No, I understand. I really do. I guess I'm not understanding the degree to which the lore has changed, because I didn't play the original Warcraft series. Are we talking about a few minor details like everyone pictured the Draenei as pushovers when it turns out that they are more than people thought? That's fine, because that just means you didn't have the full story before, so this simply fleshes things out. On the other hand, is the issue that the new lore suddenly makes Sargaras from the ultimate good guy to the ultimate bad guy? Now that I can understand would be counter-immersive.
