![]() Ratio be damned, that was a good story.
What I am annoyed about, however, is the general lack of interaction between the warmongering Horde and the pandaren themselves, the Lorewalker story and A Little Patience excepted. Fuck, the first part of the Dark Heart of Y'shaarj scenario should have been murdering and/or bullying the Golden Lotus. Anyways, one of the stories should have been the Horde mistreating Pandaren, and the Alliance saving them. I mean, might as well, right? Same reason he gives no shits about Sylvanas beyond the possibility of her not being strong enough to rein in Forsaken who want the rest of the Horde dead. Quote:

![]() Pandaren are worse at defending their lands than the Alliance.

![]() They're actually pretty good. I mean, they've managed to stagnate far, far longer than the night elves, and yet are only lightly bapped with the "u r stagnating!" stick.
Not to mention they have the Alliance bleeding and dying to protect them from the Horde, and they have Alliance and Horde bleeding and dying to protect them from the various NPC threats. Quite frankly, they're geniuses. Once I work my way through the five hundred open tabs on Firefox.

![]() Vanilla and BC had a more Alliance focus then the Horde, however both of them had amazing cultures that you felt connected too. If you look at Outland, each race of the Alliance and the Horde had at least 1 outpost dedicated to them on the continent. Now we see only Orc/human outposts, and that is the main problem. The Alliance and the Horde were both tough and noble back then, the "war" between them was dying down and they didn't act like total idiots. Wrath started us down a path of forcing them to fight for the sake of fighting because EVERYONE apparently wants us to go back to WC1-2, even though over half the wow playerbase probably hasn't even played WC3. Cata made the Horde look like they were being evil for no reason and the Alliance look like they were absolutely horrible at being a world power, and MoP made the Alliance look noble and stupid while the Horde looked stupid and pure evil, and then made the Horde rebellion look just plain stupid and annoying.

2) Use excess money to buy Warcraft III Battlechest legally and with ability to download Goblin Tinker and Daelin Proudmoore stuff. Use extra excess money as pocket change. 3) After two months, throw your money away at World of Warcraft again. If you still want to. I really have no idea what the Firefox tab comment was about. I assumed it was related to piracy downloads or something. Last edited by BaronGrackle; 08-11-2013 at 05:16 PM.. |

![]() I hope that in the Alliance short story the Pandaren actually acknowledge that the Alliance has been saving them at every turn. Fighting to protect the Pandaren doesn't mean much when they all hate you anyway because fighting is always bad guize.

Right now I'm reading about buying Treasury Bills. ![]() I'm not hopeful at all, considering Blizzard's tendency to take the edge off most Alliance victories this expansion.

![]() No, it was learning that you just screwed over the chance to get Blood Elves back into the Alliance. (Which would have the side-impact of effectively uniting Dalaran's primary populations to the Alliance as well.)

![]() Please. You think I care about a bunch of racist opportunistic traitors who switch allegiances at the drop of a hat?

![]() Well, if the music was any indication…the Pandaren version of the Alliance march might give us the idea that Pandaren are working with the Alliance. And I don't think it means the Tushui, because one would think then, that the Horde would get a song too of some kind.

![]() I've got a basic plot for the Alliance short story!
* A Human begins fishing * He catches some driftwood, tangled wire, and other stuff * A mysterious figure comes up behind him and asks what he is trying to accomplish * The human says he's fishing * The mysterious figure asks, "What does that mean to you?" * The human doesn't have a good answer, not at first * The figure suggests the human close his eyes and calm his mind . . . * The human catches a huge fish * He turns to face the mysterious figure, brandishing his catch triumphantly * The mysterious figure is a Jinyu. It slaps him in the face. * Jinyu leave the Alliance forever |
