Gallywix's people [spoilers!!!]

[Wilfire]

Who are Gallywix's "people'? Why does he think that they can handle the Alliance? Did he hire Azeroth's top 20 badasses to take care of the Alliance problem once and for all? I looked all around Silithus and the only people from Gallywix that I found were incompetent goblin mooks sleeping on the job. Did the Alliance find out about the mining operation in Silithus because Gallywix's "people" sold out information about it? It's mind-boggling why Sylvanas would think that Gallywix's mysterious badasses could handle the mining operation themselves when the Horde has the Kor'kron ready to kick some Alliance all day long and Nathanos' Deathguard.

He was probably talking about the goblins in there, or someone else we don't know about yet.

[Skyduke]

I don't know about Horde martial might... Where were the Kor'Kron and deathguard while Vol'jin was getting his ass kicked by "a.random.felguard.001" and Thrall was being a little girl on the ground? :P

[Nathanyel]

You assume that Gallywix is an effective leader.
Despite his political status, he's still an entrepeneur at heart, with profits in mind, and little else.
So yes, he's confident a few mooks will be enough to protect the excavation or even keep away all prying eyes.

[Eazy]

He meant Goblins for mining Azerite... wasn't that obvious?

[DeicideUH]

He was just saying that his people (the goblins and other workers in the camp) were taking care of keeping the azerite mining a secret.

Then we immediately see that the Alliance has just discovered his operation.

[Lochton]

Gallywix's people is most likely the glorious Gob Squad, other Goblins and the Hobgoblin grunts.

Don't confuse quest and gameplay mechanics for narrative elements.

Yes, it was obvious. Gallywix overestimated his workers' output, because he's a businessman selling his business to the Warchief, and it worked. He played his hand and Sylvanas gave him support (the Horde player champions, as backup) so he can continue his mining business. This thread is pointless.

As the Warchief, Vol'jin was the front line. He was probably the first to charge into battle.

He literally said that the Alliance doesn't know about it, meaning, why would he feel the need to protect the goblins from the Alliance if they're not even there?
We, the players, gets to see the Alliances presence, but Gallywix doesn't know at all.

[Sting]

If he thinks the alliance doesn't know, why announce their presence by having half the horde army go there? It makes perfect sense to keep it on the dl.

[Grenzstein]

Horde players are "Gallywix people". The first thing they ask of us when we reach Silithus is to kill Alliance spies.

Nah, he meant someone(s) else. Nathanos specifically notes that Gallywix did not want the player going down to Silithus.

Then he is talking about his incompetent minions.
There is not much to read here, Gallywix just said that so Sylvanas wouldn't mess with his operation. He just wants to profit.

[Kralljin]

They probably didn't expect bird scouts.

Altough any Druid flying over Silitus would've found out the same thing.

Exactly what I was trying to point out in my original post. Sylvanas is the Warchief of the Horde and is therefore the supreme commander of the Horde's military might. Gallywix isn't a fool and he knows what he's dealing with so he wouldn't just send miners with zero combat experience to mine something as groundbreaking as Azerite. He's got "people" providing security for the mining operation and dealing with any Alliance problems which might arise. Those people are obviously badasses (or Gallywix at least believes them to be badasses) since apparently they can take care of the Alliance (otherwise Gallywix would have asked Sylvanas to dispatch the Kor'kron or the Deathguard to secure the dig site, losing profits to Alliance's meddling isn't in his interests). So how come Gallywix has these previously unheard of badasses? Did Gallywix hire one of the Trade Fleets mentioned previously in the lore? Or did he just hire mercenaries?

Your so horrible wrong. Garrosh was on the front line all the time, in ashenvale twilight highlands org ship battle ect.

[Raziella]

Mob bosses always have "people." Just goons and hired toughs. I think it was just a dialect choice based on his character instead of indicative of specific other characters.

What could this possibly have to do with Garrosh, since he died before the invasion?

Vol'jin was on the front lines of this attack, not the only Warchief to do so.

Gob squad maybe?
