Varok Saurfang was one of the most popular characters of the Horde for years, and was widely regarded and respected as a war hero, especially after Wrath of the Lich King.
However, I've noticed that Saurfang seemed to have had a very mixed reaction during the last expansion, the Fourth War, because of his controversial choices; Alliance players thought he was just an enabler and an accessory to Teldrassil and possibly found him not as easy to relate to, while Horde players seem to view him as as traitor after abandoning them at Lordaeron (some players actually wanted to kill Saurfang during the scenario), and because Sylvanas seemed more popular than he was. I understand most Alliance and Horde NPCs seem to revere him now, because he apparently died a noble and honorable death.
What do most players nowadays regard Saurfang, as a hero or a traitor? Do they generally view him positively or negatively? Do you think he was an interesting and compelling character?
