Looks like they ignored Draenei

You realize you can stop responding at any point right? Your the one keeping it going, not Farseer.If he didn't learn on his first five or six sock-puppets, he's not going to learn now. (Bet he keeps it up...)
This thread is now about providing a flight path of some sort between the Draenei starting zones and the mainland.
Go!Exodar to Lor'danel.
They won't, mainly because of the loading thing; it makes more sense with Plaguelands to Ghostland, as there is an actual 'portal' there, but the sea thing would make it harder.Not necessarily. They could just have you go through a load screen after a certain point.

oh well, we have flying mounts in kalimdor and eastern kingdoms in cataclysm so we can just fly their :D.
Uh... No; different servers and all that, you'll just fly into the fatigue zone and die.They won't, mainly because of the loading thing; it makes more sense with Plaguelands to Ghostland, as there is an actual 'portal' there, but the sea thing would make it harder.Not necessarily.

Possible, but not likely heh.

I could see it being a problem for flying mounts in general, but I'd think a fixed flight path could just have a set point where it loads between Kalimdor and the Draenei zones. That's essentially what the portal is anyway, just with a pretty swirly graphic. It would be the same as the boats, they have a set point in their course where they load into the new continent, but if you swim out there you don't (and fatigue and die).
It's overdue. I don't even really play Alliance and I know it's overdue.

It is and it isn't; would be nice for convenience sake, but I don't mind the boats; we use them anyways to get from Kalimdor to Eastern kingdoms heh.

that
coming a mile off.
Go ahead and
call
it "paranoia" on my part, if that's what it takes to make you feel better about yourself. However, here's a little tip: You may
think
you're sneaky...but the fact of it is, you're predictable as hell.Possible, but not likely heh.Let me put it this way, then: If they don't, they're not even hiding the fact that they're treating draenei like a failed experiment.

I wouldn't say that heh; is it really a big deal if they don't have a direct flight point?

Yes.
Ok no, but the boat is a a bit of a hassle, especially if you just miss it. Of course we're all going to have to wait and see, since all the boats are kidding changed anyway now that Auberdine done got itself all broken.

Agreed there... can't count the number of times I've run up just as the boat pulled away. They should give us an NPC to talk to make the boat spawn.

I always wanted a /holdtheboat emote that made it wait for you.

I wouldn't say that heh; is it really a big deal if they don't have a direct flight point?Well, let's see:
Played second fiddle to the blood elves in BC.
No flight path from their capital to the mainland. Blood elves had one
added
.
Sat on their tails throughout Wrath, despite the fact that there were several opportunities to work them in.
No new class, despite a function gap. Excuses were made.
Forest Song appears unchanged. On the one hand, that means it hasn't been wiped out (yet). On the other, that means it hasn't been fortified (yet), which would seem rather necessary with the Horde gaining an upper hand in Ashenvale.
Possible developments in Cataclysm:
One
building at the Harborage, possible shaman shrine in Stormwind (although said shrine currently looks more Twilight's Hammer). Blood elves, by contrast, get at least one base.
No word whatsoever on Azuremyst/Bloodmyst; admittedly, no word on Eversong/Ghostlands, either.
Considering the screeching of the aforementioned vocal minority—and the fact that no serious move has been made to explain off the retcon, and thus quiet said complaints—I'm not very optimistic.

And I get that Farseer, I'm a fan of the Hooved people too after all, I'm hoping we'll see a bigger presence, but for now we do have to wait to see what happens.

do
with one of my two favorite races. Know what I mean?

Aye, I do lol; it does seem strange though, they add in the two races... and did nothing with them; even in Cata, the only released thing on the Blood Elves is that they are getting the Warrior class, beyond that... not much.

They're also confirmed to get a base at Uldum. I don't think there's much of an issue with blood elves being integrated into the story; and most of the complaints one hears about them are strictly aesthetic.
That said,
some
sort of progression in Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands could be nice—even if I never intend to play through there again.

Alpha alpha is alpha.
If Forest Song makes it to Public Beta untouched, then you can start ranting at Blizzard.Overused meme is overused. And you do know that "it's the alpha!" only goes
so
far as an excuse...right?

Yeah... I'd like to go back to fighting the Legion at some point. We still need to kill Kil'Jaeden, do we not?Indeed. All we did was kick him back into the Twisting Nether hard enough to knock his necklace off.
Remembering that the KJ and the Legion are still out there helps me sleep soundly at night.
We'll have our moment. I hope.Maybe. If Blizzard is
not
, in fact, listening to the "rashers."

The real reason Draenei cannot be druids is because your head would explode from the sight a cat with tentacles on its chin.Maybe
yours
would. Mine certainly isn't that flimsy.
I really do think that Blizzard is treating them as the redheaded stepchild, almost as if they were a last minute race because they couldn't think of anything else for the Alliance. I also think they took a back seat in their own expansion to the glorious Blood Elf master race.You know...you'd
almost
be funny if Blizzard hadn't been rubbing elves in our faces for too damn long.
