Please don't kill Gallywix

Erevien logic

“Gallywix remaining as Goblin leader by Thrall is good. Gazlowe being made Goblin leader by Thrall is bad”

I mean, he’s amusing in small doses.

The guy’s got going on 12,000 posts, most of which I presume are obsessing over fictional factions in a fantasy video game. It’s legit worrying.
That’s not even including whatever the count is on any previous accounts that got slapped with suspensions.

Despite being with WoW since launch, I try not to get wrapped around the axle about lore the way I used to. His existence is… grounding. Makes me stop and ask, “Is how I’m behaving about this piece of fiction anywhere near like Erevien?” If yes, I touch grass.

Consider the following possibility.

Gallywix, being well and truly beaten, decides in a last ditch effort to save his own hide to surrender his entire fortune to the Horde. Because even he’s smart enough to realize his money means nothing if he doesn’t live to spend it and he really is out of backup plans and quick retreats.

The now pardoned but penniless Gallywix becomes an adventurer to recoup his losses.

We get to continue seeing him be terrible but now the damage is small enough we don’t wonder how he’s still alive.

If players still want to kill him they can confront him and demand a duel. Which he will respond to by giving them a unique mount in exchange for going somewhere else because adventurers are in fact that easy to buy off.

Not even like a good mount. It’s some classic model that never got released for players.

I don’t. I want her to replace that useless fart Baine as tauren leader.

Nah, I’d rather see him dead. Preferably if it’s my goblin that gets to boot him off a cliff onto jagged rocks. And then crashing his favourite zeplin onto the body for good measure.

Always considered Gally=DJT. lol

Nope. Gally was always the really evil one, not the player or Goblin race.

This is so odd.
There are enough bad and evil characters in game that proves your take wrong.

Not every character needs to be a hero. I dread Goblins becoming bland and boring.

Why would we kill Gallywix? We can just send him off to exile.

Some of the Alliance are not the monsters some are making us out to be.

Well my goblin wants to because of the whole ‘took every citizen of Kezan that had money to pay for the ship ride away from the exploding isle, and then went about selling them all into slavery’ thing. No freaking clue why Thrall let him live, let alone become the leader of the Horde-alligned goblins (especially when Gally tried to kill Thrall as well. What the hell was Cata Thrall on back then?)

Or we villan bat Umbric. How does that sound?

I’m also not a big fan of Umbric.

There is a pattern here and Blizzard thought we wouldn’t notce it.

There is a Island called Isle of Exile. That starting island. We can exile all the bad npc’s there as punishment.

Create a new start zone for new alts to train as recruits.

Gallywix crimes are not as nigh as other villains so I am willing to give him amensty.

I think what they want is for the entire Horde to be the evil villains to the Alliance Good. Both Doremy and Erevien.

No I want Blizzard to stop turning former Horde leaders into raid bosses just because the alliance is too sacred to them to fight something that isn’t green.

It just occurred to me why they’re getting rid of Galywix. WotC in their infinite wisdom has completely removed all references to slavery from the D&D books. There isn’t a single creature in the game now that takes slaves, and apparently, they never did in their entire history. Taking slaves is something that does not and never did exist in the D&D universe now.

And I think Blizzard is copying them. Given that Gallywix explicitly tried to enslave the goblin PC and every other goblin on Kezan, this makes him irredeemably damaged goods for a “modern audience” and so he has to be shown the door. It has nothing to do with anything in-game, he’s getting the boot for woke reasons.
