    oh now your just over exaggerating everything.

    Before cataclysm, there was no mention of orcs being in a bad way, and I remember because I paid attention to detail back then.
    It was only once cata came around and Garrosh was thrown into the mix, did they make up some BS about how the orcs were having problems with food.
    And yet, where is it mentioned ingame? Has it a massive deal that the orcs were dying out, or just something thrown in as something the anti-Thrall Warsong'esque orcs who wanted any excuse to accuse Thrall's leadership not being to there liking.

    Well, he is right though. Orcs and Tauren are the strongest races of the Horde. Do you honestly think Goblins are as strong as Orcs? You'd have to be crazy.

    This is about right. Pre MoP, i thought he was awesome, and id totally side with him. But this expac, theyve written it so that nothing he does makes sense. He's literally insane and on a war path.

    At this point, the idea is that he's to be hated, not even slightly liked.

    Orcs have been complaining about Durotar's living conditions since they got there. Then come the Shattering the situation became much much much worse.

    Hell the Horde supply problem is what prompted Thrall to step down in the first place

    how is it bullshit? Durotar is a rocky desert.

    You can say the exact same thing about Garrosh. Prior to Mists of Pandaria he might have been a hothead, but he had honor. Then suddenly MoP comes around and he becomes a villain. I can pull the same shit you're doing. Yes, Blizzard sometimes pulls things out of their arse to further their goals. And when they do, people get upset because it doesn't make sense.

    I can understand you being upset it worked in favor of Garrosh in Cataclysm, but why can't you understand Garrosh-supporters that it works against us now? No, you somehow think it was always destined this way and you are incredibly smart for seeing it coming from a mile away. If you dislike Garrosh' superiority complex then you might just want to look in a mirror.

    Dalaran was hardly 100% neutral.
    Jaina was openly hostile to the leadership of the Horde before even taking up the mantle.
    Plus she was using her powers to bolster Darnassus's defenses and investigated what happened, all before she even found about the Sunreavers

    Also, the leader of the Kirin Tor himself died in the mana bomb explosion, so there's that.

    Lastly, there's also the matter of Jaina having just lost her whole remaining "family", her city being left a hole in the ground, and herself being disfigured by the attack, so that's some restraint right there. If she played by rules Garrosh himself had set, she'd have every right to level Orgrimmar right there.
    Disregard neutrality.

    She allowed troop movements in her own city Theramore to strike horde targets, horde she was always on about being friends with. Her city gets attacked (the mana bomb was horrific but from a military POV it had to go you cant let your enemy have a strong position such as that on your own doorstep)

    Fast forward to dalaran, shes angry at the sunreavers for sneaking the bell out from Darnassus. She broke neutrality the moment she left it and helps the alliance. Neutrality doesn't come into it. She was right to keep it away from Garry though 100%

    I feel that with MoP they just altered Garrosh' personality and turned him evil just so they could have a famous face be the end boss. Nothing more and nothing less. Oh wait, and to give the Alliance their glorious moment they have been whining about since Cataclysm. Still, if they wanted everyone to hate Garrosh they should really try harder. And it should make sense.

    Illidan suddenly becoming the main villain didn't make sense either. And plenty of people want him to return because they still believe he was more morally grey than evil. I can see the same thing happening with Garrosh if Blizzard doesn't try harder. Lots of people still aren't convinced he's truly evil.

    Sorry, I don't have a superiority complex, I just hate douchebags like Garrosh, and dislike those that like such characters.

    I can't really complaing about putting the poor orc in Big Bad Guys skin anymore. I consider it lazy writing, ruining a once great character and so on, but let's leave that for a moment. Blizzard has pretty much stated "In Mists of Pandaria a figure EVERY player wants to kill and loot badly is Garrosh".
    He was talking about the CHARACTERS IN THE STORY, NOT THE PLAYERS....

    And you'd have to be incredibly naive and ignoring 90% of the lore to think that this hasn't been planned for years... or that Garrosh was a "great" character who's absolutely not a threat.

    This is exactly what im talking about.... Garrosh's personallity has never "changed" and he has never been made "evil". He's just an asshole from beginning to end, that is the whole point with Garrosh --a non-corrupted tyrant.

    You can't "disregard neutrality". Can't stock arms in Red Cross tents and pretend it's okay if busted because "it's tactically sound, lol".

    Theramore was an Alliance city, clearly marked, the whole difference was that Jaina was to be parleyed with.

    Yes, that made it open for an attack, but it's Garrosh who started the total war on Azeroth, using methods previously employed only by Archimonde. The thing is that if you're using such means, Jaina would've been well within her rights (and had the ability to do so) to nuke Orgrimmar right back.

    Bottom line: Garrosh has it coming. Tactically sound or not, by using such means to an end, he started something he cannot possibly finish.

    But the other point, there is more to Garrosh then "im a warrior, so i like war, the end". Hes a major character.
    Garrosh does want his people to prosper, or prosper and reach heights than they are currently at.
    "I wont let my people starve in the desert. I will stop at nothing, nothing, to enusre a proud and glorious future for the Orcs, and anyone who has the courge to stand with us"
    "Our suffering is at an end, when this war is won our people will see prosperity at last"
    Sounds some prison bloke straight from the ghetto, unable to do anything himself and insisting that "others are keeping riches from him". You're proud to work under such leader? Ow.

    And you can't understand that some people still like him. Others can't have a different opinion, you must prove them wrong.

    just because he is a villian now dsnt mean he always was
    You just have to read some novels or look at some of early Cata to see that

    the reason garroshes character development looks so out of place is because there was meant to be another expansion inbetween "douchebag who is kinda good" to "me want conquer world"

    people keep forgetting that metzen told us that garrosh wasnt supposed to turn evil until the next expansion but that they changed their minds when they decided to make mists.

    if anything be glad, this means we get a burning legion expansion instead of another expansion about garrosh

    Point is, no complaining apparent. In third mission they mention it's hot to just jog through the Barrens for days butt-naked, that's about it.

    Ah I see what the issue was. You never read my post correctly.

    I already said Garry was the person to blame for all of this. prior to cata I had no problem with Theramore. When cata happened and Theramore was used as a base of operations it was fair game in a total war scenario. I don't agree with this method but I do agree with the reasons why it was attacked. Your analogy made no sense btw what context were you referring to? It really was a bad one sorry.

    Nuking Orgrimmar back would have made her a monster and would have been worse than Theramore as the population is HUGE there. She would not have been within her rights she would have been out of her mind. I do agree he has it coming so does that bitch jaina. Shes sounding a lot like him these days. But no doubt shes safe for now ¬_¬
