Just hope the bosses get more smarter from here on, I always welcome this kind of things or the boss one shoting the raid, Arthas and Argus are the best example and if they were more sentient, probably they will be the humility test we got every while to not get arrogant, man I really wish Arthas were still alive and to have him in the role of Yujiro from Baki, maybe Illidan could fill those shoes
Given how it was the entire point and, because it completely flew above your head, in your previous post you accused my reply being factually incorrect (even though you completely misread it, making your accusations in said reply the actually incorrect thing there), you're utterly deflecting here.
Or do I need to quote your posts again to show you that in your last reply you made a point on circling that Alex Afrasiabi was Lead World Designer, because you thought I contested that? Because, lo and behold, you thought that's what I referred to by talking about what you bolded? Which means it wasn't a "side tangent" whatsoever, but the entire point? Which means you're outright lying right now to save face? Which doesn't work at all, because of how obvious and desperate the lie is?
But yes, I'm the one bad at arguing here. Not you, who completely missed the point in your previous reply, made an invalid reply to it because of you missing the point and who's now engaging in desperate fallacies to hide that fact If I am bad by even MMO-C standards, your posting is bad even by r/TheDonald's standards (and such a thing doesn't really exist).
Which you then instantly proved by making a spectacle of publicly ignoring me as if it somehow vindicated you. Because you had no real counterargument to the fact you completely misread my previous post, making your reply to it utterly invalid. But guess what, this public spectacle doesn't vindicate you one iota, especially in the context of you patently misreading that post and now desperately trying to deflect from that. It's more of an admission of defeat on your part. So cheers.
On a side note, your "source" still doesn't prove that Lead World Designer in WoW does what you said they do (you know, what I actually contested), nor have you addressed what Lead Narrative Designer does if your claims about Lead World Designers were actually true. Because, as with everything else, you don't really have an argument. You only have vitriol and desperate fallacies.
I can't feel bad for laughing about it, when Rhonin died. All Knaak characters are poison for this game and the og self inserts. Hope they kill Vereesa next.
In all fairness, Nathanos is the new Thrall in terms of being an annoying, scene-stealing writer insert who does nothing but irritate the fuck out of everyone in his vicinity. Only instead of South Beach Buddhism: Warcraft Style, he's Smug Neckbeard Goth Kid: Warcraft Style. I keep waiting to see him show up monologuing about how "he is euphoric, not through the blessings of any phony Light, but because he is enlightened by his own intellect."

Odds are good Vereesa's days are numbered. The dev team seems poised to have the high elves all sign on with the void elves (there are High Elf Wayfarers and Silvermoon Scholars aplenty, Umbric and Alleria have stepped in as the Alliance Thalassian elf leadership with Vereesa generally relegated to the background, and the Three Sisters foreshadows a confrontation between Alleria and Vereesa against Sylvanas, and the devs mentioned high elf skintones for void elves might be a thing in the future (my suspicion there is it'll be unlocked after a Night Warrioresque quest line, showing a difference between the first-wave void elves who were corrupted in the unlock scenario versus the second-wave void elves who don't have a Void entity interfering in the ritual to worry about)). My bet is she and Alleria take the fight to Sylvanas, Vereesa gets merked, and the surviving high elves go Void to get revenge.

You haven't read my post history, have you? I'm generally in favor of putting the nail in the high elf coffin (my post even says 'all the high elves are probably going to be void elves,' which would close the door on that chapter of elven history forever), but let's not let facts get in the way of you being triggered because I mentioned the art team seemed amenable to giving void elves some peach skin tones as a possible compromise, and how that would work lorewise, and how it would accomplish three wonderful things (Windrunners finally get a showdown that isn't just Sylvanas waxing poetic, Vereesa dies, and high elves are done with for good) all in one stroke.

Nathanos is a lot less omnipresent than Thrall and he doesn't have his insufferably ideal record either. He's smug, but relative to how much he gets to do, Thrall and Rhonin were far more severe and a lot more directly connected to a certain writer. Whatever Danuser thinks of Nathanos, he doesn't have the narrative clout of Knaak or Metzen to do much damage.

I mean, he's the Senior Narrative Designer, aka the writers answer to him. I agree with you that he isn't as omnipresent as Thrall and that he doesn't have an insufferably ideal record either, but consider that Danuser comes on, starts voicing Nathanos, writes him a story that canonizes him and Sylv banging in a barn and having a romantic relationship, Nathanos getting a sick new body and model before a litany of other important NPC's get their models updated or personalized (Saurfang, Baine, Lor'themar, etc...), suddenly becomes one of the few people we ever interact with anymore, is suddenly thrust into important roles in the Horde, is somehow leading the charge in Darkshore at the same time he's leading a counter-attack at Dazar'alor AND coordinating our incursions in Kul Tiras, and that's just what we have from 7.0 to 8.1. He's not Thrall level yet, but you cannot deny that since Danuser took over the role, Nathanos has suddenly become this important character out of nowhere.
Face it, Siege should have been handled by Rokhan or Baine (preferably Rokhan), Darkshore handled by some other Forsaken character (Faranell works well here), and give Nathanos the War Campaign since that at least fits into his current self-insert role as Sylvannas' right-hand man. Instead, he's three places at once getting to be the Horde hero there.
He wasn't always a self-insert, but he's become one.
Danuser doesn't voice him, he's suffered no changes in personality from his vanilla incarnation. He had a human recolor until BFA, and obviously the number 2 guy to the Warchief will be appearing a lot, especially considering the Horde has one of the most barren casts in its history. He has a record without a win in a fight and appears only for one faction. On top of this, Danuser lacks a veto power over the writers, if he did, I really doubt Horde would get a narrative about every character save for Nathanos bitching endlessly and ultimately overthrowing Sylvanas. The reaction to him is massively overblown asspain.
Siege should've been Rokhan though, I'll give you that.

I don't think that's new or exceptionally concerning. Khadgar became an important character out of nowhere in WOD, to the point I went "wait, is this OUR khadgar or AU khadgar? Who the hell is this guy?" when he was just plopped in and went "HEROES, WE MUST DEFEAT THE IRON HORDE." Then he was everywhere for 2 expansions.
That's called "these are going to be our main characters for a while, let's give them all fancy new models and storytelling focus."

Let's be honest, Turalyon was straight up buried when they wrote him to be no-sold, one-handed, by Illidan while Illidan looked half-unconscious. He's nobody's gary stu character anymore, no matter who might have spent years longing for him to come back and be that.
