Breakfast Topic: Who do you want to kill?

For myself, I'm looking forward to breaking off a piece of Ragnaros on the slopes of Mount Hyjal, but who I really want to kill more than just about anyone is Gul'dan. Yeah, I know he's dead: so what? Do a Caverns of Time: Sargeras' Tomb and show us that Gul'dan actually almost made it out of the tomb, bloodied but unbroken and with the Eye of Sargeras in his possession, and it's up to us future Horde or Alliance players to cut the guy down before he figures out how to use it to become godlike. Because as bad as the Lich King might be, can you imagine Gul'dan with godlike power? The guy stuck his apprentices' souls into jeweled truncheons and created the first DK's just as a means to an end! Gul'dan's conscience is so non existent it makes that whole "I pulled out my own heart so I would have no weaknesses" deal sound like a cringing emo move. Gul'dan never had a heart in the first place to pull out! This was a guy who deliberately sold his entire people into demonic bloodlust because it would make them less likely to ask him questions. So yeah, I want to kill Gul'dan. Make it happen, Chromie. Send me back. I have all sorts of pointy things I'd like to introduce him to.
How about you? Who do you want to kill?

All the filthy Alliance! For The Horde!!!!

I find the cleaning habits of the Horde to be questionable!!
Hi are you a member of the glorious Alliance? Tired of your garments getting dirty with burning legion fel blood or saronite induced stains? or that well beaten troll mojo just won't go? Try Gnome-away! It's a new cleaning product from those little tinkers working hard away at Gnomecorp Inc.
Never accept unclear armor again, say "Gimme Gnome-away now!!" to your local tradesman today!
FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!

Grab your sword a JOIN the Horde!

I think both the Alliance and the Horde would have very very good reasons to kill Gul'Dan.
THE GUY'S FREAKIN' EVIL.
He was power-hungry even before Ner'zhul swore alliegance to Kil'Jaeden.

Victory for The Foresaken!!! Death to the Alliance AND Horde!!
Terethall Jan 9th 2010 2:17PM
Death to the Scourge, and death to the living. And the Forsaken. And the Burning Legion, obviously. And the elementals and titans and Old Gods... you know what? Just death to everyone, ok? Can we all agree that the only fair thing is to kill everything?

Gul'dan IS dead. He's been dead since Warcraft 1. His SKULL is in multiple cutscenes (and finding it is the main objective of several Warcraft 3 missions). Illidan drops it as a caster trinket (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32483).
No Setbacks here. He's dead.

LOK'TAR OGAR!!! FOR GARROSH!!! ...why you all starin' at me?

@Gnosh: Did you even READ the article?
Gnosh Jan 9th 2010 10:33PM
Wall of text crit my eyes for 30K. The title appeared reasonable enough.
If blizzard is going to retcon MORE stuff, I'd prefer they stay away from doing it for the sake of a one-off CoT instance.
If anything, the relevant COT dungeon for that even would be making sure Gul'dan got far enough inside to inscribe his wisdom onto the walls of the tomb (in his own blood) and infuse his own skeleton with his knowledge and power, helping him fight off demons and undead guardians, to make sure the events of WCII and III could take place as they did (in particular, the skull was used to close the Dark Portal in warcraft II).

If you try to hurt our Chromie, we'll be forced to go back in time and stop you.
Qot Jan 9th 2010 10:51AM
Your travels back in time to save Chromie would disrupt the time-stream, forcing the saved Chromie to send people back in time to make sure that she is killed.

*He is killed. Chromie is a guy.
AudreyR Jan 9th 2010 8:19PM
Unless she sends people back to kill themselves to stop them from saving her....Wow. I'm so glad I'm not part of the Bronze Dragonflight. This stuff gets confusing.
Bladblodblid Jan 15th 2010 4:42PM
@AudreyR
If you were in the bronze dragonflight, you would already understand it all.
Because your future self went back in time and taught you how it all works.
Time-Pwnd.

I'd quite like to do a Caverns of Time: Rescue from Stratholme, when Tirion goes in to rescue Eitrigg. Just because I want to fight that damned annoying Barthilas!!
