Is a satisfying end to Warlords of Draenor even possible?

Pull out AU Arthas, all the WotLK fanboys resub. Blizzard drowns in $$. Happy ending.



More seriously: pull out the WC2 ending, we close the portal minus getting trapped part. Kill Thrall in the process.

WoD has created a major issue for having a satisfying ending to anything in WoW. By implication of the many-world approach to time travel and allowing for multiple versions of major villains to exist, all future victories for our characters are reduced in importance because it has now been established that a non-player character can make a link to another variant of the timeline and bring said villain "back". Blizzard could have avoided this by going with the original AU Draenor as a bubble brought into the MU reality but by allowing summoning of villains, particularly Archimonde, that have been defeated in the MU reality via AU a whole can of very ugly worms has been opened for consistency of lore. Previous retcons were bad and the object plucking of End Time wasn't well thought out but WoD has been massively damaging for future lore progression.



I think this is the case. If the original plan was to defeat the Warlords so soon, why bother with such flashy introductions for them? Why focus the story on an ineffectual villain instead of the Legion?

Its called a red haring. People assumed what they said with gromash being end boss in Q&A was 100% true and set their own expectations to that. People were not shocked how Mists ended so blizzard wanted to change that.

IMO the only thing that made this expansion bad was the huge amount of people who got really hyped to see old bad guys bad and then those same people saying this is boring cause nothing new.

The expansion is great.. the playerbase sucks

Pretty sure if WoD is this negatively viewed then its not the player-base.

Nah it's totally our fault. Blizzard could take a shit on your chest and if you didn't love it, then you suck
