I do not know what you are replying to? I did not talk about the Ren’dorei specifically. But yes, it is true that they had a decently sized presence in the War Campaign. As I mentioned in my post, some races had some story in the main storyline, some did not. But they all appeared nonetheless quite frequently.
I don’t think so. If our new allied races actually pulled their full weight we might had won the war instead of attacking our own city for a second time.
Why would we want Sylvanas to win compared to Anduin? 
Because the alliance sucks and they deserve to lose.
Not sure Goldshire is a good excuse. 
Concerning Teldrassil, feels like Sylvanas should lose.
…and if Anduin wins, nothing will happen to the horde.

Anduin talked us down in our own city lectured us on honor and was allowed to get rid of Saurfang, Nathanos, Sylvanas, Rastakhan and Gallywix. The whole of Bfa was giant middle finger meant to dab on the whole Horde and kill our faction pride forever so the blue team can feel like heroes again.

I still suspect they could’ve written the horde better but it would require different characters and the horde leaders unknown to the attack on Teldrassil. 
edit: Or have Saurfang win that duel. 
my god those things are so fugly they should require a spoiler tag

They simply repeated MoP just worse. That’s it. And no one liked it. The saving grace was the old god stuff.

No new city hubs. Not only are there not going to be any new ones, we’re not getting Darnassus or the Undercity back either.
Wash yer back for the Horde
I just hope that like the Dracthyr, the Earthen never have formal positions on the Horde Council.
When The War Within is done with, I don’t ever want to see a Dwarf of any variety, in any capacity.

Dislike!
The Horde needs dwarves. If nothing else, for the sheer joy of being a dwarf to balance out all the elves.
Dwarves are awkward because they’re probably the “core” race most welded to their faction. Humans, orcs, trolls, undead, even night elves; all those guys staff splinter factions we kill on the regular, and/or head up prominent neutral ones. Dwarves, not so much. The Dark Iron clan was their designated villain faction and it got promoted to playable on the Alliance. Everything I like about dwarves is confined to the Alliance. That’s where I’ll go when I want to play one, and I can’t imagine too many Earthen will feel dissimilarly.

Up to the individual Earthen.
As many as Blizzard feels like making NPCs for.
Blizz has never been interested on giving specific numbers on these things.
They’re probably doing the same thing they did with Dracthyr and just say that they’re working with the Horde.
Probably not.
Whatever the expansion city is going to be is probably going to be their city.
I’d be surprised if they did.
They likely going to be identical between the two different factions.
Yes.
Tbh, people said the same thing about Elves back when Belves were revealed as Horde for TBC.
Now there’s plenty Elves on both sides, nothing wrong with doing the same thing with Dwarves.
Sure, but elves debuted on the Horde with their own capital, zones, models, architecture, aesthetics, language, and enough lore to carry the expansion. The Alliance’s high elves shivered in night elf machiya before they had blood elf stuff to recolor. Horde dwarves are starting at an even bigger deficit, because whatever sets the Earthen apart from their descendants in the Alliance will also be Alliance content.

That’s a good way of articulating it. It’d be like if Alliance suddenly got like…Sandfury Trolls. It’d feel awkward. And yeah I’m sure in that case there’d be people who’d roll one and just love it to death and say “WE NEED MORE TROLLS ON ALLIANCE” as loud and as often as possible but no amount of cope is going to make it feel anything other than a square peg in a round hole.
That said Sandfury trolls would’ve actually been a lot cooler than the absolute abominations they’re rolling out with these Earthen.

I like these Earthen.
I probably would have been happier with a little more oomph put into them, but it’s kind of hard to judge until I get a real look at the customizations. Though, like Pandaren and Dracthyr, I hope they have some good excuses to be exploring and tag along with their new faction long after TWW is behind us.
Hopefully we see the Alpha of TWW soon enough to make a better judgement.
Right now, I’m just waiting for the pirate thing, whatever that is.
I have to survive summer before I can think seriously about UNDERGROUND ADVENTURES with my new rocky dwarves.
I wonder if I’ll be able to be a death knight and come up with a decent story for them. I have a LOT of Horde paladins, so that doesn’t feel quite as right, but I also have a lot of dwarf warriors already and a very important dwarf monk.
Man. I’m just going to keep hoping for dwarf druid. Rocky druid.
