I doubt Sylvanas will last long enough to justify a new faction. She’ll either be:
A. killed like Garrosh (or in a raid or something)
B. redeemed like Kerrigan from Starcraft II, and it’ll be shown she did all of this for a “good reason” (probably what’ll happen, which barf that won’t be remotely deserved).
C. she’ll fade into obscurity like Wrathion for a while and then come back as some weird, chaotic neutral character way later.
C is unlikely, but I’m expecting one of the other two. And the sooner her fate is sealed, the better the game can get.

How is it that every tauren/pandaren player acts this level of snippyness? Dude doesn’t like the way the story is being told for his race, should delete his character.

I’m pretty polite when I’m not talking to scourge-lite actually. 
I’m not going to mince words with Sylvanas supporters.
Edit: Or ya know, trying to have game features (IE LFR/LFG) removed from the game people enjoy, just because you don’t like it. (I react poorly to those types of people too.)

None of those options give loyalist characters an out, and leave them stuck under a banner that some wouldn’t possibly support.

Someone’s gotta become Sylvanas’ Nu Scourge faction. I assume that is what the quest choices are for.

Oh I missed this, where was he asking to remove something from the game? I thought he was asking for a separate “faction” of sorts.
Like, a place for the loyalists to go besides the Horde.

I didn’t say he did?
I was correcting myself when I said I’m only rude to scourge-lite.
Which he is if he supports Sylvanas.

Cool. That’s been a lot of our lives since MoP (because WoD doesn’t really count since nothing happened). People part of Thrall’s Horde have been stuck supporting megalomaniacs bent on death and destruction. Again, I can’t sympathize since you getting your Horde meant I’ve been stuck under a banner that I didn’t support for seven years.

Unfortunately Vol’jin didn’t get a chance to pan out, he was looking promising, but Garrosh then basically straight into Sylvanas? Yikes.

Shouldn’t that mean you can sympathize because you’ve dealt with it for 7 years?
Us undead have been waiting for 16 years!

Yeah… Vol’jin was one of my favorite characters, and he got shafted almost as hard as my OTHER favorite character (Cairne…)
And his story hasn’t panned out at all yet this expansion. It just kind of hit a dead end. Poor guy was just used to prop up Sylvanas, and that feels so dirty…

Just like Carine was used to prop up Garrosh.
It isn’t new that actually interesting characters are killed off horde side to prop up idiots and psychopaths.

I think you should have had a better option than to continue to support that Horde too. All those quests you did to support that Horde had to sting.

Nah, you should just delete your character because you like something else. Or you could come to classic and just pretend like the future doesn’t happen.

I think it’s interesting to try and create a headcanon RP for why a Sylvanas loyalist would want to remain with the Horde.
Personally, I believed in Sylvanas’ actions and vision. I agree that the NE had to be removed from Kalimdor for the Horde to prosper (maybe not to that extreme…). I believe that Baine is a traitor. I believe that the war with the Alliance is warranted because I saw it as a war for resources (that the Horde is sorely lacking). That being said, I also trust in Saurfang’s loyalty to the Horde far more than Sylvanas’ vision so I’m able to live with post-Sylvanas.
However, for those that put Sylvanas’ vision above all else… I can’t really create a headRP reason why they would want to stay. Even with Sylvanas’ smack talk… it’s not enough to take away the fact that the Alliance is still the enemy.

We could be sleeper cells, acting as Horde loyalists, while secretly plotting its downfall.
We might even get 1 quest per content patch where we do some shady stuff!

I like the part where you want player agency by taking away the agency of players that didn’t go down your path. That’s neat. I mean that’s no different than what happened to you… but the writing was really on the wall that Sylvanas was gonna betray the Horde.
If you would like, I can strap you on a cheap disposable rocket aimed straight for the middle of the ocean. Would that suffice for your purposes?

And this is my issue, there isn’t a reason for some of these characters to stay, and all logic points to those who supported her actions being purged from the Horde. It is a really bad loose string in the story IMO.
