all this time travel crap has me laughing
Please god don't let it be a shared faction city like shat and dalaran.
I honestly don't care as long as the city has all the necessities and is somewhat central, so it's quick and easy straight forward to get elsewhere.
I could see Black Temple being restored to being a main city, like how it used to be Korabor, but then what about Shattrath? What would happen to that city lorewise?
Either way, I'm not too keen on the idea of time travel, so I'm leaving that out because the Caverns of Time are on Azeroth, not Dreanor, so I don't want to see such a change in lore.
I highly doubt we'll be spending any time in the part of Outland we already know, if that's where the expansion is based at.
Either way, Legion or Bronzes, it'll be a brand new city Blizz pulls out their ass.

Are you sure about that?

"Grom" seems to be a trademark of Honda.
Aye, it will be a sanctuary for both factions like we had Dalaran and Shattrath City. It will be located somewhere in Ny'alotha.
A bike has no legal precedence over a fictional character.
It's why you can still have characters named "McDonald" despite McDonalds.
The only potential reason why you'd need to change the name is if we're not talking about Grom Hellscream, but talking about the race Grom.

I don't mind neutral cities as long as they don't have a notably stronger connection to one faction over the other. Shattrath was the former capital city of the Draenei, and (prior to 2.3 at least) had far more Draenei present then Blood Elves. Dalaran was basically an Alliance city made neutral specifically for the events of WotLK.
Rather ironically Pandaria would of been an excellent place to have a truly neutral city, but with the Horde/Alliance conflict so heated Blizzard opted to have separate cities.
Going forward into expansion 5 my opinion on the matter is that if there is a good opportunity to have a city without strong connections to either factions, then we can have a neutral city. Otherwise, have two separate cities.
Assuming that my theory on the next expansion taking place on a new fragment of Draenor is correct, then we would want to avoid things like old Orcish strongholds or Draenei cities for a neutral city. An Arakkoa City could be viable (assuming the race doesn't become playable, or is available to both factions), or perhaps a race completely unique to this new region of Draenor.
Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.
Draenei cities/strongholds are:
Shattrath City (capital)
Auchindoun (necropolis - formerly orcish?)
Temple of Karabor (Black Temple)
Farahlon
Sha'naar
Telmor
Telredor
Could be any of those, or a new unheard of city.

Black Temple for Horde, Tempest Keep for Alliance /thread
Agreed. Trademarks are industry specific. That's why we can have situations like Monster Cables, Monster Energy Drinks, and the movie Monsters Inc. all trademarked by different companies and with no licensing agreements between them. Trademarks are meant to avoid confusion between different products, and a motorcycle and a fictional character are pretty difficult to confuse.
