Are getting of easy for all the evil they done since the wrath gate and the use of blight on more than one occasion and not to forget the evil that their doing to the humans of hillsbrad, while also remembering the evil they did to those that lived in SS.

I feel like the current Forsaken are trying to rebrand themselves as the âkinder, gentler I just need your brains zombies.â

The Forsaken were subject to the whims of the same writer/writers who made Sylvanas progressively worse. And it would not be fair to punish players who pay the same $15 a month that I do because of that. That being said, a cinematic of a Forsaken army being wiped out by the humans and Night Elves would bring a smile to my face.

Really we should have liberated Gilneas from the Forsaken that remained loyal to Sly.
Bolvar fordragon would have won that fight easily.

Now, now be nice to the Pallid Lady. She is of course your leader! She may even learn how to raise Light undead and that will be handy for the upcoming apocalypse that Xal is conjuring. Youâll need her holy light to guide you all from your lives of sin and wickedness! She even cleansed Lordaeron of much of the blight! Isnât she just the best?

You should be happy to have Lady Calia she has taught you to be the kinder, gentler and more polite zombie. You know like the kind that says please and thank you after eating their victimâs brain.

I mean, their city was destroyed, their people forced to evacuate to Orgrimmar, Sylvanas betrayed then, and worse of allâŚ
They have Calia Menethil walking around going, âHow do you do, my fellow undead?â
To be honest, I think Blizzard was EXCESSIVE in the punishment department, particularly that last part.

Calia reclaimed it and yet the Night elves are still without a home.
They are still farming humans in hillbrad and have never face judgment for those they murder in SS or the seige they commit against Gilneas. So I disagree as they clearly got off easy considering the crimes they continue to commit with no remorse.

BelâAran or whatever its called.
Thereâs no evidence theyâre, âfarming humans,â in Hillsbrad. The quests had you free or kill them. There was nothing in those quests about keeping them.
The Forsaken also helped to reclaim Gilneas, so you know. That probably washes their hands of having laid siege to it to begin with, which they wouldnât have likely done if it werenât Garrosh forcing them to.
Cataclysm was a long, long time ago. Yeah, the Forsaken got up to some really bad stuff back then. Most of it has been pushed off on Garrosh or Sylvanas. Even the Argent Crusade ultimately took the approach of, âHrmn⌠thatâs some real Scourge level nonsense coming from the Forsaken buuuut⌠I guess weâll wait and see.â

This is a bit complicated.
There are problems with their story.
There was the whole eat their cake and have it too that Blizzard tried to pull in Cata. Where they did evil, scourge things but they were really not the scourge, but kind of were. They didnât raise and mind control undead minions, but also they kind of did. Etc. All for what Blizzard saw as âbut it is cool.â
But the bigger issue is that by and large the Forsaken stories have almost entirely been just an extension of Sylvanas for most of WoW. They were little more than her minions and were portrayed as pretty fanatical. Which would make them culpable in a lot of ways.
I would argue that if you were following the most logical response from the world, the Forsaken would probably have been mostly wiped out. Most of the world (even beyond the Alliance) would hate them and see them as basically another scourge. But we canât do that. Much of that story arc was Blizzard ignoring logic in favor of what they viewed as âcool.â Rule of cool can create real narrative issues, and it certainly did.
At this point, it really makes the most sense and causes the least issue for players if we just ignore the bad writing choices in the past and look to the future. Sure, we hand wave away a lot of it by just putting it on Sylvanas. And that doesnât feel like it makes sense. But it is also the least bad option left by those past poor choices.

Letâs be honest. The Forsaken are not going to be shown to be zombie fascists ever again like they were in Cata and BfA.
If we want to punish people, we can start with the elves, all of whom have done similar crimes on trolls.
Nobody gets punished in WoW. Itâs a war crime simulator.
