They had to pull some serious butt strings to make the Goblins on Horde make sense also.
And Blood Elves...
Dranei were a bit of a stretch.
Worgen might be the only one I get and even that one is hard.
Trust me, they'll slap Ethereals on Horde and Pandaren on Alliance and the story will be whacky as all hell. Because they refuse to do anything interesting when it comes to factions. Binary racism is so old and tiresome :/.
"We hate them!" "Why?" "BECAUSE!" "Ah. Sounds good."

So
EVERYONE in their respective races is neutral?
EVERYONE?
Is there some vital bit of logic I'm missing here?
Generally a faction is judged by the actions of its leadership. Even in the real world people tend to hate the US because of actions amongst a small group of people.
In Warcraft there is no discernable reason the Pandaren race or its leaders would join either faction.
Similarly there is no event past or present that would inspire the Ethereals to join forces.
The only Ethereals that have been met in game were either aggressive to both factions or neutral to both factions. Which in either case makes them neutrally observant seeing as their actions do not differentiate.
Pandarens mostly just seem to get drunk when they visit.

Wow... Blizz is getting desperate. Add a few more animal races and all the furries from SecondLife will swarm WoW.
Anyways, we've only been waiting since the game first opened its doors to play as the Murlocs. Three expansions later and we still can't play as MURLOCS. I've been waiting years to Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! my way across the land. Wtf is wrong with Blizzard? Pandas? No one wants stinking pandas. We want bloody Murlocs!
Desperate to add content they made from 2002?
Also I agree no Murlocs has always been a great disappointment for me. They even have a group of friendly ones in Northrend that we could branch off from.
