Skoll Shorties

I wonder if people would be throwing their over Calia if she was a character since Cataclysm. Seems one of the issues is she's barely in the game and they don't feel like they need to read the books.

While huge lore events in books is a big issue for games like Warcraft, Halo, etc. It's nothing new and has been something Blizzard has been doing for a while now. Baine was established as leader of the Tauren in Shattering. As was Garrosh. As was the Council of Three Hammers.

I honestly think people would still take issue with Calia even if she was in say Shattering or Cataclysm or any of the previous expansions. I think it really just comes down to she's not Sylvanas. Just like Garrosh wasn't Thrall or Anduin isn't Varian.

People despise change. I didn't like Cairne dying, I didn't like Thrall leaving Garrosh in charge. But did it get the story going? Did it get me invested? Yes. And I honestly see Calia as a change the Forsaken -EXTREMELY- need as Zelling and her were very nice additions.

The weirdest part is people saying she can't relate to the former people of LORDAERON but Sylvanas, a goddamn high elf somehow does.

Its amazing how many people missed the point of the Desolate Council completely, which was literally that Sylvanas does not relate to the wishes of the normal Forsaken (and doesn't care about that fact) and they are not like Sylvanas and don't think like her.
