in Borean a converastion between the Draenei and the keep leader he says how he has to keep them segregated b/c the men would be scared by the more exotic allies
More than scared I suppose humans don't trust so much their new non-human allies too much (Night elves and Draenei).

For Draenei military command, there really doesn't seem any central Commander. We could use one of the commanders at Blood Watch, or a totally new character?
Vindicator Kuros can BE the military. Come on, his
Hammer of Vindication
will one-shot everyone.
Seriously though, I would prefer the Triumvirate over any new characters. I'd like to see their history fleshed out (were they always the tirumvirate, or were they appointed that to lead the fight against the blood elves, etc.).

(Okay: I hate quote pyramids, but this one seems a bit necessary.)

On the other, there's some guy in Cata griping about how worgen were getting added to the mix just as he was getting used to draenei.

It was originally Aesom, Boros, and a guy named Saruan (who was taken prisoner by the blood elves and had bad things happen to him). Kuros was Saruan's squire.

Yeah, I knew that, and was very disappointed when i didn't see a mutant draenei running around the Vector Coil. :(
It would be cool though to see the triumvirate somewhere else, like maybe Ashenvale working with the night elves to beat back the Horde or even in Hyjal.

Oh man, when I was in the keep and listened to their conversation, I actually got mad. Sure, they're "exotic" and such, and I can see why they wouldn't trust them since the humans have been beaten by "exotic" races (orcs), but how many years has it been since TBC? Not to mention they share their faith in the Light. The draenei should be a LOT more relatable than the night elves (which is kinda funny, considering they're from a different world).
I was also pleasantly surprised to see Legoso in Wintergrasp. Looks like they trust the draenei a little bit, as they're allowing one to use explosives. :P

Now that I think about it, it's kind of odd that they made a big deal about the Draenei getting mutated during the interrogation, then we never actually see any evidence of him or even try to look for him. You'd think the Draenei would try to purify him at first, and failing that put him out of his misery.
I'm sure such a quest was in an earlier draft of the zone, but for some reason they never dropped the dialog referring to him after they decided not to go forward with the plot point.
As for the Draenei in general, their presence seems to be similar that that in WotLK, if amped up a tad. They race's story isn't going very far from where it already is, but individual Draenei are out and about and making an impact. I've already seen Draenei as part of the Earthen Ring, Argent Crusade, and in new Alliance areas. However in only one case have I seen the Draenei race's story evolve, and that is where they are forming a close bond with the High Elves and Wildhammer in the Hinterlands.

Yeah, this is what I would like to see changed. The Draenei leaders have done little but sit on their tails since BC

This seems good, although from what I've seen/heard, it's a minor detail. Only about 4-5 named NPC's in this zone, with only a couple of quests. Granted that's better than nothing...but still.

Nonetheless, I
wanted
that quest. When Sironas
didn't
summon a level-20 elite wrathguard named "Saruan" (with the title <Fallen Vindicator> or something) at half health, I was disappointed.

every
race go out and make an impact. And as Alliari put it, the draenei were sitting on their tails in Wrath. (I'm not sure whether to be amused, gratified, or both that that phrase is beginning to spread...or chagrined by the fact that it's
apt
enough that it's beginning to spread)

I'd love to see some practicality to The Exodar. Stormwind is getting an obvious boost, Ironforge might have something tied to it (most likely, it's just we don't know exactly what yet), Darnassus is receiving the Worgen district....what's there for The Exodar? I personally think that jewelcrafting daily quest giver should be located in The Exodar.

Welcome to Outland! players population: 3 (little jimmy, his sister, and his grandmother)
Grandma has a heart condition and Little Jimmy's sister is suicidal and Jimmy is almost level 68, so there may be none left eventually.

Hello Velen.
Maybe all hope isn't lost for him...Looks like they're using the images from the mosaic/wallpaper, for the most part. (Unfortunately, that means smoothfase!Velen.)
I am gratified by the fact that Squealy McSquealypants still looks like an oaf.

I think they should update all the leaders models. Look at Varian's, Garrosh's, and Jaina's model.....they look great!
Velen isn't the only one who needs a model update. Tyrnade and Lor'whatshisname especially.

Velen's model is just fine, as far as I'm concerned. It's just that the "smoothfase" (no tendrils) look from the mosaic bugs me.
Tyrande and Lor'themar have needed new models for
quite
a while now. And I'm a bit disappointed that Baine's new model seems to just be "up-scaled generic tauren."

Velen already has a "unique" one though, unlike the other ones you mentioned. And Lor'themar already got his update. (new armor and voice) ;-)

I still think that the leaders should be more...polished...such as Jaina and Varian.

There was an update on the Oboards about the draenei and belves starting zones and it's not good news.
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=26398980081&sid=1&pageNo=1#17
Q u o t e:
You guys planning on letting people fly in newer zones around azeroth? Like, the BE starting zones, the isle of quel'danas, and the draenei starting zones?
Not currently. Due to how infrequent visits to these areas are by players with Expert Riding or above, we still plan to restrict the use of flying mounts in TBC-specific starting zones (Eversong Woods, Ghostlands, Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, etc).
