SHouldn't blizzard instead stick to their guns and finish a story through rather than keep changing it based on popular opinioin?
it's like shows that change themselves based on what people say. Finish the original story, and see what happens. I remember a famous case of a show that couldn't change it's episodes because it had filmed and post produced everything, it was one of the most successful ones with an original ending because writers couldn't change what happened based on popular opinion. And yes the show did dip partway through, but picked up again.
Bad analogy I know, but they really should see what they start through, in games like wow, people aren't going to stop playing because the story made them uncomfortable or they didn't like what was happening, because sometimes end result is incredible. Take the WoT... I hated what they did to the night elves again, but they didn't see that through b/c it was supposed to end in the horde in control of Kalimdor and Alliance of eastern kingdoms - if it ahd ended with night elves in cool new home and in a more promising state (e.g. occupying the broken isles, using a new well and world tree shaladrassil) that would have been very promising with future campaigns to take back kalimdor instead of this lame duck scneario where they've got no capital, no home and horde peace probably means their lands are going to just be handed back to them instead of them winning them back after being strengthened) - that's just an example - having new situations for age old stalemate could have been interesting and refreshing, as long as the end result provided something that was even more exciting than what they lost it would have been enjoyed. But it looks like they scarpped all that to pander to complaints quickly.. I'm sure their original plan was not to have Sylvanas abandon the horde, but be it's greatest warchief into the shadowlands.
she is been written this way because people hate the horde for being what the horde was originally. but what do they expect.. they wrote the horde. they didn't make it a Sith empire, and made it by far the more interesting faction.. I mean by far (compare the horde to how lame the alliance is - nothing interesting happens on teh alliance, the races that were all initially interesting are just under developed and under utilised ).. so off course peoplea re more invested in the horde, and when they painted it as the faction with good, people aren't going to like being portrayed as the villain.. if yo uknow this, but have a good surprise planend for it in the end, why are you changing it instead of seeing it through? Unless you intended to make the horde that sith like organisation.. but then you put goodly Thalyssra and her nightborne in it, and send the more dangerous volatile void elves to the alliance?
They literally shoot themselves in the foot.
