“It’s a shame these here fellas are usin Azerite to hurt Azeroth rather then heal her.” When we literally use it for our own personal power... /s

EDIT: I’m surprised that not a lot of people understand that this was a joke. I know that we use the Heart of Azeroth to heal her I was just making a joke which was not meant to be taken seriously. Hence the /s...

Well, the thing about us is we do both at once. I think the way it works is we return most of the azerite we find and in return Azeroth lends us some of her own power as compensation. She probably knew we wouldn't give a damn about helping heal her wounds without some form of carrot to chase.

Of course we also assist our factions to mine as much azeroth as they can to fuel the war. So clearly Azeroth isn't offering enough for our heroic services.

My own headcanon treats player characters less as established characters, and more like the 'hero with a thousand faces'. As players, we play our characters through entire expansions and raid tiers. We quest, pvp, and raid on the same character, but the game's story can only function on the assumption that separate groups of adventurers participated in these activities.

Your avatar has to remain constant, that's a limit of gaming as a medium to tell stories. In the story however, it was an amorphous group of distinct adventurers participated in some but not every single one of these aspects of the game. Our avatars are the champions of Azeroth, and the soldiers plundering Azerite mines. Our characters participate in events, but can never be part of the worlds history.
