Don't know whether this is relevant here and if any of you actually care about the lore side of things but for me it is still a continuing draw to WoW and raiding.
I was a little...disgruntled I guess, at the haphazard way the Blue Dragonflight has been not only cast as the bad guy agressors in the upcoming storyline, but also that the Red Dragonflight would so willingly turn to open war against them.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
- I don't buy that Malygos in his new found sanity would implement a plan (shifting the Leylines of magic) that would destroy the world. What purpose would that serve him? What does he care if the Legion come back again if he has destroyed the world himself? Sure each aspect has its own area of responsibility but as a whole they were empowered by the Titans to watch over Azeroth and protect it, not tear it apart. All prior lore also suggests that Malygos takes a very back seat role in interacting with the younger races and will only take action as a last resort.
- This isn't some rash young upstart like Illidan (pft, 10,000 years is nothing) who is head strong. This is quite possibly the oldest being alive on Azeroth, certainly the oldest aspect. The plan is ridiculous.
- Malygos has had a terribly tough time since he helped Deathwing create the demon soul. But in defeating Deathwing he earned redemption and helped free Alexstrazsa who in turn helped to restore a small part of Malygos' flight, enough to repopulate to their previous numbers. This is a time that Malygos would be consolidating his forces and trying to get them back up to the strength of the other aspects, not leading an all out assault to end the world. It also seems that his bond with Alexstraza has been forgotten as they are now pitted against each other.
God only knows why that preview video shows demons in Malygos' inner sanctum either. If he has resorted to recruiting warlocks, practicers of magic as well as summoning Demons (and as his main aim in this whole crazy scheme is to avoid notice by the Burning Legion) then the story just went out the window.
