The writers can’t maintain a figurehead.
lmao.
this games story is garbage, that’s why.

Well yeah, depends on the source. Also stuff that is more nuanced is fine. Villains are also fine in fiction. A lot of that can be entertaining. It’s not supposed to be real life.
I kind of agree about shifting focus to smaller stories. Small things could snowball, after all. And it could act as a means for players to influence the world rather than being passengers for the ride the writers intend us to be on, lol.
Or both. Have small and big stories run simultaneously.

Pointing out the step down is not whining or crying that they are not as big. The issue is that if we can defeat those very powerful beings then a character like Gallywix is not a threat. Lore wise we have all these super powerful characters and any one of them could have killed Gallywix. Going smaller is not going to make sense, unless Blizzard does a DC/ Marvel thing have all of the overpowered characters sacrifice themselves to stop the big bad in Last Titian.
Have you ever read an actual history book? Despotism was rampant. Yes, there were some “good” monarchs in the past, but “good” is a relative term. In this case, while they didn’t kill their subjects willy-nilly, they would absolutely kill a man that was opposed to them, then his entire family just so they wouldn’t get pissed off and try to kill him later in some revenge plot. That’s not “good” by any measure.

With a council of shaman
With the desolate council
With loa that advise them
The kingdoms would have council meetings, as well the king has to answer to the nobles.

I don’t like the horde council because it devolved immediately after its’ creation.
When created it had specific roles. Baine led internal diplomatic affairs, Ji firepaw was foreign diplomatic affairs, Gazlowe was in charge of the economy of the horde.
Under this system there was room for there to be a “war chief” position as someone chosen to lead the horde military. Not the horde itself as a whole.
Then after the basis of the council was established it immediately become 'The horde council is just a group of representatives for each member race"
Like bad writing and story would EVER get in the way for Blizzard…

Someone here actually gets that councils was always a thing in the game. The fact people think it is modern and honestly do not think real life kingdoms didn’t have councils are kinda ignoring everything about the games lore and real life history. None of this is modern.

none of these attending counsels lead nor were they followed for the most part. name a time when trolls followed the word of the loa without immediately doing what they wanted instead. other than bwonsomdi. They asked loa for thier blessing in thier endevours, but not outright direction.
We see Greymane answer and follow with the nobels in the Gilneas fall. We see in WC3 the nobels are more concerned with the orcs than early rumor of the plague. The first Desolate council ran the Forsaken for the most part, Sylvanas was just typical Warcraft leader/hero so she remained prominent. The nobels (including Onyxia) ran Stormwind most notable causing the mason guild to become the defias brotherhood.
Other than an example of them doing what a loa said? Yeah you have the Zandalari, those that disregarded their loa are all dead now. This goes for every troll nation, every time they abandon their loa’s wisdom and get bloodthirsty they die.
