As even elements agreed with garrosh on their interment camp stuff and Garrosh revealed Gul'dan evil schemes he was extremely trust worthy and seemed to be right on everything so him telling Draenais are evil is extremely beliavable as most clans didn't trust draenai one bit aftet what they did to ogres so it wasn't only a prophet but draenais being extremely suspicious.
Lightbound draenais are pratically doing what the legion was doing killing all those who oppose them, converting or force converting so draenais are pratically the same as legion as legion did the same. Oh wait their force converted orcs or converted orcs were called lightbound yrel and her followers are still just normal draenai so without velen guidance draenai always seems to fall heck plenty of draenai joined to legion in draenor just because velen couldn't guide them.
Also killing all orcs would have being more merciful and humane and alliance armies would have died without an orc there and lastly humans did much worse shit to trolls so they can't complain.
And that justifies genocide how exactly or their let's conquer stuff? You just repeat the same stuff over and over again.
what? How does that make the lightbound draenais and the legion "practically" the same? They have complete different goals, it takes much more to put something on the same pedestal as the legion. Look I know you try to portray the Draenai as the big bad inherently evil race, but it does not change the nature of the Orcs. Besides Blizzards asspull about the AU Draenei becoming fanatical maniacs you understand that they've endured the Orcs practically genociding them, which might give them a reason listening to the light. I think there is a huge difference between some dude telling you and some visions and nearly seeing your race going extinct.
Where would alliance armies died without an orc "there"? Also, the trolls did sick stuff to the Humans as well, two wrongs don't make a right, as you seem to suggest.
As draenai brought legion knowingly there and they didn't belong to draenor and nothing really justifies genocide just give logical reasons for it.
As blizzard have plenty of times stated light wants enforce their will Arosa cosmos and au draenai are pretty much serving them and I could maybe understand that its retribution for what iron horde did but they are even targetint Durotan and the Frostwolf just because light tells them to kill all those who don't submit. So lightbound are aiming go with light and enforcing their will on everyone like x'era tried to do with illidan or outright murder them after they helped them to survive like durotan and frostwolf.
When saurfang Challenged sylvanas to mak'gora and before that one of the alliance leaders even said sylvanas and his followers were the only one with enough military power to fight against sylvanas.
Humans started they invaded land which belonged to other races and started acting like victims after causing the war and then trying genocide trolls. Heck SW humans even resorted on using sargerases power against gurubashi after again humans started the war.
So escaping from someone is now the same as bringing it intentionally there? You make it sounds like they've done it just to shit on Draenor and their inhabitants for shits and giggles. I don't understand that victim blaming to be honest
Obviously what they are doing in AU Draenor is out of proportion and fanatical, but I think there is still a huge difference between some guy who comes out of nowhere and visions to genocide a race and what the Draenai have endured. If they Draenai are so insane, why haven't they have gone as fanatical on Azeroth with the Light?
Source for that? I can't find it

If they weren't the same organization it wouldn't say "reinvigorated". It would say "recreated", "reformed" or something of that sort. Which directly disproves your claim that this source supposedly "makes it clear" that Stormwind founded this "new alliance". It does the exact opposite. To be reinvigorated something must have already existed prior to reinvigoration and still continued to exist at the time of reinvigoration because of what reinvigorating something means.
And no matter how many times you claim that, pledging yourself to the same thing more than once is possible just fine, vide pledge of allegiance in US. Especially in cases where there's a power shift like was the case here. Also, it's not referred to as "an Alliance". It's "a reinvigorated Alliance" as per your own quote. Trying to remove the descriptive adjective out of there isn't an argument. Now, which specific Alliance was being invigorated there? The Alliance of Lordaeron as that's the alliance they were all in.
And given how it says the Alliance was reinvigorated the implication that it's now guided by Stormwind is more than explicit because (again) of what reinvigoration means. And because of, you know, the whole context of Lordaeroon collapsing and power structure shifting around.
Stop trying to fool posters like @Ardenaso with your blatant fabrications that rely on you ignoring what words in your own source mean.
For two reasons.
One : Blizzard is lazy. Why create two organizations when one can be enough. And since the Alliance is the default "Good" faction, organizations thematically linked to it have been used and developed for neutral purposes - often at the expense of the Alliance's development itself.
Two : Blizzard wants the Horde to be Power Fantasy of their game. They can't establish Horde organizations open to the Alliance and in the same time have those same organizations spitting on Alliance players all the time when "non-neutral".
That's how we end with the vicious cycle we are in. The Reliquary ? Why use this when you've got the League of Explorer, who seems to be less linked to one faction in the mind of the devs ? Nevermind Bael'gun, or that their base is in Irongorge, of course.

Well draenai knew legion followed them and they could stayed indefinetly in their spaceship.
Elements and most ancestors agreed with that "someguy" and which they started waging war against was race which was according to chronicles 2 from the begining extreme suspicious and how easily they crushed the ogre armies so ofc if a guy who came from the future tells them they are evil orcs are going to trust him after saving them from legion which draenais brought.
Well same reason they still follow velen as they went so insane after velens death and are doing pratically same thing as eredar but with different reasoning.
Chronicles 2 medivh crushing gurubashi armies with a magic he doesn't know what it is and stormwind celebrated it.
Just to make things clear to understand how you think, because I can't imagine anyone could be that simple minded, when it comes to stuff like that. Let's pretend someone follows you with a gun with the intention to kill you. You run away and this crazy guy kills others while you run into a building. According to your logic it would be your fault these people died? That's such stupid victim blaming it's insane.
I understand that, you've written that over and over again, but to ask you again: Is that enough to practically trying to genocide a race in the cruelst way possible or don't you think there could've been other ways to prevent the "evil draeneis" killing them first. It sure as hell didn't look like they had a very tough ethical choice in their head while swinging their axe towards children and women and building some fucked up roads. The whole thing just shows that Orcs are over and over again too stupidly agressive and barbaric, getting them into more trouble than they've been in before.
Not sure what you mean to be honest.
Ok, I thought I knew what you meant but wasn't sure because that would be again very twisted logic. You make it sound like the Humans willingly used Sargeras magic as if they knew that Medivh was under Sargeras influence. Also it wasn't really the Humans using it but Medivh, which at that time couldn't be considered a Human as a Guardian. So no, it's not right to say that the Humans "resorted" to Sargeras power when they haven't a) used it to begin with but Medivh and b) nobody knew shit about Sargeras at that time. I mean you even wrote it yourself, that he didn't know what it was.

It would be a nice touch from Blizzard to change stuff up. It hurts the immersion when helping your enemies organisations one day and the other day you start killing them.
I'd love that. It'd be a win-win situation for both factions : the Alliance wouldn't lose its stuff because it must share it with the Horde while the Horde would get to be fleshed out more and make use of many minor characters who would do well to transition to the higher level of representation for the faction.
Gonna knitpick. Unless something was greatly retconned Sargeras wasn't an unknown. He was known among the guardians and had already been formally engaged by the previous guardian as part of a greater ploy.
It would be more accurate to say Sargeras was believed to be defeated rather than no-one knew of him.
Its more like you run into the house and stay there living for a few years without telling you live there and when you see the gun man coming you just run away without warning anyway and in legal terms that would be knowingly endangering other people lives which in legal cases have being given jail time for.
The road was only in main timeline didn't happened in AU. Also how they killed draenai was extremely merciful in AU if you compare it to interment camps.
Meaning Lightbound Drainais always seems to crazy like the eredar did if they don't have velen and lightbound are example for it and how the lightbound treated frostwolfs and durotan after they helped to save them in AU proves Garrosh was right about them.
It really doesn't matter they used it as alliance people are blaming orcs warlocks and orcs for killing draenor the planet with fel magic but they didn't it would kill the world so it doesn't matter.
Now you are pulling shit out of your ass. It's the victims fault, of course.
I can imagine how merciful it is watching your loved ones get split in half by an giant axe /s
It does matter, you can't say Humans resorted to Sargeras power, it's completly wrong to say it like that, you make it sound as if they intentionally used it. I also don't know who blamed the orcs for anything regarding Draenor dying, but it also doesn't matter since it wasn't about the Orcs at all in this case.
- - - Updated - - -
Yes you are right, I could have formulated it better. It was more targeted to the sentence that SW Humans resorted to Sargeras power.
Largely because the horde vs alliance story is stupid and holds back any further storyline. That is why it was used so horribly in BfA to get over and done with it. Artificial war for the fanboys is artificial.
The moment warcraft became an mmo, the war lost it's relevance from a gameplay standpoint because you will never be able to let one side win and because focussing everything on just that war becomes boring, fast. Imagine wow, but it's only open world pvp and that is it, stuck in vanilla's world. No stories, no Onyxia, no Ragnaros, no old gods and bugs. Yeah sure some would love that and they would cry foul when they find so few care about that in a game since they can find better in other sorts of games.
Horde working with 'alliance' factions is because the devs got limited time and have no reason to actually care about 'the war'.
I'm an altoholic since 2005.
Its not the victims fault 100% of the time but draenai is doing knowing endangerment and legion only destroyed the world draenais lived for a period of time not just stayed as such its more like draenai coming to world to into house they don't live in knowing the gunman(legion) kills everyone inside the house they live in and they did even warn the navites nor prepared them against legions inevitable coming so its their fault so far as they didn't warn the orcs and give them chance to fight back.
More merciful then you being forced to kill your loved ones personally.
They used medivh who was known for how he killed his father which rumored to be dark and of his incredibly mysterious and dark powers as such accepting his help is same as knowingly accepting person who killed his father with dark magic as such there was enough knowledge he used dark powers.
Yes, I can imagine how good it would have turned out if the Draenai acted like you describe it here, after all some visions and some guy from the future were enough to get them mercilessly slaughtered .
You mean after the Orcs invaded their planet and killed their love ones as well? Tough luck. Not saying it's right what they've done in those camps, but still can't compare it to the countless times the Orcs have done something bad, they are not these poor guys who've got exploited or something, they've lost a war which they have started while slaughtering civilians left and right.
Yes, first you talk about rumoured to be dark and then you talk about "knowingly accepting who killed his father with dark magic". So what is it now? I think this is the first time someone so hardly tries to portray the Humans as "resorting to Sargeras powers", the mental gymnastics are astonishing.
Since when was the Argent Dawn or the Crusade an alliance faction? It was ALWAYS neutral, the Crusade Is neutral to this day albeit they de-attached themselves from the Reformed Silver Hand that now Is bud buds with the Alliance, again. But the Argents were always neutral, protecting Azeroth from Undead, Demons and alike with all sorts of races within the faction.
And as far as we know, again Blizzard Is BAD at worldbuilding and showing us character, lore and story progresion IN THE GAME, the Silver Hand just splintered from the big paladin pals group of Blood Knights, Sunwalkers, VIndicators, Silver Hands and Argent Crusade and all went separate again, but we can only theorize on that as we've seen Silver Hand Paladins specificly fight with Turalyon in the Stromgarde Warfront, hence our assumption of what's happened to the Order Hall originally.
And on that subject, what's happened to the other order halls? They need to start explaining that. Are we still the leaders? Did we pass on leadership to someone better and more Interesting than adventurer #6237125/B?
Permabanned on WoW since April 14th 2015, main acc I had since vanilla gone and trashed for no good reason, 6+ years later still banned with more appeals resulting in my BATTLENET games being suspended for a month eachtime I try making TICKETS because I'm asking for help with the perma ban. Blizzard has stopped caring for their first veteran players and would rather we leave, considering the Lawsuit, can you afford to keep peps banned even for so long under questionable circumstances?
As chronicles 2 said orcs were extremely wary of draenai how they treated ogre after beating them and many clans said they would treat draenai with outright hostility meaning draenai caused the orcs to distrust them long before Garrosh came and they never sought to make their relations better.
Humans slaughtered civilians too left and right against troll in all of their war so they really can't complain. Also Humans invaded the planet too and sought to overthrow native races ad exterminate them and yeah losing war I understand that but just killing all orcs fastly if far morally better than make mothers kill their sons heck they even forced orcs who didn't fight in the wars to fight in interment camps.
Also killing civilians in war is extremely normal in mediaval times heck mongols destroyed entire population and salted lands for few countries they conquered and only in modern times being a civilians have any value and no race in azeroth is culturally in modern times not even Garroshes trial judged him for killing civilians.
Humans knew medivh used dark powers to kill his father(accident but still did it) and still they used his powers so humans knowingly accepted persons help who used dark powers which turned out to be sargeras.
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!
I make Warcraft 3 Reforged HD custom models and I'm also an HD model reviewer.
why exactly are u ignoring the fact that Eredar (yes that is the race name) are mainly pure evil and one of highest evil ranks in warcraft history, and Draenei are the extreme minority exception, yet insist that all orcs are bloodthirsty, even if in MU we've seen multiple clans refuse to drink blood and as result get wiped out (only frostworlf get lucky and just exiled) by rest of the blood-driven horde?
Don't forget that AU crap is basically that, entire WoD 'lore' is a big shit on rest of wow lore that doesn't make sense, easiest example is Blackhand, the same guy who threw his own kids to Gul'dan to keep his position as warchief, has backstory of sacrifice himself for his tribe (what the F*CK?)
If u insist on use AU crap then it also backfires as it show draenei are exactly as orcs thought they are and fanatics, just this time on the other side (aka light), orcs tend to solve problems with their fists but draenei are race of almost purely extremists
Also WoD didn't present all draenor, we see only the major continent of the planet, not everything
i disagree
it is simply because alliance massively outnumber horde and by miles, stormwind alone has more citizens than every other horde capital combined
When ur faction is ~ a million vs a faction that doesn't even get to 500k, u need that 1 million faction to have many of its ppl go neutral or else there will be zero potential of a conflict
- - - Updated - - -
U ignored - again - the lightforged draenei (or draenei HD if u like memes) who appeared in Legion
they are literally a fraction of draenei who refused to run away and stood and fight for infinity of time against legion instead of running away killing innocents in the struggle
So we have actual example of what draenei should done but refused to do
yet blizz f8cked up really hard in this, draenei HD should hate regular draenei the most for the cowards they were who run away left them fighting impossible war, even in 7.3 quests they hated draenei and velen, then they joined alliance (what?)
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

http://youtu.be/x3ejO7Nssj8 7:20+ "Alliance remaining super power", clearly blizz favor horde too much, that they made alliance the super power
