I'm desperately searching in this story for a nugget that resembles the mark of a professional writer, but all I find is absolute rubbish that could be written by a school kid for a story assignment.
But then that is the hallmark of most WoW "lore" (
story
, as most games call it). Add some aliens, make church bearing knights evil, include plenty of dragons and throw in a Patois speaking race for good measure.

Why do the pair of you always have to throw some half baked retort against anyone that happens to shows distain for whats happening in a game they clearly enjoyed. Leave people to say what they want, unless its breaks forum rules.
You don't like whats said, don't post.

Intresting. And.. ha, really shows up just that kind of badly designed character Garrosh is.
So we now know Thrall intends to deal with this problem but only leaves Garrosh to hold the fort, much like Bolvar did for Varian. However, Garrosh being Garrosh, took that as Thrall telling him he's the warchief now and nobodys below him.
So, seems either Garrosh's character is just one of multiple personailities, humble one moment, war hungry and demented the next, or he was fooling people into believeing he was humbled by Thralls request.
So, what we see here is Garrosh one minute pretending to be humble and respectful to Thralls choice, despite him bad mouthing Thrall at every other minute in northrend. Then, once Thralls gone, Garrosh then starts passing judgement on who he sees as weak in the horde, and setting about the course of war, which all the other smart leaders, AND from the newest video overview, all those orcs loyal to Thrall in and around orgrimmar, see for what it is.

There isn't any question of it now, Well Thrall kept the horde together on both fronts, Garrosh has effectivly made a rift, because amazingly, not every orc wants to go to war anymore, those loyal to Thrall.
So this really proves a post I made before
Thralls horde
Garrosh's horde

And, 2) at least there is writing! Through the past 3 content worlds of WoW (Vanilla, BC, WotLK) there hasnt been too much Horde evolution. The writing may seem bad. Most of us hate our new leader. Everyone's very happy being unhappy. But how cool is it that there's suddenly so much evolution! The more they write, the better they have to get! (Right?) Which means that that from now on, there should be continued evolution at increasing rates!
How happy are you gonna be if Thrall comes back? Well... He's gotta leave in order to come back! :)
Honestly the Cata writing is much, MUCH better than WotLK's inconsistent writing, so yeah, they're getting better at writing Garrosh at least.
I agree with this. It's better writing than we had in WotLK and Cata's storylines (plural since there is basically one for each zone...) are brilliant IMO. (then again I like Garrosh, Baine and most of the other "new" characters though)
Also, noticed yesterday that there are a couple of quests which feel like a little reference to the whole "team Thrall, team Garrosh" deal going on at the forums. Two quest givers, one farseer who tells you stories and such and one warrior who sends you to kill things. They refer to each other as "That Hellscream-worshipping enforcer" and "That Thrall-loving farseer". :-p

I gotta say I'm getting a level of satisfaction in seeing the split in this argument now. A lot of garrosh fans assumed all the horde would back Garrosh and Thralls leadership was for nothing. Turns out thats not even close, the horde is now split with those loyal to Thrall and unwanting what Garrosh does, and those orcs wanting to go to war so they follow him.
Still, whats been shown here, is that Thrall didn't make him anything more then a temp warchief well he attends to the elemental problems.
Its funny how people still believe Garroshis developing into something here. All he's really developing into is even more of an asshat then he was in northrend. 'Hero of northrend'? lol, he didn't do anything, but it makes his fanboys think he did.
Plus, again, his personaility issues of one minute saying he's humbled, then once Thralls gone, he goes into bloodlust mode and wants to kill anything opposed to him. He wasn't humbled, he just said it to make Thrall think he was, in truth, he wanted Thrall gone to take power, so he said that just to make him think his choice was right.

You realize that by that logic, Thrall has done one major thing (retaking of Undercity) in the entire game and Cairne is the biggest deadbeat ever... And Vol'jin has pretty much only done the brewfest introduction up until the recent Echo Isles event.
Why would you be a fanboy just because you like a "new" character? I like Thrall and the rest of them too... Just because I like the "chaotic" path the story is taking (goes perfect with Cataclysm's theme IMO) doesn't make me a fanboy.

What makes you a fanboy is protesting against anything spoken against said character out of believeing it to be wrong, even when facts are proven or a better argument is made to counter it . I confess to being a fanboy for that same reason.
When you go out of your way to tell people there wrong for calling Garrosh a poorly written character, that makes you a fan.
