    If you take that stance, then, Illidan made BC alliance centric because he is a night elf, and he was the final villian until they threw in Sunwell later on. Wrath is so Alliance centric by your standards because not only was the main villain a human, but so was the main protagonists, and another human took over the role of the LK after we vanquished Arthas. Most of the lore was based around humans and their rise or fall or turning into undead champions.


    Confirmation bias. You see what you want to see.

    Mists wasn't horde/orc centric, Garrosh slowly established himself as the main antagonist and final boss; but we weren't fighting him every step of the way. We didn't have orcs in your face constantly. DW showed his face a lot more than you see Garrosh as Alliance. Thrall did have some face time in Cata, but he was Go'el at the time, and not part of the Horde, like Tirion Fordring showing up everywhere in Wrath.

    See, if you aren't biased, you see slight leans here and there, but you aren't brainwashing yourself into seeing some conspiracy that doesn't exist. At that point, there is nothing that can please you except not having your ocd show up at all so you don't tweak out in the slightest.


    How else are they suppose to set up the story? I suppose they could put pictures of ponies over the orcs as they reveal them as the antogonists. Hey look, Alliance are the good guys again! Alliance save the day again! Varian solos Onyxia because he is badass human king (lore-wise).

    Seriously though; I saw tons of draenei in that trailer; but I was focused on looking for the alliance side of the story; while the ones bitching about orcs were looking to confirm their compulsive hate.

    Let's see, Draenor ... draenei, orcs, ogres, gronn, arokkoa, you aren't going to see much outside of that. So Having focus on draenei and orcs in the trailer makes perfect sense.

    Since the draenei aren't the warlords, the image to have at the start would be misleading if it was a bunch of draenei standing in front of the logo, would it not?

    Yeah... seeing a lineup like this isn't helping anything either:

    This is BS. WTF are Draenei doing in there? Those spots could be taken up by more Orcs.

    You don't get more "confirmed bias" than that.

    Of course not.

    Just because all of this Horde based content has made the Alliance stronger than the Horde, doesn't lessen the fact that we've had all of this Horde based content.

    You act like us Orcs want to see Garrosh again... we don't. The details that I read put me to sleep.

    Looking closer, only 1 of those orcs is tagged "Horde." While both Draenei and the Human are tagged "Alliance."

    Looks quite Drenaei centered to me. And the orcs that are featured appear to be the guys both factions will be punching in the face.

    So... the expansion is about stopping the various orc clans from joining Garrosh's wHorde, and you say its Drenaei centered? Did a drop bear rip out your eyes and brain?

    You are not alone. Even orcs are tired of orcs, orcs and more orcs. Jezuz ... let's fight pig people for a change.

    WHAT?! This is the 1st Orc expansion, the hell are you talking about? In a game that's originally about Orcs and Humans! Please! It should've been introduced way sooner!

    What say you? I get to kill more dirty, stinking, filthy Orcs as Alliance, bring it on. Killing Orcs never gets old.

    If you want to create an epic expansion for the Alliance, generally you need to slay a few Orcs.

    I've got bigger issues with this expansion than having us fight some Orcs. I'm just glad Garrosh is confirmed to not be the final boss, just the trigger for what all happens.

    cata's orc's were only subplot, MoP only had a large presence of orcs in its final patch. I think people are just over reacting, that being said i wish it was a legion expansion.

    So I keep hearing arguments that bosses such as Arthas cannot be counted as alliance spawned villains due to the fact that the alliance of WoW is a different one than was in Warcraft II/III.... This also means that this is NOT A HORDE CENTERED XPAC because this is a DIFFERENT HORDE THAN THE FACTION THAT WE PLAY. Thank you for playing, your logic eats itself.

    Sigh. There are no "Horde expansions" or "Alliance expansions." If you feel the Horde story always turns out better, play Horde.

    You guys can calm down, not even Orc fans want the shitty Orc development that they're pushing in WoD. If development mean getting hit with the villain bat in the past AND present, you guys can have it.
