Agreed some people are brainless followers because the weight of decisions and personal choice is too hard, eradicating such group would be a good thing since they are nothing more than pawns for whoever will lead them and just or unjust cause is irrelevant, they are slaves that will do what their master says no matter how wrong or unjust.
So eradicating them would be good : D
Whatever threats Blizzard pull out of their rear and decide are the "new big bad who threatens everything and are even spookier than the Legion, Old Gods, Void Lords, Jailer!
Also those threats have always been there! Just check this napkin draft notes that they made about the origin of the WoW universe.
It wasn’t her own agenda, really. It was a prophecy interpreted and that’s the way it had to be. There is no room for any deviation, alternative or other interpretation. It is what it is and that’s all it can be.
Ah, I understand what you meant now!
You forgot the actual birth of azeroth herself an event that would leave the planet to slowly die and become uninhabitable
Confirmed.
Show me where please
They said it at Blizzcon if I remember right, not sure about quotes/videos.
I mean the story route Blizzard is currently going is that literally every type of force in the WoW universe is evil. Kinda hard to run out of stuff with that type of plot.
Ah. Ok. Gonna look this up.
A sad fact, but an accurate one.
This is what I meant by a lack of free will. If you are subject to a prophecy and do not have the freedom, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, to resist that prophecy, then it can be said you lack free will – even if that lack of freedom stems from an unflinching belief in the prophecy itself.
Xe’ra did not think critically about the prophecy. It was and it would be, and this is why Illidan was able to destroy her. Had she thought critically and planned better, she might have been able to complete his conversion.
We had plenty of perfect candidates that we’ve simply thrown away… And we have one presently, who’s going to be appearing in Shadowlands.
Perhaps you’ve heard of this Kel’Thuzad guy?
Hmm. I have a difficult time seeing the Naaru like this. As being of pure Light, they are the Light. It’s not a freedom, per se. It’s more that there just is nothing else.
Which, perhaps is the point and I’m just not liking the word choice of “freedom.” Because “freedom” means they know there’s the possibility of something else. Which, to us on the outside, there is. But to them, there isn’t. They don’t know anything else but one path. The simple and straightforward is all there is.
A prophecy was seen. It was interpreted. That is all. And it’s not that other possibilities were rejected, they just didn’t exist.
If your creator doesn’t give you the ability to see reality around you, are you truly free to make your own decisions?
are there still those weaponized critters on the Stonetalon and Mulgore border?
no… on a unrelated note i now need to take my wagon to stonetalon and mulgore… for…fishing…
There still the void lords to deal with. For all we know they existed before the titans
There is no creator. They just are.
Decisions don’t exist to them. There’s no such thing.
Looking at it from our perspective, we can’t fathom how they don’t know they can choose.
But from their perspective, that word doesn’t have meaning. It doesn’t exist. It’s incomprehensible.
I think of it like the Prophets from DS9. They have absolutely no concept of linear time. It makes no sense. That’s not their existence.
I think this is canonically false, actually – Mu’ru willfully allowed himself to be captured and exploited by the Blood Elves, remember? If he accepted his role, that implies he had a choice and was aware of the choice.
There seems to be a very big difference between Naaru now and how they were originally depicted, so I’m probably misinterpreting.
