Kezan is absolutely nowhere near Khaz Algar. It’s all the way at the Maelstrom. I don’t understand why people think that’s going to be patch content.

I am happy we ain’t gonna kill goblins for no reason. The trend of killing Horde races as villains is finally over.
The Isle of Quel’danas wasn’t anywhere near Outland, but it was relevant to the story because they included the Burning Legion and it was relevant to blood elves, who were a part of that story.
Setting everything in and around our expansion islands is how the World of Warcraft feels less like the World and more like the Themepark of Warcraft.

Undermine makes no sense unlike Blizzard wants an actual goblin capital city in the game and that DESERVES a proper introduction and not just another mega dungeon where we kill as many goblins as possible. The Beledar Island is a much better setting since the goblins will be the heroes and not abused as mob NPCs.
We’re making an awful lot of assumptions on what the goblins and the Arathi are going to be doing on this mystery island.
Lets not get ourselves too excited, I got a feeling some are going to be disappointed by the content once we learn the official details

Pretty sure it has to do with the venture company. I have a bone to pick with them on my goblin warlock. A lot of venture employees about to get their souls drained.

I take any story were the goblins are NOT the bad guys.
We don’t know that either. We just have some dialogue from two goblins about a mysterious island with crystals on it

I am hoping for the best case right now.
It’s worth remembering that the idea of an Undermine/goblin based patch was brought up because people datamining found references to a “goblin raid” attached to several new gear icons. Generally that stuff gets named after the focus of the raid, the things that we’re fighting, so goblin raid would mean a raid about fighting goblins. Maybe Venture Co. so things are a little more diverse but still.
We also still don’t know what patch this relates to yet. Are these teases for 11.1 or 11.0.7? Are we going to follow these guys to the island with the crystal and then from there to Undermine or Kezan or some other stronghold? Nothing is off the table just yet.

We also don’t know if that supposed goblin raid is or has been scrapped. There’s plenty of things people datamine about every expansion that never actually make it live

That’s very true.
Case in point Magatha Grimtotem and her bodyguards were datamined for Dragonflight and ended up a no-show.

Or the place under ironforge that was there since vanilla and was never used until the Magni story. Place was there, we no clipped into the area constantly and it was just unused stuff for like 10 years or so until it was used to turn Magni into a diamond.

Imagine a flying goblin fortress with state of the art technology and weapons. Amazing.

Perhaps they want to establish a means to reach the Arathi Empire?

Perhaps. It’s certaintly something I did consider. I suppose the only two questions I have would be
-
Where is this island in relation to the mainland Arathi Empire
-
What are the crystals that are supposedly all over and is Beledar part of a much bigger structure that we haven’t seen yet

Clearly we are finally getting a Tinkerer class. Clearly.
Jokes aside looking forward to Gobbo lore, especially without Gallywix being involved.
Until it blows up because they use the most efficient fuel ever… that is also super unstable. And probably leave barrels of oil and explosives everywhere.
