Things in the World Of Warcraft have been a bit rough for Horde players lately. In last week’s “Warbringers: Sylvanas” trailer, Blizzard confirmed that Horde warchief Sylvanas Windrunner burned the killed innocent night elves by burning their “world tree” home.

Some Horde players, according to Kotaku, have gone so far as to hide their shoulder armor in imitation of the “Old Soldier” trailer’s Varok Saurfang, protesting Sylvanas’ actions.
Looking for in-game Horde members that share players’ reactions to Sylvanas, Wowhead user perculia points to a God Of War reference that Reddit user newshadow1 discovered back in May.

It’s surprising to see an Easter egg double as such a touching commentary on World Of Warcraft’s story events. I can’t think of a better way Blizzard could have payed tribute to a great game like God Of War.
