Azeroth autopilot sided with saurfang

Why at level 120 while doing probably the most important content to date, the actual story, did you think it was OK to use an auto guide that does everything for you?

Here is what I do, I use Wow Pro, ConsLegion and AAP in some variety to level up to 120, I than use it for the first X in each area until I am sufficiently geared and have done some, most or all of the Loremaster quests in some or all of the areas, depending on how I am feeling.

Than I just turn it off.

It is much better once you are capable of running around and not dying outside Warmode to do it all manually, you get to see stuff that AAP may miss, you get to explore and figure things out so next time you know what to do without being on autopilot.

And you feel more like stopping and smelling the roses rather than just follow that arrow around like a drone.

I get the sense you won’t be convinced, but here’s a shot at it anyway:

The objective was to kill Malfurion to break their morale and establish occupation of Teldrassil. Because Malfurion was not slain, Sylvanas was going to be proceeding into occupation without having accomplished this broken morale, meaning it was going to be more difficult.

Delaryn tells Sylvanas that she can’t kill hope. What she means by this is that the Kaldorei were never going to stop fighting for Teldrassil, no matter what Sylvanas did to break their morale. They would always be a problem. So instead of dealing with a flimsy occupation, Sylvanas torched it. A charred stump leaves nothing to occupy, nothing to take back.

The thing is that Delaryn was absolutley right-- the Night Elves were never going to give up. The Darkshore warfront is proof of that, because even with Teldrassil gone, the night elves are still fighting to reclaim their land. If they were going to do that despite losing Teldrassil, they certainly were going to if it were still something they could take back.

Call it a child’s tantrum if you want, but anyone with a shred of historical literacy knows that there’s no such thing as a plan that survives after contact with the enemy. You have to be willing to change on the fly.

The smart thing for Delaryn would’ve been to shut her mouth, say nothing as Sylvanas and the Horde walked into a bad idea by occupying Teldrassil.

ha ha hahahaha ha haha

using a levelling addon oh hahaha haha ha

Honestly when it came time for my Priest to choose between the two. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Both from what I the player think and what the character would have thought. Ultimately I had to support the traitor.

My BE Priest is loyal to Silvermoon. Not the Horde. Not Sylvanas. She’s also a healer not a harmer. As demonstrated by literally standing their while Saurfang and Zappy did the killing.

Saurfang is not a traitor.

I support AAP’s choice. The writers intend on sylvanas being evil, but blizzard is making it seem like a more interesting and edgy choice.

Open to debate. That he had help from the Alliance and is ostensibly working with them to topple the current Horde regime does make him a traitor. That and he abandoned his post too.

Under wartime conditions too. We may not agree with Sylvanas’ actions but Saurfangs actions were also wrong. He didn’t betray Sylvanas but he betrayed the Horde.

Yes he is.

Then so was Vol’jin and every player character in MOP that ran Siege of Orgrimmar.

Probably my guess why Azeroth autopilot choose this choice.

And this is why you don’t use Azeroth Autopilot.

Well firstly because it’s automation (if the game is doing stuff for you without any input from you, that is technically classified as automation which is against the ToU) secondly because of scenarios like these, which if Blizzard chooses to expand them going forward, could lead to you not getting rewards that you want because the addon picks quests up for you without your input.

I am only upset there was no option to attack Saurfang .

I chose Saurfang mainly because Sylvanas doesn’t have the best interests of the horde in mind.

She sees them as a means to an end, a tool, objects. So I picked him over her.

Nope… as Garrosh was breaking the horde apart by discriminating against everyone except the Orcs and Taurens

You mean leading the Horde in a direction that contradicted what it was supposed to be?

Sounds awfully familiar and not like we’re seeing that right now.

I don’t see any thing seeing with Syl’s actions … she is trying to win the war and crush the alliance . I support that . She has not tried to kick any faction of the horde out like Garrosh did it break the horde

What’s the difference between lining up Darkspear Trolls in firing squads and knowingly using biologic weapons on your own troops?

Syl nearly destroyed the alliance army and leadership at Undercity…sacrificing some troops for winning the war is standard warfare

Collateral damage is one thing, but using something that will reanimate them as undead constructs?

At what point does your ‘standard warfare’ start to veer into ‘desecration of corpses’?

Intention? Her goal wasn’t to kill members of the Horde as Garrosh’s was.
