I’m firmly in the “Eredar shouldn’t be in the Alliance” camp actually. It won’t be good for the RP Community, it won’t be good for the faction and it won’t be good for the setting and lore.
Only ones who will benefit from this are the Second Life RPers and the ones gooning in garrisons and Goldshire.
There’s a stark difference between roleplayers doing some weird stuff you can easily block out of your mind and the actual official setting itself going “yeah actually this is awesome”.
Hey, no disagreement here.
I kinda lost faith around the time the devs went “Hey, this totally isn’t the MoP story arc again!” while doing the MoP story arc again, only worse, and then slapping multiple Main NPC characters with the Idiot, Villain or other miscellaneous bats.
Going “Oh hey, have Eredar customisation options now!” is even worse, lore wise, than the utter cluster of a non-explanation they had for the Night Warrior eyes, because we know the Legion have been a Universe Ending Threat for thousands of years, but… uh… uhhhhh Reasons, hey look over there something new and shiny!
There has never been a forgiving Man’ari NPC in this game’s history except Kil’Jaeden at the end maybe admitting Sargeras could’ve been stopped but even that was just him realising he wasn’t as overpowered as he thought he was. Hell, not even Velen’s son is remotely apologetic. So this just looks utterly ridiculous.
Now, if there was CREDENCE for it, a SINGULAR NPC, people might be more forgiving of a group who decided to join this NPC post-Sargeras’ fall, but this has never even once been shown to be the case. Keeping in mind the Illidari Demons don’t count because Illidan did some magic deus ex machina to cure them of their addictions and afflictions and they swore allegiance to him for that.
