In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
a. Killing members of the group;
b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Sylvanas’ intent as per A Good War:
Taking the World Tree was a way to inflict a wound that could never heal. Losing their homes and their leaders would have ended the kaldorei as a nation, if not a people. Even the loss of one leader would have been enough to create a tide of despair.
At the end of this Blizzard already seems to consider him completely redeemed and so of course he will have the good guy plot armor where nothing happens to him. Even if he dies it won’t be in shame or retribution it would be some self-sacrifice that I am supposed to feel sad about.
Well, he might just get that honorable death he’s been wanting, so no garauntee that he’ll survive BfA. Also, don’t you dare talk about Plot-Armor with some of that nonsense that Malf has went through recently. Most A and B list Alliance characters have just as much plot-armor as any Horde character does. Blizz couldn’t even kill ONE of your main characters; so they had to kill off some dime-a-dozen Warden (and build a character to kill off in a book).
Outside of that, regardless of what happens to Saufang … I’m VERY glad YOU will not get what you want from his conclusion.
Alliance player base is quite used to the Horde favouritism. We know Horde’s genocides will never have any sort of resolution or consequence of all the Horde players celebrating it.
You included.
The only thing that sucks for both factions is the virtue signalling. That I can agree both sides suffer from.
We’re going through WC’s like a fat kid through a cake-mine, our leaders are basically Alliance since they conspire with them against actual Horde characters for the sake of “muh Honor” which is just another indirect way to get chummy with the Alliance, and our WC’s attack said leaders (when irrelevant - Thrall) for no reason just to force bad plot points.
There’s certainly no Horde favoritism here just because we get a few poorly written cinematics.
I dislike Saurfang as much as any ally, though for different reasons. He plays both sides of the fence about as well as an amputee plays the piano.
