Less Orcs, and even less humans. I get that Warcraft started with "Orcs and Humans" (that was even the title, wasn't it?) but it's not there any more. There are ten playable races, and a few more that aren't playable that are still really important.

It looks like Blizz is doing what Rowling did with Harry Potter, the only real important stuff involves Gryffindor and Slytherin (Orcs and Humans) while Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw (everybody else) gets shunted to the side.

It's a little bit worse for the Horde, because when non-Orc Horde shows up, they're either villians, or not with the Horde for some reason.

My topmost want for a story would be one where Trolls weren't just nastybad critters that kill/eat people. A (probably) short story I'd like to see is a High Elf that's still with the Alliance dealing with not just being in the minority, but looking exactly like the enemy. No big epic plot, so it probably wouldn't be too long, but I would like to see it. I'd also like to see a Warlock that isn't power hungry, Gul'Dan, or one of Gul'Dan's followers. I want more "Morally Grey" stuff.

But mostly, I want less Human and Orc stories.
