The lack of any emotional filler text or a reflection of uncertainty of the general Alliance populace in not assisting their allies during this dark time really made it hard to get immersed in BFA. The world building and driving of a narrative was just bad overall.
Tyrande should have killed Nathanos with the Valk sacrificing herself to rez him. They were incredibly tone deaf with having Tyrande lose to this guy.

I think Tyrande will survive tbh, and go on to regard the Horde with wariness, but focus on rebuilding her peopleâs society. I might be wrong.
Anyway surprised to see some LGBT representation. I think Iâd reached the point where I simply didnât think itâd happen. I guess itâs a big middle finger to the minority of RPers who still say LGBT relationships donât canonically exist in Warcraft haha. Like, nope, you canât do crappy âIC is IC :3â persecution now, you jerks.
Itâd be nice to get representation that isnât pre-fridged people and doesnât undermine female authority but

They deserve to be laughed at in their face as well 
Iâm not so sure. She seems to be going down the same path as MaievâŚwhich is pretty hilarious to me. The difference is that she doesnât have Naisha to sacrifice herself when things come crumbling down. Oh my LightâŚShandris could be her Naisha!
There was a lot of foreshadowing in BFA with the ritual and now in SL leaks were getting even more foreshadowing that the Night Warrior is not a good thing.
Rastakhan was written to die, I think the Night Warrior was also written to die.

Tyrande strikes me as the great hero - the type to overcome that, but I may be very wrong. I donât really mind either way though. What they do, I just hope they make it interesting and fulfilling.

She is a great hero and itâll be interesting to see where they take her. Concerned with how itâs going to be handled with her story in the Maw.
I really donât appreciate Blizzard essentially writing all the women as crazy. If thatâs where they take her, Night Elf players deserve to blast them.

I got super liked by 8 people Iâve never seen before and theyâre not even my alts. Wild.
Agreed on this. Tyrandeâs anger, like Jainaâs to be honest, is quite justified. Does it cause political issues? Yep. Do others have a right to object to it or suggest a more peaceful alternative? Yep. Does it make her a hysterical woman? Hell no. It is a disturbing trend honestly.
That said, Jaina? Her story came full circle really nicely. Maybe Tyrandeâs will too.

I am absolutely baffled when I encounter anyone who has optimism about WoW or Blizzard, absolutely baffled. Without contempt or judgment⌠I just donât get it. And I envy it, I really do.
Yeah but Iâve found good amidst the bad, and generally had fun. A lot of it made myself in RP and all, because I still love the overall universe of WoW. To be honest if I wasnât more happy than not I wouldnât be here. I find it insanely depressing to talk about games I donât like, or stories which have lost all magic for me. I just⌠wonât do it, after a period of time. No point dwelling on stuff that sucks, you know?
I enjoyed bits of BFA. I enjoyed Legion. Iâm hopeful that Iâll enjoy Shadowlands too. Iâm not as blindly optimistic as I was going into BFA, but⌠I think thereâs a good chance itâll be fun.
If itâs not, you probably wonât see me around that much. Haha
They did tyrande dirty.

The funny part about this line of thinking is that if they didnât care then they wouldnât be outraged. Clearly they do care and just think that is wrong.
I legit donât care because Blizzard doesnât have the subtlety to write a PG rated romance of any flavor. I donât have faith in the writing team to come up with anything better than two heavy metal album covers getting in a fight.
EDIT: to be clear I have no problem with them being in the game, just saying that if the whole storyline is written like Tyrande and Malfurion in Legion Iâm going to be rolling my eyes so hard theyâll be a centrifuge separating them into base fluids.
The sad thing is that them calling each other their love wasnât anything new. They did that in WC3 pretty frequently. That Legion quest was just awful and, imo, pretty out of character for Tyrande. Though at the same time, Xavius mocking their âMUH LOVEâ talk was a bit funny.

It was out of character and just highlights that itâs what Blizzard thinks romance looks like. I also have no problem with Xavius going hypertroll on them, though I have to wonder if his role in that was to point out that theyâre aware at how bad the writing was. Could they be that self aware?

Probably. They might be working on new romances to try and improve and the Tyrande/Malfurion partnership could be them mocking their classic style of handling romance. Could also be a case of them not knowing how to write Tyrande.
I didnât actually mind the Tyrande/Malfurion stuff in Legion
xD
I didnât mind Xavius mocking them, I just donât think it was in character for Tyrande to act the way she did. It was another âHush Tyrandeâ and âTyrandes Silenceâ all over again. At least for me.
The writing team is fine. The problem with the gameâs writing is that the upper devs are making Axe Cop fanfiction and have relegated the actual writers to cleanup duty.
