It’s still insane to me that this was the prepatch event. It was so very blatantly a core part of the expansion that they just stripped out to use as prepatch material because they didn’t have anything else.
MoP did that too, but at least they let you play that content DURING MoP as well, because it was important to the story (as well as just being content, and throwing content away is silly).
BfA just tossed that out the window if you didn’t play during the prepatch.
The alliance forum base is too sensitive to lose anyone. Blizzard knows they would riot
They couldn’t even handle doing something “bad” during BFA.
… i just don’t want characters to die for the sake of dying. but i guess people die in war. i dunno who i’d kill off now.
Just that one guy in Legion, that was about it.
He wasn’t a raid boss like the most of the Horde was.
Couldn’t it be argued the loss of Vol’jin was just as detrimental to the Horde and maybe even the Alliance as a result? He was levelheaded, stable, and intelligent (which I get was why he couldn’t have been allowed to live because we can’t have nice things).
But regardless, I bet he would have seen right through Zul’s crap at the start of the Horde’s BFA story and prevented a lot of death.
They had everything but the red shirts.
Alliance are blatantly the good guy PvE faction where everyone gets to live on. The writers have done very little to dispel that, but BFA was particularly egregious.
I don’t think they’re ever going to make up for it. In fact, if faction wars return then I suspect it will be repeated.
The Alliance has lost its soul.
IMO, I think the whole event was a colossally stupid idea and I wish it had been retconned out instead. For a two-faction game where both sides are ostensibly not supposed to be villains, having one side’s players and NPC representatives not only canonically go along with a capital G genocide, but were required to at least nominally support its war afterward, I think it ruined the intended “you can play as a hero in this fantasy game” immersion.
The kicker is that Teldrassil actually wasn’t core to the expansion at all. It was a last minute decision to write.
Yeah, Vol’jin would have found out the Alliance had Zul in prison and said “Ah, that’s good, mon. I sent emissaries to Stormwind to warn them of the Zandalari and Zul, so it’s because of me that they captured him. They did me a favor.” and would have left him there instead of sending people to rescue him.
Teldrassil?
I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
Absolutely. You bastards invaded Azeroth and caused untold deaths during the First and Second Wars.
And then invaded again during the Dark Portal.
Turalyon should have finished the job when he returned to Azeroth and wiped you guys off the face of the map. I shed no tears for the Horde. 
We didn’t lose anyone important except we though we lost Mechatorque for a bit (but he got fixed in mechagon).
BUT we had Baine for a while and that’s bad enough.
The Alliance players lost a city they absolutely did not care about (though lots of them tried to pretend, like when a parent throws away/donates a toy that has been in the closet untouched for 5 years and suddenly the kid can’t live without it), but in the game-world it was a very significant loss.
Oh, Also an Alliance leader led an Alliance military attack on the Horde during their joint war against the Legion and then followed up by taking direct action which he believed would result in the genocide of a Horde faction. Just because the Horde leader waited to retaliate until the Legion conflict was resolved does not mean the Alliance did not start the 4th war.
I still haven’t forgiven her for Wrathgate, much less any of the horrors she’s done since.
This was retconned btw to get rid of Sylvanas.
Um, no she wasn’t. She literally condemned Sylvannas to hell.
