizzard wants people to forget about pandas and wants to forget we exist. Sad but true. Blizzard knows everyone who picked pandas picked them as a joke or lost a bet like me. Pandas are the oppressed race on Azeroth.
I call it Mist of Pandering. Entire expansion was designed to pander to a Chinese audience. People have rewritten history because Cat and WoD were horrible but that expansion destroyed this game.
