Wouldn't want to be a human in Azeroth.

If you could live in the world of Azeroth, what species would you really not want to be?

For me it's humans, sometimes I wonder why there's even any humans left in Azeroth. Ever since Warcraft came out humans have been getting slaughtered. Everywhere. All the time.
So let's see,
Warcraft 1 - Orcs invaded southern Eastern Kingdoms, everyone dies.
Warcraft 2 - Orcs invade northern Eastern Kingdoms, get beaten back, humans take severe casualties but move back south.
Warcraft 3 - Northern Eastern kingdoms gets scourge'd, nearly everyone dies, big cities like Stratholme, Dalaran and Lordaeron are virtually wiped out.

Now let's look at events in World of warcraft. The only place where humans still have a semblance of civilization is Stormwind and the area around it, and how do you think that's going? Elwyn's forest is alright really, not much going on there except for roving bands of devias and goblins. Westfall - pretty much everyone is having trouble with the defias and other stuff, they're all leaving and not getting any help. Darkshire - Everyone got killed by worgen, one little settlement left for refugees. And finally, Redrige - mostly dominated by orcs and goblins and stuff.

So basically the humans have gone from the most dominant species in the world of azeroth to one of the smaller ones like dwarfs or gnomes. I mean sure, dreaneis had some pretty terrible @**@ happen to em, but humans have basically been decimated in the past 10 years in azeroth. Really wouldn't wanna be a farmer for stormwind right now...

Where would you really not want to live in Azeroth?

Yeah Humans have had a tough time. But so did Orcs, Draenei, Blood Elves, Night Elves, Trolls, Gnomes and Forsaken. And I suspect Dwarves did too. I'm not big on Tauren lore, but I think they got off pretty lightly compared to the others.
