I have a proposal for Garrosh. It starts with a meeting. I call upon him to allow me to pledge my allegiance to him and in return I will teach him the ways of the warlock. I tell Garrosh about the army that I have amassed at the base of thunder bluff patiently waiting for his orders. He tells me he would like to see this so called army of mine. We make our way to thunder bluff and secure a vantage point high above the ground below. Garrosh inches closer to the edge and peers over while asking, "where is this army you speak of?" I gradually move behind him while commenting about how much of a drop it is to the ground. I ask in a wondering way, so garrosh, can you fly?

you know how i know they favor the allys just look at the shammys and pally how many shammys do allys have now and how many pallys horde have funny huh

@Lovedumplin: The two races of the Horde that favor light have paladins, as do the three races of the Alliance. The two races of the Alliance that have shamanistic cultures have shammies while the three races of the Horde with shamanistic leanings have shamen. 2 and 3 vs. 3 and 2. Seems relatively even to me.

To all the horde fan boys who think Thrall will take the horde to victory over the alliance, Thrall is all about peace and doesn't really like war. The sooner y'all realize that the sooner we can stop arguing over who's better, horde or alliance it all depends on the player.

Honestly, read Lord of the Clans. It's an excellent story. Whole lot of depth, and it's also extremely well-written. It starts before the birth of Thrall, with Durotan and his mate, and goes up until Thrall has rallied some of the Horde back after their bloodlust died out due to the loss of Gul'Dan's magic.

I almost cried.

I may be alliane but the horde does need Thall back because only he brought peace between the two factions and I would pledge allegiance to him over Varian. Especailly because he is to much like Garrosh

@Mattxm: I'd sooner stand with the Night Elves and Greymane. They don't have nearly as hard-line a stance in the game. That and who doesn't love nightsabers?

Didn't the developers already say that sometime during MoP, Garrosh will eventually lose his mind to rage and his barbaric tendencies and both the Horde and Alliance will find a new common enemy they have to fight? Along with whatever evil is lurking within the Mists of Pandaria, of course. *Dun dun dun!*

Also, if this isn't some kind of foreshadowing:
Image of Vol'jin says: Ya be no Warchief of mine. Ya've not earned my respect and I'll not be seein' tha Horde destroyed by ya foolish thirst for war.
Image of Garrosh says: And what exactly do you think that you'll do about it? Your threats are hollow. Go slink away with the rest of your kind in the slums. I will endure your filth in my throne room no longer.
Image of Vol'jin says: I know exactly what I'll be doin' about it, son of Hellscream. I'll be watchin' as ya people slowly become aware of ya ineptitude. I'll laugh as dey grow ta despise ya as I do. And when tha time comes dat ya failure is complete and ya "power" is meaningless, I will be dere to end ya rule, swiftly and silently. Ya will spend ya reign glancin' over ya shoulda and fearin' tha shadows, for when tha time comes and ya blood be slowly drainin' out, ya will know exactly who fired da arrow dat pierced ya heart.
Image of Garrosh says: You have sealed your fate, troll.
Image of Garrosh spits at Vol'jin's feet.
Image of Vol'jin says: And you yours, "Warchief".
