So, just so we’re clear on this, I, too, have been playing since vanilla WoW.
At this point, all I can say to you is, the criticisms you’re leveling just don’t make a ton of sense. While I’ll agree with you that Void Elves could have been handled better in their inclusion, none of the allied races are so absurd as to be unbelieveable.
It really seems like you’re saying “The allied races we have are terrible, THESE allied races are so much better!”. Which really comes off as either criticising for the sake of criticising, or wanting to cater exclusively to your own desires, excluding what anyone else wants or thinks.
Yes, the original creators that make Warcraft have moved on. This is true. But do you think they were all replaced by emotionless robots? Please, of course not. I’ll bet you every penny I have that they were (mostly) replaced by people that, like us, have a passion for Warcraft, both in the story and the world. Sooner or later, creators move on from their creations, if it’s something as long-running as Warcraft. It’s inevitable. But the people working on it now DO have a passion for the game. I simply cannot believe otherwise.
If you can look at the game right now, and tell me that the people behind the scenes don’t care about what they’re making, that the artists, writers, and the people who make the raids, dungeons, and zones are all jaded, cynical money-grabbing crooks, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Do such people exist at Blizzard? Of course they do. I’d be a fool to say otherwise. But YOU’D be a fool to say that no one there cares about Warcraft.
At this point, I’m done arguing with you. (Drops mic and exits thread)
