And the Winter Queen and Elune are sisters so…
Elune is a robot too? Have the Night Elves been worshipping female C-3PO this whole time?
This is why you don’t try to explain every little detail of everything in fiction.

I’m treating the bodies more as vessels rather than actual robots, since when we go to make a new Arbiter, there’s five massive spherical First Ones devices.
The First Ones knew their Pantheon could fall and had backup Pantheon agents waiting for a physical vessel to inhabit.
So they’re more like the Bio-Frames from Warframe than outright Robots. It’s why Pelican Pelagos was able to become the new Arbiter, by being absorbed in place of the destroyed soul from Zerith Mortis.

Not even the good, interesting robots either.
Where’s the 2B and company robots from Neir Automata? Where are the robots that barely look human but are so human that scenes made me genuinely feel for them because they’re more human than most people in the modern day?

The First Ones are basically just mega titans, right? It’s basically the same scheme as before.
If Elune’s a Robot, then that means the Titans are also Robots. Meaning the Burning Legion was being controlled by a Robot being manipulated by another Robot.
I can’t wait to learn despite the giant skeleton in Northrend, the Dragons are also revealed to be Robots.
Oh I actually like this take a lot.
I haven’t finished the campaign so maybe something I missed or overlooked.
Yet it’s a pretty fun take, it’s like saying, gravity is a cosmic force that uses a vessel to inhabit so it can interact with the material universe or something. So you could even say Elune doesn’t have a physical form but to interact with the material universe they inhabited individuals like Tyrande. Maybe Elune doesn’t have a dedicated vessel or something else but idk I don’t hate it but I still don’t like shadowlands lol

robots…sigh.
“nice idea”… bad company, please know what you are doing? learn how to become a gaming company again, that has a clue?
Blizzard has shown these past two years that they’re comedically terrible at writing stories that have any real bit of complexity to them. I applaud their writing staff for being so bad at their jobs yet somehow keeping them.

Tbh almost everything in wow used to be robots, I’m beginning to fear that this whole game is star wars episode 10
You know, I was going to challenge this casually but then I realized how right you are. Azeroth seems more and more like the story team went “Hey you know the disappearance of the Dwemer in the Elder Scrolls? What if we did that but like… really went ham on all the leftover robots going haywire thing.”
You know, I think I’m actually kind of sad at how the Titans and First Ones turned out.
It actually was kind of compelling that the forces of order and “good” were machine-like, obsessed with perfection and failed to act compassionately where their programming didn’t allow it. The idea of your best protectors being sentient robots limited by AI is actually ripe for exploration.
Alas. It feels like it’s just become “robots are good when they glow yellow and bad when they glow any other color.”

You have to look for the serial number micro-etched into the bone. Or just tell the dragon to “look up and to the left” while it’s still alive.

Every single time I see the title of this thread on the forum, I accidentally read it as “So the death pandaren are …” and do a double-take as if I haven’t already had umpteen chances to remember what it actually says.

You’d think me, a Mechagnome would be happy that everyone in the universe but gnomes was wrong. But even I am pretty annoyed by it all.

What’s with this setting and everybody being secret robots?
It was sort of an interesting twist in Wrath when we learn men, dwarves and gnomes come from robots who got a literal skin condition from Cthulu.
But even then it was pretty god damn silly. Redoing that twist for the Eternal ones is inherently stupid because eternal means without beginning or end. But clearly they had a beginning if somebody built them.
I get the idea. It’s supposed to spark intrigue because Ooo who built them?. Probably Anakin Skywalker on Tatioone - who cares?
For the love of God can we please just get an expansion about a Pirate King or any villain with comprehensible goals or motivations?
