First of all these afterlives sucks if you arent a wild god because the way they decide who goes where its not about justice, its not about paying for your sins in life, its about extracting resources for the sake of the shadowlands and how useful you can be, its incredibly disgusting.
Second these afterlives suck because even if you are an average joe everything is quite horrible, you expect to go to a different afterlife but nope, your soul got ripped and put somewhere else for the sake of the shadowlands but i digress.
Getting to my point about sylvanas, she couldve possibly go to revendreth then bastion, im pretty sure she got bamboozled by the jailer.
How do i know? the accuser reaped planets and she is walking free in revendreth, kel thuzad was on maldraxxus and that bastard deserves to be in superhell, both of them deserve to be on super hell, vash should be tortured with garrosh in revendreth but nope, she is free, garrosh killed lots of people and instigated a world war but he is getting anima sucked from his manteats why isnt sylvanas there with him? why she was sent to the maw? so she could be manipulated into screwing everyone up.
Now then we will never be sure of this until the story progresses a bit further.
About her as a character we would need to talk a bit more first.
Most of her behaviour is pretty consistent, she is selfish and first wanted revenge on arthas, after that she left everything to rot but had to go back because she was going to the maw, then she turned the forsaken to her bulwark against death, that was consistent till she didnt needed any of them anymore.
The rest however leaves a lot to be said, she got her power from the jailer and in trying to seem mysterious it comes off as⌠free powers from the writer, we had to be told explicitly several times she is getting more powerful and that is bad writing, you SHOW THAT you dont tell your audience.
Saurfang mentioned that everything she did was a failure but not really, lordaeron? from my side everything was framed as her win, she and by extension the horde genocided the night elves, destroyed a world tree and there was no reaction from the earthern ring or the cenarion circle plus her soldiers still support her, on lordaeron she easly sacrificed lots of horde soldiers to blight everything then deny the city to the alliance, still has the support of the horde, the valkyr she lost? she has a lot more now, the zandalari fleet? nah dw lets make a deal with azshara, boom, the alliance fleet was decimated negating the previous loses no matter she had to sacrifice a couple of her own but its still ok do you know why? even still after that she.still.has. the support of her people as told by lorthemar.
The worst of all this, is that we did this dance once, its not the first time a warchief goes mad with power, THERE SHOULDVE BEEN A REBELLION SINCE TELDRASSIL BURNED, line shouldve been drawn immediatly on prepatch not after freaking patch 8.2
So we see, for this to happen lots of people had to act out of character, half of the story had to be handwaved, breaking disbelief (intercontinental catapults am i right?) and the other half had to be explained on a panel.
Because of her the entire narrative had to be twisted more than a mobius strip that is why she is a bad character, with her current development she is skirting creatorâs pet territory and that is why lots of people hate her, and not hate her in a hate sink way where you hate her because it feels good to hate her, you hate her because every time she appears she ruins the scene.
