From the audio clips on MMO Champion it seems like the war just got very real.
Hellscream is becoming more power mad I think. Wrynn is becoming kingly. A long ways since Wrath where Hellscream was the arrogant orc and Wrynn was the Hotheaded Horde Hater. Jaina is pissed. (pissed at the bombing of Theramore. Pissed at the turning of the Sunreavers. Pissed at Hellscream (again) for Anduin's sake.) Good going Hellscream. He managed to piss off the main pacifist element of the Alliance. Now Dalaran looks set to rejoin the Alliance like it was in the Second War. The Trolls and Blood Elves are extremely against Hellscream after certain events. This will not end well for Hellscream's Horde. The Alliance is becoming more unified under Wrynn's calmer hands. Still no sightings of the current Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Goblins. Still want Boss Mida in charge. No word on what Sylvannas is doing. Nor what the Tauren are up to. Best guess is that eventually Hellscream will piss off the Goblins and Tauren as he has the Trolls and Blood Elves (the Forsaken don't care either way, they will still exist). At that point the Champions of the Horde (you PCs) will have to take Hellscream out. No idea if Thrall would be put back in charge, but Hellscream's going to be correpted by the Sha it seems.

There's no point playing PvP solo past 2 AM. The botting issue is just too severe. Sure, you can win games. But what does it feel like to play against bots?
To be frank, it feels like shit. Current PvP is an aberration of what existed in... Wrath? And I don't see any steps by Blizzard to adress or fix the issue.

True. I guess I'm still naive in the sense that I think our developers are trying to create the best gaming experience possible for us. For me, bots are obviously not a part of that experience.

Blizzard from my point of view has moved to PvE long since Wrath. Burning Crusade may have had some good PvP matches/etc, but it sort of went away with Wrath. Since there were no map objectives to take for map bonuses like BC/etc. So, people just went along and decided to go PvE and that's where I took the interest. I never really found Blizzard to be good in making PvP great except for ladder matches in SC2 and WC3.
But then I'm just rambling on

The pragmatic reasons IMO - Blizzard missed the boat with the e-games component IMO. Arena could have become that but it never eventuated. I daresay Titan would go for that market but good luck versing Riot and Valve for it.

Mind you that Mists 5.1 is suppose to have World PVP options that remind me of AV (in terms of objectives) and perhaps something like Rift's zone wide faction quests or whatever they were were you could build up defense or buy guards or something like that.
On the southern Pandaran coast there will be a war between the Alliance and Horde and it is up to the Players to move it around. Taking towers, graveyards, killing certain NPC and PCs to get upgrades to structures, guards, rep bonus for your faction...things like that.

Currently reading Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War and getting some thoughts about what's currently happening. Definitely a buy for those curious on how everything revolved towards what we see in-game.
Destined_Fate - Actually, the Horde is looking bad right now. Most of the community from what I've heard openly hates Garrosh, and want him out. I suppose the lore is turning towards the Horde because they are really unstable at the moment. While the Alliance stands firm and agreeable with each other.

It is known that Hellscream will likely be the final encounter in Mists of Pandaria with the Siege of Orgrimmar. But could Jaina be a second end game boss? A Dalaran raid? Somehow I don't think so, but there is always a possibility of that happening.
Though I hope Gallywix is a boss, either in the Siege of Orgimmar, or as a Scenario/Dungeon at his Monument to Himself.

No, Garrosh is looking bad. The rest of the Horde is being portrayed as completely innocent and that all the problems are because of Garrosh. |

I'm curious who will replace Garrosh though, I'm hoping it's not Thrall again but it probably will be.

One usually doesn't pull the plug is you still have several million people playing. You might turn it to free to play, and stop supporting patches and the like. But this is Blizzard. They kept patching Diablo II for over a decade even though they didn't need to at all.
Plus a cash cow is a cash cow. They might pull away from it to push Titan, but they still have at least one more expansion (maybe two) for World of Warcraft. They will milk it until they think their it no profit in it, or they think they can get more from Titan. Until Titan proves itself, WoW is still on top. There has been no WoW killer. Not even Guild Wars 2, as that is an entirely different model of play (gives people something else to do when not doing rep, or raiding in WoW). Titan might kill WoW, but only if Blizzard wants to kill WoW. They are the only ones that can at this point.
