Were I leader of the orcs, I wouldn’t let my race die just because the night elves think they’re as important as trolls do. They’re ancient and they’re wrong about their land rights because they can’t defend them. Ashenvale is orc land. It could’ve remained nelf land, if nelves offered to sell lumber at decent prices. They did not. Nelves want it all. They’re greedier than orcs are. Orcs at least live in a desert. Nelves claim most of Kalimdor as “their land.”
Now they suffer for their greediness, as they should.
I hate PvP in general. My reaction time is not fast enough for when dealing with real people. But there was a rep to grind, and so I happened to get it by chance as I worked towards the Justicar title.
I mean they could defend it. They just are not allowed to by the writers because worfing the Kaldorei is how they show how terrible and big and bad the Horde is.
They just have done it so many times it has lost any trace of the intended narrative effect.
And the Night Elves always kick the Horde out again any way. Like, everything the Warsong or Garrosh ever tried never worked out, and the Night Elves even fought the Horde back in the mission table missions in BfA.
Varian Wrynn did it. Then the player did it (who could be a night elf. Mine was a Dwarf.) Then Varian did it again. And now no one’s done it, unless the missions tables are upheld. They could be. I don’t know if they will be though. I certainly didn’t read the mission table missions. I don’t know if Blizzard expects the average player to. We’ll assume it’s true for the purpose of this conversation, though.
The night elves have done it a grand total of once.
They also made the Kaldorei a bit dumb and inept at battle planning several times to prop up Varian while they were working to sell him as high king. The infamous “A Little Patience” quest line was the most direct example of this.
The Night Elves fixed Varian like they fixed the Worgen, so I’d give the Night Elves credit for Varian’s wins. And the Night Elves gave the player experience and helped them get stronger, so I’d give the Night Elves credit for that, too.
