Blood Elves are scudgy; Oh woe is me, my prince went insane and we followed him, then when he didn't give us the quick fix, we jumped ship to the Horde.
High Elves.... I can see that.

I know everyone thinks of the Draenei, and that's for good reason. Then the Blood/High Elves come to mind. But really, I think the Orcs have had it pretty rough, honestly.
First they get duped into helping the Burning Legion, thinking that what they are doing is for a good cause
The elements and their ancestors abandon them, and at the time they didn't know why
Next, they're betrayed by Kil'jaeden, leaving them cold and hungry
They are slaves to the bloodlust and are duped again by the Legion, leading them to kill countless thousands
Then they get betrayed by Gul'dan, the one who they thought wanted only the best for them
They are nearly wiped out completely during the Second War
Then they go into lethargy, internment and slavery in the aftermath of the war
Then they try to make a home for themselves on Kalimdor, only to be attacked by the Night Elves for it
They finally make a home and get attacked again by Admiral Proudmoore
And they're still viewed as bloodthirsty monster-aliens by most of the Alliance

You left out the part where they slaughtered 80% of the Draenei race Hivoltage. Sorry, but duped or not, they are directly responsible for one of the reason's the Draenei are the true rough race of Azeroth. Hell, the fact that the Draenei don't go around screaming for the head's of every orc and Blood Elf (after Kil'jaeden's assault on Tempest Keep) proves that compared to the other races, they do take the long view are willing to forgive.

Yeah I left it out, for a purpose... to illustrate that it all hasn't been milk and cookies with the Orcs either.
Everyone has already explained why the Draenei have it bad, I just wanted to help share the other side of the story.

Can't leave something like that out, it's an important part of the Orc heritage now, you might not like, but it's always going to be there. And Thrall is intent on figuring out some way to make it up to the Draenei so it's part of the Orc redemption as well.

I don't see why I can't leave it out. I know that Thrall is actively trying to make it up, and that it's become a part of the Orcish heritage. But, it doesn't exactly illustrate hardship for the Orcs, which is what I was trying to get across.

Guys, guys, you have said who has
had
it rough... but who is having it rough now?
Gnomes
Everywhere i look beat, punch, throw, eat, kill a gnome.
Come on, they were kicked out of their home by lev 24 - 35 mobs *cough*
Then technically the Trolls have it worse, being beaten out of their islands by level 9-10 mobs, and they're the least played race in the game.

Wisps.
Malfurion:
"Go commit mass-suicide on that giant, flaming demon so that by your deaths we can live to screw up the world again on another day."
Wisps:
"But, but, but . . ."
Malfurion:
"NOW!"
Have I ushered in an Era of sarcastic Lore comments? :O
Also, wisps are total slaves to the Night Elves. They have no choice in what to do with their lives!
Nelves:
"Build me a purty home, zomglols! Can i hav sum gold 2? We need mor wud!1one! Dont ferget mi temple! Will u shapshift urself in 2 a gint tree to protekt me frum baddies?"
Wisps:
"But . . . I've got a wive and children! I should be home taking care of them! I enjoy my life as a wisp, I don't want to morph into an
Ancient of War
!"
Nelves:

The furbolgs in Grizzley hills have had it bad. From a peaceful existance for thousends of years, to now there community in grizzley hills all being driven mad, killing each other, and with nothing it seems that could save them from there maddness, they would all eventully die out from killing one another, then each other.
But on a character note, I would say the ones who had it worst were the orcs and the draenei.

The orcs were duped by kil'jaeden, there spiritality lost, and turned into a savage army craving bloodlust. Has anyone ever given a thought to the fact, that if the draenei hadn't come to draenor to escape the burning legion in the first place, then the orcs would never have been corrupted, and never used to kill the draenei. The biggest mistake the draenei made was thinking they could run from the burning legion, but as lore has said, every planet they fled to ended up being destroyed or corrupted by the legion and added to its numbers.
So well what happened to the draenei was tragic, it was also because of them that so many fell pray to the legion.

Yeah... as a matter of fact, all the Furblogs haven't had it too easy.

So the Draenei asked to be killed by the Orc's? Sorry Tauren, but they had no choice, they crashed landed onto Draenor, they didn't land on it and go "Oh this looks like a nice place to live." Might as well say the Jew's deserved to be killed by the Nazi's. Yeah the Orc's are a sad story, but still, the Draenei are far sadder then the Orc's. Yes, the Draenei ran from the Legion, but seeing as the only other thing would have been to give up and let the Legion kill them, I think they did the right thing.

I have been doing a tonne of sarcastic dialogue things and a couple of other people followed suit. It's the "in" thing to do I think. :)
