The same kinds of things being said in this thread ring too similar to the things that WoW players said before…well, you know. Those of us who try to course correct and get things back on track are viewed negatively because we refuse to continue letting things slide, all while others defend the state of things until eventually something happens that wakes them up as well.

Anyway, far be it from me to take away or attempt to improve Alphinaud in order to make him more palatable, or follow other basic principles of storytelling that weren’t adhered to this expansion. I suppose another decade of Alphinaud attempting to play diplomat, making a mess of things, and then coming away unscathed will make for a better story than anything I could ever come up with.
