Second - stroywise, Thrall is one of those who have been harmed the least by Garrosh. Others have a far greater claim.
Between the player factions, the Horde SHOULD be the one to get Garrosh. But by allowing the Allaince to access the same storyline, and using Thrall, I find the questline once again hugely unsatisfying for the Alliance. Thrall isn't helping us...he's kill stealing. The quest is far more satisfying on the Horde...because I and many others see Thrall as Horde. There is still a KS and DEM element, but the idea one of my own is helping me is much stronger. And the story ***MUCH*** more satisfying as a result.
Ideally - this is a storyline that SHOULDN'T be available to the Alliance.....as written. If the Alliance do have to be written into it for some reason, then someone else other than Thrall would need to kill him off. Someone not a Horde or Alliance member. But this is not a story the Alliance needed, especially given its unsatisfying ending. It's a Horde story and should be treated as such.
