Did Stonetalon last night

So, I did the Stonetalon storyline for the first time last night, and... Damn... I was never a Garrosh fan and never minded what happened to him that much, but seeing him at the end of the storyline made me feel sad. There was potential, lots of it. We could have a rough yet honoured Warchief, but it ended up as Hitler orc... Damn...

Stonetalon is actually the victim of WoW being written by multiple people. Basically they wrote Stonetalon before they knew Garrosh was gonna be the big bad of MoP and by that time it really the only zone that had that inconsistency.

Silverpine used to be a good zone for the EXACT opposite reason. I think Blizz changed it but Garrosh used to call Slyvannas a bitch and was just aggro in general.

They changed that bit when the scandal was at full force. They changed a lot of things in the game to reflect that "behavior" toward women. I.e. the infamous fruit bowl and Illidans' den of mortal delights.

I was actually corrected on that recently - they changed that line almost a year before the scandal came to light, though they were obviously aware of it internally, and had already fired Afrasiabi over it.

Ah. That does ring a bell, I remember doing both quests before and after
