IDK what this story is anymore, it’s embarrassing to be a Horde player. Red team doesn’t deserve to exist at this point. The only reason it will survive is for gameplay. There is not a single reason the Alliance would allow the Horde to continue existing, and there’s no solid justification for why it could stand on it’s own anymore. The constant betrayals by it’s leadership, the infighting that is never taken advantage of by outside factors beyond old gods etc.
Red team being constantly used by blue team to fight itself but for some reason the blue gamer’s never capitalise on this beyond wanting to save the ‘real’ Horde? Why do they want to save the Horde wtf is going on? Why do you want to save an antagonist faction that is constantly trying to genocide them since the First War?
Anduin wanting to preserve / hold up a dead nation for no real reason is already bad enough, but now Jaina flip-flopping from dismantling the Horde, kill the Horde and now restore the Horde? Why?
Why will Zandalari players in anyway tolerate working with Jaina to free Baine after she and the Alliance slaughtered their king, the guy against joining the Horde?
Why does the Horde player want to serve this faction after it’s potential second big civil war? What’s even going to be left? The old nostalgia of Thrall’s Horde is dead and buried, it’s too tainted now. One half of us are being (obviously) duped into helping old gods because we don’t want to betray our faction, and another is happy to destroy what’s left of the red team in a second civil war if that means they can get rid of characters they don’t like, hoping this time we can retcon all Horde story before the Cataclysm. Well, attempting too anyway, because we were unable to do that with Vol’jin’s civil war.
Of course while this is all happening we’ll be hoping the Alliance doesn’t once again capitalise on this and dismantle red team like like they threatened to in MoP, because they have the justification to do it now. But I think we know they won’t, due to gameplay, and it will have to be awkwardly explained why they’re going back on their threats; which undermines them, and won’t be explained or developed further.
All we’ve been shown so far is the Horde is unstable, it is prone to corruption and infighting and it’s races can’t get along. Oaths are worthless and a individuals undefined, convoluted sense of moral honour often conflicts with others in the faction, embroiling everyone into a unstable crisis while their leaders score brownie points with the enemy hoping they’ll deal with their problems for them.
All I can say is I’m glad my sub is running out in twenty days.
