    My guess is those Sunreavers, who betrayed the Kirin Tor were among those who were sentenced to death by Garithos in Dalaran and all they want is the Kirin tor to suffer, that is the most logical conclusion.

    Possible but we don't know that. Ah the good old cycle of hatred. I like cases like this Dalaran mess and the Camp Taurajo situation, good ways to stir the war up without using a flat out evil character or someone like Garithos.

    or maybe they just want their faction to win?

    I think he was talking about the new horde, and more recently garrosh's horde. Since with all the racists like Tryande and Varian; although he seems to have calmed down quite a bit now, more character development.

    Yeah right, blood elves actually interfering into a full scale world war, that brings them pretty much nothing, the only reason they helped was because they owed the horde, but that is down the drain now it seems.

    You don't honestly think that do you? Do you realize the number of blood elf players on the horde side that are part of guilds and have friends on that faction. You think blizzard would split the blood elves from the horde and break up friendships and guilds.

    See, that arn't going to happen, the blood elves are not going anywhere. And please listen to the audio, Lor'themar makes it clear he's done with the alliances bigotry, and yet its just Garrosh he hates, not the horde.

    It probably will end up one of those, if it matters to you that is, game breaking inconsistencies that we currently have akin to outland. The story that takes place currently always is completely inconsistent with previous versions. It's understandable though, it would be insanely difficult to have to redo the whole world for every expansion to make sure it flows smoothly.

    Its a hell of a lot better than losing a world war.
    Look at Japan and Germany as an example of the cost of losing.

    I've said this dozens of times on other threads.

    The reason why the game feels so inconsistent, its because the developers are trying to make an RTS story from an Mmorpg, All previous wc games were streamline RTS stories that made them consistent and straight forward. Wow is a world your meant to explore, but as a result it leaves massive holes that stop making sense after a time.

    on another note, i am very interested in the black temple scenario. It is kind of sweet to see old content pulled back into the game in a way that makes it relative to whats going on. Now I can only wonder what they intend to do with it. Wonder if we will get some clues or hints that Illidan isnt really dead =D

    I want that, i know it won't happen
    And hell no, the Blood elves are more likely sick of both factions by now anyway. My main point was Lor'Themar was actually doing something.

    There's a saying, "There's nothing more profitable than losing a war to the US." This is highly demonstrated in both Japan and Germany. After WWII, the US pumped money into them and built them into economic powerhouses. Whereas, say, Vietnam, who you might say beat the US, did not have money put into it for rebuilding, and is far below a lot of the other first world countries.

    Don't get me wrong, the wars were awful. Many lives were lost, and there is nothing that makes up for the atrocity of dropping nuclear bombs. I'm not saying it was a good thing for the countries. I was just point out that winning a war isn't always a lot more beneficial than losing a war.

    Oh I know what Germany lost during their world wars, but the blood elves were barely involved at all and it was still possible to solve this dilemma through diplomacy now that is pretty much impossible.

    Something to keep in mind when looking at characters, is that they don't have the same birds eye view we do. As a player, I can look at the blood elves and admit they've been wronged by the Alliance. I can look at the orcs and know that they aren't just mindless demon crazed monsters. But the characters don't get that benefit. They're actually down in azeroth, in the thick of things, with a limited perspective. Most humans weren't there at the climax of the third war fighting side by side with redeemed orcs. As a player I can understand Garrosh's motivations to provide a better future for his people even if I disagree with how he goes about it. I can understand why Jaina boots out the sunreavesr and cheer at the return of the Kirin Tor to the Alliance while admitting she overreacted. (Though on this issue I'm reserving final judgement until I can actually play it all through.) Just look at the real world. There's more to people on Earth than racism and bigotry, but despite whatever strides we may have made in the last century it's still very much a part of our world. A battle or war being fought over something dumb doesn't mean it's unrealistic, just look at our own history. I think it's actually interesting that both sides of this war feed eachother. The original horde drove the Alliance together. The Alliance's treatment of the orcs after they were bested eventually lead to Thrall's rebellion and the foundation of the new horde. Thrown in people intentionally stirring the pot like demons, Onyxia and the Twilight's Hammer and I don't think the ongoing war bad storytelling.

    there is a difference in loseing a war being ordered to pull out. The war in vietnam was not our war, we where there to aid south Vietnam but due to political differences, US troops where pulled out.

    The idea of the horde and the alliance having factions change sides sounds pretty unbelievable doesnt it...

    But how this as an alternative. Blizzards been opening up the game and evening the sides so much lately that what i do see as a possible alternative for maybe the next Expansion would be to completely remove the barriers that define horde and alliance. Lets say the burning legion invades...both sides are going to have to work together to survive. I can totally see blizzard making it a selling point of the expansion that guilds can now have members from ANY faction, and the language barrier gets removed. The implementation of scenarios and the brawler arenas seem to be taking the pvp to more formalized settings. If both Wyrm and Garrosh are killed during this expansions storyline, then the 'alliance' and the 'horde' titles could simply vanish into losely tied factions with individual reasons to either hate or not hate the other side.

    If it was a demon invasion, they might have bigger things to deal with then old hatreds, but the idea of unformalizing the war between horde and alliance and turn it into more of anyone against anyone could have some pretty interesting quest and lore repercussions.

    As it is, if it was up to Garrosh, he probably would prefer the orcs stand mostly without the rest of the horde, same with the blood elves.

    The only reason Germany didn't become an argrar nation was solely so the US would have a meatshield in Europe against the Soviets, not because of the kindness. But that is off topic.
