The Horde Council is a joke

I often got the feeling that the writers in Cata felt that the Alliance players didn’t like to fight and thus needed slain characters to motivate them

I don’t know about Cata, but that was explicitly stated in the case of BfA. Quote from Terran Gregory:

@Amadis-draka

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.
