    What if Garrosh is NOT the final boss

    With everything we see Garrosh's horde do day in, and day out we understand he will be the final boss of the expansion. Now how would these things be viewed if we were not told he was the final boss? Why would Blizzard "spoil" their own expansion? Was it to keep Horde players who didn't agree with the Warchief with the Horde, since they would take their revenge?

    There are many questions to be asked, but I was curious if Garrosh was NOT going to be the final boss for Mists of Pandaria, would this affect how you viewed him?

    Edit: For me, I would not view him as the villain he will soon be, and I guess I would be more interested in how Blizzard is writing the new Horde. This could potentially be why they said he would be the end boss?

    Your thread title is misleading. you make it appear like your posting some news about whats going to happen in siege, but instead its just your 'what if' opinion.

    Change the title to 'what if garrosh is not the final boss"

    This is more than misleading. You're flat out saying "Garrosh is NOT the final boss".

    You say this as if this is an excuse to post misleading thread titles. Please edit your topic title. Thanks.

    Its not spoiling anything, we always knew, in each expansion, who was going to be the final boss.

    It will be him, everything points to that, including the devs saying it.

    all you need to do is edit the title of the thread.

    Edit: doh, you beat me Darsithis

    Anyway, lets throw something into the mix here.

    Lets have Garrosh as the official final boss in the regular raid. however, what they could do in the heroic version is either have an added final boss, or an additional phase to the fight revealing something else sinister, such as whatever Garrosh was doing, something comes from it.

    However, I think given the reaction to how they played bastion of twilight and Sinestra, people felt they were missing out on normal mode, so they stopped doing that, and approached it more like the ragnaros fight with his added final phase.

    I can't imagine he wouldn't be the last boss. Who would come after Garrosh?

    I still wouldn't view him any differently. At all. He bombed Theramore, the asshole.

    The general idea with Garrosh not being the final boss is that there is some kind of force corrupting him (I've heard: Sha, Demon, Dragon, Old God). In which case he would be the second to last boss.

    If it's saying he wouldn't be a boss at all? I don't think as many people would be calling him a monster or "war criminal". He'd still be a major douchebag, but I don't think there would be as much vitriol because he isn't a villain then

    "Garrosh will be the final boss of MoP"

    Only the WoW community could misconstrue that.

    The title is still misleading. I'm pretty sure the OP is asking "What if we didn't know Garrosh was the final boss?"

    Without knowing that Garrosh will be turned on by everyone. There would be much more credence to the claim that Garrosh's views are shared by the people of the Horde. At least until 5.1 came out. The spoiler prevents the backlash Blizzard could have faced for turning the Horde into the "bad guys" when the 2 WoW factions aren't supposed to be so definitive.

    Just read in some other threat that Malkorok the grey-skinned orc is most likely hiding something.
    And some guy on the WoW forums believes he could be Kil'Jaiden or some other demon, attempting to corrupt the orcs like in the past.

    If so, then I reckon after Garrosh, you would face the demon, and then it would lead on into the Burning Legion 2 expansion

    We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.

    Garrosh will be the final boss... Personally, my money is on some Garrosh/Sha hybrid, having the orc try to do what his father could never accomplish, and bring the orcs together under one powerful rule. In forsaking Grom's sacrifice, the entire world will unite against him...

    What I'm **REALLY** hoping for is that the only way to defeat the Sha of Angst/Garrosh combo is for someone to perform a truly selfless act to counter the emotion... and Wrynn sacrifices himself to weaken Garrosh enough for the players to finish him. Kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of Garrosh (either killed in combat [not likely] or simply de-powered and left to be dealt with by the Horde), and get rid of Wrynn, while giving him a noble send-off, paving the road for Anduin and Baine to lead their two factions to a lasting peace, and restoring balance to Pandaria.

    I still think Malkorak is not KJ, he needs to be summon in to the world & we stopped him at the SunWell. Its prbly a Dreadlord or Kazzak for all we know.

    oh yes because Jaina's really gonna be on board with that. You do know that by now, Varian is the one who would be far more open to peace when she would.

    The devs said there won't be any form of possession involved.
