Why Would any Draenei care for immortality? (Spoiler)

[Kaganfindel]

because dying sucks?

How do you know? You've never even tried it.

what the hell have the draenei been doing in their spaceship if they're still level one when they crash

trying to come up with an original cool sounding name..... takes me about 25000 years to do that normally

how do you know he hasn't?

But yea, it's true the player Draenei isn't supposed to be that old. Still, seems Blizzard bullshitness to always try to define players characters before players can make them,

So you're saying I can't be a demon hunter dragon aspect half-elf love child of Illidan and Varian?

Obviously playing Space Invaders (SC2 Joke).

Seriously, has someone have already said, lorewise, levels don't exist.

+1 internets to you for slamming a terrible name.

Almost as bad as Rangari.

1 - the draenei are not immortal, just a few handful of draenei like velen

2 - there's dialog on azuremist isle that states that the draenei left argus 10 lifetimes ago, which means the average Jooe (lol) only lives for around 2500 years.

than why does that guy who isn't velen but still remembers argus is still alive?

answer: bad storytelling and inconsistencies.

Just because a single npc says they left Argus 10 lifetimes ago doesn't necessarily mean they were being literal about it. Just like when someone says they have been waiting in line forever, or when they feel old they say they feel 150 or something.

If a fly that lives for six days looked at a human who wanted to be immortal, the fly would probably say "gee, you can live for 90+ years! Isn't that close enough to being immortal?"

That being said, I do agree with the notion that Blizzard tosses huge expanses of years around way too frivolously. I mean, 10,000 years ago for the well of eternity exploding... ten-friggin-thousand. That would have been 8,000 BC by our reckoning... Humans were barely beginning to make structures with four walls by that time, and our history of that era is what we dig out of the ground. And not only that, but more than a fair handful of people who witnessed that event, or were alive at the time, are STILL alive.
