I want a choice to follow Tyrande/Genn

When have they not?

Agreed. But she said

Thunderbluff/Baine is still horde.

The noble Tauren are the one and only Horde race I would even consider letting live, let alone actually join up.
As for the rest of you


FORGET IT!

And there was plenty that Sylvannas could have done to make that happen. All she had to do was take a fragment of corruption from the Nightmare and plant it at Teldrassil at the start of the occupation. As the tree became hopelessly corrupted, the detained Kal’dorei (already riled up by thoughts of revolution) would have burned their own home.

At the Lordaeron retaliation, Anduin could have been caught in Sylvanas’s trap (or rather, could have slain her and fallen into the trap as a result) and been driven mad like Bolvar from the combination of agonizing plague gnawing as his body while the light kept him alive. This would have made a power grab by Genn more compelling during the continued hostilities of the expansion.

But we’re here now. Honestly, at this point the only satisfying option is probably to let all the players drop their flags and handle factions like they did with the Scryers and Aldor in Burning Crusade: voluntary membership based on ideology but required membership in one to progress.

Judging by the uselessness that is Malfurion in the Emerald Nightmare and the tendril of corruption currently there, the NE would walk away like pansies from that as well.

Ah, don’t get me on a rant about the Stormrage brothers.
However, there is precedent of the Kal’dorei destroying a world tree that became corrupted. The world tree Vandrassil (which would become Vordrassil in Grizzly Hills) was seen to be corrupted by Yogg Saron and was promptly destroyed by night elf druids.

The issue is the presentation of all diplomacy as hammers against locked doors; there was opportunity to make Sylvanas sinister without being psychotic, there was opportunity to demonstrate dissent behind the gold and blue of the Alliance masonry (give them some stairway cracks in the foundation). The problem is the recent writing seems to boil all of the lore characters down into three roles: ‘Evil Horde Warchief’, ‘Cowering Masses’, and ‘Hive-minded Alliance Leader’. Honestly, the reactions of the Alliance leaders during this expansion were plug-and-play. If you’d taken Anduin’s lines and given them to Velen, or Muradin, or Gelbin, or Jaina, would the scene have changed? The answer is no, and that’s the problem.

If you’re following Genn, you’re following Anduin at this point.

Damn, i love your lore knowledge sir!
I had forgotten all about Vandrassil.
But it would take old god level corruption for them to sacrifice Teldrassil, or an invasion by an Eredar.

At the moment I care very little about the horde.

I want the head of the banshe and his loyalists.

if the horde interferes I will separate them with the sword if necessary.

if Tyrande or Genn decide to attack the horde, it won’t help them but I won’t stop them either.

Please let us side with tyrande/genn to get justice for those murdered and get our lands back.

I don’t want to make peace with those that write the genocide of the night elves as a glorious victory in their history books.

:+1:, as I am all out of likes, Eles
I will have peace when I see our forests regrown, fertilized by the Horde’s rotting corpses.
That is my peace.
These are my words.

I dont want her to attack the Tauren personally. That would make very little sense and more in line with what sylvanas has become, spiteful for the sake of spite. Tyrande wants revenge, not to be evil. Have her rip off nathanos’s head in front of Sylvanas and let the banshee queen feel even the slightest bit of emotion besides cruel.
That would be a very interesting cinematic.

 what? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Thrall had the right idea: Let the Orcs go back to Outland. Let them become farmers and builders and rebuild and heal the world they ruined.
Their spellcasters can learn to drain away the fel magics
Points at the blood elves
Take those abominations with you!
you’ll need jesters and other light entertainment.

I wouldn’t say Genn was a meme, he is actually a good character, just people like to jump the gun before actually sitting down and look at his character
