This honestly really sucks. The Scourge has such cool and icon models (yes, even if they're a bit crusty in Anno 2026) and replacing them all with Generic_Runescape_Undead_Maldraxxi.png is honestly such a soulless decision. Most of them got updated models in Legion, why not use those?

A raid boss that, I should add, is a living battery of Cosmic Void being tortured by Xal'atath so:

He serves Dimensius
We free him
Xal captures him in the DH
Xal lets him out (this cinematic)
He fights her
Then joins her
Then betrays her instantly and becomes a raid boss battery

What's goin on?

the Voidstorm zone. They're *not* united in Voidstorm. In fact if anything most of them are united AGAINST Xal'atath in Voidstorm. Salhadaar is also captured in the DH, then let out(?) to fight Xal'atath, then she recruits him and then we don't see him again until he's a raid boss in Voidspire? What

Like I said to Sixtus awhile ago, I think once upon a time there was a valid argument for public/organic RP when the sense of a "server community" still existed.

That argument is 10 years buried and is a skeleton at this point.

Forsaken in Tranquillien but well... a lot of people there are already dead by the end of the Eversong questline so... 3/6 Alliance Allied Race Leaders are also there too. The Horde's AR Leaders? Nowhere to be seen. Only Thalyssra, and she's been put AFK in a floating tower lmfao.

Its frankly insane when you consider almost the entire Alliance's Faction Leaders are here directly helping by commanding armies, defending the Sunwell or doing Misc. Things. Allied Race and Minor Leaders too.

The Horde? No Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, Goblins, Pandaren or Forsaken. A few retired--

I am getting this impression all over the game lately, honestly. Everywhere is this pervasive sense that a crew has co-opted the game and its races and aesthetics and have supplanted it all with their OCs. Void Elves to start, dracthyr, haranir, all of Shadowlands. Identity subversion everywhere.

Questing is in a very poor state as well. Arator's Main Campaign, if you remove 'go to x zone' quests, is only around like 17 or so quests in total. 17 for an entire campaign. New Eversong/Ghostlands is also very short if you only include quests of actual substances, sitting around 20-21.

You would think Lor'themar/Haludron/Rommath do something at least right? In THEIR kingdom? Nope, nothing. Glorified holograms for 98% of the expansion thus far. You're out in the field with Turalyon, Alleria, and Arator mostly. Shit's *wild*.

"6/7 Main Horde Leaders are not there and have not sent any sort of help. 4 Main Alliance Leaders are directly involved in the defence of Quel’Thalas however. 3/6 Alliance Allied Race Leaders are present directly and 1/6 Horde Allied Race Leaders are directly present."

In fact, and you're free to boost this one out there, I did some math on this recently quoting directly from my forum post:

"I would say around 80-85%~ atm with Main Alliance Characters."

Shit's absolutely wild and has no sign of stopping thus far which is at the very least deeply concerning if not straight up a red-flag. TLT-Onwards is probably just gonna combine every1 into the happy-comfy-friendship faction.

Average Player isn't ready for just how irrelevant and non-existent the Horde is in Midnight lol. I've been on Beta for a long time, Horde has 0% relevance to anything. Major and Minor Ally chars everywhere, 0x major or minor horde chars doing anything to help Silvermoon or even present lmfao.

the passive radiation from the NEWLY-BROUGHT Fel Crystals are ALREADY killing and corrupting the ecosystem and the life within Quel'Thalas. It is logistically impossible to maintain that and doing so in the name of "the vibes" is the exact thing ppl often bitch at Blizzard for doing.

Are people doing the "uhm guys Belves LOVED the Fel" meme again? Reset the counter Iszy. This myth is never going to go away at this point, literally nobody reading the Eversong Quest Texts at all.

It might've been cool, but its irrational to keep it when the quest text spells out to you that even

In current WoW you can very easily get a heroic-raid ready character in like a week of doing a few M+s per day.

This endeavor thing seems hella random by comparison. Some ppl with massive groups struggling to even get Tier 1, some ppl with 5+ consistent ppl in a group already at Tier 3.

😩

"Housing will be casual and relaxing" and then a month later Blizzard adds a Rep you need to grind to Tier 4 within a 30 Day Limit with the most mind-numbing tasks, Diminishing Returns, Capped XP for repeat contribution.

This shit is more grindy than any Mythic-Raid or M+ could ever hope to be man
