No doubt about that, but the fact is it also feels like Blizzard is punishing players who have quit mid expansion. Especially because the reputation gains in Legion are, well, not consistent. Most quests reward something like 250 or so rep, while in Legion, the four you were trying to recruit for BfA were something 75-150.

Normally, you might be able to grind rep and get to Exalted with a faction in two weeks or so, even on a slow grind. With the gains in Legion, you're looking at nearly a month to raise one allied race. So yeah, it can feel like Blizzard are punishing those who are coming back.

I'm glad I have a human character, grinding rep was pretty easy from x-pac to x-pac. I am also lucky Blizzard made it so you didn't have to grind rep on those legion factions for horde AND alliance to gain the allied races in BFA.

I still have yet to log in (never got a chance to log back in after the burning of the tree to do the siege of Lorderon) so I hope its as fun as the last 2 x-pacs were when you started.

Of course they are.

Which is why I'm surprised they're sticking to their guns on the 'we aren't changing the requirements to unlock allied races'. So far, at any rate. I still think that's likely to change about 4-6 months down the line. The last thing they want to do is alienate people who stopped playing and came back for the new expansion, and they are well aware of this fact. Sure the people who got it the hard way will complain... But that's all their likely to do. That and keep paying their subscription. On the other hand, if someone signed up with the promise of being able to play a void elf or Blackrock dwarf and finds out 'Oh no, you have to spend a month doing pointless Legion content to unlock the abilities to finally play the character you want they are more likely than the dedicated player to quickly drop out.

And Blizzard has a long history of making things harder to get while they are new/in current expansion and then relaxing the requirements a lot once the event or whatever has been out for a while, or when it's not really relevant to current events. Allied races are a bit of a risk for them I think, where they are trying to balance giving people what they promised, but still making people work for it. But I expect either the requirements to eventually be loosened or removed eventually. Or they turn up the rate you acquire reputation with the relevant factions so you can do it in a week or two casually instead of more than a month.

I was watching a couple of videos about potential allied races and a thought came to me.

A big part of Sylvanas' character has been to do with her fear of what waits for her in the afterlife, or rather lack thereof. Following Arthas' death, Sylvanas had nothing to "live" for and sought to end her own life and found there was nothing. No afterlife. Just a black emptiness.

(click to show/hide)What if the Void Lords knew Sylvanas had committed suicide and took the opportunity to make her their agent? Manipulate her by exposing her to themselves, not the afterlife but their ravenous hunger? Hence her more aggressive stance, beginning with the invasion of Gilneas and planning to unleash the Blight Plague there and the forming of a wedge in the Horde. And with Sylvanas as Warchief, she's begun a war that could further the goals of the Void Lords.
