Alleria didn’t have a rivalry with Xalatath, either… until Blizzard invented it to make her the focus of the story.

Oh but you see, Alleria has a direct link to the story because…

It’s what people in the fandom want. Remove the factions and bring all the races under one roof regardless of all the lore and story reasons. All for the sake of player convenience.
No, it’s what a handful of whiny Alliance players wanted, with their whole “nobody plays Alliance anymore, I can’t even fill a 5-man dungeon group” drivel during BfA.

Source? Notice how I’m not claiming the fandom as a whole wants what I want? Because I cant prove that.

LOL. Oh i get it. No amount of logic will sway you.
Horde will have a much bigger role in midnight, of this im sure.
Half of what you mentioned is inconsequential. Trols, be, and tauren should be in the story soley because they can use light magic? Thats your reasoning?
Then you point at alleria and dismiss literally her whole story just because she is alliance.
You disregard that she is void touched while her husband is bound to the light. The literal theme of this saga…
I would imagine he is spending time with his family and prepping his daughter to be the next warchief after The Last Titan.
Well, it was Thrall who brought the Horde fleet.
Honestly, I’m just glad they started using the lesser used characters (like Moira and Gazelowe) instead of relying on Jaina and Thrall to do all the heavy lifting.
Not under one roof, just not restricted by the faction system. I want to see more interstate conflicts, not just faction based conflicts because then you always have to find a reason to why all the factions need to fight the other factions and that is how you end up with BFA.
Let the world grow on itself without factions hampering it down. Faction based game? Yeah, it might have been but like all things, time changes.
We got some good goblin content and it isn’t hampered by “horde only story”. Instead, it is a goblin story and others can join in if they wish.
Give me more of that in the future. Let me see an Orc warband attack a Tuaran village and have inter conflicts. Let me see humans fighting against night elves.
Let me see actual realistic conflicts and not bend in a preztle to make sense why the taurans would burn down a world tree.
You mean his son, his son is a blademaster right now. But he doesn’t want to be war cheif, in fact, war cheifs are a tradition created by the legion in a way to manipulate the Orcs into one faction, when they were more separate with their own conflicts against each other.
Since Metzen is back and in charge of writing Midnight, Thrall will probably be center stage. Green Jesus will be back.
Well, that is a given. They reverted back that he got his shaman powers since the shadowlands. Literally revert it back after DF for TWW, the only explanation is Metzen asked them to so he can do a superman returns with Thrall.
Is this the same Metzen who wrote him out after the first leveling zone in WoD and ruined him in Legion?

I was soooo looking forward to doing delves with Gazlowe.
I’ll never forgive Ion Hazzicostas for this.

Ugh, no, that sounds absolutely awful. The very last thing horde races need for content is MORE fighting each other.

Thrall has been promoted and is now mostly management. Hard to make that exciting in a video game.

How about orc content with them joining humans to hunt down a corrupt dragon that took over a town?
I want more small adventures like in the warcraft comics. I see integrated npc adventure groups now in hallowfall and wish I can join them on their adventure that isn’t just cosmic fighting.
Thrall was very important in a post-campaign quest where he helped a woman learn that she was more awesome than the man who preceded her. Because that’s very original. Again.

Meh. At least it’s not “evil horde” yet again, but on the whole I’m still not really interested in following around humans, elves, dwarves, etc. Especially since I have no confidence that any supposed cross-faction neutral cooperation questing wouldn’t just revolve around humans as the centerpiece anyway.
What I thought made the horde special as a WoW faction was being able to play as a hero protagonist as and among other monster races, even if the “normal” races don’t see you as such. As far as I know, it was a unique premise among fantasy games.
Nearly all of that has been permanently ruined since then, and while I’m not opposed to the idea of the two sides occasionally working together (like, say, at the end of questlines), I think having them together at the start functionally becomes no different than the horde race(s) being a token sidekick instead of something meant to be seen as an equal.

If they do it like the comics, it would be more interesting. Like there was a group of adventuerers in one of the comics that the leader was an orc shaman women with the blood elf and forsaken being the odd ones out. The belf, because he was a zealot with the light and found shamans savage and the forsaken, well he was a warlock and he was undead, which put off the druid in the group and the belf.
The orc shaman lady had to keep her foot down and lead this group. That is some interesting story there without it just being “you’re human so you do human things and you’re orc so you go zug zug”.
Even more now that a lot of the newer races are more like ambassadors than actual members of the faction.
edit: also in the comics, a centaur joins the group, which ANGERS the Tauran in the group and always throwing racial slurs at the poor little thing until they get along.
