Troll druid makes sense to an extent. And I suppose if forsaken can have priests focused on light so can tauren. Paladin is also something useful. I like that humans can now be hunters. It felt so unnatural that they didn't.

blizzard is no fail. the fail in here is WoW. the reason to this is that they want to commercialize it more and more. they don't care about the lore they care about numbers big fat numbers whit a $ behind it. look at it like this. Bob my imaginary friend buys WoW + expansion packs. Bob totally loves Trolls but he also gets horny if he sees a druid. now we have a problem, a troll druid isn't possible. Solution! Bob send a fan mail to blizzard saying he loves the game but he hates the fact a troll druid isn't possible. Blizzard who sees the problem and wants to make more money fucks up the lore and commercializes WoW even some more. the end.

Its kinda... wrong. But it seems that they will explain it by adding Shatterspear tribe in the game. You know the one in the mountains of Darkshore. It seems that they will teach the rst of the trolls how to druid and highborne will explain to the rest of the night elves how to be mages.

Blizzard owns theyr lore. They have all thos rights and other shit. They can do what ever they want with it. I don't think blizzard ruined it that much. Dreney have crap history, they rewrote a lot about demons. BE allied horde. Well it makes sense they allied forsaken (Silvanass). But you can explain FO and BE allying the horde simply with a rule: Enemy of my enemy is my friend (or just ally here).

Everything else is pretty much OK.

As far as I can figure, you guys want that things remain like they were in War 1, 2 and 3. Rewriting the lore is bad, yes, but new things that come, well, its a must.

Let me fix something.

"Enemy that is my enemy of my enemy isn't my ally." Who do you think attacked Quel'thalas and human kingdoms before scourge? Orcs klled many humans which were resurected from their graves.

Also Muradin, Balnazzar, Mal ganis, Magtheridon being alive is ok? Destroyed Azeroth is great? War between Aliance and Horde when so many evil forces want to destroy Azeroth is ok? Night elves choosing Alliance who are ailed with outcast high elves is ok not to mention that night elves are friends of tauren and have same view of orcs and humans. Kael joining legion is ok? Brown orcs? (Is this enough or should I continue?)

I like that thos chars turn out alive. You get to kill em again (and I like Muradin). Ye sure. Azeroth destroyed is OK. I mean in War 3 whole north of eastern kingdom got destroyed. This is 4 times bigger. Horde vs Alli. Well whole Warcraft is based around they'r war.
Night elves joining alli is rewriting... kinda. Well, Keal got BE to drain demonic energies. Makes sense that he got corrupted. Complaining about brown orcs.... sure, go complain about black humans too...

So the fact they were killed doesn't mean anything to you? Like if Uther was alive it would be ok? Muradin was killed as a tribute so just because you like him doesn't mean that is ok.

And Warcraft 3 is based around peace between horde and Alliance and warcraft 1 was just Azeroth and orcs so only WArcraft 2 is with Alliance vs Horde.

Keal is changed dramaticly. From a prince who wants to save his people he turns to a bad guy just because he changed his power source? And the fact so many uses fel energies and are not with legion doesn't even count.

Orcs were in all warcraft games green which is their trade mark and turning them to shit color actually bugs me. They were protected with chicken pox for gods sake. And I am not Nazi to hate different people so don't insult me.

After warcraft 3 Eastern kingdoms actually existed as terrain just kingdom was destroyed which isn't same as the very planet. It is not bigger is total different thing.

There are four kinds of orcish skin - green, brown, red and gray. I think that green has already become a stereotipe of orcs, so brown orcs, or how VeljkoM calls them "shit orcs" are quite good. I mean at least its realistic, red and gray look just crazy!
