Why some people are so obsessed with faction NPC death equality?

[Mamut]

Only me think the recent "death equality" (if some major character dies from alliance or horde then there most be also major character death from opposite faction) hurt the lore and plot alot? Why people are obsessed with this strange "death justice"? Sometimes I just facepalm where I see posts like "Omg, we lost 3 major characters, the opposite faction only 2 or even 1 because the second wasnt important anyway, plax fix this Blizz kill moar!".

Why is this so important for some people? Would not be better for the story to leave this bullshit and just evolve how the devs really want?

You aren't getting the topic, mate. It isn't about 'death equlity'. It is about people comparing the factions to its wins and losses.

[Beastiel]

No idea. Kind of defeats the purpose of just crafting a compelling and believable story when everything has to be equal. It makes no sense. Of course one side often does and should lose more.

"X should lose a character they feel attached to because I lost a character I felt attached to" posts/responses make me feel embarassed to play this game.

Because the world of warcraft community has a sect that actively waits for a reason to be upset at anything they can. That includes any perceived idea of favoritism.

It's really just that simple, honestly. That's all there is to it.

Because Horde lost too much leaders, Cairne, Garrosh, Thrall and Vol'Jin, and Alliance lost only one/two. Thats unfair.

Just like alot Alliance fans want to see Thrall dead, some Illidan fans want to see Tyrande and Malfurion dead. And with Illidan its possible in theory. (but dont worry Blizzard doesnt cares about them and not going to evolve story about them nor kill them)

I know right? Taylor didnt have to die just because Nazgrim died.

Garrosh

I thought horde hated him, why do you even bring his name? His crimes had nothing to do with horde as i heard.

Was watching a Broken Shore play through a few days ago. At one point he compared the current community to having two young kids. Spot on

Actually Western civilization has a sect who actively wait to be upset at anything. They are called lefties, democrats, socialists, liberals etc...

Indeed. Varian being the more prominent of him and Vol'jin, I can see how his loss is felt more deeply than Vol'jins. Vol'jin also didn't have a story as engaging as Varians due to his kidnapping and subsequent gladitorial times.

with MOP WOW lore/storyline went huge downfall, WOTLK Lore was way more epic

in result WOW started losing subs and went from 12mills to 7mills

Because Blizzard are Horde fanboys, and it's tiring getting to witness that in game over and over and over.

And over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

War is not fair, war is not kind, war claims the innocent and guilty alike. No care for who is great and who is humble, nor who is liked and who is despised. There is no equality in war, just those who've died and seen it's end, and those who still wait in line. So do I care that my faction has lost heroes? Yes, that's the point of being invested in them. But that doesn't mean I want a cut and paste death list of like for like, that's not a decent way to convey war. Especially when all it does is dilute the tragedy the writers want to convey when they do kill a character, if there is a equal and opposite death cancelling out the deficits. Not that Warcraft has been a great story, but it does at least explain why I rather the be no talk of 'equality' over deaths in factions. It just doesn't make a good read.

Its not because of story, its because gameplay. Its really small amount of people who care about lore and i dont think anyone would unsubscribe just because of bad writing. If so, then it must be really only few individuals.

Blizzard yes, but for Activsion not sure. After Activision has bought Blizzard they started to make Horde bad guys, but during WOTLK/Vanilla Horde was good guys expect some Forsaken npcs.

The entirety of Cataclysm was Horde propaganda. Alliance losing on almost every front, even where it makes no sense. Leave Hillsbrad Foothills but attack a barren desert with full force? Not to mention the ending which is in my opinion still the worst of all to date.

Because some people think war is fair and balanced. Ironic really....

[Pull My Finger]

People are dumb and insecure, everywhere you go. That's why they personally identify with the most stupid of shit - countries, nationalities, religions, sports teams, music bands, cellphone and fashion brands, WoW factions, etc.

Yeah sorry that's not really correct.

[Jewsco]

Because they keep dancing in the line. It be fine if more alliance were dying to fight the good fight versus the big baddie. But any time they start to make the horde look bad the instantly change them back to good guys.
Look at what they just did with sylvannas in the opening scenario. With all the shit she has done and how she always at best seemed was allied with the horde for convience now says the horde and wants to fight for revenge for the horde? Really??
