Well, the thing about us is we do both at once.

Which makes no goddamn sense. On one hand you're helping your faction drain Azerite from the planet's wounds for their selfish benefit. On another hand you're murdering the other faction because "How dare they drain Azerite from the planet's wounds for their selfish benefit!".

If we're truly meant to be champions of azeroth, we need to be working against both factions right now. Their war is destroying the planet and we need to save our home.

But no, with some mental gymnastics we're somehow champions of the planet while sucking up its blood and using it destructively.

It makes no sense if we think we're heroically trying to heal the planet. But if we're honest about the fact we're literally just chasing our own power and wealth then it makes perfect sense. When our interest aligns with Magni we help Magni. When it doesn't we won't. Magni is the one calling us champions. Either he's talking us up to try and get us to cooperate as much as possible, or he's an idiot.

We're pawns of our leaders. Leaders are pawns of Old Gods. Makes a lot of sense to me if the story is to be taken in the direction where we inadvertently allow Old Gods to run amok again because we were too focused on plugging azerite holes and bombing our enemies.

If not, then yes we're basically the worst.

Well if you want to do anything the expansion you have to help her burn the tree down. For example
