*** It could be a case where Blizzard had to do something that they never planned on. The mounts weren't added because Alliance players would need to find two more mounts to get an achievement, but because Horde players who had the Goblin trikes and faction changed (a paid service) to Alliance would run into the issue of having nothing to change the trikes into. Therefore, they ''had'' to do something, but did not budget any time to do something special or proper, so they did the fastest, cheapest thing they could.
*** Say, remember when Tauren didn't have a mount and got Plainsrunning for free?
** Draenei getting a new class, especially druid (appropriate as it probably ''would'' have been, all [[Fan Wank]] aside) would require Blizzard to stop [[Demoted to Extra|shuffling them under the rug]] and give them relevance to the metaplot, rather than focusing the vast majority of the Alliance's lore on [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad|humans]]. And if that were to happen, [[Vocal Minority|certain loud fans]] who [[Ruined FOREVER|still feel personally affronted by BC]] would rage.<br />Hopefully, Blizzard will eventually figure out that said loud fans are ''not'', in fact, in the majority (even if they tend to fraudulently present themselves as such) and stop listening to them. But that's not happening yet, and looks unlikely to happen in this expansion pack.
*** The funny thing is; the other members of the alliance are self-aware. Tyrande didn't invite the Draenei faction leader(s) to vote on whether or not the Worgen should join the alliance because they were so centered on the burning Legion and Outland that they thought they went back to Outland, and that the only other draenei left were shamans in the earthen ring or warriors in the Argent Crusade. If you ask me, that's a good "Hey guys, forgot about them?".
** Worgen Druids actually do have justification to them. The Worgen curse itself is Druidic magic, it was created when a group of Night Elf Druids attempted to use the Scythe of Elune to create a wolf form, and indeed it's Druidic magic that allows the Gilneans to retain their human minds as Worgen rather than going feral. The preexisting Gilnean "Druids" are [[Handwaved]] as being harvest witches in the early levels, and by the time you get your first form the Night Elves have arrived so presumably you've started learning from them. With Druidic magic having such a heavy impact on their culture, it's not unreasonable to assume some Gilneans would want to study it.
Line 239:
** Or it may simply be a term of endearment; they've known each other for thousands of years.
* In the [[War of the Ancients]] trilogy, an orc and a human mage travel back in time and fight in the war of the ancients on the side of the night elves. Tyrande meets them personally. At the end of the trilogy, the timeline is not reset. Yet neither of these factors appear to have any effect on the events of warcraft III. Why did the night elves (who have lived since the war of the ancients) and Cenarius still attack the horde without warning in the altered timeline?
** Because Richard Knaak is an idiot, and used the [[Timey -Wimey Ball]] to have his author surrogate influence major plot events without thinking of the established storyline.
** Wait, when was the [[Timey -Wimey Ball]] used? As far as appearances go, the new timeline has been adopted in all places. Except that Malygos randomly went crazy again, but since he still had his flight, so even that story was changed.
* Is End Time really random? I've run it a good twenty times and every time has been Tyrande and Baine Bloodhoof.
** Yes it is random, you've just been very, very unlucky.
