Well... Goblins are good with money, so...
I don't think it's just Alliance tbf. Goblins' home in Orgrimmar were dirty slums.
They always told me I would miss my family... but I never miss from close range.
I think the Alliance would/could peacefully co-exist with the neutral goblin factions well enough. They don't really have any reason to attack them considering their mercenary nature and the amount of gold business with them brings in.
B-But they attacked the Bilgewater goblins without provocation!
Not because they were goblins, but because the Alliance were pulling a Sylvanas. They were being naughty and capturing Thrall, and as the captain said when he gave the order, "Dirty goddamn greenskins, send 'em to hell! I HATE goblins!" ahem, "No witnesses."
They were just cleaning up. Ironically they probably would have gotten away with it if they'd just ignored the goblins entirely.
The old story... this guy who rule is not a nice person, so the entire nation is the same. Society is ruled by logic of averge people , even in WoW.
Actually, in a way, she does. Sylvanas absolutely wants peace and security for the Horde. It is pretty much her number 1 priority. And the best way to secure that is to be sufficiently powerful that your enemies (here's looking at you Genn) are incapable of challenging you. I don't think any nation in history has ever achieved peace and security by being weak and submissive. You achieve peace by being strong and demanding it, not by being weak and begging for it.
Let's be honest, ever since the Siege of Orgrimmar, the Alliance have been the dominant power on Azeroth, believing that they have a divine moral authority to regulate the Horde, who are actually an independant, sovereign nation.
I mean, I totally get it, why it is that the alliance believe that they need to suppress and control the Horde. It's out of fear and mistrust based on what has happened in the past. The irony of course is that is exactly the behaviour that motivates the Horde to resent the Alliance in the first place. This is how war happens.
I think that Sylvanas has a good point. The best way to ensure peace is to separate the two factions with an ocean so that they can each leave each other to their own devices. I seriously doubt that the events in BfA are going to pan out according to either faction's plans though
No, that doesn't follow. You're grossly distorting what I am saying and what my "notion of peace" is.
I said, quite specifically, that "You achieve peace by being strong and demanding it". I did not say you have to wipe anyone out. It's about using your strength to deter others from attacking you, not about using your strength to be an aggressor. What I am saying is that it is Sylvanas' intention to do the former, but what likely happens is that the alliance reaction to this escalates things and it leads to the latter.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all.
Aren't they notorious backstabbers that also aided the original Horde invasion into Azeroth?
Everyone hates Goblins, the other Horde races included. Doesn't mean they can't still be useful.
The sad thing is the Goblins are loosely based on Jewish stereotypes too and everyone wants to kill them.
The average Goblin produces a litter of 500 pups and can give birth 30 times a year. There just isn't enough food, Kaja'mite, and profits for everyone. By killing the dumb goblins that would side with Gallywix and the Horde (after being enslaved by him), the Alliance are helping ensure enough resources for the most intelligent goblins (those who stay neutral) as well as the second most intelligent goblins (those who join the Alliance).
Plus when profits are low Goblin males can lay a clutch of eggs containing super fertile females in order to have more workers.
I do not see an issue about it. Do people genuinely believe that the Horde must hate the Alliance races always and that is damn right and fine, but the opposite is an unspeakable crime on Azeroth? Not that it would surprise me, based on the general mmo c vibe.
I am quite surprised that the Bilgewater Cartel was not kicked out of Zuldazar after they tainted and desecrated a sacred Zandalari burial ground. In the real world, if a company started mining in an ancient and sacred cemetery, they would suffer severe consequences. Typical Goblin plot armor.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
Except the Alliance relies heavily on a handful of Goblin agents working for SI:7. SI:7s incompetence is piss poor writing and not the fault one way or another of these goblin agents. So, no, they really don't.
Smallest violin for teh dindu horde.Even in Cataclysm the alliance bombarded a goblin ship with goblin prisoners, they left the goblins to drown in their cells like rats.
Fuck you, Give me Money- Bli$$ard
