So why exactly was it Tirion and Bolvar being the only impotant people present when Arthas was killed? Why not Jaina, Sylvanas or any of the blood elves who had argubaly the biggest beef with him and his crimes? Feels off for me since no one got the retrtibution they wanted from it.

Because Blizzard shuffled their A team off to work on Overwatch and the people who would have paid off Sylv or Jaina’s story were probably busy having nuclear meltdowns at one another over a different game instead of caring about WoW’s money-printing press.
Tirion was set up for the whole expansion, though, and Bolvar was being tortured at the throne, so I’m not sure why either surprises you.

Because I have a long list of people who should have been there at the raid fight. Tirion setup was just bad to ham in more humans even if their connection to Arthas is slim.
I have some bad news for you
Arthas was, in fact, a human. And not just a human, but human nobility! I know, I know. Shocking stuff.
(So is Jaina)

Still Sylvanas getting the last words on his soul was Blizzard fixing their mistake. I hope she is back in Midnight.

I was waiting for the laughable troll take to rear its head. Thanks for getting to it quickly.
Still i fully believe more people should have shown up to defeat Arthas. Like properly considering how powerful the LK used to be.
Are we suuuuure Jaina’s a human tho?
I’m still 30% sure she’s a dreadlord, and 80% sure she’s Sire Denathrius.
That would imply that the writers were capable of allowing anything negative happen to Jaina, though. Or maybe the Dreadlord understood that by adopting her guise, everything it did would be retroactively just?
(And I can hear the spicy diarrhetic spew propelling people to their keyboards to correct me—I know. I don’t actually think Jaina has never had a bad thing happen to her. Welcome to the meme.)

Almost like Tirions journey is meant to contrast Arthas.
In his lowest moment Arthas willingly picked up Frostmourne, a blade he knew was cursed. Meanwhile when Tirion was at his lowest, he still had faith in the light and that faith was rewarded. That is why Arthas sought Tirion out and viewed him as his soon to be “greatest champion”. Arthas was there when Tirion got his powers “removed”. Both of these were set up prior to Wrath. Arthas was obviously in WC3 while Tirion was in the Blood and Honor short novel along with his questline in vanilla. It is also why they both wield contrasting weapons during Wrath.
Erevien failing media literacy 101 once again.
Besides, Sylvanas and Jaina were present in ICC but iirc, they were still recovering from their encounter with Arthas in the Halls of Reflection. Why would they go to the Frozen Throne when the last time they tangled with the Lich King, they almost died?
Jaina was in Icecrown actually. She was there with Varian.
Just thought I’d point that out
Yeah I know. It is why I said
The rest was sort of a lore reason why they weren’t present at the Frozen Throne to do battle against Arthas.

It’s 5 in the morning and I totally brainfarted the sentence about them being in ICC
My bad 
would you rather have all major characters show up and fire a beam of light like super heroes
I don’t mind if fights were setup like Ulduar was. Where you rescue the Keepers and can activate buffs specific to each keeper to make the fight less aggravating

technically only jaina’s hall of reflection meeting was canon, so canonically sylvanas just did nothing that expac.
I still like to think both of them were present throughout the whole ideal.

That was literally the ending of Dragonflight.
Except none of them do anything to help fight Fyrakk. A better example would be Deathwing. At least the aspects buff you until they have to stop Deathwings wounds from healing.
Alexstrasza burns the small adds that appear on the tendrils.
Kalecgos gives you a haste buff
Ysera gives you a 50% DR defensive
Nozdormu slows down the Elementium spike, giving you time to damage it before it lands.
