Monks don’t draw power from wild gods tho

The other kick in the teeth was; when first showing the zandalari, they had warlock as a class, so we all thought they were getting them.
Nobody realised we wasn’t, so we didn’t get a chance to fight for them as we did paladin.
EDIT: It annoys me so much because I had a PLAN for a zanda lock, I had the gear, I had the weapon, I had the green fire tome (I was going to make them an IC Venomancer, using green fire to represent it)
And it just… went kaput infront of my eyes.

This. Zandalari drawing power from their Loa already existed, they are called priests. (And, in Rezan’s case, prelates).
monks don’t draw power from the celestials what
it’s all their inner chi — attacks and styles are only based on celestials
also there were 0 (pandaren-styled) monks in warcraft before MoP — saying there isn’t any of X race to be demon hunter doesn’t matter; blizz can just write “… and then the illidari taught loads of non-elves after argus” and it’s suddenly canon
Yea…
Sorry I forgot about that; that their styles were based on the Celestials, not their powers D:
Nah, there were a few.
The first are the night elves, humans and others who steadfastly guard the World Tree against future attacks. These demon hunters are some of the most experienced and powerful adventurers in the world, and rightly so; most of them either fought in the Battle of Hyjal in the Third War or otherwise have considerable experience tracking down and destroying demons.

Then in the Alliance Player’s Guide, Demon Hunter specifically had a Race: Any pre-requisite.

You heard it here first, Chieun wants to be a slaver.

So the people who wanted Dark Irons want to be slavers to?
*ahem typo because I didn’t write it down good D:
The slavery argument is weak, because we all know that they won’t practise slavery on screen as soon as they become playable races, and it’ll never be mentioned that they ever did.

The Devoted aren’t slavers, only the Faithless.

Nope, they managed to beat the Troll empires (all 4 of them) because of the Night Warriors fighting for the Kaldorei Empire.
Get your lore straight, yo!
This one because the majority of allied races should’ve been custamisation options.
But as said before, Blizzard never really focused on more then three races anyway, so what I want and what I would get are in conflict.
Except the orcs practiced and practise slavery on screen. That said the slavery argument has always been weak.
Not really something unique to them, mind you.

Fictional fantasy races are allowed to be evil, even if we’re playing them.
I personally feel like Blizzard shouldn’t downplay the role of slavery in Dark Iron society as they do. Give the Alliance something unambiguously nefarious.
Oh agreed, but it was in response too Taxania saying they won’t practise it on screen.
First they gave us the worgen as a #savage race, but they where nothing but furred humans.
Then they gave us the void elves as a #savage race, but they where nothing but purple high elves.
Then they gave us the Kul Tirans as a #savage race, but they too, where just tall humans.
Then they gave us Dark Irons as a #savage race, but they where but dark skinned dwarves.
Can’t have evil races under Light’s Chosen high king Manduin.

Obviously not. The Internment Camp was a form of “slavery”, even if the intention was good, the execution was… Lacking, due to the people running the camps, not the general Human population or the King, mind.
That being said; I still think all those darker stuff in lore(Darkspear Cannibalism, Dark Iron Slavery, Worgen rage, etc) should never have been downplayed or removed at any rate. Atleast it made the races, really, really different and it would’ve forced the “better” races like Tauren and Night Elves to deal with said “darker” parts of their allies
