What do we get? HIm acting like a spoiled little kid in repeating conversations with Thrall and Vol'jin and some serious bs writing in that hack of an author Golden's book....wait, did you just seriously call Christie Golden a "hack"? You don't read many media tie-ins, do you?

Honestly, some people may buy into Metzens little "oh Garrosh is a plot device and we've got big things in store for Thrall" bullspunk but I don't. From the Echos of Doom patch and now into Cataclysm, Blizzard has been forcing Garrosh down our throat, trying to wash it down with promises of character development (promises from CM's of his development DURING Wrath, development that never happened). What do we get? HIm acting like a spoiled little kid in repeating conversations with Thrall and Vol'jin and some serious bs writing in that hack of an author Golden's book.
wow... just... wow...
I might have nerd rages about how I hate garrosh and varian.. but even I'm not THAT full of it like this post.
yeah, best not to take the bate.

Honestly, I consider media tie-ins hack territory, period. No, I do not read any.

The thread's been At War with the Wowhead faction since it's inception.

Not at all. She's a hack of a writer, her work is the equivalent to really well done fan fiction and fan fiction is garbage. I seriously thought it was Elaine Cunningham under a different pen name.
I'm sorry you're horrible at knowing whether a writer is good or not.
Seriously, ask anybody. I'm a critic. But I like Golden. Obviously she isn't on the level of Brandon Sanderson or Robert Jordan, but she's pretty good.

Don't respond to Rojo; the guy enjoys causing flames, look at any of his posts.

I know. But I like to go on the assumption that people aren't trolls until they prove to me specifically that I'm overwhelmingly wrong.

Even then, I've read Robert Jordan.
Y'know, I didn't hate WoT, but I wouldn't call it high lit.

Really? Did you read all of them? His writing is amazing, and keeping track of that many characters...

Heh, the writing isn't for everyone.

Heh, the writing isn't for everyone.You could say that about Tolkien as well... :P
You've stated how much you dislike him, but I'm reading the Quenta Silmarillion at the moment, and I'm astounded by how poignant and vast his lore is.

That's what I meant; no reason to jump down the throat of troll who is just trying to get a rise out of people; your just playing into his hands.
