    Delicious.
    Do you have any constructive to add to the discussion or are you simply acting childish due to an absence of anything of note to post? For the record, I'm no 'fanboi' of the Horde. In fact, I loathe both factions equally and find the whole 'faction pride' and faction model as a whole detrimental to the storytelling of individual races which matter to me more in the long run.

    Well the Shado-Pan army are a bit of a joke. I can't really see them purging anyone. Most of their greatest and most successful warriors still manage to kill themselves regularly enough with little effort when you quest with them.

    Ok, I guess I have to spell it out.

    Someone has to decide where the vicious cycle ends. An eye for an eye leaves the entire world blind, as much as the individual acts might make the people involved in getting their 'justice' feel better.

    It's actually funny, because that concept and people's general failure to understand that the scales do not always have to balance perfectly and that's OK mirror pretty closely.

    Trassk, I can see where you're coming from, but I disagree that this bit with the vale is just thinly veined horde-bashing to make the alliance feel better. The fact of the matter is that Garrosh is a warmongering, bloodthirsty, and racist tyrant. And instead of removing him, the Horde has allowed him to do his thing, despite all the evidence we saw through the revamped cataclysm 1-60 zones and elsewhere that this shit was coming. And like it or not, for choosing to remain part of that group, members of the horde are responsible. "I was just following orders" is the most naive saying ever. Things like this are just part of the price for ignoring his actions for so long, and it's nearly time to pay the debt.

I think that's something noone would believe if it happened in the story. They are upset, and they do you the ENORMOUS courtesy of giving you the chance to make thiings right before they kick you from their holy ground.
    It's not that, it's more the fact that the Shado-Pan are a bunch of weaklings, thinking about purging the shrine of THEIR SAVIOURS. Taran Zhu is a majorly weak character who gets corrupted by some random sha, and then gets saved by 5 of the people who he was thinking about purging. Where would the Shado-Pan be without us? Dead most likely, like the useless weaklings that they are.

    I mean fair enough they're annoyed that the Horde dug a whole in the Vale, but thinking about PURGING? The Shado-Pan couldnt purge a blocked toilet using the worlds most powerful drain unblocker. Taran-Zhu probably couldnt even figure out how to take the cap off the damn bottle.

    Kinda annoyed how Blizzard portray the Shado-Pan as the "protectors" of Pandaria and yet paint them as highly arrogant, and what's worse, extremely weak. Even that Master Snowdrift or whatever his name is, the boss in Shado-Pan monastery, doubt our ability to help them and then says "You might be of help to us after all" when we kick his ass. Why doesnt he do anything against the Sha? Oh yeah he's also a major weakass.

    Thats how WoW works though. Its not NPCs that are the heroes its the players.

    There's a big difference between doing something, and doing something that has consequences. The Alliance could make a forest of babies impaled on spikes, but if nothing happens as a result, it doesn't matter.

    The shado-pan, who acted like there the big bad shadowy protectors of pandaria against the sha, yet the moment any real conflict came to pandaria that would cause the sha to manifest, the shado pan become corrupted by the sha, and we, the outsiders, need to free them from it. Just do the shado-pan monastery to see it.
    Taran zhu become the most corrupted, and we save his ass from the sha.
    Its then us who come to fight against the sha in townlong steppes, obviously there forces arn't that powerful enough so they need the help of outsiders to take care of there problem.
    And on the isle of thunder its both horde and alliance forces fighting against the thunderking that weakens his forces, allowing the shado pan to have any form of victory against him.

    And yet, despite all this, despite us (in this case horde), showing the shado-pan that we are prepared to rectify any mistakes we've made, and even stick our necks out of the line to help them, after all this, all it takes is the goblins digging up the vale, and suddenly, nothing we say accounts for anything anymore, we're suddenly the outsiders again and told to leave.

    you know what F*** you taran zhu.

    Due to the thread of the Mantid,the Yaungol and the Mogu...The Shado-Pan needed to maintain an eye over the entire continent and to watch over a Wall that goes from the highest mountains(Kun'lai Summit) to the Sea. Imagine however their only purpose for a night would be to PURGE(think stealth attack) the Shrine of the Two Moons.Ez

    From what I gather, Pandas were getting slaughtered, no way they have numbers to even execute ambush.

    You would expect their leader to be stronger though.

    I honestly cant think of a faction leader that's weaker than Taran-Zhu story wise. Is there anything he's actually been able to defeat WITHOUT being gravely wounded? In fact has he ever defeated ANYTHING without us stepping in to save his ass?

    Gamon would probably solo him with his little pinky...

    Really when you think about it Taran Zhu is now barking orders at the horde to leave the vale.. the same horde that just faught against the thunder king, well Taran stood on the sidelines bleeding...

    yeah, if there was any dam logic in story here, horde players would just kick it ass off the cliff into the sea.

    As the OP, I must say I'm amused and somewhat dismayed by the responses - where did you see in my OP that this was a Horde vs Alliance whinefest?

    This isn't anti- either -- it's anti Shado-Pan, don't sidetrack.!

    Wait.....

    What are we even discussing here? Having Garrosh do an evil act is Alliance favoritism?

    It's funny that when they need help they will take it but when they don't need us they shove us off like idiots.

    fair enough, though it does feel like another stab at the horde with its current problems with Garrosh. I mean what does it honestly achieve in doing this, in having the shado-pan bear down (ha...) on the horde in the vale, the same vale they have faught to protect, and yet Zhu now even listening, and dismissing the hordes political problem as nothing he cares about?

    Oh sure, apparently its good enough for the horde to help solve your political problems on pandaria with the mogu and the mantid, but when it comes to the problems we're faced in ours, thats nothing you give a shit about?

    Sorry but i don't understand this tragedy about. Calm down, relax and read it better. What Taran Zhu simply said is that IF the Horde (but could have been the Alliance too) wouldn't had any part in the fight against the Sha and the Mogu (and so basically pretending to enter in the Vale and quietly relaxing there all the time) after the "little" and good-looking hole Garrosh's goons made in a SACRED vale, they would have simply kicked out the Horde from the Vale.

    Seriously, what's wrong about it? If the Alliance would have made the same thing Taran Zhu would have gone to their shrine saying the same, identical things. And no, you cannot pretend that the Shado-pan sees all that huge distinction between the "Garrosh's Horde" and "the Horde", Garrosh and his lackies brought their ass in the shrine multiple times, with him acting as the big Warchief representing the Horde. When Dezco explained some detail to Taran Zhu, he becomes a little more understanding and will just wait for what we fucking do with Garrosh. They admit they have a debt to us, this is the whole reason for which they don't kick us away.

    Sorry, but i don't absolutely see anything terrible about it. Yeah is a punch in the face, but we all know who we must thank for it.

    Typical Panderan BS, they preach controlled emotions and peace as well, but are constantly getting corrupted by sha and make zero attempt at peace with the yaungol.
