Answer me this then, genius - after she's gone, what exactly do you think it's going to change? Do you think the Alliance are just gonna forgive and forget the Horde? Tyrande has already said that she regrets not killing Saurfang, which means even with Sylvanas gone it changes nothing. There will still be Alliance faction leaders who will want retribution for the Horde's destruction of Teldrassil, which means your raging boner for SoO 2.0 will be absolutely pointless. You really think Blizzard haven't already considered that?
I never once brought up anything about the ally forgiving horde, that I don't care about, genius. What I care about is removing Sylvanas from the horde. That's all. She sucks as a character period. You think she cares about you? Lol. I bet you'd be upset if she sacrificed your account, not your character, but your account that you spent hours and 1000's of dollars on to create and build up, just to lose it to her ideals that you believe in. Yeah I didn't think so. Oh wait even better, she can resurrect your dead account to a level 1 fresh start afterwards. Happy Grinding. LOLOLOL.

and a weird frankenstein dragon zombie rips a portal in space time to find a safe haven where she flees to establish a foothold. She finds anotehr Kalimdor, untouched by horde or alliance. This untouched Kalimdor where she finds herself is just the tip of the iceberg. We follow and find ourselves stuck in the middle of... the original orcish invasion and the political mess that was the seven kingdoms.
Thus we witness World of Warcraft: Wrath of the High King expansion

Not true. The "New Horde" was "founded" in Southern Lordaeron by Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer, Thrall, Grom Hellscream and Drek'thar. It has direct continuity with the Old Horde.
Fighting alongside Thrall at Hyjal has nothing to do with the Horde's refounding which took place while Jaina was still cooped up in Dalaran.The Horde exists because of Jaina.
And that served to hamstring his reign. Which is something I'll address later.Thrall was raised by humans.
Fighting against the Burning Legion together really isn't comparable to collaborating with the enemy in a time of war. Especially when it boils down to having a disagreement with the Warchief's ideology in a faction where there's an existing institution to get rid of bad Warchiefs that don't require said collaboration.And the Horde and the Alliance have worked together COUNTLESS times by now.
If you're referring to Thrall (Because I doubt you're a fan of either Doomhammer or Blackhand), he wasn't one of the best Warchiefs. His own poor decision making skills put the Horde in an unsustainable position.The best Warchiefs aren't blinded by faction hatred, but do what is right regardless.
The Orcs, in particular, were left starving in a largely barren land, economically reliant upon a hostile foreign power that had severed trade for no good reason. This isn't mentioned once, it's brought up in "Heart of War," "The Shattering," and "Glory."
And why did he settle the Orcs in such an inhospitable region? In part because he felt the Orcs (many of which, by that point, weren't old enough to participate in the first two wars) owed penance. Secondly, he was the world's biggest appeaser and didn't want to make waves.
That's not something a good Warchief does, much less one of the best.
There's a passage from "The Shattering" which lends credibility to Gorgonna's assessment being accurate:
--"The Shattering," p56"When I rebuilt the Horde, I might indeed have taken a more fertile land. But I did not."
...
"I did not, because we had wronged this world. And yet, we were here in it, we had a right to live. To find a homeland. I chose a place that we could make our own -- a land that asked of us all we could give. Living here has done much to cleanse us of the curse that so damaged us as a people..."
A pity he was already fully invested in Durotar by the time he caught a glimpse of what Draenor actually was.Thrall settled in Durotar because he thought it looked like Draenor
He's mentioned that, too. Which makes the decision all the more stupid. It didn't turn out to be a "hard land for hard people." It turned out to be a near-inhospitable land for an increasingly angry and desperate people.that it was the perfect kind of hard land for a hard people.
I'm not sure why Blizzard retconned the zone to be near-inhospitable, since the Orcs were doing quite well there before. Had a decent forest out back, were producing decent crop yields, and so on.
Durotar just went to shit after awhile due to Cataclysm induced climate change and deforestation. And Blizzard forgetting that there were supposed to be trees there.
It's dumb, but that's the Durotar we're working with.
I don't think we can blame all, or even most of it on the effects of the Cataclysm, considering:Durotar just went to shit after awhile due to Cataclysm induced climate change and deforestation. And Blizzard forgetting that there were supposed to be trees there.
--"Glory"Starving to death in nearly barren lands, surrounded by plenty. It was the internment camps all over again.
We've all been through "Heart of War" quotes a million times, so I won't bother linking Krenna's quotes there. The Cataclysm made things worse, but the Orcs were already in a horrible position before that. With regard to the WCIII-era forests, I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not Blizzard considers that to be retconned at this point or not.
Regardless, if they did exist at any point, they would've sated some of the Horde's need for lumber, but food still has to be accounted for. Durotar has been shown pretty consistently to be atrocious on that front.
Thrall concedes that he settled in Durotar, because it was a "hard land," which prompts the following thought from Cairne:
--"The Shattering," p56Cairne looked at him with narrowed eyes, no doubt wondering why Thrall was choosing to remind his people that Durotar was a difficult land at best.
Considering those statements and the overwhelming majority post-WoW reference to Durotar are all fairly consistent, I think we can safely chalk this up to being a monumentally stupid decision on Thrall's part.
