I'm not sure that was the case I was given. "I'm not sure they really need the help" is what I was told by Lor'themar. Either way, it doesn't matter, as they're still a markedly competent military force that acts as a foil for the expected Pandaren motif. What exactly is being proved here, anyway? You could argue the Argent Crusade needed help from them too, but that doesn't make it a fact. However, that wasn't quite the point I was making.
