Even that gormless knucklehead Garrosh is probably not going to put up with you for much longer.
Whereas before the Forsaken would claim to be different from the Scourge, they've now shown themselves to be exactly the same; and they don't stand a chance when the living races finally recognise the seriousness of the threat they pose, and band together to send them back to their graves.
And as for the rest of the Horde, they haven't been faring too well. Aside from Azshara (which was practically uninhabited anyway) they haven't scored any decisive victories. They attacked the Alliance in Darkshore, and were thoroughly defeated; they attacked the Alliance in Ashenvale and Stonetalon and were pushed back; and it's only a matter of time before Southern Barrens is under Alliance control.
In short, I feel your decision to faction change to Horde was premature and we'll see who has the last laugh.

LIES. ALL LIES.
Garrosh knows better than to destabilize his power over Eastern Kingdoms by messing with Sylvanas. We are the defining force of the Horde on the eastern continent. Blood Elves are useless, as everybody knows. We even have to help those buggers control Ghostlands. A complete waste of precious resources, I think.
We're different from the Scourge in one crucial way; we let them choose. If you'd come for a visit in Deathknell (to be fair, we'd poison your tea, but you don't have to drink it) you'll notice that the corpses we raise from the mass graves are being given a clear choice. "Join the Banshee Queen, begone and exist away from us, or return to the afterlife." Of course, agreeing to serve usually results in you being mind controlled, unless you're a special case.
And how do you know the Argent Crusade will be able to defeat us? They've already had one case of treachery. *COUGH*Bisp*COUGH* whom they couldn't even get rid of. Some adventurer dealt with it, I believe, but the fact remains they can't even rid their own ranks of dissent. With that in mind, how long do you think their faith in the light will hold when we tear their minds to shreds with the shadow and raise their battered corpses?
How long do you think it will hold when their former comrades serve
willingly?
The problem is, by the time the idiots actually realize what's going on, most of them will already be dead. The plague the Scourge created annihilated Lordaeron all on its own, without the main Scourge force forming until well after. Putress' green mess is far stronger, and despite the idiot Garrosh insisting we're not allowed to use it, we are.
Which begs the question of why his man in the Apothecarium hasn't reported ill yet.
*/Evil smirk*
Sylvanas was already shot in the head by Godfrey; didn't keep her down for long. And that's Sylvanas. With the Val'Kyr under our control, we're basically immortal.
That is the Horde being led by Garrosh. Everybody hates Garrosh. Even Thrall acknowledges that he'll lead the Horde to ruin. I expect him to be removed as soon as somebody beheads Deathwing. Poooosssssiiibly sooner.
The Orcs don't have the vicious disposition, the cunning, or the advantages we Forsaken have. I believe Garrosh executed some twit in Stonetalon for
winning the wrong way. Anybody who actually argues with results is in no position to lead the bloody Horde.
But I suppose that doesn't matter, does it. Considering your leadership consists of- wait, let me list 'em.
-An idiot King with a split personality, who left his ten year old son in the care of a retardin and a dragon to rule for years. Moron.
-A Night Elven housewife who's been too frustrated by her Husband having no time for her to do anything about the Horde, save for send her amazon lunatics to go beat up some Trolls. Or something.
-A Gnome. Need I say more? Gnomes.
-The Dwarves are currently lead by a council. Of three different Dwarf clan leaders. Everybody knows Dwarves of different clans can't agree on anything, so what happened there?
-The Draenei have some old crack-smoking catholic ped- yeah. You get it. That guy doesn't wear any pants under his robe. o_o;
-...And a geriatric werewolf.
Now, allow me to list the leaders of the Horde.
-A maniacal ten year old in the body of a super soldier.
-A Banshee with a reputation for brutally murdering or mind controlling anything stupid enough to be in her way.
-A Troll guy who appears to be in the process of saving us all from other Trolls who want to eat our skin. With his voodoo magic. And awesome disposition.
-Baine Bloodhoof. The man wears trees on his back for training weights, and sometimes kicks people off his city.
-Lor'Themar Theron. The pansy politician who stands around trying to figure out what to do with his hair. Yeah, we're not proud of him.
-Gallywix! No explanation needed.
The southern barrens are rather worthless, to be honest. We travel by Zeppelin, and that big nasty magma gap could easily be widened a bit using Shamans.
Also, didn't you notice that the Dwarves went and woke something up under that general area? Again. AGAIN. You've raised the Old Gods. At this rate, we won't have to bother killing you, as you'll be eaten when you try to punch out Cthulhu. XD
I'm ranting now. Blah.
