Orcs have been the main focus for the past 2 expansions, and now it looks like a third. Trolls were never a main focus for an expansion.
Just because it's the main focus doesn't mean it's the majority of content. Let us not forget who became new Warchief also...

You said past 2. I was asking how Cataclysm was all about the orcs.
Blizzard making Garrosh to be a hardass warchief (except when he tossed that one dude off a cliff). Twilight Highlands. Thrall and Aggra.

Out of all of the Horde storyline advances, almost all of it was for orcs.

Alliance storyline? Dwarf king gets turned to stone (don't forget to read the shattering! that's where it happens)

I guess Ragnaros wasn't important.

Neither was Deathwing, or was he an orc and I didn't notice?

Al'Akir was an orc pretending to be an air elemental?

I think some orc rode Nefarian around and controlled him, right? Oh wait, he is human. So was Deathwing.

I dont think we were really getting at the whole Lore side of shit, much less who is king of who and why a Troll now leads the Horde. Im pretty sure we were just saying that we're tired of Horde races taking up so much of the content in every expansion. At least I was. I dont expect them to just disappear or anything, but Im sure, at least I hope, that some of you arguing over Lore "get the point."

Throw "lore" away and you still have a fucking troll area in every god damned area in the game.

The point I picked up was raids were all about orcs and he was tired of it because the LAST 2 expansions were full of them. I didn't see that at all. I still don't.

Timeless Isle was definitely too much of a shortcut. LFR for the old raid tiers are still going, with queues no worse than SoO. People could progress that way - there was no need for an instant jump from fresh 90 in greens -> 496 epics. I agree that it's pretty stupid that timeless makes LFR ToT loot useless. At best it should have been pre-ToT level.

That said, the legendary cloak meant you are doing every raid tier anyway. So I did plenty of TOT. I even did the troll dailies because it was the best way to get faction for that prissy twat.

But beating LFR is sure as hell not beating the game. At least do it on Flex where the fights somewhat resemble a real raid. I mean what the fuck Dumar, this raid is 5 months old - did you expect to jump into LFR and wipe 70 times a night for weeks? Your endgame going into this was "beat Garrosh on LFR", really? Then you're an idiot if you expected more than a few days out of it.

I expected more than 2 (literally, Fri night to Sun afternoon) days to beat Garrosh, yes.

And the cinematic was one of the worst they've produced: they've wholly and completely Disney-ified this franchise.

So I resubbed Friday night like a moron. ilvl on my character was 485. As of last night, my character is sitting at 509. I went through timeless isle, every raid, and killed Garrosh in less than 2 days.

What the fuck is this piece of shit. It's 10x worse than before I quit. Truly the most terrible and disgusting design made even worse. Not subbed in over a year to beating the boss of the expac in less than 48 hours? Go fuck yourself Blizzard. I wasted 15 dollars on this.
LOL. I bought game XYZ and played it on VERY EASY and beat it in two days...wtf is this shit...I wasted $60 on this.

Man, you basically zoned in and won the special olympics and then complained that the hurdles were too small for your normal, non-downs legs.

By the way, flex = easy/normal in most games. And, you're part of the "problem" again now.

Grats on spectator mode.

For people who actually partook in progression this tier, SoO was months of good fun, especially the last 3 bosses.

Really, the raiding was great all xpac for once - a relief after the letdown of Deathwing.

It doesn't matter what 'mode' it is: I beat Garrosh as Garrosh is put in the game. The respectability & consistency of the world is on Blizzard to develop it appropriately. I don't respect the difficulty of Garrosh because he's a joke, so there's nothing more 'to see'. Is there a mechanic that I haven't been exposed to? Yes, but nobody cares. You don't go through the game to see mechanics. The fact of the matter is there's nothing more for me to see. If I work harder I can experience the same content again but harder, which there's no reason to do.

I made $1 in interest on my bank account, I therefore won at investing. I am done with that, it was easy ....

Beats game on easiest difficulty. Complains game is too easy.
