Why do you like this game?

[linay]

The player character in WoW exists, but only as a generic soldier/mercenary. All of the important deeds are credited to major lore figures instead. See all the memes about Thrall killstealing Deathwing.

Yeah, so practically nonexistent in the lore. You don't take credit for what other people do unless they don't exist and it was you who did it. The "generic soldier" attribution doesn't work when the game has you become leader of your class hall in Legion, only to change that in the lore.
