If you think killing children and civilians is justified then there should not be any discussions to broach with you - I hope everyone else who bothers to post on these forums sees the futility of reasoning with your ilk.
Right, so therefore you want to kill more children to beget what end, exactly? Be as monstrous and depraved? Your entire string of reasoning is flawed, immoral and repugnant.
I do not view horde children any different than imps of the burning legion.
They are just tiny blood thirsty monsters that need to be put down.
Did that in Cataclysm. The Horde decided that was the wrong approach. Hence why all the Night Elves died. If the story was written fairly the Horde would have paid dearly for that.
Horde players like you were memeing about teldrassil since its reveal.
But I do the same with couple of Horde “”""“innocents”"""" yall lose your damn minds.
Fight fire with fire as I like to say.
If your enemy aims low then aim lower to knee cap them.
I would like to think when the Horde’s families and loved ones are dead due to their actions they would think twice before coming out of their mud huts.
I just don’t see it that way.
Velen is a fool and Illidan proved him wrong in his impassive stance and letting everything roll over him.
The reason the Horde is allowed to constantly attack and wipe out massive Alliance population centers is because they bear no risk.
If they fail they get a lecture, sent back to their homes and given time to plot the next attack.
But if the Alliance firebombed them after the second time they would weight the risk and reward for another war.
You’re giving the Alliance too much credit by making it sound that easy. Alot on both sides would die just for the sake of vengeance. If it’s you who breaks peace just to gain revenge or to make they they can’t do something bad again then all blood’s on your hands. Plus it wouldn’t work, as someone on the Horde would think back to that one time Alliance broke peace and killed a bunch of people and used that as a rallying cry for another war.
In the end you’d be just another bloody crank on the endless violence circle.
Sky Admiral Rogers: “The Horde must face justice!”
Genn Greymane: “I agree. We must bring Sylvanas to justice, and reclaim Gilneas!”
Tyrande Whisperwind: “My people will not rest until Sylvanas feels our retribution.”
In universe characterization of Pheandra’s posts: “Guys! Guys! I wrote this book. It’s called “A Modest Proposal”. I know you’re going to think it is satire… but… it’s totes not.” Meme-laser-eyes
It would be incredibly easy.
Remember Siege of Dazaralor?
Imagine as they retreated they left hidden Azerite bombs across the city.
When the Horde counter attack begins they would blow them up leaving the city, its infrastructure and citizens in ruins along with the Horde army.
Alliance already dies in massive numbers whether they treat the Horde with love and compassion regardless. What you say makes no sense.
The Horde barely needs a reason to make a rallying cry for another war.
Don’t kid yourself man. At least this time my factions will be ready for it rather than be shocked by the sucker punch.
The entire machine of this violence circle is made of the Horde’s many, many cranks. I think my crank is the one that would finally break it.
I remember the Alliance sending one of the best swordsman from the Lightforged on a suicide mission to distract the bulk of the Horde army out of the city so the Alliance could attack.
Even with that, you still lost a paladin, a mage, a monk, some tidesages, and a bunch of troops. Not to mention Mechatorque and Jaina coming close to death.
Seems like a pretty heavy butcher’s bill which accomplished very little.
It probably would have just angered the Zandalari more than the current canon attack already did and accomplished very little. They still would have joined the Horde and Sylvanas’s call for further bloodshed against the Alliance for the sake of payback would have garnered more sympathy.
You think so? Sylvanas’s destruction of Teldrassil was not nearly as bloody or shocking when you compare it to the antics of the Horde during the 1st or 2nd war, yet the Alliance were still “OMG!”
You would be wrong.
EDIT: I’m not going to get pulled deeper into a “My faction would beat your faction” speculative debate that has no basis on fact other than fanboi gushing on our respective factions. The basic truth is that the people who perpetuate the war are the ones doomed to lose in the end but they’re not going to kill off either faction.
Even further, by all accounts, Alliance are doomed to be the forever forgiving always nice guys while Blizzard is busy drafting a way to villain bat the Horde again.
I honestly don’t care.
Their people and city would be in ruins.
By the time they get back on their feet it would be too late.
Exactly. So better to try and exterminate the Horde.
So all this talk of children and innocents is nonesense.
And yet Alliance treating the Horde fairly at the end of Cata blew in their face spectacularly.
Look at Jaina, she sacrificed her father and still the Horde destroyed everything she loved.
You can’t work with the Horde. Its just not possible.
You have to punish them.
