No one would!
But would they be hostile to us? THey have no love or loyalty to the Old Gods either, after all.
why would you want to hang out with a bunch of spider plagiarists who stole all their construction ideas from maldraxxus

Maldraxxus stole from Azjol-Nerub, clearly.
Their master warrior with the skills of a spy went on a mission outside of time to Azjol-Nerub, liked the architecture and introduced it to Maldraxxus (because the Shadowlands crosses time, dimensions and space).
Because I always found Anubarak as one of the best characters and Ahn Kahet with that small version of Azjol Nerub dungeons to have a real cool theme/atmosphere
Bi-yearly reminder that instead of Azjol Nerub having a spider themed ziggurat/pyramid thing going because they’re an ancient race of spider people Blizzard changed it so that Azjol Nerub had a spider themed ziggurat/pyramid thing going because they saw it through visions of Maldraxxus, which is a giant festering hellhole filled with a lot of corpse grafting and gladiatorial combat and very little Old God or spider worship yet this influenced their entire culture down to how they dressed themselves.
This then means when the Scourge based their designs on Nerubian architecture it was just a happy coincidence that it looked just like Maldraxxian architecture from which the Scourge’s magic was born originally and not at all because Steve Danuser is a hack fraud.

How about we all just agree that Shadowlands never happened.
Even if Blizzard tries to shove it down our throats?
In case anyone was wondering.

i hate the design of teldrassil in game. it’s just a tree trunk with some land on top and it looks dumb. the artwork is considerably cooler and i hope they one day do something with nordrassil

I know it was done in like 2005, but I never really liked how much of WoW’s old zones/world was so…shortcut.
Alot of buildings/terrain either being like Teldrassil and just a trunk, or just a single wall with no backwalls or roof. Many things without ceiling/roofs.
And so much of that was unchanged even now. At best they slapped on a cheap rooftop.
It was a massive mmo and during that time i think they did an excellent job
though it is 2022 now so it can feel outdated yeah. But then again I still very much enjoy for example what LOTRO looks like

Honestly, I really like Lotro. Even before the graphic update it had that…serene feel to it. Even on low/bad graphics they captured the asthetics of Middle-Earth really well and it felt/feel relaxing & like an adventure to quest through a zone.

I am 90% certain they increased the draw distance in Legion, not Cataclysm.
isn’t it weird that it took them so long between BfA and 10.0 and also that they never did a 9.0 expansion? So weird

teldrassil was done well for its time and i’m seriously expecting a nordrassil revamp to be more to the likes of the sylvan city from homm5, to the point where i’m fairly sure people on pepsi have already made those cities anyway
the ‘wah wah wah too much work’ is just a weird excuse from blizz really
all this crying about unions making ur workers lazy when you’ve been like this since vanilla bruh

They’ll add more layers and platforms to The Heart of the Forest tree from Ardenweald and make that Nordrassil.

To be fair, I really like the Heart of the Forest from Ardenwaeld… I mean the Emerald Dream. It won’t be a good capital city, tho.
If it was to replace Nordrassil, you’d have buildings around it too, amongst the roots and around the water.
