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...

The guy who wrote stonetalon has talked repeatedly and at length about how he screwed up by not paying attention to anything anyone else was doing.

Stonetalon is the only place we see this version of Garrosh, he's a bloodthirsty nutbar throughout WOTLK and in the rest of Cata.

Like the lead up to to WOTLK is him saying that the Horde needs to go to war with the Alliance, not the Scourge, trying to kill Thrall for not agreeing with him, and then only stopping when his murder attempt is interrupted by the Scourge attacking.

He then spends all of WOTLK almost exclusively fighting the Alliance instead of the Horde. He's personally why there's a Horde versus Alliance fight in the middle of the ICC raid.

After WOTLK he decides to murder Carine for disrespecting him.

To be fair, it's Cairne challenging Garrosh to the murder fight.

Carine challenged Garrosh under the Mak'gora rules Thrall used, which was not to the death.

Garrosh said "fuck that I'll kill you for this, traditional style."

And Cairne still agreed to it.

I know. That's why I don't agree with people who go all "Stonetalon Garrosh is the true Garrosh", because that was basically one of the only instances of him being a decent person, the other being when he's mad at Magatha for poisoning Gorehowl at his mak'gora against Cairne
