Like, the light constantly telling a light wielder that every choice they make in service to it is the correct one? Have there ever been any examples in game or other media? I imagine someone like AU Yrel, for example, is the end result of having all of your actions in the name of the light positively reinforced and being told how awesome you are for doing what you’re doing.
I haven’t heard of the Light doing such a thing, but I am always wrong about the lore. Some people, like Velen, may receive visions from Naaru.
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Sermon_of_the_High_Exarch has even Yrel receive these visions.
Of course the Visions say that there is an infection that prevents the world’s Heart from being Whole again.
Considering how Spirit is heavily implied to be an infection within the First Ones’ Grand Design and how Draenor was kept alive by Spirit I suspect that the Naaru are trying to purge the Spirit and turn Draenor into a Titan at the expense of the land itself.

Well, people do “the Light’s bidding”, so that may well be the equivalent. It need not necessarily be the same - the end result is that you’re enacting the will/getting hints/advice/whatever from said cosmic force.

When Alleria spoke with the Nexus Walker, he basically explained that the while the Void sees countless possibilities (often leading mortals mad), the Light hones in only on one. And as the Light pretty much feeds off conviction of one’s beliefs, that is the equievelent.
At the extreme, Void is that feeling that anything is real/possible, making reality hard to discern. Meanwhile the Light at its extreme tells you that everything you believe and are doing is the one and only true path.

Well, under the new writers, the lore keeps warping into new more pretzel-like forms, so give the game enough patches and you will eventually be right about it.

Now I am wondering if Draenor is being retconned into the Final Titan…
After all N’Zoth during the Uu’nat Encounter stated:
“She is not the last, but the first. Drown her and you will see.”
Right now an infestation of Spirit is corrupting Zereth Mortis.
“Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path.”
“At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming.”
In many ways, the titans will be the easiest to manipulate. Their singular goal is to impose structure upon everything they see.
Show them a force that opposes their drive for Order, and they will be consumed by their urge to eradicate it.
Their pantheon, so seemingly united in purpose, is vulnerable to fracturing.
Didn’t Aggramar spread the effects of Spirit onto his Earth Giants turning them to Flesh when he went to eradicate the Sporemounds AKA the Denizens of Spirit due them opposing his drive for Order?
The void lords all but welcome us with open arms. They are so preoccupied with their thousand truths that they ignore the lies we sow in their very midst.
I believe we can leverage their vast reach to position them as a foil against our other rivals.
We remain wary, though. Since they are observant of multiple outcomes, it is conceivable they could anticipate our coming.
How very similar to Il’gynoth’s statements and wasn’t Il’gynoth a World Tree in Nightmare Un’Goro Crater? Malfurion even stated he did not recognize the Nightmare’s Corruption when he found it corrupting Cenarius despite having fought the Nightmare once before…
If Shadowlands ends with Azeroth’s World Soul being drowned in Spirit making her like the other Titans causing the uploaded consciousness of the First Ones to come in, analyze the transformation and point out that Azeroth was an advanced Prototype made before the other Titans then I will not be surprised.
