>NOT MAIN CANON
Which is total horseshit because the Arak events happened parallel to the iron horde bullshit, not directly related to them. In some cases being triggered a millenia before the orcs even mattered.
They just want to wipe their hands of the whole alternate dimension failtrain.
They also can't touch moral gray areas because the fans lack the mental capacity to understand it.

>finally illustrates that light isn't always good
Wow, what a new and fresh development
>>333922062
Mograine did literally nothing wrong though
>>333922328
besides killing his own father after being corrupted like a lil' bitch by a dreadlord?
>>333922062
Just post Garrosh next time
>>333922382
corruption by memelords doesnt count, that happens at the writers convenience.
>>333922445
it counts, and mograine got rightfully bitchslapped for it
>>333922062
Except never has Blizzard really had major lore themes where shadow users weren't just bad people. It was literally a battle of good dark magic users versus bad light magic users. This wasn't just a case of some Light users purging other Light users. Fuck's sake, one of the bosses is even what I guess could be their "god of light".
>wow
>>333922509
nigga they even have death knights as good people
the fuck are you smoking

WoW has fantastic lore.
Just not the generic frontloaded garbage meant for furryphobic memeparroting edgelords.

When I say "dark" magic, I mean dark. Literally. Shadow magic, not death magic.
Most shadow magic seems to get represented as association with warlocks. Which is why it's so refreshing, because it's true dark magic, as well as a flip of morals.
Shadow magic gets little love. Shadowmancers are even a thing and yet we only get to play as warlocks to use shadow magic. And thus it gets lumped with goddamn fel magic.

Are you trying to talk shit on my Panda lore? Niggas literally more boss than any other race in Azeroth.

What are shadow priests anon
>>333922808
>furryphobic
Playable arakkoa when?
>>333922958
Maybe on Azeroth, but the Arakkoa have to take the cake as best race in WoW lore.
Also, those lady pandas make my testicles tingle. I'm not a furry, so this alarms me.

It's true. Whatever gets userfaced to normies inevitably becomes shit so it can be dumbed down for them.
>>333923073
When ogres are a thing, too.
Which is never.
>>333923285
Considering the crazy detail in the fallen and risen models, seems a shame to just let them rot
>>333923321
>ogres
Ogres are always a thing, they seem to be fucking everywhere
