“pandas are a a bigger bend in the lore than wod”

ah yes okay a race that has been heavily established since wc3 is much more lore bending than an expac that literally changes major historical moments

To be fair all of the stuff that we did with the pandas had actual lore consequences. 
Meanwhile, we could close all the portals to Draenor and go on like none of it ever happened.
