The Helghast didnt fuck thier own planet. It was completly destroyed by the ISA, giving them a section of Vekta was the least they could do, especially since Vekta was stolen from the Helghast in the first place which is why they are salty at all.

Introduces the races in a manner both warcraft fans and new players can appreciate.
Addresses the current conflicts in a short, but spectacular manner.
The music.
The fucking ground just decays at the feet of an undead warlock.
Mage fighting an infernal on top of a large building.
Druid turns into a fucking cat right in front of your eyes mid jump.
Hunter has a fucking bear as a pet.
Orc warrior going fucking crazy.

>Wrath Cinematic
Once again is entirely relevant to the plot.
Great music.
Frostmourne.
Giant ass frostwyrm.
Army of undead.
Players know exactly what they're in for with this expansion.

>MoP Cinematic
Big ass boats fighting.
Epic 1v1 fight.
Fight is interrupted by fucking Jack Black Kung Fu Panda level bullshit.
Cuts to a great looking world, but chinese inspired and not fucking warcraft.
This cinematic let you know what you were in for, Pandas and neo-blizzard fucking everything again.

Alexander was the IG commander portrayed in the intro.

Furthermore, people were pissed that some ass-backwards planet of otherwise little importance was capable of producing 100 Baneblades on a short notice. If they were really capable of doing that, the Imperium and the Mechanicum would never, ever let SoB/SM touch those facilities, at least not without crushing amounts of heresy evidence.

If it had been recently rediscovered (as in, existing before the Imperium) AND was capable of producing then it must've had pre-Imperium grade technology (a.k.a. Dark Age of Technology), making it INSANELY valuable to Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperium at large, in which case considerable effort would've been made to safeguard the world.

SM/SoB would've been relocated from the planet or at the very least told to stay the fuck away and purge all the other enemies and a very large, very sophisticated force would be sent from either IG/AM or both factions together.

Why are you posting the three best trailers?

Why not post the Shitty and wrong Cata trailer? Or the one showing off the one that lies and spits in our face with Warlords? Or the boringness of Burning Crusade? Or even Legions

These atleast delivered what they promised. A world to discover, A villain coming alive to threaten us all, and a New land we must learn from.

Maybe. The level of discovery of an artefact like this is tremendous and of the highest priority. They'd just keep trying and if anything happened to these forges, there'd be severe consequences to all parties involved.

I honestly don't know how exactly does a Warpstorm affect communication and travel, other than possibly making it impossible. It was a plot point in the first DoW, though how much of it was canon, I cannot tell./
