“We didn’t realise our manufactured slave/meat shield race didn’t like it, we should be kind to them now”
Honestly, that ignorance makes dragons overall even worse. Other half of drakonids that are happy to die for dragons are not helping this case.

(atleast owls in SL are not actually living beings)
p.s. i really like that there are dialogue options where you can basically tell Alex that drakonids were born slaves and should stay slaves, are not equal to dragons and can be executed.

To be fair.
They’re Dragons.
They don’t think like us mere mortals.

that’s why they can’t be trusted and we should just kill them all.

I did think it was a bit ham-fisted, lol.
The rebels legitimately had a point- they don’t know the Aspects like we do.
They just took care of “their stuff” for 10k years, and Aspects claimed ownership when they came back. That blows, they were gone for generations.
And the Aspects even treat us like errand boys, you honestly sympathize.
Also sidenote, the quest where you capture a bunch of rebels seemed bugged to me, and I would try to capture them and it would just enrage them but still count. For every single one, lol.
I slaughtered so many rebels, just because.

Alexstrasza: Belaphon, this rebellion has gone long enough. As has our poor treatment of the dragonkin.
Alexstrasza: I’ve asked to bring you to the Seat of the Aspects so we can discuss the rights and respect that are fair to dragonkin.
Belaphon: I’m glad you’ve come to see reason! We’ve fought long and hard for…"
Alexstrasza: Belaphon! This decision comes in spite of your violence, not because of it.
Well clearly it WAS cause of the violence cause thats the whole reason you even considered the feelings of your slave race from the start. Without the violence, this conversation never would have even happened.

This quest line oddly reminds me of an episode of Hey Arnold. Where Helga thought Phoebe liked helping her with all sorts of things. She didn’t even think for a second she was overworking her. And they talked it out. Phoebe does like helping, she just needed a break.

I’ve been asking since before this expansion released why we’re helping dragons.
We should be slaying them. All of them. Especially the black dragons.

We are still currently under the threat from Blue Dragons. In their questline you can clearly see how in mortal territories they police magic usage without even consulting with local government.
We’re like one step away from another Malygos situation (if blizzard would actually care about consistent longterm storytelling i mean)
I mean, considering Azerothian mortals can’t be trusted in any capacity with magic, I’d police them too as a magic dragon.

We’ve got nothing to worry about from them. If anything, their inherent need to “police” the general population in regard to magic says more about the population than it does about the dragons.

Only 1 dragon has existed I deem good.
And he lives at the top of a mountain, and teaches thuums to monks and Dovahkiin.
wow dragons however…should be put down for incompetance.
who knew leaving evil dragons to simmer in rage for 1000’s of years instead of jsut killing them would end badly.
most people with a brain in their head are going…umm, we did.
We’ve killed murlocks in the 1000’s…and the worse they do is maybe kill a villager who wanders to close to a river sometimes.
And that’s jsut murlocks. I’ve killed 1000’s of things…for their pants.

It’s honestly difficult to sympathise with Alex at this point. In the entirety of DF I keep questioning why we feel the need to help them.

We need a reason to say “Order bad, let’s kill the titans.”

Alright, champs, today we’re going to talk about lobster hierarchies and why an ordered civilization depends on an ordered individual. Yes, that’s right. If you don’t clean your room, Azeroth is doomed. Dragonkin are the natural servants of dragons, that’s just how it is. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s just the way it works. You don’t ever talk about liberating the leaves from the branches of the trees: they’re a component of the whole, and though the leaves will never be the tree itself, and will never have the qualities or responsibilities of the tree itself, they have a purpose to fulfill in the ordered hierarchy of the greater whole. What happens if a dragon gets hungry and wants a big bowl of fruit or exotic meats? What happens if it gets an itch on its back and feels it would be unseemly to just rub up against a mountain to scritch it? Dragonkin, that’s what happens. Somewhere nearby, there needs to be a dragonkin to fetch that delicious food or scritch its master’s back with some (doubtless) gilded dagger or fist weapon. What else even is there for them to do? Dragonkin are basically engineered to not have thoughts beyond their station, and if they ever do there are plenty of generous dragons around willing to devote time to their reeducation, I’m sure.

If dragons hate order so much - they’re free to devolve back into animals.
Honestly if you remove the fact that protodragons locked ties with the elemental lords ( which makes sense since dragons are literally offsprings of the elements ) and refused another element (order) that have been seen clearly corrupting stuff and changing their way of thinking. I could easily see how the order dragons are the evil ones for forcing and then trapping anyone that didn’t go their way
Sure but leaves aren’t screaming back for fair treatment and or need sustenance or shelter. Or to reproduce.
I’m pretty sure my toon spent most of this quest trying to figure out how she never realized how dense Alex was before this quest.
I can’t wait to kill Alexstrasza! Hopefully she drops a dragonriding skin!
