That doesn't really change the fact that they were created by literal alien demigods who arrived on both worlds from space. They didn't evolve naturally from creatures native to their respective worlds.

    but see, Grond was not just made about substances of the world, but from living elements on it too, even if the evolution was not natural, he was natural from there, Agrammar just pull the strings.

    I would say that's a distinction without a difference. Without Aggramar there to pull the strings, as it were, the Gronns, Ogres, and Orcs would've never come to be *naturally*. Same with the Vrykul and Humans of Azeroth, who were derived from the Titan-forged created there. Being made of the substance of a world, regardless of the ingredients, doesn't bestow naturalness when your creator is still an extraterrestrial being.

    A few things.

    A. The Draenei did not rename Draenor. The races there had no name for the world, so the Draenei gave it one.

    B. The orcs probably would not have reacted well to this news. Consider that even DUROTAN got angry at Veleen when he tried to explain what Oshugun really was in Rise of the Horde.

    C. There's no reason to think this would have ultimately worked. When Ner'zhul was tricked it was because he though the ancestors were speaking to him. Gul'dan was not deceived but betrayed his own people for power. I don't think that telling the orcs about space lucifer would have caused Ner'zhul to not be initially deceived by what he thought was his dead wife's spirit and would not have convinced Gul'dan not to ally with them.

    And because your race remained secluded and hid away from the world instead of trying to coexist with the natural inhabitants, you get purged.

    Oh and the Naaru that you brought to this world is now evil getting up to no good

    Proceed to leave Draenor a fel shattered rock and try to play the victim about it
    Don't forget that 2/3 of your race chose to follow Space Lucifer and in another reality they brainwash and assimilate said primitives.

    still there is a difference when the beings create the life of you and when the beings just mold the existing life of the planet into something else

    Draenei are the best. I love them.
    Orcs and ogres are filth. Mindless, destructive and barely sentient.

    I think the OP is very confused.

    Draenei are evil. Their tail is too distracting, makes me stand in the bad.

    The Draenei are not evil, what are you smoking. Stupid maybe, but not evil.

    If the original Triumvirate was any representative of the Draenei society at large, we should conclude that 2/3 were evil and 1/3 stupid.

    If WoD proved anything about orcs, it's that once they have the means to massacre a group of people, they'll go and do it, no further reason needed, probably the only thing that held them back from attacking the Draenei pre-Garrosh was that the orcs' biggest innovation in weaponry was adding a handle to an axe...

    Demon blood? They're off rampaging. New weaponry? They're off rampaging. The only thing that keeps orcs from waging war on something is knowing they'll get their asses kicked if they attack.

    Those were Eredar :P The Draenei are the 1/3 of the faction that left the planet to be hunted by the 2/3.

    Orcs are a culture of peace.
    Please, don't shame orcs. Purely socio-economic reasons driven them to fight against vitality of Draenei.

    Being an enemy of an evil faction doesn't make you evil. I know the Horde want to be the good guys, but they aren't, so just drop it kiddo.
    Horde = Evil.
    Alliance = Good.
    That's just fact.

    So putting your post and that of Soon-TM together: The Draenei we know as such are all stupid, which does sort of match their in-game representation... :P

    I would agree that they are stupid and short-sighted (so much for turbo IQ and Naaru help) but evil? No.
