The Vulpera Recruitment Quest

Does Anyone else find it strange that the quest basically has you subvert an Organized Peon Protest in the most cynical way imaginable given what since has come to light about the labor situation within Blizzard in recent years?

Was I the only one weirded out by this?

No, you’re not the only one who found it weird, but not me. I’m certain there are other people who posted similar thread.

I don’t remember it. Care to summarize the issue with it?

OP: “Blizzard wrote story about peons revolting. Blizzard, of all companies. Blizzard doesn’t have any leg to stand on to write fictional story about peons revolting.”

It is just thread #123484783467879821360856129054036253 about mixing reality with fiction.

You basically become a strikebreaker.

Nope.

It’s like, “you won’t let us join so we’ll show you we are useful”

“Ok ok fine get on in here you.”

In order to join the Horde, the Vulpera decide to prove they are useful.

One of the places they go is Twilight Highlands, where the Peons are on strike.

The Vulpera decides to solve that:

  1. Gather meats to give them a good meal.
  2. Repairing their tools.
  3. Promoting 3 peons to “Peon, Rank 2”, “Senior Peon” and “Lead Peon”, respectively.
  4. Throwing a party for the Peons.
  5. Beating the union leader up.

After that the strike is over because Peons are dumb :smiley:

Nope and it’s 50% of the reason I hate Vulpera.
Also can we talk about how wildly in-character it is for Baine to let a race join based on their ability to screw over the most vulnerable members of the Horde? Without consulting anyone else as well?
God every time Baine does anything I just hate him more.

I mean, to be fair it wasn’t the Vulpera race that did it, it was one Vulpera (Kiro).

We can’t judge a whole race for the actions of one individual, otherwise we would consider all Tauren as spineless as Baine lol

It was written when all this stuff at Blizzard was coming to light. I suspect some of the developers who were targets of the labor campaign decided to use the game to make a dig at the strikers.

I meant it’s kind of the lot of the Horde player to be told their race is one big hivemind controlled by their leader. The Horde doesn’t get to have depth only the Alliance can.

But the cake is a lie.

The cake is not a lie, but the cake will last a day while the terrible working conditions will last forever lol

Sees complaints about Baine somehow making the Tauren people a hive-mind

Looks at the dizzying amounts of Garrosh and Sylvanas supporters essentially declaring permanent war should be the Horde MO and that questioning the Warchief should be a capital offense

… Huh.
