Just before you kill him, Gallywix says this:
On victory:
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: Uncle! Uncle! I give! You guys are too much for me!
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: I'm beaten. You've shown me the error of my ways. From here on out, I promise to reform the way that the cartel is run!
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: I'm your goblin, Thrall. What would you have of me?
Thrall grunts and thinks a moment on what to do with the Trade prince.
Thrall yells: For now, you will remain the Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel.
Thrall yells: I will send a representative from amongst your people to the new warchief, Garrosh Hellscream in Orgrimmar.
Thrall yells: You will have a new home in Azshara and the Bilgewater Cartel will be part of the Horde!
Trade Prince Gallywix yells: It will be as you say! Long live the Bilgewater Cartel! For the Horde!
They both disappear. Apparently, it was enough for Thrall.
Also, meant to link this earlier and forgot, from the Battle for Gilneas for Liam Greymane:
"The Forsaken think we're weak, a broken people. They think we'll roll over like a scared dog... how wrong they are. We will fight them in the fields until the last trench collapses and the last cannon is silenced. We will fight them on the streets until the last shot is fired, and when there is no more ammunition, we'll crush their skulls with the stones that pave our city. We will fight them in the alleys until our knuckles are skinned and bloodied, and our rapiers lay on the ground, shattered. And if we find ourselves surrounded and disarmed, wounded and without hope; we will lift our heads in defiance and spit in their faces. But we will never surrender! FOR GILNEAS!"Yes, it's ripped from the real world...but still epic heh. And damn Sylvanas....

I don't know, that's so... cartoonish. (The goblin part of course, the speech is frakkin' epic).

Eh, it's Blizzard heh; of course, you never see Gallywix in Azshara so....it's possible someone has killed him by now. Hopefully Sassy; out of all of them, she was my favorite of the Bilgewater Goblins.

Well, given that Sassy's the PC's second-in-command and it was the PC who is supposed to be the leader (after being, as you put it, 'the hero of it all') I second that.

You know, the end of both the Gilneas and Lost Isles made me think of
Ending Their World
and
The Unwritten Prophecy
from Bloodmyst...you know, how it's only done by the actual race heh, as any non-Draenei who do Ending Their World doesn't have the next step. Compared to the Blood Elf, you realize that the ending there was a little...lacking. Still, I enjoyed them.

Sounds epic, and correct me if I am wrong, though I am pretty sure I am right, but that speech is essentially a modified quote from Winston Churchill. Not really entirely sure anymore, but I believe it is, and a damn epic one at that too.

Yeah it is.

So, is Thrall's re-installing Gallywix as the leader justified by anything? At all?
On another note, it's possible that he simply dosn't think he has time to worry about it. He was a little pressed for time at the time of the event, I think - being that he has to keep Deepholme from crashing into Azeroth and all. So, instead of having to preside or even deal with whatever the goblins would have to do to instate a new Trade Prince he decides to just let him live - untill he has time to resolve the problem or Gallywix messes up again and someone finally takes him out.

He tries to let the other races of the Horde have their autonomy. That's why he doesn't simply depose of Sylvanas or Varimathras. He only gets involved when a line is crossed, like the Wrathgate.
He'll let the goblins handle their own political problem until it harms the Horde.

I was wondering how much theothetically would a Gilnean Druid actually know, and aside from what they can learn in game how much could they lore wise really learn?

Remember, Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem only started as a druid somewhere between Warcraft 3 and WoW.
In Cataclysm, most worgen druids will be relatively new and inexperienced, but there's nothing stopping them from rising in power in the coming years.

Remember, most Night Elf druids have been druid for thousands and thousands of years. Worgen have been for not even one.

In a few hundred years.

they are (relatively speaking) the most amateur druid race ATM.
Night elves have been the only druidic race for the past 10000 years, taurens have been druids for the past 10 years or so.
Trolls have been druids for the past 4 to 5 years, and worgens have been druids for like a year or something.
as others have said though, they have the potential to be as powerfull as any other druid race, they just need the willingness to learn, and of course to keep their inner beast at bay. Humans are a rather adaptive race, and gilneans are proof of that.
prior to the infection, worgen druids at best were trained by that harvest witch, who likely knows only the most basic of the basic about druidism, the real stuff comes from the night elves.
I suspect this is why on hyjal, you only see night elves and tauren, they need experienced druids, not rookies, to defend the world tree. ( I could be wrong, so far I've only done like 10 quests in hyjal, and so far havent' seen any worgen or troll druid)
So they have the capability to do everything elves etc can do?
as much as draenei have the capability to do everything an orc shaman does, however, in both cases (worgen druids, and draenei shaman) this capability won't just come overnight, don't expect to see any "hardcore" worgen druids for now, not untill at least a couple of years.
much the same way that (excluding nobundo) we didn't really saw a powerful draenei shaman (or any draenei shaman at all) untill wrath and cata came along and brought powerful draenei shaman by the dozens.
(Disclaimer: this doesn't apply to dwarven shamans, wich have been shown multiple powerfull of them already, because wildhammer shaman have been shamans for hundreds of years, but I bet ya it's gonna be a LONG time before we see a powerful Ironforge shaman)

In all fairness, tauren or troll shaman would be a much better example, as their shamanistic/voodoo practices never had a significant gap between them, as the orcs lost contact with the spirits after drinking the blood of Mannoroth and exterminating the draenei. ;)

Anyone know why Crowley sounds like he's just had his teeth punched in?
