Hi everyone! So, my main character is a human BM hunter, and I made an entire back story for her from birth to present day in Legion. The other day, I was talking about Illidan with some fellow players on my realm, and I mentioned how weird it felt for my character (Arwyn) to be working alongside him on the Broken Shore after killing him in Outland years ago; but then someone told me that because humans couldn't be hunters until Cataclysm, there was no way Arwyn could have been there. They continued by saying I can't claim that she participated in anything from Vanilla wow through WotLK. So, yeah, I'm feeling really upset now
The thing is, I know Blizzard didn't add them until Cataclysm because of class gameplay balance, or something like that, but lore wise, I can't find any reason for human hunters not existing pre-Cat. I mean, we have people like Tyrathan Khort and Nathanos Blightcaller who are human (undead human in Nathanos' case) hunters before Cataclysm. Also, there are human hunters in Amberpine Lodge and Grizzly Hills from WotLK. So, my question is, is it ok for me to RP that my character has been on the scene from day one?
