Alliance players: "ugh, not another horse or gryphon please"
Also Alliance players: "JFC why is this mount not a horse!"
What did you expect? Gilneas is retaken, then the sky splits open, again, and Xal'atath invades with a Void army?
I do expect small bit of content and/or story around the rebuilding of Gilneas in the coming patches or even in the next couple weeks, but I dread that anything like that would now be declared as a "panicked reaction" by those who didn't like the questline, y'know, like Terran hastily rendered Old Soldier on his phone in one day after people were confused about the Sylvanas Warbringer cinematic.
Honestly, it feels like players remember any slight mistake, bad phrasing, slip of the tongue, even if corrected shortly after, and then ride that dead horse not just into the ground, but through the entire planet. "Chronicle is objective canon", "The Legion transcends realities", "3D-printed" etc.
That's like someone reminding you every day of the time you threw a crumbled ball of paper at the bin and missed, or when you misspelled some word in an email.
To clarify, yes, I think calling Chronicle "canon" or whatever was the mistake, not that it turned out to be PoV.
But we aready know they change things to better fit the current narrative, or even just gameplay. We got a big apology for the Draenei retcon, and even that can be summarized as "sorry for changing the lore. It will happen again." and there was "Isn't Falstad dead?" which was an outright mistake/mixup. I think that these two and other smaller things established that the story is fluid, and will be bent and reshaped.
We don't need an orchestrated apology every time this happens again in any small capacity, and as far as I remember they did acknowledge that Chronicle 1 gave the impression that it was objective canon. That's enough in my book.
Isn't gold already technically account-wide, as you can trade cross-realm? I'm actually a bit disappointed that this doesn't apply at least to mail between your own characters, so you need another online character (a second subscribed account, whether another player or one of yours) to trade between your own characters.
But yes, gold should be account-wide, without the need to move amounts between characters.
Cooperation is not weakness. Many tribes have at least a friendly association with the Horde now, thanks to diplomacy from the Darkspear and, yes, also the Zandalari. That is quite a feat for the tribe once considered to be the weakest.
And honestly, if it means that you can better RP as a member of another tribe, including hopefully more customization, then sure, I'm all for involving the other tribes in the Heritage Questline.
