LOL here you are complaining about not existing because of what happens to bastion and that makes you want to make everyone else not exist.

Presumably, the angel/valâkyr theming of Bastion is supposed to engender positive feelings from the players, but itâs just the surface of an authoritarian hellscape from what Iâve seen. Though I suppose it remains to be seen if Blizzard actually recognizes the implications of what theyâve written, or if theyâre taking the attitude of âitâs okay for utopia to be an authoritarian hellscape because itâs utopia and that makes it good by definition!â
Given how much theyâd prefer players just sit down, shut up, and do as theyâre told, Iâm guessing theyâre not going to recognize that rigid authoritarianism is bad.

Once, the Jailer kept only the most dangerous souls in the cosmos confined in this eternal prison. Now, some of Azerothâs greatest heroes are trapped here, and youâll need to rescue them from the Jailerâs tower before he expends their very souls.
Torghast the Tower of the Damned doesnât simply torture everyone as it expends their Souls which naturally kills them deader than dead!
Its religion like I keep saying, are you gonna tell hindus that there relgion is authoriatrian hellscape lol? bastion is the training grounds for spirithealers and the like, (they become ready for an eternity of service as a Valâkyr, spirit healer, or one of a couple of other paths) I know its hard to grasp what becoming ascended is for some people but for some being cleaned of your sins, of your self and achieving a greater purpose is what some people what in life. I mean you think if you go to heaven gods is gonna let you kill other spirits, seems pretty authoritarianism too.

Hopefully Blizzard condemns Bastionâs way of doing things which naturally condemns Hindu for itâs desire to have all become Vishnu.
Hinduâs counterpart in Eastern Religion Buddhism of course wants to offer a chance to stop a thought process in itâs tracks before it can move into another entity and be reborn(the Dalai Lama thought process is going to flow into the an elected Dalai Lama so flow of thought into another person can happen while still alive)!
The Buddhists are accepting of people wanting to preserve thought processes(though discourage eating Cows as it causes their thought process to flow into the next Cow killed rather than someone else) as killing thought is not for everyone.

I donât think any of the afterlives are supposed to be appealing to mortals. The trailer even says that the shadowlands was never meant for mortal eyes. Itâs supposed to be unpleasant, weird, alien, and even horrifying. Revendreth and Maldraxxus are obvious in this, Bastion is somewhat more subtle, but as we see from the spoilers, it doesnât seem like a good place.
Iâm willing to bet Ardenwaeld will also look less appealing once we actually see what it entails. Some of those nature creatures did look quite sinister afterall.

all im getting from that is i should join sylvanas and destroy these afterlives, ending reality sounds like a mercy at this point.

WoW forums are not the place for real world religious discussions so Iâm just going to offer brief advice, but you should study world religions more as your take on enlightenment is not at all universal.

You people know you donât have to choose Bastion right? If it bothers you all so much. Maldraxxus is probably better for the lot of you.

When atheists get butthurt over a video game afterlife
The amusing part about this is that if Bastion was the Light sanctuary where all good little souls go for eternal paradise, people would still be upset.

None of them seem appealing. Maldraxxus is extreme Darwinism for eternity, Revendreth is sadism for eternity, Bastion is surrendering everything that you were in life or being cast out and hunted, and itâs only a matter of time until we get the dark side of Ardenweald Iâm sure.
