    3rd horde centered Xpac?

    Like really? Can't we move away from Orcs?

    Anyone else feel this way?

    On the other hand, it looks like the Draenei are finally going to get some attention. It's only been about 7-8 years.

    More like a 2nd Orc expansion, and I don't know how I feel about it without seeing the story.

    Except all the still images that show orc warlords, lol.

    I want to hope, but I don't know if I have it left in me.

    That's the exact feeling I had. Pisses me off so much that the writers of WoW can't write anything but Orc stories.

    Personally, I look forward to the games continued lowering of subscribers as a result. People want something other than Orcs all the time. Sadly, it doesn't seem like they can.

    Cata basically forced Thrall down everyone's throats. They tried to make him a neutral hero doing it for the world, but only succeeded in making him a super Shaman, capable of taking down Deathwing.

    After that, we get MoP which was supposed to be the story of Pandaren, their place in the world, and the escalating Horde / Alliance War. Instead, it became the story of Garrosh and his lust for power.

    Now we get this pile of crap, that's focused almost exclusively on Orc and how they're taking it to the Draenei. They mentioned almost half a dozen Orc Heroes, and only brought up one Alliance one. Hell, I think we saw two quick clips of Draenei, but the other 2 1/2 minutes focused on nothing but Orcs.

    Fire the writing staff Blizzard or kiss your cash cow goodbye.

    I guess the Alliance being the only standing superpower doesn't count for anything...

    What I been pointing out is the horde is more than just orcs. Why have we had 3 xpacs orc focused, not counting bc

    Seriously? It's all about the freakin' Alliance being heroes (CAPTAIN FREAKIN' AMERICA HEROES) and what defines THEM. Would you rather be defined by fighting Goblins instead?

    I guess the way I would answer that is… Ultimately, for my part, I always come back to this one theme in Warcraft. I think the core of Warcraft’s animus is cyclic. Because you can only push racial hatred through so many products without it feeling like the same old thing, and thus end. But the pillars of the franchise are orcs and humans; it really is the Alliance and Horde by extension, and it really is those two groups beating the brains out of each other for an extended period of time. That’s always gotta be what Warcraft is about. (Source)
