My concerns about the changes to Orgrimmar

From what I'm reading and If I'm understanding this correctly. Garrosh will be the new leader of the horde and all non orc and trolls will not be allowed in Ogrimmar. Is this correct? Does this also apply to people that are currently exalted with orgrimmar or earned the "of ogrimmar" title?
I've searched and searched for this and maybe its just right under my nose but I haven't seen this question asked or answered on the official forums anywhere. I wouldn't see what the point would be of being of making changes like this. Surely blizzard has atleast thought about those who are exalted.
I'm going to keep searching as I guess all i would get would be speculation otherwise unless I'm completely misunderstanding the orgrimmar changes.

There will be no Blood Elf, Undead, Troll or Goblin NPC's in the center area of Orgrimmar; outside of that, they will still be around. There will be Tauren and Orcs thought, the 'strong' races, in the eyes of Garrosh.

Thanks for clearing that portion up. Blizzard has done
some
alot stupid things in the past and I was a bit worried when I first read this.

Where are these Orgrimmar changes you speak of?
After Garrosh becomes the Warchief of the Horde, they're restyling Orgrimmar and reinforcing it with metal, much like the Horde bases in Northrend. There's also going to be the connection to the goblin area in Azshara.

That sounds nice, though. I love the layout of Warsong Hold. I've always thought Orgrimmar could be much bigger.
Does anyone have a link to these changes?
I don't think the actual layout will be changed much (though I kinda hope so, I absolutely HATE Org as it is, way too hard/confusing to get around), they'll just be changing the buildings, walls, and front gate. Plus they'll be adding the goblin area, much like how SW is getting a Worgen District.

You are misunderstanding them. It's only NPCs, not players. Come on, Blizz isn't stupid.
I mean come on, Not for nothing... that wouldnt be a bad idea. Since Garrosh isnt the most cared for NPC in the game, to push away non Orc and Troll players from Ogrimmar untill Exaulted doesnt seem so bad. Seems like it be a fun task haha.

It's Tauren, not troll.

I thought Trolls were part of it too? Maybe I misread, but I would think that Trolls would be allowed in Orgrimmar. They were part of Thrall's Horde even before the Tauren and they haven't done anything that I can think of that would make Garrosh kick them out (well, granted, Trolls never do much in general, but still..)

Nope, it's all non-orcs and tauren NPCs ejected from Orgrimmar's center. It's about what Garrosh sees as strength.

I'd heard this and thought it was
all
non-orc NPCs being ejected. With the fact that Tauren are being allowed to remain (whatever the reason), then maybe we'll see Garrosh start to gradually let the others back in once he starts to see what they can do.

it is also very likely that the racial ban is not the end of the storyline.
i wonder why everyone is asking FO REAL! and no one tries to predict what comes next.
my opinion on the subject, something horrible will happen to garrosh. i mean blizz did not make the son of grom the warchief for no reason. all this hate towards his ascension when he has not really proven himself, i think the reaction among the playerbase was well intended. the only real question is: what will happen to garrosh and his plans?
yeah, or.. blizzard just wanted to ster up some crap with the horde to cause tension and have players hooked for a longer period for what would happen.

One name springs to mind there, Magatha grimtotem. Someone hinted the tauren in orgrimmar would be grimtotem tauren.

That's not good...but it would explain why Garrosh kills Cairne.

Broken rumor, same as Thrall guardian thing.

check the cataclysm trailer, at the very beggining, it depicts orgrimmar, and it's frontal gates and towers have been reinforced with a black metal.
as for the expelling the weaker races......... I don't know what to say.
I dislike it, but I can't recall if that's confirmed or not.
Garrosh as warchief is already confirmed, sadly that bit WILL happen no matter what, but him getting the weaker races expelled (i think) is not confirmed.
also Cairne getting killed NOT confirmed, it is confirmed that he's not gonna be leading the tauren in cata, his son will, but what actually happens to him is as of yet not known, maybe he goes with thrall to help him out, or he dies, or something entirely diferent, no reliable info has been provided about this.
Garrosh executing cairne for treason NOT confirmed, as stated above, no info regarding cairne's fate has been revealed, only a concept art drawn by some blizz artist depicting thrall and cairne saving horde children from the chaos has been shown, but that image isn't suficient info on to what is gonna happen to good'ol cairne.
Magtha grimtotem playing some strings in the dark........ NOT confirmed, no mention of magtha at all anywhere, all info regarding her are pure rumors, with no solid base.
Garrosh taking full advantage of his position as Warchief to declare a full-blown war gladly accepting varian's declaration of
love
war, confirmed, the alliance loses several (6 if I'm not mistaken) bases to the horde due to garrosh unleashing the full power of the horde upon the alliance.
Garrosh remaining in power permanently: NOT confirmed, at all, nor is it confirmed HOW does he gets the title of warchief, does thrall apoints him steward of the horde temporarily? garrosh stages a coup' against thrall? the rest of the horde demands that garrosh leads them? garrosh challenges thrall to another mak'gora and wins? these and many more questions remain unanswered. all we know is that he's a warchief, we don't know if he's gonna remain there, nor if he's gonna do a good job as chief (of course your mileage of "good job" may vary)
Thrall getting killed or turned to guardian: NOT confirmed on the death part, CONFIRMED to NOT be guardian. the comics allready set med'an as the new guardian, anything else that happens to thrall remains undisclosed.
now please, unless you have a blue-post link, STOP with the damn rumors.
jeez, I swear to god, this forum starts to sound like when my mother-in-law and her friends gather to play poker............. all those old hags do nothing but spread gossip rumors and backtalk that has NONE of solid base or proof.
(@Tauren: that ASCII aparently is forbidden on the forums dude, queggy deleted mine, I advise you do the same to yours.)
