And in no way dealt with the fact that Hemet's trophy hunting is also very problematic. Journey to new lands, kill everything that cannot talk in massive numbers, mount their heads on your mantle is not a great message.

Judging by how they addressed anything else in game, it would be the most patronizing shit ever. Let's not. Leave that to writers competent at social issues.
Ooooof, this is such a nonsense take for video games honestly. There are entire games dedicated to hunting, Red Dead Redemption 2 has a feature like that, restricting or condemning something like this in a video game is really pointless. Video games display reality (more or less), the good and the bad. They don't need to be political correct or transport a message let alone be a moral compass. There is nothing problematic with Nessingwary and his hunting. It's the point of his entire existence.

Ehm, yes there was a problem with it. If you can't see it you are part of the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "hunting animals for fun" part came from Afrasiabi himself.
Good riddance. I don't want the glorification of mounting rare animals on a spike for fun in WoW. (and for thouse who liked it, the old quests are still in the game. Atleast they actually made a positive message instead of deleting the old content like they did with other problematic stuff)
Last time I checked GTA games were rated as 18+ content. And yeah, I don't really care for these and wouldn't mind if they stopped to produce new ones lol.
And I could argue that "being a gangster who steals cars" is less problematic than people who hunt rare innocent animals and put their heads on a spike for fun.

I think that's what they implied. Pandaren raised the bar with customization, next expac (WoD) everyone else was slowly brought up to par or better. Then they've been doing the same until most of the races currently have a solid level. Now with Drac'thyr they are raising the bar again and in future expacs (hopefully as soon as the next one) we will see broader customization yet again.

I mean in one game it's pretty clear you are a criminal. Hemet is celebrated for what he did to appease some previous century colonialist/anglosaxon archetype about (white) human control of their "destiny" and nature which for some reason the dudebros who made WoW felt was worth appeasing?
I mean you don't just steal cars in GTA. You can literally shoot hundreds of people willy nilly.

I don't think it's that deep honestly. They just had a jungle zone and thought to add a "safari" quest or whatever. I always disliked those quests because they seemed neverending. Just quest after quest, was pretty boring.
But anyway, this discussion reminds me of a video I saw once during Cata where this lady was complaining that WoW was a satanic game because in the Nelf starting zone the first quests make you go murder wild animals.
Isn't that a bit hypocritical from some one who has a Adeptus Mechanicus Avatar? When it comes to dark content W40k is at the very forefront with raping/enslaving dark space elves, a rotten human imperium where people get mind wipes and turned into floating servo skulls (like the one you have in your avatar picture), chaos gods that thrive on war, pestilence, lust end deceive.
There's room for darker content in every universe and considering how warcraft started it's getting a bit too tame/friendly.
