I'm sorry, but is it really so hard to swallow that Draenei in an alternate universe maybe ARE as bad as they are cracked up to be? Must everythnig be viewed through Alliance goggles?

Lee Moran

So while I love that the draeni could be straight up religious fanatics. One question I pose is. What planet are they on. Dreanor is naturally warlike and aggressive. What's the most aggressive way of spreading religion. An inquisition, convert or be slain.

Yes, because of the way it is told.

i can buy the Draenei becoming more hardline and forcing the Light on the orcs, espescially if one or more of the more hardline naaru are pushing them to it. A lot can happen over 30 years. But, this is not characteristic of either the Draenor B draenei in general or Yrel in particular. When we last saw them, Yrel had been worried that Maraad was getting too bloodthirsty, before he sacrificed himself. They worked together with the sin’dorei at Achindoun and with the Draenor B orcs and the Horde in Tanaan. Yrel even accepted Grommash as a hero after Archimonde was defeated even though she had very good cause to kill or imprison him for being the major driving force behind the Iron Horde. To suddenly have a character we last saw acting that way suddenly be a crusader forcibly converting people is very jarring and does not match anything we know about her or the other Draenei. Like I said, 30 years can change a lot, but when it changes a character that dramatically we need to see at least the key moments that turned them towards the new path. Otherwise it comes across as bad writing. It would be like announcing Baine is now a Tauren supremacist who is bent on conquering kalimdor for the Tauren, and holds the other Horde races in barely veiled contempt.
