In BfA, the Night Elves lost their zones, their home, their influence on Kalimdor and most of their people were killed in a genocide.
We complained, we asked for a resolution, we wanted justice and maybe some positive development and we were told to wait and see. We were told that things would be going in the “right” direction.
Now that we waited and saw how everything turned out. We got none of the above. Nothing.
We magically forgave the Horde and let them keep Ashenvale so that we can focus on Sylvanas instead, because apparently she did everything alone
Now Sylvanas is also absolved of her crimes, and not only forgiven by Thrall and Jaina, but even by Tyrande as a later chapter in the campaign reveals.
We never got a new home or our zones back
The Night Elf souls, except a lucky few that we saved, were obliterated in the maw
Tyrande was abandoned by Elune when she needed her to bring Sylvanas to justice and then lost, just like Elune abandoned the Night Elf souls to be obliterated in the maw.
Happy now? All we wanted was some sort of resolution and bring a few of those war criminals to justice. We were denied everything. Every. Single. Thing. Every potential positive development.
Can we just retcon Teldrassil at this point? I mean since it never got any closure or resolution, it wouldn’t even be noticable. You can burn the tree without having the Night Elves be brought to near extinction with it.
This is just disgusting, and I can’t believe anyone would think that Blizzard doesn’t hate Night Elves at this point with how they refused to give them positive development for over 3 years now after they took everything from the race.
I’m disgusted, but I have been for the last years. This didn’t really come as a surprise to me. And I’m not saying that other parts of the fanbase weren’t wronged by this recent development.
At this point I don’t think anyone can tell us that everything will be okay in the future anymore though.
The potential for a resolution for the Night Elves died, and with it the future of the race. It’s over.
I just find it impressive how they refuse to give the night elves anything in any aspect at all. No revenge, no justice, no resolution, rebuilding, nothing at all.
They made us wait for 4 years for justice and now Tyrande says “Actually I don’t even want justice anymore”.
I didn’t read the entire book, just the night elf bits. The only night elf related things in there was the Sira part in Stormwind and the meeting between Thrall and Tyrande where Thrall makes a promise that he doesn’t keep.
Actually currently Lordaeron is a place where Dark Rangers like Delaryn (Kaldorei traitors) are now living. And in the end of BfA Calia told that she will take a good care of them IN THE HORDE.
So, Lordaeron is in the Horde hands, officially.
No it’s not. It’s up to the writers lol. And they intentionally sent Thrall and Jaina to immediately forgive her, but also have Tyrande forgive her in a later chapter or atleast be ready to.
If you feel so strongly about the story in a video game… then I suggest getting some fresh air. It’s been pretty bad for a long time, but now it’s just cringeworthy.
People like to discuss whether vengeance is good or bad. What if Thrall says:
“Not one more cursed word, Banshee. This ends now!”
and beheads her.
Then later, we learn she had the secret to defeat Zovaal, but we didn’t listen, and then Azeroth is destroyed, and the few survivors are left floating on the Vindicaar.
Would that satisfy those who require revenge above all else?
