The State of Horde RP

[Demoniaco-argent-dawn]

As I mentioned in other thread,

• Writes them to be such hopeless villains to the point that even when they’re attacked due to a misdirection conjured by demons to cause conflict during a demon invasion, they’re still very justifiably the villains.
• Kills, discards, or turns the faction leaders of every core race bar two and leaves them with little lore or no lore to work with after major developments, replacing it with a council of leaders of which we don’t even know half of the names from - as in, literally, they’re off-screen and never mentioned.
• Kill off the narrative for which every single attractive thing about the faction was sacrificed in a four quest-long questline in a hotfix patch.
• Instead of using these minuscule lore updates to actually update these races’ lore, start using them to develop factions that were supposedly annihilated to the last person several expansions prior, as well as how cool every other faction is compared to them.
• Leave every Horde city outdated since Cataclysm or even prior, despite the fact that the Horde capital is so unfathomably tiny that they had to start removing things to replace them with new features. (See: The Embassy being slapped atop the Goblin section.)
• Ignore them to such a genuinely embarrassing degree that Dracthyr flying around has Orgrimmar Grunts comment on when Deathwing and Onyxia was in the city when they’re in a city that very much did not suffer a visit from neither.

I think that a lack of conflict between the playable factions isn’t really what’s hurting Horde lore the most. If anything, the utterly butchered state they’ve left the entire setting since the end of Legion can be seen throughout every avenue the writers have touched ever since.

It just so happens that the Horde has been a topic they’ve touched up on quite a bit, then discarded like an used tissue and without warning in 8.2.5, leaving us in a cliffhanger on what the state of several major factions of the Horde are, with some lasting for over two years, and some others lasting to this very day (as of time of writing).
