    that the warsong clan now gets finished, basicly, isn't a good thing by any means. Also garrosh turned 180 degrees for mop, while he was quite a good leader in cata. I am disgusted.

    Trassk this has been argued many, many, many times. Are you absolutely incapable of understanding that it is his "bad guy" qualities that attract us to him?

    Warcraft is, above all else, a story. Stories with only holier-than-thou-goodie-two-shoe characters are boring as hell. It's characters like Garrosh that give depth and moral ambiguity to the game. Do I like the decisions he has made as a member of the horde? No, but I'm not a member of the horde, I'm a guy sitting behind a computer screen. I'm the audience, and this audience member likes the story.

    Garrosh was cool...until Blizz turned him into a hollow and typical orc and pretty much killed him off as quickly as they added him into lore.

    Does he really have depth and moral ambiguity though? What redeeming values has Garrosh had since the start of Mists of Pandaria?

    He's made out purely as a villain, without the Horde's best interest at heart.

We can't make judgments on evidence we don't have, and this is the part Vol'Jin thought cast him in the best light... what does that say.
    Oh please, I could say the same of people that loved Garrosh too much for what he wasn't and desperatily try to twist things, especially about that dialogue, and you are one of the deluded if you think that the whole conversation mark Vol'jin as 100% wrong. Seriously, how can you even try to argue that? How can be justified Garrosh for having declared that all the trolls in Orgrimmar had to be sent into the slums? If he had personal matters with Vol'jin, were just with him. So much people pissing about the "arrow in the black heart" when Garrosh has been the first to throw a deadly threat ("You are lucky that I don't gut you right here, whelp") but people seems to justify it because, you know, is the Warchief, he can do that. Sure.

    Sorry but there is reason for belive that Garrosh didn't have any kind of serious justification for acting like an arrogant douchebag, he said "don't talk back to me", seriously, is excatly like an adult treat an "unrespectful" child, and we had more than one evidence that Garrosh's concept of "unrespect" is whismical and pompous, plus he added the title "troll" that was unecessary and just showed his biased, further showed by his illogical decision of kick all the trolls into the slums of Orgrimmar "because". How can you argue that Vol'jin was belligerent all the time if what has been undeniably showed to us is Garrosh's behavior, blatantly full of himself and the first to be showed undeniably unrespectful and arrogant, that triggered Vol'jin's reaction, and YOU have no ground to prove otherwise.

    But, most importantly, we already knew by Heart of War how Garrosh was easy to prejudice based on ignorance, and how he was the first to mock and be unrespectful without provocation, attacking Vol'jin in the Elemental Unrest meeting excatly for the arguments he elaborated in his head in the short-story. Sorry, but here is you the one that is inventing narrative, not me. We don't need to see anything else for understand who between two guys that made mistakes, who made the worst, with the worst basis and mentality.

    Since, by the way, you complained how about Garrosh began to "change" by your ideal concept of him in Wolfheart, you should keep in mind that the events in Wolfheart happened BEFORE those in Cataclysm, which is the expansion that, for unknown reasons, Garrosh is the best of the best. Just think about it.

    Not only that also some people forget that the fact Vol'jin got enraged and threat Garrosh it was because Garrosh mocked and disrespect him in orgimmar front of Thrall when he was picking Garrosh as the new warchief.

    I remember a time when we were all united in our hatred of Garrosh. Now I'm starting to wonder if the playerbase just hates change of any kind.

    Dunno why that's a bad comparison seeing as Warcraft is traditional fantasy and therefore owes an awful lot to Tolkien (the existence of its entire genre, plus most of the key concepts of its universe).

    But it's absurd to compare the writing in a book to the writing in a video game. Drastically different mediums.

    He doesn't really have moral ambiguity. Sylvanas is a good example of that. Garrosh is just an aggressive jerk who doesn't think ahead. Or behind. Or at all.

    I dare say some of you may still anyway, and some might even say you like the idea of a character that fucks up other characrters stories, that you like this kind of character for whatever your reason.
    Like...Thrall?
    I went there.
