The Horde: A Different Type of Heroism

I feel like I recall seeing some sentiment regarding Blizzard and the “faction motivation” issue. From what I remember, they basically misjudged both sides going into BfA - they thought the Alliance players needed a really hard kick to get invested in a faction war storyline

I have the quote for you, from Terran Gregory:

But, as we’ve discussed in similar medium that the burning of Teldrassil was very much supposed to do what it did. And that’s ignite a war. And it had to be big. It had to not be something that some people could objectively say “You know that, it wasn’t that bad, I don’t want to go to war,” right? It had to be something so absolutely war inspiring. And because of that, we knew, right? We knew that it was going to hurt, in a narrative sense, right?
