Let’s have a look as to why the Orcs are one of the worst races in the game.
When the Draenie came to their lands as refugees they were peaceful and kept to themselves causing no trouble to the Orcs.
This long lasting peace was destroyed when the Orcs decided to massacre all of the Draenie, including women and children.
Now let’s flip the exact same situation onto the Orcs and see how they behave in comparison to a noble race of people.
The Orcs homeland was dying and they entered Azeroth as refugees, the first thing they decided to do is conquer the whole world and kill it’s inhabitants, as oppose to living in peace as the Draenie did.
Years and years later when the Orcs finally settle down in Kalmindor, a land that does not even belong to them, their thirst for power is still not quenched, and they continue to wage war against the original inhabitants of the world.
To me this seems like a race of people who have no means of living in peace and prefer to be in a constant state of war.

This thread is going places…
Other than leading the Burning Legion to Draenor which resulted in the corruption of the Orcs and the formation of the Horde by their Eredar brethren, sure.

The Draenei renames the planet in their own language. That doesn’t sound peaceful to me. The last time some “refugees” renamed a country in their tongue, they called it “America” and we all know how that went.
And the lightforged showed us exactly what the Draenei would have done if the Orcs didn’t strike first. So conquest was pretty much inevitable.

The Draenei triedx to colonized the lands that belonged to the orcs and and the Orcs are scum? They were also pursused by an unrelentjg enemy and brought that to the orcs. They contaimined the orc culture and ruined them. We know based on the Lightforged Draenei that dranei could live just find in space.
The orcs was burtal in their response but thats how you respond to invaders of any sort. Look at what the Alliance did to the Horde or Night elves did to Horde and Alliance.

If I’m not mistaken the Maghar Orc storyline show exactly what would happen if Orcs and Dreanei lived in peace. Lightbound happens.

The orcs didn’t exactly do it on a random whim. They were expertly manipulated by Gul’dan and the Legion into attacking the draenei. Then later sold themselves to demon blood which made it worse.
The orcs have caused a lot of problems, but they aren’t entirely the ones to blame.

They wouldn’t have even met the demons if it wasn’t for Azshara. So technically it’s the Night Elves fault for electing an idiot to power based on her looks.

Now dont get me wrong. I like the draenei but what they did to the orcs was akin to briniging a heap of trouble and baggage to a people that had zero defense against the legion.
They havent even evovlef to the point to worship the light yet. They were still talking with earth elementals. Which are fine for everyday use or maybe even some skirmishes but defense against the fel they are not.
They should have never settled there. Azeroth would have been more welcoming.
Indeed these primitive lesser races need to throw away their dolls and totems and be reforged in the truth of the Light.

True, but the draenei needed a home too. They couldn’t rebuild a society just from living on a spaceship. And by chance they happened to find Draenor first, not Azeroth.
Plus they didn’t have a choice either. The naaru powering the Genedar were too weak to handle the trips anymore. They barely even made it to Draenor and after the crash landing had no way to leave again. It was all or nothing gambling on it.
Orcs are not bad, they have some honor. It’s those undead who are ruining the hordes name. I’d be happy to purge the undead. The rest of the races are fine.

So basically you’re saying draenei are Zionists.
Except it wasnt. They could have sent an SoS to their army of the light and gotten another Naru to power it. Adal to show up with more ships.
They would haven known the Dark Star was turning dark. They did not have to settle on Draeneor but they choose to anyway and thus destroy a naive native species way of life. They might be good people but they were wrong for that . they have also lost worlds before and knew that Draenor ran the same risk.
They were invaders…a virus that ended up destorying that world. The orcs were the victims there.
However. That in turn does not give rhe orcs the right to invade the Alliance lands when King Llane had been perfectly willing to share. They deserve extermination for that.
