I can't say it was unexpected given the writing in Wings of Liberty, though. The fact is that Chris Metzen doesn't look like a classically trained writer as much as an artist and graphic designer, and anyone who views his past work for Warcraft: Orcs vs. Humans, Diablo II, and fictional pieces can see this. Our expectations have simply changed since he entered the business and we expect new directions or at least something different than the typical mold we experienced during our younger days.Halyah said:
Another major problem is that a lot of the issues with World of Warcraft are coming from the system itself. The game is now approaching nine years of being displaced from the original position the game had of Red vs Blue. World of Warcraft worked up through Lich King because the faction system was for the most part, representative of the actual faction loyalties. Ever since Cataclysm, we've entered into a situation where the old Red vs Blue faction mentality is just breaking apart left and right. Some players love being evil and want to go with Garrosh on power mongering. Other players want to work more with the Elves, and I'd imagine some still would rather be doing subterfuge shenanigans with Sylvannas. The only side that still holds at least some factional cohesion is the Alliance, and even they have a split with the now insane Jaina. We really should have a four way battle on our hands with four factions, but Blizzard doesn't want to split the red vs blue paradigm up anymore since they might have to merge them later after all this is over with. Talk about a let down.
