Really confuses me that blood elves get te horde. Even though i know why i really think its stupid

Ya so, if it is furbolgs... uhhhm got no words

I think it would be really weird seeing savage furbolgs run around stormwind.

Because Blizzard loves balance. And the Horde is too damn ugly so they put Blood Elves.

Timbermaw Furbolgs are a neutral faction and I highly doubt that Blizzard will turn around and make them an Alliance race right after they added rep rewards to them.
#19
They don't need to be the Timbermaw

If Blizzard can suddenly make a group of Blood Elves who stayed on Azeroth and like the Horde who they've wared against for years, then Blizzard can stick a random Furbolg tribe in
#20
Except for the fact that the Furbolg race is shamanistic.
#21
Blood Elves are demon magic sucking arcane magic addicts yet they've joined the shamanistic Horde

I don't see it too far of a stretch for Furbolgs to join the Alliance. Certaintly a much further stretch for some random race who don't even know of the Alliance's existance, like the Draenei or something, to join rather than Furbolgs joining

As far as game mechanics go, there will not be any Shaman amongst the Alliances ranks unless the Horde is given access to Paladins.

And just because the Sin'dorei use Arcane and Fel magiks that's not a good reason for them to not be in the Horde. The Forsaken and Orcish warlocks use Fel magic as well and they're allowed in the Horde.
#23
The only reason the Orcish warlocks are allowed in the Horde is because Thrall doesn't want to slaughter each and every one of them

And the Forsaken are on the "barely tolerated" side of things. Hence why they start at "Neutral" rather than "Friendly"

And look, there's a certain type of dwarf that's shamanistic, yet the Alliance has dwarves
#24
But shamanism isn't something found throughout the entire dwarven race.
#25
No, but arcane corruption is something the Horde are against but it is rampart throughout all Blood Elven culture

So they can just say that this is a non shaman group of Furbolgs and give them druids (Yes, druids are a furbolg class). It'll make up for only 2 pallys or something

I mean, NO race in Warcraft can be a pally anyway

Lol Peeps....im 100% sure the new race will be Draenei...it was confirmed in a magazine...and you can check out the new models of Draenei tents and structures in the 1.9 patch...believe me or not...prepare to play as DRAENEI!!! :D
#27
So, to demolish your fact, I shall check out the 1.9 patch

Firstly, "comfirmed in a magazine" means nothing. Magazines posted stuff about the Undead using mana rather than resources, along with 6 races in RoC. They also posted about this funky hero called the Warlord, and saying that the Shadow Hunter would use only wards

Opps. They were wrong

Secondly, I checked. The only remotely Draenei related buildings I found have been in since the VERY BEGINING of the game.

Opps, you loose

Also, to go for a third assult via location, Draenei are mostly on Draenor. The Dark Portal shall be opened via a quest, simular to Ahn'Quiraj. Except that it involves Khazran and Narraxis. So, the Portal won't be open, which eliminates the possibility of a race living on Outland

Therefore, the race won't be Draenei

Forthly, lorewise, the Alliance and Draenei have had no contact at all. Sure the Draenei hate their former friends, the Orcs, but so do a lot of things. So, due to lack of communication, I declare that Draenei will not be the race

Finally, I declare that due to their alliance with Illidan and their position as a neutral force in an obviously unreleased battleground, the Draenei are allied with Illidan and won't ally with some random Alliance who want him dead

Please learn to make better arguements. I can rip apart such a weak statement in a few seconds
#28
Huh?You think you ripped my argument apart?You think? 8) Well gonna bring a link to an official paper sheet enclosing all you wish to know fellow!Coming Soon :twisted:
#29
Bring it

The fact that all I've said is confirmed by Blizzard sources and common sense is good enough

Oh, and did I mention "Draenei are ugly as sin"? There's another reason why they won't be playable: No one would want to play them
#30
Didn't that magazine retract that statement, saying it was indeed mere speculation on their part and not official?

Anywho, I don't recall the Horde being against arcane addiction.

What do you mean no race can be paladins?
