    there are many more reasons and motivations than just that
    Yes they were.

    Doesnt need to be any reasons, he still wants to fight the alliance which we have clearly seen in Mop, therefor hes dangerous to our society and that of alliance.

    Thrall created the horde a stable environment to live in, much like how they lived back on draenor before the demons. I bet most of them wants it back, being hunters and hunting stuff instead of warfare all the time.
    Some do like war, but its because they have been brainwashed into it by too much of it.

    Voj'Jin and the rest of the Horde should have dealt with Garrosh on their own instead of Conspiring together with the Alliance.
    people make up bs about this all the time. 'I think Garrosh was a better warchief then Thrall because Garrosh brought WARRRRRRR to the game', thats all you have to build upon. Nevermind that Thrall built the horde we have now, freed the orcs, had every race in the horde (save the pandaren) brought into it, and yet even then, you convince yourselves Garrosh was better.

    But I've learned you can't teach people the lessons this has taught, it goes over the heads so easily and they delude themselves with half truths and fabrications.

    Was Thrall a great warchief? yes, he was. Was he a perfect warchief? NOBODY IS PERFECT. But of all those who have been warchief, he has been the only one to do good for the horde without war lust, greed or corruption being what lead him.

    He was ruthless in Cataclysm -- killing innocent people wont make you honorable. WotLK on the other hand, shows him helping the Horde in various ways. He was headstrong then, but was on a personal journey for endless bloodlust.

If Horde players had a choice, would they pick the side of the Rebellion or the Warchief?
    They are wrong, even if I'm the minority. I would side with Garrosh in a heartbeat. Screw that lame ass Vol'jin, committing insubordination and all that.

    I'd rather fight WITH Garrosh and Siege Stormwind than to kill my own leader. What were they thinking?
    Either they should have made it a lot more obvious that Garrosh is evil, and actually explain why. But for now they horribly failed.

    Because people like this are so deluded about the whole story they fabricate everything.

    Some fact the Garrosh fans don't want to accept, even now are:

    - Garrosh didn't build the horde, and all he did was an extention of orcish rule, and he didn't give a shit about any other horde race
    - He cost more lives in his war, without any positive outcome.
    - His want for making orcs the dominate race on azeroth, has now caused every other race to despise orcs, who we are now set to fight.
    - Everything Garrosh tried to build is set to crumble, not just by the alliance, but the rest of the horde itself.

    I dont see how not liking Alliance is a bad thing.....they are the rivals and to some, out-right enemies, of the Horde

    But the other point, there is more to Garrosh then "im a warrior, so i like war, the end". Hes a major character.
    Garrosh does want his people to prosper, or prosper and reach heights than they are currently at.
    "I wont let my people starve in the desert. I will stop at nothing, nothing, to enusre a proud and glorious future for the Orcs, and anyone who has the courge to stand with us"
    "Our suffering is at an end, when this war is won our people will see prosperity at last"

    And another, which to me is his biggest motivation, is the lust for glory. Garrosh lives under the shadow of his father, a legacy he feels he needs to match or exceed.
    Which is ironic in a way, since Garrosh will definatly be remember, but perhaps not the reasons he is expecting.....

    Do you understand the irony of all this? Instead of making something from what they had, the orcs wanted to dominate everything, and now, they will be left with nothing.

    Thrall at least held balance, Garrosh simply wanted to take, until he pissed off everyone.

    I don't even think he's evil. I'm not rooting for him because he's evil, but because he actually does anything in his power to defeat the Alliance and make his people prosper. How is the manabomb so much more evil than the sacking of Taurajo for example? Do the methods really matter? How is a manabomb different from a spellcaster killing someone with a spell? It's just bigger in scale.

    I think Vol'jin deserved the assassination attempt, because he committed insubordination and continuously threatened his superior. He's a hypocrit that can't take it that Garrosh leads with different values than him. He has an issue with authority, period.

    Cairne? Yeah, that was his own fault.

    The rest of the rebellion? The Blood Elves? Goblins? Tauren? They just tag along for the ride because they're pussies. They don't even have a good reason to hate Garrosh. And Sylvanas is probably 10 times more evil than Garrosh, yet we let her go about her business.

    Why are you so sentimental about it all of the sudden? The game is storybased like any other game. Now apparently you don't like Garrosh being a bad guy, but it's the way it is. Garrosh is an NPC with a story which is now in the phase where his pride and honor does not stand with the rest of the Horde, so the rebellion is a logical effect.

    Also it's like you are saying they pulled this off all of the sudden in the last 2 days.......

    Yupe. Villains can only "likeable" when they have some "redeeming" quality, such as incredible charisma, a tragic past that turned them into the monsters that they are or have noble intentions but going about things in a misguided manner.

    Garrosh is an all out 1D asshole - typical of Blizzard's villains.

    Thats because there are so many players in wow's community who never bother to delve into the story itself, and who simply create token stereotypes of the characters in the game. They don't know how the story has progressed, or bothered to read into it how the character has slowly become this corrupted tyrant, they only see from a very limited perspective of character, and then when the character is actually revealed as a bad guy, its a shock to them 'Wuh, where did dat come fromz?'

    They did that, and nothing ever came of it, and it cost the lives of so many with nothing to show for it.

    I second this. He was already coming across as an incompetent prick in Cata.
