Did MoP-Haters ruin WoW Storytelling?

Kung fu panda was terrible. May it rest in piss.

Just' thought I'd mention that their are more Pandaren players then Gnomes, Goblins, and Worgen, for both the EU and US.

Yeah I barely see gnomes, but I almost always see a female pandaren while questing and a male pandaren in PvP. It's largely humans, night elves, pandaren, worgen and draenei.

Pretty much half the bad things in WoD can be traced to Blizzard caving in to whiners early in MoP.

Also anyone who thinks freaking TBC did Lore better than MoP is absolutely delusional, TBC was directionless to a ridiculous extent, and Illidan and Vashj essentially do absolutely nothing. I still have no idea why we were even fighting Illidan when it was clear that Kael'thas (who got character derailed worse than Garrosh) and the Legion were the real villains and threat.

And I really can't see how space ships are more "Warcraft" than Asian inspired stuff.

What was so bad about the movie, it was fun.

Yes I thing that everyone who disagrees with me has ruined the game for everyone else because I have de absolute truth.

No, I'm just saying that too many people took it too far.

there's something about fighting a giant rabbit, or a giant carrot blocking the path that does not sit well with me. Maybe it's just me, glad to see a lot of people enjoyed MoP¨, just not me. i have more old fashioned taste, like demons or dragons of sorts.

You guys seem to forget that all the way back when BC was announced, there was massive disappointment and outcry when pandaren weren't announced as the new (alliance?) race.

Shut the fuck up instead of spouting shit like this.

Dream on, people were raving happy that were were going to Draenor and seeing Illidan again. Draenei and Blood Elves were loved by many, aside from the whole spaceship bullshit.

Massive outcry? Lol, god, how I wish the old forums were still up so I could sqush this bullshit once and for all. The numbers don't lie buddy, pandaren and monks are the lowest class/race played in the game, if the outcry was so massive they would be played way up there.

Ya know I really like that the number one reason to all the people who still hate Mop is: "I don't like asians." I mean is that still a thing in the current globalized international world? Okay.
Well I figured I might come back to wow if this new expansion really delivers, but I changed my mind. I don't want to be in the same community as you people. (And those other people who are so lacking in imagination that they chose to play as human instead of all the other 12 races that are available IRL).
Just make sure you never eat cucumber (originated in India), ketchup (started its career as a chinese fish sauce), or instant noodles, never drink tea, don't own anything made by samsung or sony and despite it being the most sucessful car manufacturer, avoid buying a toyota.

Pandaria isn't Asia, it's China. This is Asia:



You talk about Toyota, but there's nothing Japanese about Pandaren (even though Chen was originally Japanese inspired, with artwork depicting him with Samurai swords), specifically because China and Japan hate each other's guts, and who has the more population and potential subscribers? You guessed it.

Are you kidding? Either I literally see every pandaren player or there just a lot of pandarens. Again, maybe for Horde, but they're everywhere in the Alliance, especially female pandaren.

This. Also, the whole thing just didn't fit into the Warcraft lore, imo. Not that the pandaren don't fit in as a culture themselfes, I'm ok with that; Just the whole Hidden in the mists - thing didn't work out for me. It would have worked as background for a single starting zone, but not as the base of a whole expansion.

The theme of WoD is not what made it awful.

The theme of MoP is not what made it great.

Or you could actually do a 2 second google search instead of relying on anecdotal evidence. Here you go, though: http://warcraftrealms.com/census.php

Well you could've fooled me, hell I've seen a total of like 20 gnomes in-game and at least like 50 of so pandaren. Maybe they're just common in Dawnbringer and Moon Guard, because next to humans, worgen, night elves and draenei, they are the most common race, either that or dwarves and gnomes are wildly unpopular within those servers.

One thing I keep seeing since Pandaria launched is that everyone has this construct in their heads about how pandas are silly and can't be serious. It's not even like Blizzard ever presents the Pandaren race as silly or anything like that. It's just people who can't see antrophomorphic pandas and think seriously about them, even if the story or the lore tells them otherwise. In fact, they get even more pissed if the story gets any serious. Lol that's some serious prejudice right there.

All I see there is that Pandaren are roughly as popular as Trolls and Dwarves, more popular than Gnomes and Goblins and only very slightly bellow Undead and Tauren. Not particularly bad at all.

I know right, one thing I never got about some of these people is that they take this not liking pandaren thing way to fucking serious. I mean like wtf, did a giant panda from the zoo kill your mother or something. I can sort of understand people who actually have tried it through and through, but people who didn't like it because of it's "Asian theme" seem like they're bullshitting big time. I mean everyone's okay with night elves. It has to be something different.

5%, you can't just count Alliance Pandaren.

They are roughly as popular as Trolls, Dwarves, Undead, Worgen and Tauren. And more popular than Gnomes or Goblins.
