Not sure why you think the story is heading in this direction. I mean history says yes, but narratively it’s stopping because both Anduin/Jaina and Saurfang/Thrall wished it so.
You and what army? The army of angry farmers? Yeeeaaaa, no.
Remember, the Horde is a faction starved of resources, that’s why they are even in the NE forests to begin with, and you want to tax them further? Tax all the innocent civilians who are just trying to scrape by while hammering how bad they are? Gee, I can’t see that eventually backfiring on y’all at all.
Believe it or not, that is not what we “want” to be doing. This isn’t the favor of the writers, this is a punishment. We’re written as noble savages–except when we go crazy and kill everything–oh wait no, we have honor–oh wait no, we don’t.
sylvie did that. which means you should be upset with people like me who support sylvie and not people like bipzi that are all honorable horde. jaina genocided belves too and it’s lore now but i don’t see you guys making apology threads. it’s strange how everything you guys do seems to be justified but you blame the actions of a few on the entire horde.
Of course half-hearted apologies don’t cut it, but punishing civvies by taxing them to death when the system is already strained is a perfect recipe to breed resentment and anger… and justifiably so.
Oh come on. Jaina murdered a bunch of belves. That wasn’t genocide.
Burning down Silvermoon with all the civilians and most of the race population either inside or being cut down by the invading army outside would be genocide. That was the Scourge.
i’m just going by alliance rules. apparently killing more than a handful of people is genocide. if they stop saying it i’ll stop saying it. and lets not even talk about all the orcs they killed in camps. but ofc that is justified in their minds as well.
edit: also they can say it was the alliance of lordaeron not them but then why are they blaming you guys who are thralls horde for stuff sylvie’s horde did?
Hey there. Have you seen the trailer? Where Sylvanas literally saves Varian’s life and it almost costs her her own?
By sounding a retreat, frankly we saved the Alliance. It was a trap we fell in. Staying to fight would have wiped us all out. As it was, we lost troops and our leaders instead of being totally destroyed.
Don’t play that particular tired violin string, it never held up.
I’ve noted this is a common theme with Alliance posters, they just lump us all together. I mean when I saw the tree burn I was HORRIFIED, and the vast majority of Hordies I play with where as well. It was a huge “WTF” moment and I’ve been super vocal about my dislike of Sylvanas since the Wrathgate. Yet people seem content to lump all of us together while I’d like nothing better than to set Sylvanas on FIRE with the Holy Light until she is nothing but ash… and by extension all her supporters. Hmm… I do wonder what fire roasted Orc tastes like.
Yeah, see, funny thing: That already happened to the Blood Elves. Their population was already decimated. Then, on top of that, Jaina started exterminating the Sunreavers because Garrosh decided to attack Theramore. She just got pissed and started slaughtering people who had nothing to do with it.
But I guess Sylvanas, who firebombed a military target full of Night Elves, is the worst thing ever to walk Azeroth? Please. If every able bodied Night Elf in that tree stood to defend Darkshore Teldrassil would still be standing. The same can’t be said for Quel’thalas. There was no hope of victory against the Scourge.
