I would like to see a new story line for the Horde. Most of the post Thrall xpacs were tactical to get to the next xpac. I believe Bliz has failed the Horde. A strategic story line should be laid out, and not this “tag along to the alliance”. Maybe a contest, get a free mount, or a years subscription. I don’t want to take jobs away, but either the writers, or their editors, or… Please, please, restore some dignity to the Horde. I have ideas, but I’m sure many others have better, maybe even those on staff.

Bring back Sylvanas.

Best I can do is an entire expansion about the elves.
And the Horde elves are still gonna get overshadowed by the Alliance elf.

Sylvanas SUCKED. I am very glad she’s gone

I can’t wait for all the Alliance elves to run around Silvermoon while Lorthemar is regulated to weekly quest vendor!

The real victory comes when we get Turalyon there in-game and they have the ultimate form of the Alliance in their city:
The human male ret paladin.

Curious, (granted Sylvanas was a very polar leader) why did you dislike her?
Imagine the seething when their own, progressive, other-other-elf loving leader, Lor’themar, decides all the Elves are a family and screams ‘Silvermoon is free!’

There always going to be seething when elves involved. Catching me sleeping in my player housing till the forum drama gets good.

She’s just a badly written character in my opinion. She’s a great strategist and archer, but being mad at Arthas isn’t a good enough reason for the amount of power she has. She should not have been able to easily take down the lich king as she did in shadowlands.
Of course that, and I’m super biased against her because my main 2 toons are a Nelf and a Worgen

The Horde is a bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths whose only character trait is “me smash.”
There’s no way to make an interesting story out of them.

I’ll take it over hastily cramming Faerin in the story with little explanation and letting her be the one to do it because she’s part elf and somehow the ‘future of Quel’thalas.’

I totally agree on the Lich King. Yet I felt as a leader she had followers that followed her because they loved her, and followers that feared her. Kinda perfect for the Horde

Absolutely not let her stay in the hole she dug for herself then drop a big rock down it.

Hulk is a genius scientist who turned himself into a monster, and said monster only shows up when he gets angry.
Horde is made up of monsters who are monsters at all times and have no redeeming character traits sans the tauren.
Horde hasn’t had a good script since Mists. That’s the hard truth. Sylvanas was the absolute worst thing to ever happen to the faction and we’re STILL recovering from the narrative disaster that was Teldrassil. Afrasiabi did untold damage and we’re still feeling it. Putting a faceless council half composed of nobodies in charge has only compounded the issue. The new leaders never get to shine and there is nobody to rally around.
And now the Horde has no connection at all to the cosmic story going on. I agree the Horde deserves better story but they have to actually give us a foundation for one first and it feels like this current team would rather avoid writing Horde characters at all.

Yeah let her stay down there a few more expansions to do dailies for her Bolvar and Tyrande renown tracks.
i mean really really the forsaken are the only shady ones, even orcs arent bad, the only one bad orc was garrosh but he was an alien from outlands, not even horde orc, trolls are ok, tauren are super ok, with undermine goblins look ok, elves are just elves
