Blizzard removes, adds back, and now re-removes WoW Classic Cataclysm line where Garrosh calls Sylvanas a "b***h," despite MMO lead swearing it was "not coming back"
gamesradar.comWoW Classic's Cataclysm servers are bringing back heaps of what you remember from the 14-year-old expansion, but not everything. An infamous line where Garrosh calls Sylvanas a "b***h" has been cut despite making a return just one month ago.
Back in the original expansion, the Silverpine Forest questline featured a back-and-forth between Sylvanas and Garrosh that resulted in the latter resorting to profanities before storming off, warning the Banshee Queen that we all have to meet our makers someday and that she may do so sooner rather than later. The line lands well with some as World of Warcraft seldom includes swearing, though others find the derogatory language needless.
