Skoll Shorties

-be vast swaths of the Forsaken playerbase that will never like this shift. Not an insignificant vocal minority, but the bulk of us. Because, all technicalities aside, the entire theming and aesthetic of Calia is diametrically opposed to the product that the Forsaken are.-

-It will never fit. Anyway, rant aside, I still have a powerful suspicion that Calia's being put on the throne as a setup for the Evil Light expansion on the horizon. Despite what the rant may imply, I'm not actually that angry about Calia. Mainly because I've been so-

-disillusioned on WoW's story for so long now. This is just another fire on the road. I'm just pointing out how she doesn't work and how she won't fit with the playerbase to those who really, really want her to. Mainly because they want the Forsaken to be something different-

-than they've always been. And rebranding anything for a group of people that isn't the core audience is always a bad idea. Such a bad idea that I suspect it's a read herring.

It's bound to happen with the Forsaken with Sylvanas gone. Maybe not to the extent y'all are thinking but better to rip off that band-aid now.

I keep seeing you say this. "Rip off that band-aid now." Tell me, what do you mean by this?

Ripping off the band-aid now basically means in this situation: "To go through with a situation that you're prolonging now rather than later." So in the case of Calia just dealing with the fact that she's going to be the Forsaken's new leader and change a few things.
