To Thrall, Garrosh was a logical choice for a replacement — he’s an orc of the old ways. He’s an orc from Draenor, and he’s an orc that has been living the path that Thrall has been trying to lead the orcs back to ever since the escape from the internment camps. Here is the problem: that path isn’t what Thrall thinks it is. Thrall escaped imprisonment and sought out others of his kind. He was presented with an idea of what the orcs used to be. It was an idealized, romanticized version of orcish society, and the truth is that the way of the orcs is far more raw and brutal than Thrall ever realized.
Think of it like this: Players that remember the vanilla version of World of Warcraft speak of it fondly. They wax on about how wonderful the game was, how perfect everything seemed to be, and how everything today pales in comparison. The truth is, vanilla was a good game, but it was also a game where players struggled to figure out poorly designed questing paths, flew all over the world and back again to complete said quests, and marveled at the inconvenience of not being able to ride a mount until level 40.
Thrall was listening to someone speak of orcish history in the way that new players listen to people speak of that holy mecca that was vanilla WoW. Yet were any new players today to go back and play that original version of the game, they would be frustrated beyond belief. Garrosh is a player from vanilla, ripped from that version of time and pulled into the current version of the game — and he doesn’t understand why we’re riding mounts way earlier than we should be. To Garrosh, level 40 is better, because it’s how it has always been.
"Tried to get my boyfriend to play WoW with me
He bitched about a bunch of these little things that have been made so much easier since vanilla
I have to wonder if he’s just impossible to please or if I’m a masochist
Perhaps if you did not immediately /ragequit, I could’ve given you the gear you wanted and explained my mistake.
Such an angry panda.
Since this hasn’t worked well in combating mass guild invites:
I’ve decided to get a little more creative:
I recently rolled a Nelf druid, and this moment made it totally worth it.
I love Malfurion’s look of vague embarrassment and his beard and his little paw feet
