    Sorry, sunshine, Orc Jesus fits the profile of a Mary Sue. He is the adoration that that narcissistic jackwagon Metzen craves. You are applying things literally without taking the fantasy aspect of WoW into account. Hell, Metzen even voices Thrall. How is that not Mary Sue?

    Give human/gnome/dwarf(yes dwarf!) minotaur/centaur/ogres dungeons and raids.
    No more troll raids would be just fine with me. That list minus dwarves, maybe tauren on there or some races that aren't playable just to shake things up.

    Troll bosses are the signature of troll raids..

    As I stated, there are NO troll raids (left) in the game, only the 4 troll bosses I mentioned..

    New bosses since patch 3.0
    As you can see, this is not the case at all.

    History has shown us that whenever Trolls are involved with anything the Horde and the Alliance will drop whatever they're doing at the time.
    Anyone else sick of the obvious Troll favoritism that Blizzard pushes on the playerbase? Trolls are involved in more raids than any other race. Well no more! I demand that we have more gnome raids! It's only fair considering that there are thousands of hardworking gnomes in each and every Warcraft cinematic who don't get the recognition they deserve.
    I actually agree with you OP, the game has a plethora of races to base a raid off of.

    Keep in mind that most races whether most people know it or not already got there time in the sun.
    Siege of Ogrimmar: Soon to be Orcs
    Firelands: Druids of the Flame (Mostly Nightelf)
    Ulduar: Iron Dwarves, Mecha-Gnomes
    The Eye: Blood Elves/Sin'dorai

    Races that have yet to have their own raid:
    Tauren, Forsaken(Non-Scourge), Humans, Worgen, Goblins, Pandaren

    Cynically speaking I think Blizzard/Metzen is trying to appease what he thinks is the largest fanbase of a race meaning he won't take a chance on anything new.

    In short they are already hemmoraging money so they keep pushing raids that we've seen before because anything new is too risky.

    Even shorter explanation: "if the horse is starting to slow down beat it to death."

    As you can see, Troll bosses account for a mere 3.389% or all raid bosses in the past 3 expansions.

    It should be clear this thread is about the mastery of Trolls.

My friend has an idealized female protagonist who is perfect and a bad ass with no flaws besides also being a vampire. See where I am going, my friend is not female and is not a vampire but he writes about his Mary Sue over at the Mass Effect Fan fic site. Swing around to Thrall he has all the qualities of a Mary Sue, he is perfect, uncompromisingly good, Strong and powerful, as a beautiful wife, was the leader of a faction but now the leader of a neutral organization that is respected even by people he fought. He is loved by more woman, feared by men. And has never actually made a wrong choice. He should sell Beers for Dos Equis.
    I don't always leave one of the biggest superpowers in the world in the hands of a genocidal maniac, but when I do, it's to save the world.

    Arguably, though, Garrosh might be Thrall's only mistake. It's a bloody huge one, but yeah, to quote a very famous dwarf: 'that still only counts as one'.

    Feng, Spirit Kings and Will in MSV is wrongfully listed as Mogu.. They are undead..
    Saurfang in ICC is listed only as Orc, but Undead/Deathknight (like e.g. Razuvious) is more correct..
    Mimiron is mechanical, not Gnome..
    Megaera is beast, not Celestial.

    Also, IMO all the Bird/Bug/Spider bosses should just be classified as Beast, as the primary tag..

    Trolls perhaps the only "true" natives of Azeroth. More Troll raids for more pre titan lore. Sounds good.

    Fair enough Thrall has made two mistakes in his life, appoint Garrosh to lead the Horde and bought a pencil with an eraser.

    All the trolls that are found in raid instances are either Zandalari/Gurubashi/Amani/Farakki/Drakkari, all of which are now under the Zandalari banner. The 1st section of ToT is called "The Last Stand of the Zandalari".

    The Zandalari troll empire is a sub plot in the game, once that story is over there isn't likely to be any large amount of trolls in raid instances any more.

    I believe Zandalar Isle was destroyed in the Cataclysm which is why it hasn't been mentioned in game yet, although we haven't seen the leader of the Zandalar tribe (and therefore leader of all Trolls but the Darkspear) yet either: King Rastakhan, its unclear whether he died in the Cataclysm or if he is still alive.

    It's great seeing a story line being ignored in favour of the much more obvious (sarcasm) reason for the Trolls many appearances which is of course, Blizzard just likes them better than your race.

    When you stop feeding the trolls, you get fewer troll bosses.

    Well if that is the case you can just knock all the undead off the list.
