But What About the Blood Trolls?

...Yeah, what about them? Where do they fall in lore? Do they still exist? And what about the other tribe that worships the same entity... The one we don’t really talk about, anymore? We’re gonna talk about it. See, the blood trolls are an interesting breed. They fall undoubtedly within the realm of chaotic evil, serving loa and gods with the intent to corrupt the world and its inhabitants. Under Princess Talanji’s authority, it’s assumed that Nazmir will eventually be purged, or at least their numbers will be culled to such an extent that another march onto the Golden City wouldn’t be possible without some sort of twisted, divine intervention. But even though the blood trolls of Nazmir worshiped G’huun, championing the tainted and now fallen blood god... G’huun isn’t the only one who carries that title. To be honest, he’s pretty small fry compared to the big blood poppa. Hakkar the Soulflayer is responsible for the initial creation of the blood trolls. No one knows the origins of this god (though he has been canonically accepted as a loa), and there are no records of his presence on Azeroth before a troll tried to summon him to Zandalar. This was an ancient event, one that predates the Dark Portal by hundreds if not thousands of years. What followed was the great plague-- An incurable blood sickness that killed an absurd number of trolls. It’s what prompted the golems to be constructed for fear of more becoming infected, and it is also an event that prompted the infamous “Path of Blood”... Hence, the birth of the blood trolls. You’re probably familiar with Hakkar in Gurubashi history. A once great civilization turning to the utmost dire measures to preserve their empire. Most trolls were alive during the Cataclysm, when the world shook to ruins. But the Sundering, when the world split, was a death sentence for the majesty of the troll empires. It was a slow death, riddled with hunger and desperation, and eventually the Gurubashi turned to their last resort. The empire grew, so much so as to prompt a reaction and many, many questions from the Zandalari. However, the price of their prosperity came in the form of blood sacrifices. Each day that passed, more and more were demanded. ...Basically the trolls were killing their people to save their people... You can see the problem here, right? I don’t need to explain why this caused such extreme civil unrest that the tribes once united under Zul’Gurub would eventually split up into independent, xenophobic tribes... Just put two and two together, you got it. What’s interesting, here, is that during his time in Zul’Gurub, Hakkar was behind the creation of another tribe-- Not through blood, but through zealotry. These sacrifices didn’t just happen blindly, or for no reason. They happened under the influence and prominence of the Hakkari. These were the priests of Hakkar, his lieutenants... And even they would turn on the insatiable god. All would, except for the Atal’ai. If that name sounds familiar, but you can’t place it... Remember the Sunken Temple dungeon? The one in the Swamp of Sorrows that got blasted by Ysera? Remember all of those green dragons, and dragonkin? The reason those temples were full of them is because they were used as ritualistic sacrifices. They went through torturous treatment by the Atal’ai for, quite literally, blood for the blood god. Putting them down wasn’t extermination... It was euthanization. That’s how deep the corruption spread. It should be noted here that the Atal’ai are universally despised by the entirety of the troll empire, much like the Nazmani blood trolls. The tribes of Stranglethorn are often described as hating the Darkspear with a burning passion. That hatred exists exponentially higher for the members of the Atal’ai. They are considered to be less than dirt... Because even dirt can produce something worthwhile. So at this point, you’re probably thinking something along the lines of... “This is all a very interesting story and a cool lesson on lore, but what about those blood trolls?” Well, the thing is... Hakkar keeps coming back. No one really knows where he originally comes from, but his presence in Azeroth has made an impression on four separate occasions. Someone, somewhere, for some reason ultimately and inevitably seems drawn to him... And apparently, he’s coming back for Shadowlands and he’s bringing some Atal’ai Devoted with him. Those that would worship the blood god, Atal’ai and Nazmani blood trolls alike, still absolutely have a presence in troll roleplay. Now, their place is wrapped in centuries of disdain and hatred by the other tribes... And for reasonable cause. If you roleplay as a blood troll/Atal’ai and receive these reactions, hopefully this will give you a little bit of an idea of why that is. These tribes are the product of corruption that took countless lives, caused unspeakable tragedies, and brought thriving empires to ruination. (I shouldn’t have to make this part of the essay clear, but I’ll say it anyway. Out of character, and as a person behind the computer, no one has any right to treat you poorly based on what you play. Just as in character actions do not necessarily reflect someone’s out of character opinion of you as a player. The purpose of this article is to provide an opinion about certain aspects of the story, as well as inform role players about the history and potential presence of these trolls... Not to condone the mistreatment of players behind them. Be nice. We’re all nerds looking to have a good time in our own way.) Article: Opinion Piece, Author: Vorzhal , Realm: WyrmrestAccord

Blizzard's Response on the Zul'Gurub Class Enchant Exploit

Blizzard has responded to reports about players trading ZG class enchants, which is unintended behavior as the enchants are BoP. They have called it an exploit and recommend players don't enchant gear in this way.

Blizzard

people are trading their class enchants because of spell batching in trade windows

It’s not actually batching, it’s a timing interaction between a macro and the trade window. It just seems like batching. Continue reading » source https://www.wowhead.com/news=312183/blizzards-response-on-the-zulgurub-class-enchant-exploit
